I used to love playing this in Arcades as a very wee boy

@rjejr But they never even gave a date. They gave a tentative release window, and they have now delayed it slightly to make a finished game. Ocarina of Time was delayed about 5 times and look how that turned out. It is still the highest rated video game of sll time.

@rjejr Oh dear. Are you being serious? They never lied. They planned to release it this year; however, they were unable to in the time frame they set out. In one comment you have made it abundantly clear that you do mot have a clue about game development.

@rjejr Well considering half of the best games of all time lists contain mostly their games, I would rather wait for an amazing rather than a rushed substandard one.

@rjejr The excellent Nintendo level and puzzle designs take much more time to create than just an open World with the same repetitive things like Skyrim, Assassin's Creed etc. They take a lot of planning and design development. Also the sheer size of the game and to be released pretty much bug free like the 1st BotW is a huge amount of work too.

I am sure they have learned a lot and listened to the criticisms of the 1st game e.g. Divine Beasts to few and too short, and will improve upon this greatly.

Wow! Such a nice story. It is the best game of the past 20 years. Well done!

Elden Ring and nothing else. Not since BotW has exploration been so rewarding.

@bimboliquido I came on to write the exact same thing. Facebook groups are even worse!

What happened to SNES snd NES games? Are they getting any third party support? It seems to be only 1st party games that are being released.

This is nice, but what happened to SNES and NES games?

I am looking forward to the courses from Mario Kart Tour being added. I don't play mobile games so I have no experience with these tracks whatsoever. It would be nice if tracks from the Marko Kart arcade games could be added also.

As long as Pokemon have their abilities again, and there are online battles, I will be happy.

@Dr_Lugae There are many great games apart from Mario Kart. Many games don't sell as well now. Animal Crossing sales dropped, Xenoblade 2, Astral Chain, Paper Mario, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Yoshi Crafted World, Mario Odyssey, Pokemon Let's Go etc. They could all do with a price reduction. Also a price reduction of Mario Kart would devi items creat an increase in sales of the Online Expansion pack. 5 years in and some almost 10 year old games. 2 newer far more powerful consoles with some very strong exclusive games on the way..... I think it would be a great time to permenantly reduce prices of games on the ageing hardware.

@LUIGITORNADO Did you read the article? The clue is in the heading 😖

How about they permenantly reduce the prices of their Evergreen titles, under the Player's Choice/Nintendo Selects labels? This will surely increase sales of older titles and it really is about time now. New games and new IP would be excellent.

I want to like these games, but I just don't get them. I feel like I am missing out on something.

Sony, in comparison to Nintendo, also has amazing sales on PSN. Nintendo first party games never go any lower than a 33% discount.

I hope for the Switch successor, Nintendo understands the potential of its online services.

I think Nintendo have covered the cost of the game. I love Metroid however it does not have the same appeal as its other 1st party games. For example, it it does not have the same cross-gender appeal as Mario, Zelda and Animal Crossing.

It is also the definition of a hard-core game as it is challenging. For the type of game it is, (2D action/adventure), that those sales numbers are pretty decent.

@sanderev It doesn't matter that Sega has not been the best in recent years. They have a tonne of dormant franchises that are worth a lot, that would benefit from the Nintendo development magic.

This is awful for the industry. I would be happy if Nintendo just opened more of their own new studios.

I absolutely loved the Divine Beasts. The visual spectacle of them was incredible, particularly the fire one when it was moving. I found it exhilarating. I also felt they contained better puzzles than the stupidly easy ones found in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. I like to have some head scratching puzzles in the games. The Divine Beast format on an even grander scale I would be happy with, but I would also of course love challenging dungeons OoT and MM style.

@sanderev The next console has to be backwards compatible, and all moving forward, especially if we are moving to an all digital future.

The spirit of 16 bit adventures has already been resurrected, many, many, many times by the indie scene.

If Nintendo actually shared some information about the game, then this would not be necessary.

Never has there been such a blatant rip off! If it's a good one I would still play it.

Do we just not get any NES, SNES or Megadrive games anymore? What a waste of money. I will be reducing my subscription next year.

I have never been a huge Kirby fan, but I am looking forward to this game. It is always exciting when Nintendo transition one of their 2D games to 3D. Don't know if it will do for Kirby what OoT, Mario 64 and Metroid Prime did for their respective fanchises, but I can hope!

Mario Kart 8 still sells exceptionally well. It was No 1 in the UK all format charts this Xmas. That is insane after all these years. I am not sure Nintendo are in a huge rush to release the next one.

@nitrolink A game with the scope, size, puzzles etc of Zelda are not as easy to develop and take time. I played Breath of the Wild on release as well and did not encounter a single bug. They will be perfecting it I am sure.

@Bydlak I hear you. They should be made available of course. I just personally do not find much enjoyment in them anymore. I still love the best 16 bit games like the day they were released, but the majority of these older computer based games I cant find the enjoyment in anymore, as much as I would love to.

However they are an important part of gaming history, and people should have access to them.

Sadly the games from these computers have not aged well at all. I enjoyed playing Myth, Flimbo's Quest, Rainbow Islands and New Zealand storybas a kid, but they are not so much fun now.

It's always the same games lol.

He blethers a lot of pish doesn't he?

What about Megadrive, SNES and NES games? It is a joke how we have had none of those for months either

For me it was Windwaker for being insultingly easy and repetitive, as beautiful as it was with an epic soundtrack. It should be on this list too.

I hate this. This means more low budget barebones Pokemon games.

Does this mean we will get more Pokemon games and remakes in this cheap and horrific art style?

The first game started off well, but turned out to be more Banjo Tooie than Banjo Kazooie in the end I.e. a bit of a boring collectathon without the clever puzzles and rewards. For the sequel I would like some tighter and consistent puzzle-platforming design, with better camera and controls. I like a collectathon, but you need lot of secrets and clever designs to make it feel worthwhile. It really could have been brilliant but there were some poor design choices. Fingers crossed they do a better job this time.

It makes sense for it to be exclurive if it will help them shift consoles.

Button mapping would be handy, as well as improved input lag. As it's emulated, some enhanced graphic options and 60fps would be great.

Just shut up and start making it already!

How does this even happen? Someone 9n the inside must not like their employer.

@CharlieGirl Of course there will be a new one! The sales figures for Smash are through the roof. It makes Nintendo millions of pounds.

@Lordplops But unfair treatment and bullying, such as isolating team members is illegal and should not happen.

If games are to be released for it monthly ( there are 4 consoles now it shouldn't be hard), then it could be more worth it. If we are to be drip fed like we are currently, then it is not worth that amount

The GTAV controls would be very welcome. I gave up on 3 and Vice City as when a mission involved getting out of the car, you would often just get shot and killed from no fault of your own. Those controls will vastly improve those games.

I am intrigued! It looks super cool.

@Debo626 They are around the same price

If Samsung lead the way on OLED TVs, why are they still pushing the Inferior QLED (basically LCD) technology in theor TVs?

@Patendo It is a 1st party Nintendi game so have fun waiting!!
