Keeping my expectations in check, as always. While there definitely will be some big things, I can't help but feel that this one wouldn't be quite as strong as the previous two. Love to be proved wrong, though. And if not, then it's really not a problem since there's so much coming out.
Eh, I wasn't really expecting too much anyway. Normally these things cover what is already known with maybe a curveball or two. Shame this wasn't one of those times.
Looks absolutely incredible. The fact that everything looks so weird and wacky and...different...! God, it feels so go to see something fresh from this series again!
See, for Mario it worked because the franchise is suitable for all ages big and small. Zelda, as said by nessisonett, is arguably not for kids. It's mostly aimed at teens (baring few expectations).
Can you imagine a six or eight year old playing Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess? They'd be mentally scarred.
Not against one happening, but I don't really see it. They could easily shadow-drop a few trailers here and there and maybe give Pikmin 4 its dedicated Direct.
Gloom Hands for sure. But nothing tops TP and especially MM for me when it comes to the creepiness factor.
Having the moon constantly staring you in the face was basically the equivalent of Death breathing down your shoulders. Accompanied by the time limit, it really does show you that it's all over once the final hours of the Final Day hit. Along with many other creepy stuff from the game as well.
Kinda unfortunate seeing Ivy, Chloé, and Panette not being in the top five, along with the absence of Zelkov and Rosado. Especially considering that those five were the only folks that I liked, could remember, and could take seriously (even with their goofy antics).
I'll forgive it since Yunaka is high, though. As she is also one of my favorites.
IX was my first. Was super curious about what makes this series so beloved so I gave that a go a few years back. And after finishing...yeah, not only is it my favorite game in the series, but it also turned me into the fan I am today.
If you ask me, he's one of the few protagonists that I don't mind staying silent. It's a part of his charm, I guess you could say. So giving him voice acting would just feel...off.
Yup, figured this was gonna happen. Not that I'm really bothered by it considering that we normally get showered with gaming news during the summer anyway.
The fact that the characters interact more is an enough reason for me to get this. Don't care how too little or too much, 'cause that's the one main thing that bothered me after playing the orignal. On top of its ho-hum story that this game thankfully seems to have fixed.
As great as that trailer was, I STILL haven't seen what makes this a true absolute sequel. I'm looking forward to this and getting it, don't get me wrong, but the advertising for this game has been very bizarre as of late.
Lissa on my first run, Cordelia on my second, and Chrom on my third and last. And I don't mind the marriage stuff coming back as long as it's like this.
I'd give it a C or D. It had a decently strong showing at the start, but it lost me halfway through. Although it did show off a lot of games I'm looking forward to, so I wouldn't call it a...complete waste of time.
Yeah, as much as I'm looking forward to this movie, having all this info dumped in the span of almost two weeks is a bit much in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, April will be here before we know it and I never say no to another trailer, but let's slow down a bit.
Judging from the image, yup! I guess we will indeed see what Peach sounds like! Which I am looking forward to given how first impressions of this were pretty decent.
Also kinda weird that they didn't save this for TGA, but hey! It leaves more room for GUNS AND SPAAAAAACE GAMES!!!

Re: Princess Peach: Showtime! Opens On Switch In March 2024
Like the variety in this. Looks to be a fun time.

Re: Poll: Will There Be A September Nintendo Direct This Year?
Don't see why we wouldn't. We've been getting them for years, so why stop the trend now?
Re: Charles Martinet Will No Longer Be The Voice Of Mario
An end of an era indeed. Godspeed, man.
Re: Pokémon Presents August 2023: Every Announcement, Full Livestream
Eh, I wasn't really expecting too much anyway. Normally these things cover what is already known with maybe a curveball or two. Shame this wasn't one of those times.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
Europe, no question. Really couldn't stand how they keep using those minimalistic boxarts for North America. They're charming, sure, but not for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Makes A Good Sidequest, Anyway?
Character development, worldbuilding, and a good reward for your efforts are what I love to see in my sidequests.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Today's Nintendo Direct?
That was good. Really, really good. While I personally wouldn't say it was the best one, it definitely delivered on what I wanted to see.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder, A Brand New 2D Mario Game, Is Coming To Switch
Looks absolutely incredible. The fact that everything looks so weird and wacky and...different...! God, it feels so go to see something fresh from this series again!
Re: Super Mario RPG Is Getting A Remake This November, And It Looks Amazing
Sooooo happy to see this be a thing. I can't wait for it!
Re: Random: Some Square Enix Staff Really Want A Final Fantasy VI Remake
A remake of VI would be an absolute dream come true. Wouldn't care how long it takes, as I loved that game to bits.
Re: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Announced For Nintendo Switch
This was a no-brainer with the 3DS Eshop shutting down a while back. So happy that they're free from that thing now.
Re: Can You Match These Zeldas To The Game They're From?
17/17! Nice! First time I got a perfect score on these, haha.
Re: Rumour: Universal Closing "Big Deal" With Nintendo For Zelda Illumination Movie

Re: Poll: Will There Be A June 2023 Nintendo Direct?
Not against one happening, but I don't really see it. They could easily shadow-drop a few trailers here and there and maybe give Pikmin 4 its dedicated Direct.
Re: Talking Point: Is Tears Of The Kingdom The Scariest Zelda Game Ever?
Gloom Hands for sure. But nothing tops TP and especially MM for me when it comes to the creepiness factor.

Re: Pokémon HOME Support Release Date For Scarlet And Violet "Mistakenly Announced"
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Listen, I, like many others, have actually enjoyed my time with S/V, but this is just...PFFTHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Re: Blizzard Cancels Overwatch 2's Long-Awaited PvE Hero Mode
So I guess that there's practically no point in calling this a sequel, then?
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - An Absolute Marvel, But Is It Better Than BOTW?
Nice to see it did well. Can't wait for tomorrow.
Re: Alear Tops Fire Emblem Engage 'Popularity Poll' In Japan
Kinda unfortunate seeing Ivy, Chloé, and Panette not being in the top five, along with the absence of Zelkov and Rosado. Especially considering that those five were the only folks that I liked, could remember, and could take seriously (even with their goofy antics).
I'll forgive it since Yunaka is high, though. As she is also one of my favorites.
Re: Poll: Which Was Your First 'Final Fantasy'?
IX was my first. Was super curious about what makes this series so beloved so I gave that a go a few years back. And after finishing...yeah, not only is it my favorite game in the series, but it also turned me into the fan I am today.
Re: Nintendo Announces Indie World Showcase For Tomorrow, April 19th 2023
Yeah, Silksong is definitely being saved for a Direct at this point. I can totally picture it being the last thing they show or something.
Re: Talking Point: Should Link Have Voice Acting In The Next Zelda Game?
If you ask me, he's one of the few protagonists that I don't mind staying silent. It's a part of his charm, I guess you could say. So giving him voice acting would just feel...off.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Pre-Launch Trailer Is Absolutely Stunning
We're almost there. Almost.
Re: It's Official, E3 2023 Has Been Cancelled
Yup, figured this was gonna happen. Not that I'm really bothered by it considering that we normally get showered with gaming news during the summer anyway.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Gameplay Trailer Drops Tomorrow, 28th March 2023
About time. Now to see what eally makes this sequel so special.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC, The Hidden Treasure Of Area Zero, Coming Later This Year
I'm honestly shocked that we didn't get a Mystery Dungeon game. Regardless if it was a remake or a new entry. Would've made my day, but...guess not.
Re: Review: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe - A Suitably Dreamy Encore For One Of Kirby's Best
Was an amazing game back then and it still is now. Gonna be a busy day between this and Octopath 2.
Re: Talking Point: What Will Be Announced On Pokémon Day 2023?
Mystery Dungeon, Mystery Dungeon, Mystery Dungeon.
It's my top priority above anything else. Even the SV DLC.
Re: Review: Octopath Traveler II - A Confident Follow-Up And One Of Switch's Finest RPGs
The fact that the characters interact more is an enough reason for me to get this. Don't care how too little or too much, 'cause that's the one main thing that bothered me after playing the orignal. On top of its ho-hum story that this game thankfully seems to have fixed.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2023 Nintendo Direct?
@SNES64DD Layton, Ghost Trick, and (despite needing more info on it), ToTK.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2023 Nintendo Direct?
It was great. Loved every second of it.
Re: New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Shows A Flying Vehicle And Fresh Details
As great as that trailer was, I STILL haven't seen what makes this a true absolute sequel. I'm looking forward to this and getting it, don't get me wrong, but the advertising for this game has been very bizarre as of late.
Hope for a Zelda Direct or something.
Re: Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp Is Deploying On Switch This April
Finally, thank god. I can't wait for it!
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Switch eShop Price Is $70 USD
Seriously? Tch. This better be one heck of a game, then.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For Tomorrow
Advance Wars, Prime 4, Silksong, Pikmin 4, and more info on ToTK. Those are my safe bets considering this is a usual February Direct.
Re: Talking Point: Who Did You Marry In Fire Emblem: Awakening?
Lissa on my first run, Cordelia on my second, and Chrom on my third and last. And I don't mind the marriage stuff coming back as long as it's like this.
Re: Random: The Ace Attorney Court Bot Is Probably Closing Shop Thanks To Twitter's New Rules
Musk adding more fuel to the already scorching fire he made, I see.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Engage - Relationships Get Sidelined By A Thrilling Combat-First Focus
"Social sim, relationship, and romance aspects are an afterthought this time."
Good. Shame I have to wait until next week to get this due to unfortunate circumstances, but I'm glad that it managed to exceed my expectations.
Re: Feature: Nintendo's Year In Review - Our Team Chats Big Switch Games, Butt Discourse, And Sakurai's Cat
2022 was not quiet in the slightest for the Switch. And assuming things will go smoothly, 2023 being quiet will basically be nonexistent.
Re: Rumour: Leaked Images Of A Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED Model Appear Online
Looks as fake as fake can get. Totally excepting something like this to happen as we get closer to the game's release, though.
Re: Ash Ketchum And Pikachu's Time In The Pokémon Anime Is Coming To An End
Man, so this really is it, huh? Definitely going to be very weird going forward considering that these two have been a part of our lives for so long.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced At The Game Awards 2022 - Every Game Reveal And Trailer
I'd give it a C or D. It had a decently strong showing at the start, but it lost me halfway through. Although it did show off a lot of games I'm looking forward to, so I wouldn't call it a...complete waste of time.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Voice Actor Keegan-Michael Key To Appear At The Game Awards
Yeah, as much as I'm looking forward to this movie, having all this info dumped in the span of almost two weeks is a bit much in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, April will be here before we know it and I never say no to another trailer, but let's slow down a bit.
Re: Princess Peach And Donkey Kong Debut In New Super Mario Bros Movie Trailer
Holy wow that trailer was great. Even better than the last one even!
And they made Peach, my personal least favorite Mario character, actually good??? This movie truly is gonna be something else.
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For The Premiere Of Super Mario Bros. Movie's Second Trailer
Judging from the image, yup! I guess we will indeed see what Peach sounds like! Which I am looking forward to given how first impressions of this were pretty decent.
Also kinda weird that they didn't save this for TGA, but hey! It leaves more room for GUNS AND SPAAAAAACE GAMES!!!
Re: Feature: 30 Changes We'd Like To See In The Next Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Update
Yeah, customization would definitely feel welcomed given how the pervious gens had it.
Would've preferred that than the abundance amount of restaurants everywhere, my god.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokémon Scarlet And Violet?
7/10. Maybe even an 8/10. The performance and graphics may be abysmal (along with other small annoyances), but damn am I having a good time with this.
Might even go so far as say it's the fourth best in the series in my book.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 Launches Next Month
I hope we get Toad's Factory from Wii. It's one of my favorite tracks in the series. Especially with that music.
Re: Review: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet - An Open-World Poké Playground Full Of Promise (And Tech Issues)
Don't really care for performance issues if the overall game is better than Sword and Shield. That's all that matters to me. Can't wait for it.
