I’m happy for Mario and all, but I am not convinced it’s for me

Very curious if the multiplayer in sonic will actually be good! Other than that… we’ll see about a sale for Mario.

My top requests are sequels for the Zelda Oracle games, which I’m sure is never going to happen. I’d also love one for LA.
Short of sequels I always thought drastically reimagined remakes (like FFVII is getting ) would be good, but now that they’ve remade LA in the almost lamest way possible (my opinion, of course) I’m not so excited about what they might do to the Oracle games…

Sticking with Zelda, I want more games which connect previous titles together! Nintendo is always so afraid of locking themselves in to a timeline but I think it’s be awesome to feature a game that shows how the Hyrule of ST is the same as original LoZ or etc.

Outside of Zelda: the revival of the Golden Sun series! Dark Dawn didn’t fit the story the first games were telling, so I’d like it retconned or at least paved over in a sequel.

Other than that… making Pikmin 5 more like Pikmin 3? I didn’t really love Pikmin 4 as much.

Getting out if Nintendo’s hands but… Banjo Kazooie? New Tactics Ogre..?

And I’d always love to see more new IP from Nintendo.

2 Temples, 81 shrines, 6 tears, 316 koroks… i’ve got a ways to go.
Did play a little Ultimate Chicken Horse though!

Great message.
Both of the last Zelda games are not meant to be played under outside influence. Try to create your own experience, or better yet, play with someone on the couch next to you to plan and discover together.

I thought Daisy would run away with this one! Guess not

A day may come when Hyrule has been exhausted, but it is not this day.
A day may come when I take out that cartridge and take on a growing backlog, but it is not this day!
This day, I sidequest!

@LadyCharlie Personally, I don't like the "edgy" post-emo thing going around like with Aubrey Plaza, which I think Fox was kind of at the earlier forefront (though I guess there's always been a niche for that in media). There was also some interview she gave where she was like "F* everybody at my lame catholic school, they weren't nice to me" or something. Like come on, you're a wealthy actress now and they're probably all just normal people. Is there any point in gloating at them? Immature bitterness, not something I respect.

All that said, I don't take issue with her being here since it's kind of on-brand for her and I don't even care about MK.

@Manguy888A
Well I’m interested in your thoughts on those games coming from the post BotW era

@Manguy888A sorry about ST. I really love that one because of Zelda’s character and role in the adventure. Kind of understand where you’re coming from but it’s miles ahead of PH imo

Incidentally, which haven’t you completed yet?

Still TotK, still Pikmin 4.
Besides that I’ll play Ultimate Chicken Horse with my siblings-in-law if they come round

Looks like I’m a minority here but Mario hasn’t excited me for a long time. I’m glad they’re doing something different with this one but I doubt it will end up in my library.

2D Sonic is my jam and I think they’ve learned some lessons from Mania which was almost what I wanted but too derivative. I have optimistic expectations for Superstars.

I’ve felt like the indie retro thing was kind of over saturated so wasn’t really interested in this, but there is a demo, so if it’s really that good….

Definitely do not care about awards shows

Tears and Pik

While I certainly don’t feel entitled to anything (the game is more than enough as is), I also don’t find these giveaways worth the effort of opening the game some way other than I always do.

I’ve been waiting for this update ever since they declared TotK’s 10million sales! Kind of surprised it hasn’t reached 20 actually

Overall I think Ages is the better start, but Ages second provide a bit more challenge for the linked finale as you will have weaker items to use.

I love both oracles and agree with this review. I do want to say, however, that the visuals are significantly improved from LADX. Smaller details, more vibrant colors, and much more original mechanics and content.
OoA is top 5 in my book

@Mrkittyhead They are based on that LA engine and in my opinion they are superior to it in every way other than plot.

Correct answer is Golden Sun!

FZero is not exciting

I played the original way back when and it was pretty fun! Not mercilessly difficult like the rest of the Dpt. Heaven series.
Yggdra Union was fun but too difficult for me.

Still fully in tears. 125 korok seeds and I still haven’t found Hestu 😭

Rock guys are amazing for killing enemies

Pumped about this game, but character customization is not something I need or care about in the least.

I’ve been holding this in, but the 2019 remake was a big disappointment for me. The decision to show the player past the area they are in and into whatever’s beside it destroys a lot of the mystery and illusion of scale the original devised.

As for the other two, it’s a toss-up. I don’t love the colors chosen for DX,, and the color tunics are unnecessary for an already easy slate of bosses. and I like how the “no deaths” ending of OG <spoiler> makes Marin grow wings rather than transform into a seagull …but the photo quests add a lot of character and charm.

@rokboxapopolis I guess with any art form I’d say it’s kind of for both. The voice of the masses usually doesn’t produce the best product, but creators do have to take their audience into consideration.

I like to play games as their creators intend, generally.

I find the violence juvenile and disturbing

American one is boring
Spirit Tracks had a similar situation. NOA likes dull colors.

Does this information imply any specific number ranges?

I found it pretty relatable, in a “we’re not teens anymore; gotta squeeze in hobbies where you can” kind of way

I also would like to see the sources for these numbers

As kids we don’t realize that game workds are just limited to what the programmers decided to make. We look at it like the real world, so those things off in the distance actually are just as “real” and the places the game lets you explore. It does make the games feel more real and infinite, and it’s a nice piece of childhood innocence/wonder.
Incidently, this is why I hate the new Link’s Awakening letting you see over the walls into different areas. It breaks the immersion and reveals how artificial and compact the world is.

Why can’t people just stick with the creators’ plan? What do they gain by playing 2 weeks before the rest of us? Seems like breaking rules just because you can.

This seems like a good way to limit the survivability of worldwide copies, but I guess the game is accessible in other forms so it won’t ever truly be lost

I don't really get the hype around this "song" when it's really more of a musical gag that gets interrupted before being anything...

If anyone needs translation:

“[Ganondorf]
　Only once every hundred years, a male is born in the female-only Gerudo tribe. He seems to have some connection to the cataclysm which struck Hyrule…”

To my knowledge, it’s just 30 more koroks and I never got a perfect score the horseback archery minigame for the horse armor (or helmet, whichever).

I get on about once per year to roam around and have fun, and usually find about 3-5 in those sessions.

Not bad!
For me, 1.BotW 2.WW 3.OoA 4.MM 5.OoT

That’s a little TOO inspired, if you ask me. Might try it though

I regretted buying the first game, unfortunately. Not my cuppa.

As a massive Zelda fan, I’ve never been able to understand why I couldn’t get in to Okami

Making the princess “strong and confident, with real agency” has been called innovative since before any of us were born. And I guess it’s going to generate articles even long after we’re dead.

@kurtasbestos don’t get me started on Japanese webpages… -_-

Of course Kanji looks great, but I don’t like all the other clutter (“Gameboy Advance” in two languages, “for 1-2 players”, “A fantasy RPG” … though one could argue that the western version does the same with the giant GBA margin and the silly “seal of quality”

I feel like “Link” is too default

@tseliot this isn’t talking about most games, it’s about Spirit Tracks where she accompanies Link for the entire adventure.
If you haven’t tried it I would definitely recommend — very humorous Princess Zelda!

No complaints on the top two, but Zelda is definitely one of the most memorable in the series

Didn’t know I cared about Kalos, but Alana’s pitch sounds fascinating.
