Tears of The Kingdom Ganondorf wins just because he's able to wear a man-bun without looking like a complete tool. That alone takes considerable amounts of talent.

I wish they would give him the obnoxious voice and one-liners from the LoZ cartoon.

"Link you are our last hope!"

"EXCUuuuse MEEEeeee Princesss"

It would be horrible, but I would laugh for days.

PS: Just saw some other posts and did not intend to troll the guy above me, I swear.

@ManaOwls

I'm really hoping or a physical copy. I want one.

@Mando44646

Same. It's going to be so nice having all six of those games sitting on my bed-stand, waiting at the ready for how many years it takes me to complete them all.

I'm tempted to give this one a try. There are just so many games out right now. The graphics style kinda reminds me of Super Mario RPG, and looks like it has a good sense of humor too.

@hel105

Yep. And what I like about that, I find old classic games that are released for psn are usually easy trophies for me, because I can usually plow right through them with past knowledge, and have a good time.

Will wait patiently for my playasia physical order, though I'm tempted to get a digital on ps4/5 just for the fun of earning trophies while playing through.

I actually have this game on PS3. It's actually pretty fun to play in short bursts, though I think one of the most disliked KoF games. I hear 14 and 15 are way better.

@gamingxaidan

That's cool. I chose Rosado. I was partial to Goldmary or Yunaka. But I figured Rosado would make it more interesting. It don't think it really made much of a difference though.

Mega Man 12, Mortal Kombat VS Capcom, F-Zero GX Remaster....

Oh, really?

Um. Just wrapped up the Messenger on ps5 after loving it on Switch, got the platinum trophy. Maybe some Onion Assault on switch if I find time. Still have to wrap up Tales of Arise at some point though, and then make room for the new Zelda game.

They brought woodstock and lollopalooza back, even though some of those were disasters. We'll see it rear its head at least a couple of more times. I wouldn't call it "dead" as much as I would call it "retired" and maybe playing a few reunion shows, probably in an embarrassing fashion.

@Dpullam

Nice one. Hopefully it will spend enough time in the oven. I wouldn't want them to release it before its golden.

I wish the company would be visited by three ghosts or whatever it takes to just do a standard world-wide physical release the Pixel Remaster, Suikoden 1 and 2 Remaster, and every other game that's coming out.

If they needed to charge more for the cartridge or disc version, then fine - I'm willing to pay and understand that things cost more now, but just make it available without being a headache. It shouldn't be too much to ask. Maybe more will come to light in April when (if?) Nintendo and Sony make their "big" announcements.

My bet is that he ends up also playing Mario, just another variant of said character, perhaps from another dimension.

If it makes ya'll feel any better, I had a ps4 copy on preorder from square enix. I cancelled it and ordered on playasia because the shipping was cheaper. Then I found out the ps4 version was cancelled.

I did manage to preorder a switch version from them, but yeah....That ps4 physical is probably going to be uber-rare. I will laugh if they finally end up just releasing a wide-spread physical version like they should've from the start. Squeenix certainly are acting weird these past few years.

The teens at my library program wanted an FNAF game really bad, and I made the mistake of ordering this for the PS4. I should've ordered the FNAF core collection. Everyone just got tired of this game really quickly. I played it for a couple of hours, and really couldn't get into it. They had a decent concept, and dropped the ball hard. I regret my unchecked, hasty decision to acquire more games for my program without doing more research. At least we got Elden Ring and some basketball game to keep them happy.

I'd reasonably excited, but don't think I will be blown away. I enjoyed Super Mario Galaxy 2, and that was arguably better than its predecessor, but it didn't blow me away like the first one.

Well, The Quarry averages in the low 70's on there, and I've enjoyed that game more than anything I've touched in the past few years, in terms of "modern 3d games". Review scores aren't everything....but, good for those who got it, I guess.

Well, the comic is great, and the last few TMNT games are pretty great too, so I hope it comes together well.

I'm never going to finish this game. My wife is sick of it. I'm still on chapter 24, grinding for SP, and trying to get the good skills on all characters.

@EvenStephen7

I hope so. That would be some welcome news.

@B_Lindz

I bought that game back in my 20's. It was freakin' awesome. I still have it, but my brother lost the bongos. I'm still tempted to buy some bongos and bring it back. It's a good game on its own, but I think it would need the bongos to be truly great. I could be wrong though.

I bought the copy with River City Girls 1 and 2 on Playasia, but for ps5, because of the performance issues I heard about, and because I'm addicted to getting trophies. It's good that they're patching the game though. I really enjoyed the first one on switch.

I would really like to see playable Bimmy and Jimmy in the future, but I think I'm being too optimistic. I'm willing to pay for that though.

@WhiteTrashGuy

Yes, those and a Fantasy Zone sequel would be bomb as well. But a new Golden Axe with the SoR4 teams would be amazing.

This game was so well done. I would like to see more classic SEGA games get a revival or sequel with such levels of devotion and talent.

As mediocre as the story is compared to some of the other FE games, I daresay that I am near the end of the game, and some of the sadder things that happen really gave me the feels.

I caved in and bought the DLC. I also daresay that this is an 85 dollar game. I don't regret buying the DLC, but the game feels incomplete without it.

@WallyWest

To be fair, I played it, and it is downright scary as hell. I have never been so frightened in a game....maybe because I grew up in the deep south and it hit a little too close to home with its bayou-backwood horror.

Fire Emblem: Engage, Evil Dead: The Game, Injustice 2, and The Quarry, if I have time.

That's good news. I hope that one of the updates introduces a new game plus mode.

@PipeGuy64Bit

I wouldn't be surprised. They had a similar approach with Wii and Wii U. Then again, this is post-Iwata Nintendo. They've done a lot of things that are atypical to their habits in the past. I wouldn't completely blame them either. Switch won't keep the momentum up for more than two years. People just lose interest and want something new.

The canonically accurate Super Mario Bros. movie from the 90's shows that the fungus can communicate telepathically, and are therefore sentient living things. Also, the toad race are fungus-based, so whether or not the mushrooms are "meaty", it is definitely murderous, and unethical.

FACTS.

Also, I ate some mushrooms last night (not the psychedelic kind, just some ones from the supermarket). Dipped them in some ghost-chili hot sauce. It was fantastic. Though my stomach isn't doing too well today.

I cancelled my preorder just because I'm done buying games out of fomo. I just have too many games sitting on my backlog that I have no time to play.

If I catch up, and find the game at a decent price, then great. If I don't, that's fine.

@Octane

Nobody buys a game off the premise that the performance is bad. Having an easy or flexible difficulty curve, is not a fault of a game - that's a matter of personal preference. Poor performance and optimization are fundamental game flaws that nobody asks for. It's a bit perplexing that you don't see the difference between these.

Nintendo just needs to make another legit Wind-Waker game or a remaster of the ds sequel. None of the games inspired by Wind Waker have even come close to meeting the mark. Feel free to enlighten me if there are, I am open to that.

I could try and say the same about Earthbound-inspired games, but a few of those are actually good.

@Frailbay30

If you fight down on the ground and go for 100 percent completion, it can actually be a bit challenging. If you play cheap, and spend most of the time floating around above and skipping everything, then yeah, it can be insanely easy.

@WiiWouldLikeToPlay

Judging poor performance is relevant. Judging a game known for having an easy difficulty curve is like judging a blonde girl for being blonde or ice cream for being fattening....It's kinda why people buy it in the first place...

These are very different things to judge something by. Also, if the Kirby game ran as poorly as the new Pokemon game, then it would be fair game to judge it off of that premise.

Not surprised with IGN's score. They panned Double Dragon Neon and a bunch of other good games based off of personal preference. They're extremely unprofessional.

I don't know. I'm waiting for my physical copy. I do hope this game sells well though.

Usually something like Stink or Ratfink, or something that rhymes with Link. Or some kind of expletive, like ****head. Not that I have anything against Link, I'm just immature when it comes to naming any character.

The PS5 is excellent. It's so much better than the PS4 in every way, honestly what the console should've been from the start. It has a lot of good games too.

Good thing Nintendo is also churning out lots of good games. It's a really good time to be a gamer, I think.

I'm just so happy this is a thing. I thought my switch would be collecting dust in 2023, but nintendo was like "nope".

Shyguys AND a Sniffit. I'm guessing that they'll show a little love for SMB2.

With Pixel Remaster, Dragon Quest 12, Ys X, Street Fighter 6, Metroid Prime HD, Suikoden 1 and 2 Remaster, and having barely sunk my teeth into Fire Emblem: Engage, I might wait a while. I already have a huge backlog before I even get to those really.

Anyway, the other announcements were great.

Pretty awesome. Got to give it to Nintendo on this direct - They have been listening, or know their fans, or both.

Now that was a curveball. Nintendo freaking brought it today.

I remember being about thirteen years old and really sad when I beat Earthbound. I hated that it had to end.

I would also beat Super Mario Bros. 2 religiously. It was always good to see Wart passed offstage and taking a righteous beating. The ending music was also wonderful and soothing.

A Link To The Past's ending always made me happy. Used to give me goosebumps.

I haven't finished Nier: Automata. I plan to finish it at some point. Just too many games and too little time.

I'm honestly not sure. Does it come with the DLC? Is the game going to be worth it? Is this the company making sure its employees are taken care of, or being greedy and throwing 50 bucks of DLC on top of it?

I'm not sure. If they were charging 100 bucks and giving us all future dlc, I'd be for it in an instant. I will wait and see. Not trying to judge, but I definitely can live without having the game day one.

I would like a 3d Mother game, and an F-Zero.

And a 3d Donkey Kong that is actually good.

But being realistic, I'd like a real achievements system. It's getting harder for me to keep buying 3rd party games on nintendo systems when the features on other consoles are usually superior and add so much replay value. I keep my switch around for whatever exclusives may come around.

And also time to play all of the great video games that are actually going to come out.....because I don't have time. I'm only on chapter 7 of the new Fire Emblem. I'm honestly okay if they don't announce anything at this point. But still looking forward to what is announced.

Edit:

Honestly, I'd be okay with a new 2D Mario as well.....or 3d even. It doesn't have to even reinvent the wheel or anything. I think my Mario burnout is over.

@N00BiSH

I would love that, but don't think it's ever going to happen. Nintendo doesn't even need to tack a number on to cash in on the nostalgia element. They also really don't care too much for the 80's and 90's generation. They know we're going to buy whatever Mario or Kirby or Zelda they put out.

But it would be great.

Also, at this point, I'd be fine if they saved Metroid Prime 4 for the next console. Looking at standard HD after playing on a 4k console and TV is almost painful to watch. I just went back to switch for Fire Emblem: Engage, and it feels like looking back at Wii graphics.

@OwenOtter

Both total cuties. I loved Petra's speech impediment. She is sexy but still classy. Yunaka is also very likeable, at least aesthetically.
