Re: Feature: Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link Taught Me The Value Of Perseverance

DeusX

I love Zelda II and played it a lot as a kid, it was my first Zelda game. Is it an hardcore game? Yes, but at that time many (if not all) NES games were very difficult to play and finish, games such as G&G, Simon's Quest, Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden.

However, Zelda II was one of the best adventure games at the time, featuring a gigantic world map full of secrets, mysteries and dungeons. There is a great sense of adventure, exploration and progression in this game, It has a more darker, mystical feelings to it then other entries in the series. You are given very few informations on how to continue your journey or how to find items and so you often lose yourself in this vast world populated by terrible foes. This is exactly the magic of which this game is filled.

If approached in the wrong way sure, it can be a nightmare, but it's just because it needs time to be understood. Items Link find in the Palaces are essential to progress (eg. the Candle to lights up the caverns, the Hammer to smash rocks), and so are the magics he learns from sages in the villages that are much needed to overcome enemies and the terrifying bosses. Although it is important to level-up (strength, life and magic) and find the heart/magic containers, it's equally important to deeply learn the combat system which was absolutely a blast at its time.

It is a good and rightful Zelda game, needs to be viewed from a different perspective then the other games in the series and to be approached differently.

Please Nintendo, add some new user features to the system, Switch has 3 years now and it deserves more!

For example, add a dynamic theme mode that changes UI colors based on the Joycons connected.. Wouldn't it be cool?

Re: Review: Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Champions - Who Needs Hearthstone?

DeusX

Downloaded the game a while ago and currently playing it. It's simply one of the best card game out there, only second to Magic in my opinion! Gameplay is very different from Magic, with a very strategic declination, it's fast to play and illustrations are wonderful.

There is no pay-to-win here, just play the solo campaign, collect cards and build your desired decks, then challenge online opponents or friends

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #13 - Goemon's Great Adventure

DeusX

Loved the first two Goemon's games on the SNES, I played them as a kid back in 1992 on my shiny Super Famicom

I think the second game never left Japan, but it was a very very fun game in two-players mode, one of the best games on SNES.

@sanderev Sometimes, in my experience, the eShop is not always so responsive to controller inputs, especially when the connection speed is not optimal and I find myself a bit distant from a router.

@BarefootBowser Sure, I like the minimalist look and feel of the OS, it's simple and fast and overall I like it. But I think a simple folder system would be a good addition. Also, themes are there, they just need to add some extra ones. Player activity currently is only partially shown to the user and I would like to see all my games playtimes, not just the last 20 played games.

Lazy OS updates as always from Nintendo..
I can't understand what it takes to add the so much requested new features to the system such as folders, some extra themes, a better view on user game activities, an updated eShop (current one is too slow)...

Re: Talking Point: The Sound Strategy Behind 2DS Points To A Switch Mini

DeusX

I suppose Nintendo will surely release a Switch Mini and a Pro model. I can expect the Mini to be released this November along with the new Pokemon games, while the Pro will launch next year to have a better Switch on the market at the time PS5 comes out.

I think the Mini will cost no more than 199$, it will obviously be cheaper because several components are removed as the Joy-cons are fused with the console: so, 1x ir-camera, the 2x motion sensors and the 2x HD-rumble (so a single motion sensor and an HD-rumble embedded with the main console body). All games will be compatible with this model, except when playing in tabletop and docked modes that will require additional Joy-cons or a Gamepad pro.

IMO the Pro model will only have a better hardware (with more ram, higher CPU frequencies and a revised Tegra X1 or X2) for boosting games performance towards 60fps and 1080p res, and a better screen of course! It could also include a 4g/5g module to play online on the go, bluetooth voice chat directly on the console and a smoother eShop experience.

Re: A New Earthworm Jim Is Coming, But There's A Rather Large Catch

DeusX

I loved the first Earthworm Jim.
However, they say the console will launch with 20 exclusive games and Earthworm Jim is only one of them. Also in the trailer they say all games released for the console will be exclusives!

I need to wait and see before making an opinion on this new console.

Re: Feature: Nintendo's 2018: A Remarkable Year In Review

DeusX

2017 was greatness with the release of Mario Odyssey and Zelda BOTW, followed by third parties like Sonic Mania, Skyrim and Doom.

2018 was a "good" year in the end, thanks to Smash Bros. and Pokemon Let's Go. From third parties we also got a lot of GREAT games like Crash Bandicoot 'Nsane Trilogy, Octopath Traveler, Valkyria Chronicles 4, DragonBall FighterZ, Wolfenstein II, Diablo 3 and Dark Souls. We could say a decent year for Nintendo first party games but also a fantastic year thanks to third party support! Can't forget all the beautiful indie gems like Hollow Knight, Celeste, Hyperlight Drifter and Monster Boy!

2019 will be another fantastic year in my opinion! We will see the release of highly anticipated games like Fire Emblem, a New Pokemon game ad a new Animal Crossing from Nintendo, while from third parties Doom Eternal, Mortal Kombat 11, Crash Team Racing for sure and hopefully Persona 5. Unfortunately I feel Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 will probably be delayed to 2020

Happy 2019 to everyone!
