Unless this was your first Zelda as a child and nostalgia strikes hard for you, this is the worst 3d Zelda miles away. Not bad, just the least good. The same happens with the oracle games for me. Maybe not that good for everyone, but as my firsts, I have them highly ranked.
@Low_ink Hoping for a good Zelda 35th announcement too. A collection, news on BOTW2, remasters... someting other than the upcoming full-priced port of the worst (least good) 3d game of the franchise.
Symphonia is one of my favorite games ever, glad to see the recognition. Also, seeing Vesperia up there makes me wonder whether I should buy DQ11 or Vesperia as my next JRPG. Will have to dig deeper into reviews and comments
Not only my first Zelda games, but also my very first Video Games ever. Nostalgia is strong with these ones. Would definitively buy a two-in-one HD remake
This game was much better than I expected after reading the reviews. Yeah, it is not BOTW, but it is still a great game. Ubisoft could have easily overlooked a Switch version here. Thank the gods they did not
But in the end, we keep buying those lazy ports, not even remasters or remakes, like all the people that bought the Mario 3d collection (I admit I would buy a Zelda 3d collection, but not SS alone)... so Nintendo keeps laughing and playing it safe and cheap.
@jamesthemagi Thanks for all the details, Yeah it seems the story is silly but fun. So far my experience with the demo is that it has been too easy after 4 stages I think. Like, they can´t damage my main characters and I can one-hit destroy all enemies. I was not expecting FE maddening difficulty but this is strange, I think I chose easy or something? Stages are also very small compared to FE for now. I will finish the demo and decide whether it is a good choice or if I should go for the only route I´m missing in FE:3H, the blue lions for now
I was just about to buy Disgaea5 yesterday as it is on discount, but I´m still not sure about it. I love strategy rpgs such as Fire Emblem or FF tactics but have never played this series. Reviews on it aren´t that great, so I will give it a thought before the sale ends...
Having only played the remake, I can say I loved the story, the art-style and almost everything else, but it is tooo short to have the same price as BOTW.
This finally seems great after the latest dissapointments from GF. Still, my biggest issue with the SWSH was the difficulty level (the non-existing difficulty level), so I just hope they fix that somehow and I´m in again.
I may fall and continue buying some of their games but the non-existing difficulty from the last generations killed any possible hype imo. The only anniversary i hyped this year was Zelda and only brought us the worst (less good) 3d Zelda back. Still, hope they suprise me
Great article and final ranking. Minor personal changes but this must be the one. I have played all the top 10 but the original one and (hope nobody fires me) A link to the Past. I guess I should start playing it ASAP. Just wondering whether the GBA or the SNES version (Nintendo Online) is best.
So, the console version despite being only a deluxe version of a previous gen entry is still the best-selling switch game to date (not for much longer) and yet receives no love compared to a mobile version. Also, there doesn´t seem to be any new version coming soon with the recent release of the Live:Home Circuit hybrid.
Nothing to hype for. Only looking for the Triangle Project and maybe buying Splat3, but no hype at all. Was expecting a good Zelda collection, but a single $60 hd port is not worth it....

Re: Talking Point: Which Indie Game Should Be "99"ed Next?
Mario Kart 99. Only green shells or bombs. One touches you - > you out.
The last 5 places to reach certain checkpoint or complete a lap -> out.

Re: Poll: Are You Still Playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons A Year Later?
Is a good game but not for me. Played only a few days and quitted to never return again. I regret buying it, but happy for the rest who enjoy it
Re: Dead Cells Has Now Sold 5 Million Copies Worldwide
Waiting for another sale to get this one.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do People Love Games Like Stardew Valley And Animal Crossing?
Interesting read. I personally find these games boring and regret buying ACNH, but I totally get why people love them.
Now bring me Bloodborne 2

Re: Strategy RPG Black Legend Brings "The Maddening Mists" To Switch Later This Month
Love the genre and the setting. This could be a day-one for me, just hoping it doesn´t get significant visual/technical concessions in the switch.

@FroZtedFlakerZz the same with ACNH. Love that Nintendo is doing well with those titles, but still selling so much? wow
