@River3636 I’ve always like that and still have it. Played it about a year ago until I finally beat it.
Today, my favorite “bad” game would prob be #killallzombies. I love twin stick shooters and it seems like no one played this. or maybe ziggurat. I keep going back to those between other games on my switch.
It sounds like they fixed my only complaint about this game. This trailer put my hype level to 11 and I almost just went and started playing it on my Wii U. This isn’t my favorite zelda, but it’s in the top 3. I loved the motion controls, but i think I will love playing it with buttons even more.
I will stand by how my 3ds is basically a portable zelda machine, and in time, I expect my switch to be all well. The 3ds is only missing a few games, but with the ds/3ds/vc, I have almost every zelda except the console ones, which are on my Wii U. I still need all of that on my switch, with the new screen
I’m new of the few who never unhooked our Wii U and it has been getting used again lately for some guitar hero and donkey Kong country returns, since that was the best one. Even played some punch out and r-type this morning. This game does not interest me, but I’m still happy devs are out there trying to support it.
The constant hand holding and pop up item menus explaining everything needs to go away. Fast travel thing never bothered me, just every time you pick up an item, having the description pop up is more then annoying, I would not pick up things just to avoid having the menu pop up.
@Decapre my 1tb Wii U and it’s 300+ games would argue that it’s a mistake. It still hooked up next to my switch and Xbox 1, and still gets more use then our Xbox.
These types of games are the reason why I just replay zelda games. No disrespect to developers, but if I have time to play, it’s going to be the best games I can. A rehash of a great game, which one do I play. Just played through lbtw and I almost forgot how awesome it is.
This was a welcome, unexpected game. I never thought we would see a 2d zelda again, let alone such an awesome one. This is a game I’d love to see on switch someday. My 3ds is a portable zelda machine, my switch needs to be too.
@Nontendo4DS a quest 2 at $300 is barely an investment, and it’s awesome. Only reason to wait would be to sell an old console like I did, ps4 went away, and purchased the better model quest and like 15 games now for what I had invested in my ps.
Unless you already made the investment into one, no. But, if you are like me, with over 300 Wii, Wii U, eshop, Wiiware, disc games, all accessories needed to play guitar hero, 8 person smash...then yes, keeping my Wii U alive is top priority. We couldn’t wait for “cat Mario”, and 100% it before we did again on switch. I already fought the bosses in skyward sword justctonplaycwotu motion controls. All the free VC games Nintendo gave us over the years, I will be very sad the die it officially dies. We are on our 3rd gamepad, have another waiting, I replaced the disc drive once and have had a 1tb hard drive. Until switch, it was my favorite console. Switch is with me everywhere I go now and I only use Wii U every couple months now. But as long as i can keep it alive. It will always be 100% ready to play on our living room tv.
Keep the entire overworld, just make done changes to show time past and things coming back together. Add in a lorule or dark world kind of thing, and dungeons. Keep sword mechanics etc. just update some. Please. Just give us classic dungeons and I’ll be happy.
Never played this but would love to have Marbel vs capcom ported over, please. not big on fighters, but its always fun to have a couple that aren’t smash.
Star fox zero was great. Controls set out to do exactly what they wanted, make you feel like you are piloting the ar wing. Game was great aside from those too. I never had the same love for angcc vc as I did for the n64 or even the original, since I was a kid then. But I still fire up the Wii U to playthrough zero every couple months.
@WallyWest some switch owners play 75% of the time in handheld and would love to have gyro in all games, not just when playing with a pro controller, docked. I play almost all mature games in handheld, and we play the family games on tv. I have always preferred a pc, keyboard and mouse for FPS, but I just never have time to use my pc for gaming. If I do, it’s for Starcraft. Since 3ds, Wii U, and 4+years of switch, there are just so many awesome console quality games, on the go, why do I need a pc anymore? And we love our quest 2 headset.
I played 4 swords several times back when eoyu 3 others all on our own gba and gc systems. Great experience. I loved when they did Wii ff echoes with ds/Wii support. I was one of the few who played and enjoyed tri-force heroes. Heck, I loved Metroid fed force. They are different experiences and not every game needs to be a numbered sequel no different then the previous game.
Fed force should have not have had Metroid in the name, no it wouldn’t have been hated for not being prince 4.
Just want to point out this site is acting like Metroid other m is not a good game, when they reviewed it at a 9/10. It’s a great game. but I can see why fanboys didn’t like it. But as a lifelong Metroid fan, I loved it.
@Low_ink sorry, but my right to disagree to this is just as ok as you not wanting those topics in your game. But I do. I’d love gta on switch. Even better would be red dead redemption 1, IMO. I think we will get both at some point. Did you play bayonetta, saints row, watch dogs, madworld, manhunt 2??? just a few Nintendo console games.
I was one upset about it’s art style and after playing it, I still did not have the same love for it as I did either oot or lttp, which where the only other zeldas I had played at the time. I even preordered to get the bonus disc with master quest on it. That was more enjoyable the playing windwaker. Even as an adult, playing it on Wii U, it’s still one of my least favorite zelda games.
@BloodNinja xenoblade, final fantasy, Skyrim, dark souls are all rpgs, different styles but rpgs nonetheless. Why is botw not an rpg? It has dark souls like combat, open world, side quests, you can choose how to play and can beat game under endless scenarios. It can have brutal difficulty on master mode. I also consider it as much a “zelda game” as much as hyrule warriors is. I just think each zelda is different in its own way and is only defined as being it’s on genre... a Zelda game.
Zelda is zelda. IMO, I would call the series an action adventure rpg. No other series is quite as unique though. However, it treads the line of being an rpg in so many ways, that by today’s standards, a game like botw, which people called zelda Skyrim, is an rpg, but I wouldn’t don’t think I would consider skyward sword one, despite it checking some rpg boxes. Twilight princess or windwaker are zelda games and I don’t think you can argue they are rpgs.
Ouch, little harsh IMO. I’d say it’s a decent game in every way, and if you like WoW style questing with button mashing like god of war, and a decent leveling character development, this this is worth your time. Only real complaint, it’s single player and this should have always been a co-op game, even local 2 player would have made this a easy 9/10. I will be getting this again for my switch only just to play portable instead of my ps3.
As I have gotten older and play less, I feel like I’ve played a lot of these games already, so I only see a game completely to the end if it’s really worth my time. Other then that, gaming is more about collecting stars with my kids, hours of smash, or our 5th run of dark souls then it is about putting 100 hours into every rpg I come across. It’s nice to play Witcher, cyberpunk, and right now, outer worlds, but I don’t finish them anymore.
Nintendo would be crazy to not offer the ports of the Mario’s as individual game purchases for every other switch owner who wants just one of them or who buys a switch over the next 4 years. I understand Mario 35 being a limited time thing, it’s free and it would be nice to be a full game...but I’m sure Nintendo has stuff planned for zelda as the year progresses. Play it while you can and move on to the hundreds of other games switch has to offer too. And plenty are free too.
I am playing the outer worlds on my switch. My kids and I are playing cat Mario the rest of the time. Little bit of beat saber and super hot on the rift 2 as well.
As a kid, I loved zelda 1. A friend and I drew out the entire overworld on multiple pieces of paper, taped together in order to beat it. Zelda 2 was terrible to play as a kid and only tried it once as an adult. It’s still one of the few zelda I haven’t beat. The ds ones too, since I couldn’t play using the touchscreen with having carpal tunnel.
@Toy_Link I feel like making the first comment in the thread and the content of the comment, you were looking for people to hate on it. If it’s good, I’ll play it. If it’s bad, then I’ll delete it. That’s all I can say from watching the trailer. No hate, only anticipation.
So excited for car Mario we replayed it on Wii U already, collecting every star again, and getting frustrated with the final world again. Can’t wait to do it again on switch this weekend
@TimboSlice I learned this when I got a Wii U. I always heard complaints when playing my ps3, but as my Wii U and 3ds got better games, I used my ps3 less and less until I got a switch and it’s pretty much my only console. I am trying to play cyberpunk but again, because it’s not portable, it’s hard to find time to play. And with such a big backlog, it prob end up being just like Witcher 3 and coming to switch someday.
I agree that it was a very underrated good game, with some flaws. it did not deserve hate like it got and probably wouldn’t have been if it, like bayonetta 2, was on other consoles.
After watching the bowsers fury trailer, 2 of my boys and i beat 3dworld just because. The 4 rear old is just getting into gaming and loved it. Still getting it day 1 and I’m sure we will be playing that and amoung us this weekend. And more beat saber on the oculus.
@hakjie11 this series was a sleeper obsession. I had no idea I was over 200 hours into the first and it became my most played switch game for a while. Bloodstained though, I have yet to actually play more then 5 hours.
