I don’t care about COD as it is right now. But how would I know where this franchise will go in the future? I may become a huge fan if given the opportunity.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a mobile game with all those “excellent” and “great” encouragements each time you make a jump? It is just so off brand and weird… and not in a good way. The elephant is so random.

@Noxide Knowing how unfortunate advertising and advertising briefs can be, if marketing decided to use rap, they likely had a very simplistic targeted audience in mind sometimes in the worst ways.

The original Prince of Persia had what resembled hair or farbtic wrap around his head…and in the box art/illustrations, a piece of fabric wrapped around his head with a piece of scarf tying in together and the top.

Think Disney’s Aladdin, flying with Princess Jasmine.

What’s with the Prince’s new look? He looks like a prince from another continent…. 🧐

Controversy and artistic liberty aside, the game looks like another generic Ubisoft game. I couldn’t tell if it was an Immortal Fenyix sequel or not…..

Tell me when it goes on sale 2 months after launch. I may consider the game then 😂

Atlus should bring over the Persona Q and Q2 on the 3DS based on Persona 4 and 5. Persona 5 Tactica is exactly the same chibi characters and style. Half of those remakes/ports is already done.

@larryisaman The Zelda animation plot will be pretty straight forward. Zelda/Hyrule needs saving. Link goes through 4 elemental dungeons one by one to collect some trinket to power up the magic ocarina to take down the big baddie. All Zelda games have pretty much the same structure.

Are we going to get a Wind Waker or Tears of The Kingdom Zelda? I would be game if they literally do a Wind Waker/Link’s Awakening Remake style one. I just can’t see them making anything above PG13. A Castlevenia-anime style Zelda is out of the question… and several monsters in TOTK will leave kids scared with nightmares.

@Knightrider1 Nintendo is too scared for a life action film after the first Mario film.

Am I the only person with difficulties flying this bike? 🤣

Underwater.

There has to be a reason why we can’t do something as simple as that when we can fly however we like in these 2 games. Are you telling me they haven’t thought of adding that to BOTW or TOTK? Perhaps a Wind Waker-like/Phantom Hour Glass-like game. Please make it a new world, unless some flood can make a new version of Hyrule beyond our recognition.

If not, Nintendo has the game engine to make another Hyrule quickly. The physics, code etc. are all there already. Plus, aren’t they basing TOTK on the Splatoon engine? Change some parameters, add a fresh design, gameplay, story and characters.I don’t see why they need another 6 years for an open world Zelda game.

I demand Sony provide a thorough explanation of their research methods, data and sample size. Until 3rd parties can verify and replicate their same data, their research is not peer-reviewed and considered not scientific. 🤓

Foam? Need I say more?? 🤣🤣🤣

Let’s be honest, the joycons themselves are inaccessible in their own right for some. They are tiny and rigid etc. Motion control isn’t for everyone either…even if they are updated to not require that (I am looking at you Skyward Sword).

Aside button mapping, Nintendo (and really the whole industy) should partner or contribute to accessible inputs companies to provide some form of standard for linking their games to any accessible devices.

This is a series reboot. The game shows us as much.

Nintendo should just leave these “glitches” in the game.

Frankly, I wish Nintendo had implemented a difficulty setting for TOTK. It is harder than BOTW for many I’ve talked to (casual to expert players alike). Not everyone has the time, skill and/or patience to grind. If a player want to enjoy the story or crafting zonai mechas more, please provide options for that.

As an aside, the regional phenomenons ARE dungeons no matter what people whine about. 😂 Some of the shrines even have keys players need to find. If people want to be locked away till they can get out, may I suggest escape rooms in real life? 😄

While I am excited and look forward to whether Game Freak’s new game is another Pocket Jockey, or similar calibre….

I am tired of Game Freak. Their reluctance to put in any effort on the mainline Pokémon games is quickly loosing any respect for them.

They already contracted off the Pokémon remakes. (I am still annoyed with the pixel REMASTER of Pokémon Pearl and Diamond). They have so much time already with 3D Pokémon games and still they gave us Scarlet and Violet.

They sit on all the resources in the world and keep ignoring their main game. Sure, branch off and make new IP, but not at the expense of making a good Pokémon game.

Notice, Nintendo is staying away from publishing their new game after their horrible release of My Little Town Hero’s….

@Hydra_Spectre I was just thinking of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 too. However, I would say in Tears of the Kingdom, this gotcha mechanic looks out of place. I don’t really think the Zonai did that for new products I hope. At least in Xenoblade, there was a story reason whether you liked the mechanic or not.

@Dom_31 Actually….as someone who has had the 8bitdos, all forms of split “pro controller”-like joycon replacements, multiple joycons and pro controllers…….the Hori Split Pad Compact/Slim is the one I use for portable gaming. Sure, you miss out the amiibo functionality, gyro, Bluetooth and vibration, but for attached joycon style portable gaming, these are the one I use. I find it the most comfortable in my hands for long play sessions without giving up too much of everything else. I play in bed before sleep so I don’t need to be swinging my Switch around. That said, I wouldn’t recommend any joy-con replacements without gyro for TOTK.

As for the pro controller, I ditched that thing for the 8bitdo Ultimate for a while now… it puts the pro to shame.

A) Do we know if the original dev team departed Retro Studios on good terms? There seems there was an exodus after the trilogy… just saying.

B) Food for thought: Imagine Metroid being updated for the 6th time for a future 16K system. How long will the credits be? 🤣🤣

@Captain-N word has it the next console will be backwards compatible…. Here’s to hoping 😉

@Waluigi451 Folders…..how far we have fallen since the 3DS 😂

There are reasons why Nintendo won’t give us unlimited free plays from now on.

Just you watch. Badge Arcade will launch on the Switch in this summer direct. 🤣🤣🤣

@Almighty-Koz Exactly, that’s what’s I have experienced. Gone against a team with 2 krakens, we were dead right from the get go. Nothing could stop them.

@GogGogGogGog The problem is that the Stamp was like the Kraken initially until we all found the weak points. The Kraken just seems invincible (edit a la Dragnoran).

The Kraken needs to be nuked.

I am not worried about missing out on this game. I am sure Nintendo will HD it for the next Gen Switch like Miitopia at full price when they run out of games to remaster 😉

@Anti-Matter ARMS has some awesome design and would make for a great theme park. Just not sure if the IP is dead for now from Nintendo’s viewpoint. Not sure if there will be an ARMS 2.

The artbooks are amazing. But since Splatoon 2, it looks like their artbooks will be missing any expansion content. Wish they would either release them separately or an updated version.

Why is it chibi when all the other atelier games aren’t? 🧐

@KalamStrifeVII If TOTK is really 90 CAD, I hope this is a one-off cause it’s BOTW’s sequel. But if Nintendo apply the increased price tag to every upcoming major new game, I am certain software sales will go down across the board.

I was considering but didn’t get any Mario sports game, and I am glad given how lacking they are. If they were launched with the increased price, they would be DOA for me. I just don’t like Mario that much. 😝😝

Even with the EULA, shouldn’t a legal arbitration between joy con owners and Nintendo be conducted? When was that?

@SlowPokemon Congrats! Yes you have. But for majority of players, it was about rushing to gain millions of bells through the online turnip market, completing their catalogue with Nookazon and time travel just so they can design their dream islands.

If it isn’t for that, not as many would have gotten bored even with the 2.0 update and moan about the lack of furnitures and stuff to do. Everyone rushed to the end and forgot ACNH is much about the journey.

With the rise of Treasure Islands, the content creation community tried modding as a way to keep making content to only get the Big N after some of them. With the “hard’ more, they have found a new way to create a continuous stream of new content… when they could have just played the game as it was designed from the get go.

But then how would one create all those design videos to showcase all the themes everyone was making? 😁

Nuke those damn paint brushes. Connection speed can be awful sometime. There is no way to out ink attack the opposing team if they’re keep swiping you with their paint brushes knowing you can response fast enough.

What’s with the venom some have for Kit and Krysta?

Or YouTubers you may not follow in general? Seems like some are still stuck in the Gamergate era or something.

Just as there are as many YouTube channels, there are as many different Nintendo focused YouTubers catering to different segments of the gaming community. Just because some didn’t resonate with you does not mean they didn’t with others. There are definitely some YouTubers I never got the appeal of with huge followings, and there are those I have been a loyal fan since I first came across of them even if they have only thousands of followers.

We are all speculating here why Nintendo decided to shelf some of the Nintendo Minute videos. Who knows? It could purely be about how the company didn’t like something an interviewee said, or a game they want to erase from public consciousness.

Trashing anyone just cause only shows who you really are.

Aren’t the Pokémon sized as they are supposed to be in the Pokémon world? If not, yes, please make them bigger, 😌

And please update any localization errors…there are some wrong colors names in the clothings shops making it hard to shop considering previews aren’t load a lot of times.

Did they change anything? It looks exactly the same as Splatoon 2. It’s a good one nonetheless. 😌

Yuji Naka is only arrested, not charged or found guilty. He could be just a person of interest.

@alexybubble I wouldn’t say Best Family represents the best Nintendo/Nintendo related game, as XC3, and Bayonetta aren’t on the list for being too mature 😉

Here is hoping XC3 win the Best RPG award of the year at least, especially when Live A Live is a remake, Triangle Strategy is a little too niche, LOA as being half baked, and Elden Ring for being too “big” for the category.

But then they may have slotted Elden Ring for Best RPG as a consolation award for not winning Best GOTY, which will go to God of War or Horizons.

Wait… where is Charzard in the pic? Did Ash get rid of him from his team? 🥲

@fenlix It is likely money, and more importantly power, control and influence. Having made Disco Elysium, the creators now earned their badge as bonifide top tier game developers in their own right with, or without the company. This sort of thing often lead to conflicts with employers, pay and ownership of the game and intellectual property etc.

Hope this will sort out without too much bad blood being spilled all around. The courts will deal with it.

*****

As an aside, I would like to be informed of these issues. As a gamer, I would like to know my monetary support to a game isn’t being abused and going to assist deserving game creators and developers.

What really baffles me is how people are so easily to dismiss a VA because they aren’t their “A-Tier” as to believe a journalist based solely on reputation.

Until we get the actual facts, and not just hearsay “receipts” from both parities, we don’t know what really went on. And as I said above, neither sides will hold up in court.

@Tangerine Actually, we still don’t know the facts. What Jennifer Hale stated (and now supported by Platinum) speaks nothing of the actual situation.

This isn’t cancel culture. And to assume that one side is “right” at this time is just as biased. Neither side has provided evidence to support their claims. They will both loose in court.

The most recent NMS update just came out yesterday. It has resolved some of the graphic issues I had since launch. I am sure DF was analyzing an earlier build given the timing.

The developers have been very responsive to Switch issues I have reported. I hope they continue to work out the kinks. Perhaps DF can do another analysis further down.

@nintendolife how come there isn’t a choice to vote “no, I am not getting the game either way?”

@WallyWest I have been to many stations, just couldn’t talk to those people for some strange reasons in the stands. Haha

@5th313ment haha I guess I have been trying to find a paradise planet for my first base that I haven’t really followed the story yet 😉 but I guess I will do that now.

@Draxa The textures don’t bother me really. It just shocks me once in a while when I get to see the full textures pop up. Handheld has been a great experience. I do feel like I am playing Star Trek jumping from one system to another. I have quite a collection of exotic companions now. I wish there will be cross-saves at some point. These are the few times I really can see how a Switch 2/pro can further enhance a really good game.

Am I the only one finding that texture details rarely render at 100%?

It’s a great game so far. Actually, I would put this right up there with Animal Crossing for those who like “cozy games” if you played in creative mode or “very chilled” settings.

@WallyWest Thanks for the reminder. That’s true of the exosuit. I don’t suppose my squadron and ships are immune too? Though I may not die, I wouldn’t want to be too slow and weak during fights.

I haven’t seen those stands with the maps you mentioned by the Portals. Are there conditions I have to meet? Thanks!

So could someone tell me what just happened? I purchased the launch version and updated to 4.02 yesterday, and now hell broke loose.

Most of my exosuit upgrades are removed to only 14 of them. Are we supposed to update our exosuit every time there is a change in weather or environmental change?

That’s not exactly what I want to be doing when I play creative…

@Malakhim24 I do miss Warcraft and StarCraft. How’s Overwatch 2? I haven’t played much of it, Splatoon is keeping me busy.
