@TeamRocket47 - I didn't think it was that hard, personally, but I use computers and stuff a lot so. Depending on your experience you may find it more difficult. I recommend the website 3ds.hacks.guide and using the 2020 webhax method.

The 3DS is my first console, and also my first taste of video games in general, and I loved it. And still do. Unfortunately my circle pad broke, So I haven't been playing most of the great games on there recently, but I still like the system a lot.

May I also mention. The 3DS becomes even more interesting and powerful if you can mod it. I didn't dare to until recently, but when it was officially discontinued, I was like, "It's time." The biggest benefit is that you can rip games from cartridges and emulate them, and it's perfectly legal if you do it that way with your own games. There's also a number of very interesting tools you can install. It's a great way to breathe a lot of new life into an already great system.

I sorta get all the complaints... And I wouldn't buy it on the Switch anyway, PC is the way to go for this game. But I'm happy that people can play it on Switch now, if they want to. It looks like a great game.

I'll probably get it on Steam, with the RTX features. Looks awesome!

@gojiguy - Perhaps that indicates that it's not an issue. I'll be getting on Steam either way, cuz the PC version supports ray-tracing shadows/reflections.

I mean, I'm all for good relationships between big companies. But Nintendo kinda protects their ecosystem a whole lot, so I don't really see them sharing what Microsoft would want (i.e. titles), which is probably what the issue is. Nintendo's happy to run Microsoft games on the Switch, but isn't eager to share theirs the other way. And I don't really blame them.

Everyone else has made great points, so I'll keep it simple. Nintendo is simply good at what they do. Sure, only about every other console of theirs is a hit for the most part, but even then their games have always been among the highest of quality. They're good at being different and making video game that people WANT to play. They continue to have my full support going forward. 😄

I've never heard of this but am now intrigued. Don't... judge... me... but I'm going to see if it's on Steam. Bc.

As has been already said, Sakurai specifically said they've already been chosen, so.

Aw, that's awesome. 😄

Considering that Nintendo's sort of wanted to be a mobile developer for a while now, like most Asian game companies, I can see this happening. I can even imagine the Switch being given a camera and SIM card compatibly, as weird as that sounds.

I guess it just comes down to whether Nintendo is crazy enough. And we all know Nintendo has done weirder.

@yuwarite - Eh... Not necessarily. The presence of a few less serious characters doesn't imply an overall less serious story. This game is already plenty grim story premise-wise, if you think about it.

Personally, I'm happy to have good variety between characters' personalities.

@Ghostchip - As a fellow huge Kirby fan, I was kinda disappointed by Star Allies. I beat the whole story mode in the period of probably less than 6 hours, and that's with some generous rounding. The fact that you can make three helpers makes it incredibly easy to just storm through the levels, and it's impossible to finish them without making helpers... As in like they require you to make them to progress. It wasn't bad but I enjoyed Triple Deluxe and Super Star Ultra far better.

My point being, I think this would be a better purchase.

@Valhalla91 - That'll be a good way to disappoint yourself. The story in BotW is nowhere near as engaging or fleshed out as this is looking like it'll be.

Looks appropriately atmospheric as heck. Will consider getting it for sure.

12/15, I play Minecraft pretty regularly but was confused by a couple of the more obscure details, like Steve's height.

As I said when this was first announced: Firstly, "WTH", secondly, "Leave it to Nintendo to do something like this. Only Nintendo..." They really do love their gimics

It looks fun and even perhaps cool, but I predict this will be a fail because of the price. I'm not paying $100 for an RC car, as much as I love Mario Kart.

I'm a 100% getting it, bc I never had a Wii U and therefore didn't play much of the original. And I loved 3D Land (one of the three Mario games I've completely maxed out) so I'm sure I'm gonna love this one.

...huh.

That's pretty neat.

I think it's gonna be awesome. The store page for the game says "dozens of cutscenes" so it's absolutely gonna have a lot of story. I'm interested to see how it works with the gameplay.

This is glorious.

@Panopticon - I probably shall as well. I'd like to see how story focused it will be.

@SalvorHardin - I don't think people legitimately aren't questioning it. The limited availability for the Mario collection was a really weird move for sure, but that's no reason not to get it if you want to play it. I sometimes like to just let people wallow in their own stupidity. They'll get smacked awake eventually.

@LArachelDisciple - That's an interesting take on it. Most people are like "yes BoTW" and "no Hyrule Warriors" but you're the other way around on it XD

Okay, so I was sitting there doing school work and one of my friends linked me the YouTube video for the trailer. I'm like, "Oh, that looks interesting! It's obviously just some DLC for Hyrule Warriors on the Switch." And I thought it looked cool, but as I had the 3DS version and bought all the DLC for it, I never intended to buy Hyrule Warriors definitive edition, and although this looked cool, it wasn't enough to sway me.

Then, out of pure curiosity, I decided to watch the 6-minute full announcement as it was auto-suggested below. And that was when I got excited, because that video explains that this is a fully Nintendo-involved, almost definitely canon game. Hyrule Warriors gameplay-wise, but much more story involved than the original. And not only that, but its own separate title. And that was what convinced me.

Will try to get this on release if I can. Very much stoked to play it.

@SegaBlueSky - I mean, I only played the first Hyrule Warriors because it was Zelda, not because I like combat games. I enjoyed it though, and considering that this is a combination of that and a prequel of Breath of the Wild, I'm almost 100% getting it.

@russell-marlow - I mean, there's no way to 100% tell for sure beforehand, but it looks to me as though (and if you listen to what they said carefully in the full announcement trailer, the six minute one) The story of howt this came about is from them wanting to tell the story of what happens before Breath of the Wild, and realizing that it would fit the Warriors gameplay formula pretty well. So expect Warriors gameplay, but considering how much new cutscene clips there were in the trailer I'm guessing that they added a lot a lot of story to this.

Just my take on it.

@SegaBlueSky - They're 100% combat-based. But this one looks like it's also really story-based too, so. Take that as you will.

@Panopticon - considering how closely they said they worked with Nintendo for this game, I'm 100% sure it's canon. And as I said over on Zelda Dungeon, This is a breath of the wild game with Hyrule Warrior mechanics, not just another Hyrule Warriors game.

@Fantasia - I'm 100% sure that this one will be canon.

I'ma give my thoughts on all this real quick.

1st off, liked the direct. Was a huge surprise to get home to.

The All-Stars looks cool, although as has been said, I wish Galaxy 2 was in it. Maybe they'll add it as DLC too. And I'm fairly sure the limited release is physical only, there's no reason whatsoever they'd limit it digitally. I could be wrong tho, only watched the Direct once.

I loved 3D Land a lot and have been absolutely dying to play 3D World. I am in all honesty more excited for it than anything announced in the whole Direct. Plus a mysterious expansion...

Lastly, leave it to Nintendo to come up with something as quirky as that Mario Kart AR game. Strikes me as one of their products that looks iffy but also surprisingly fun. It's the exact sort of thing that Nintendo and only Nintendo would ever try.

So I'm happy about all this! It was an awesome announcement. In conclusion I'm definitely buying 3D World and maybe the All-Stars as well. Have yet to play Sunshine and Galaxy, so.

Thx Nintendo!

I have wanted to play Super Mario 3D World for SO LONG, so I was arguably more excited for that than I was for the All-Stars. I loved Super Mario 3D Land (one of the three Mario games I've fully maxxed-out) and have been absolutely dying to play this next one. This article is interesting, I didn't notice, but am not against it being faster. Is an interesting change to say the least.

And they said they have more to announce about it too, if you read the full description on their store page, so am even more hyped.

#tanookimariogang

This is interesting, but it makes sense as something that will happen anyway. I'm personally betting that they're planning to release it on the same date as they did the original Breath of the Wild, on March 7th.

@Apportal - I highly doubt this is the best they can and will be doing for the anniversary.

Dang, those look cool. Altho if that first one doesn't include motion how are you going to be able to solve those shrines in BotW containing apparatus? There isn't any other way to manipulate those things.

Holy crap. If this is real I'll get it, that's one of the ones I haven't played yet.

That's cool, but most products out-do past products with time. I doubt anybody is arguing that the Switch is better than the NES.

Nintendo has got about every other console to be a hit, and the Switch is one of their biggest ones yet. With the exception of perhaps the Wii, I would say it's more unique than any of the others as well.

As long as they can continue a supply of great software, it will continue to grow. I'm looking forward to seeing it do so.

@Moonlessky - Being rather experienced in how the game works, I never thought it might seem intimidating to outsiders. I don't think it's that complex to start, give it a try.

@Bermanator - Mojang's not in fact ignoreing the community and not fixing bugs. I haven't heard of the one you're referring to but rest assured they'll get to it eventually if they're not already working on it. They're not the kind to slouch off on these.

@Jokerwolf - I suppose it could look like that if you don't play it, but they're actually inspired by another mob that's been in the game for a while, as in from the early versions a while. I wouldn't be surprised to hear they took inspiration, but I think in this case they're just expanding off of something they already had.

Also, this is my first comment on here! Glad to now be a part of this community!
