I agree that Fusion is the best. People exaggerate the linearity. It's really not that more linear than others. In Super you still have to "go here and do that", there's just more guidance in Fusion. If you were to ignore the guidance and just think "I can open these doors now" a la Super, it wouldn't feel more linear. There's still plenty of freedom of exploration in Fusion even with the guidance. And it's important to note that there's a story reason for the guidance.

Better music. Some tracks are good but most are just obnoxious, bombastic and totally out of step with the mood of the story events.

Can we please get an article describing the motion controls? Are they as good as wii sports? Is hook, slice, spin all controlled via your motion? Noone is writing about this!

This game is so good

@ThomasCasson Most people would just let friends use it for free or spread the cost equally so everyone pays the minimum. If you want to profit off your friends, go for it.

I dub this week "the week of moderating expectations"

@ThomasCasson You charge friends? And make a profit? Jesus Christ that's cold.

It's sad watching Nintendo rave about 100+ crappy old games from last century (with 5 or so gems) compared to Microsoft and Sony's online offerings.

Hopefully this will save a few people from wasting their money on this bad game

Nintendo really needs to hire better artists. That armour is a joke.

Good to see my boys boycotting Battlefront II (2017) are still keeping it below Battlefront (2015) and Jedi: Fallen Order. Good work, soldiers.

Man, this game is so good. I highly encourage anyone to get it if they have an appropriate console.

Breath of the Wild 2: The dungeons we held out of the first one

I wonder if this has something to do with the 12.0 system update that mysteriously didn't seem to do much?

I remember I once got @ThomasBW84 to say "Hello lovely people" in an E3 live chat

@Ajent relative absence

No thanks. The absence of EA is one of my favourite things about Nintendo consoles. Get kids addicted to gambling somewhere else.

This game would kill on the switch. They'd be fools not to put it there.

I find your lack of Star Wars Episode 1 Racer disturbing.

In the time it took Nintendo to release a few 30-year-old ROMs I've been able to play The Last of Us and Nioh (and more) with PS-plus. Yeah, I won't be coming back to Nintendo Online.

Oh and I'll take great pleasure in pirating the games. I've bought them multiple times before and Nintendo isn't offering anyway to play them legitimately now, so too bad for them.

I took great pleasure in cancelling my subscription. And I'm going to be very wary about ever coming back.

@Scollurio I don't know what news you're reading, but your view of Australia is way off. I would reassess what you're reading. The general trend you describe sounds like something someone on an obscure right-wing internet forum would say.

I went to buy this straight away but the price is a joke. $37AUD for 2 hours gameplay? Get real.

@Scollurio Australia has had a deeply conservative government since 2013, so you're way off. It's the christian conservatives that want to censor video games. The "leftists" here actually support the video game industry.

You don't get thanks for doing the bare minimum, Psyonix and Epic. Shame on you for bringing gambling mechanics to your game in the first place.

I really wanted to pick the Golden Deer but I just found that the Black Eagles had the most interesting mix of characters. You've got your foreign princess (Petra), your creepy guy (Hubert), your aloof genius (Linhardt), your arrogant elite (Ferdinand), your shy girl (Bernadetta), your enthusiastic kid (Caspar), and your hippie (Dorothea). They're all really different and it's fun to watch that play out.

I'm slowly making peace with their casting choices

This kind of thing is why I never buy ANY EA games.

Still waiting for that gyro

laaame

@KryptoKrunch It's free advertising because every YouTube channel that covers games (reviews, let's plays, discussions, theories) puts whatever game they cover into the mind of their viewers. So much of advertising is simply product awareness. When my favourite channel is talking about Shadow of the Colossus on ps4, I'm more likely to think "hey, I should get that game". So what if Nintendo has their own ads? The more exposure they get, the better.

A lot of my favourite YouTube channels (AngryJoeShow anyone?) straight-up refuse to cover Nintendo games because it's not a valuable use of their time. And, as a result, Nintendo is left out of the public discussion. This hurts Nintendo. It boggles the mind that Nintendo doesn't understand this.

Why does Nintendo hate free advertising?

Where are the Virtual Console games?

@Maxz Seconded for comment of the year. We need an award for this.

1. Ocarina of Time
2. Majora's Mask
3. The Legend of Zelda

The original still holds the title for most freedom in any video game.

We are ALL lovely people on this blessed day

I'm actually glad. It means more Zelda. We have to wait 4 years between console Zeldas, so this is good. If the Mario Kart 8 DLC is to go by, it should be exceptional. But pack #1 does currently sound like theft.

Well then, hey Thomas, how about not putting spoilers in the title? This info has huge story implications. I'm going to have to stop visiting NintendoLife altogether if you're happy putting spoilers on homepage titles.

"Eiji Aonuma Confirms Timeline Placement" would have been a better title. This info has huge story implications.

Hey NintendoLife, how bout not putting spoilers in the title?

What is this, a Socratic dialogue? Amirite folks?

Imagine if Nintendo left in the unique WiiU features and supported Switch's unique features. Both editions would be better, WiiU owners wouldn't get a gimped game and more people would be compelled to buy BOTH versions.

But no, Nintendo had to be morons and give everyone an equally worse experience.

I'd buy all the virtual console games if the WiiU emulator didn't have the brightness stuck on zero.

I think this will be the first game I actually care to 100%

Hey NintendoLife, can you guys please share the petition? You could give it huge exposure

@OorWullie @aaronsullivan
Of course he says those things. It's PR. Do you think he would ever say "yeah, we had to cut parts that took 5 years of work and the replacements we wrangled together in 8 months while developing for a second console just weren't quite as fleshed out." Of course not. He's doing PR.

Nintendo is ruthless in their pursuit of money. To think they pulled out core features after half a decade of development just so people would be less inclined to buy the WiiU version over the Switch. Astonishing. Aonuma must have been crushed, he had put more into this game than any other in Nintendo's history and they made him gimp it.

I just hope we get to choose which voice track we want. I'd like to choose the Japanese or Russian track and just pretend they're speaking Hylian.
