Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?

Frogspree

Not a chance. If I'm 100% honest, I'd be kind of relieved with an all digital Switch 2 so I can sit out the generation. I need time (and money) to catch up on my Switch collection. I'm lucky Microsoft and Sony have done absolutely nothing to make me want their systems.

Re: Pokémon Live-Action TV Series Gets Its First Trailer

Frogspree

Oh, I thought it was going to be a period piece set in the 90s. That would have been really interesting to watch, to see the early days of its popularity. Since Pokémon started in Japan and then went to America before arriving in the UK, it was pretty much a giant phenomenon before it even got here, with the game appearing at the same time as the cards, the anime, and a whole skip full of merch. Would have been cool to see how Japanese people reacted to it sight unseen, how word of mouth spread etc. Not really interested in seeing some 20 year old hipster playing a Game Boy Pocket in 2023

Re: Poll: Do You Prefer Zelda: Wind Waker HD's Bloom Lighting Or The "Flat" OG?

Frogspree

Obviously the original look. Bloom was a fad, and one that nintendo was characteristically late to. It looks like absolute trash and was especially egregious in WW, where it washed out the colourful art that was the game's whole appeal in the first place. I was very happy to see it die a well deserved death, but apparently ruining every game for an entire generation wasn't enough because it seems to be back with a vengeance in every HD2D game. Yaaaaay.

Re: Mailbox: Missing Zelda Ports, Nerd Rage, 16-Bit Blowback - Nintendo Life Letters

@Giancarlothomaz pretty sure we'll see them next year. It's the death throes of the switch and we are already seeing a lot of simple 2d games and remasters while all their big stuff gets saved for switch 2. Next year is clear of original Zelda stuff. The real question for me has always been how they will fit the two remasters into the same schedule as the two oracle remakes, given the limited time they have left, especially since I cannot see modern Nintendo releasing both oracles at the same time. I thought oracle remakes were an absolute no brainer given the engine and most assets were already made for link's awakening. But looking at grezzo's release history since then, it seems like they have been kept busy and I can't see when oracles could have been developed...

Re: Soapbox: FOMO Nearly Ruined Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom For Me

Frogspree

I don't see what changed, since you were obviously playing "at your own pace" in the first place. 25 hours in a few weeks? That would be very little playtime even for a casual gamer, nevermind someone whose whole job is playing the switch. I also have no idea what dungeon you're talking about, and apparently nobody else does either. You can only do this when there is a consensus on which dungeon is terrible, like the Water Temple in OoT (even if everyone is wrong about it).
