I've played moments of seasons. After playing Minish Cap, Flagship, Capcom's old subsidiary must've gotten a good amount of trust to have 4 Zelda games given to them.

I'm looking forward to play these games and I'll get to them after I'm done with ToTK. They're the last single player mainline games I have yet to sink my teeth into. I know folks wanted them remade but I wanted to play them in sprite form and we're due for an original 2d Zelda experience maybe from Grezzo. akin to Metroid Dread and Mario Wonder.

I wonder if this is what Jeff Grub was talking when he heard that more Zelda content was coming in the year.

Xenoblade 3 took a lot of wins and deserved. Tears of the Kingdom and Xenoblade 3 bring that company up a thousand fold.

So Kirbys dream buffet was just a blimp? Honestly though, they coexisted fine before.

Maybe we'll hear news about the 3rd movie.

@RareFan Except for Spirit Tracks if you aren't counting the spin offs.

@Grandiajet Ubisoft worked on it?

If we're lucky. Metroid being a spoof of Alien then the potential serves.

Also, Zippo was right about the 2d Mario game just like he was about Dread.

I know many folks wanted Odyssey 2 or the next 3d Mario but I was interested for the next 2d Mario installment all this time. And Mario Wonder, which does not look like another NSMB game, not a maker but a brand new 2d game on its own right.

I'm curious, could it be Super Princess Peach 2?

They're letting Zelda and Pikmin carry the season, they have nothing left to show they said. Well so much for the next half going dry.

Ya know? Star Fox Grand Prix might've actually had more potential at the time than it sounded. Just an on rail shooter with a race to the finish aspect to it. Having the planets be designed to look more like race tracks. Include a roster of characters throughout the series. Include online multiplayer.

@Thief What everyone deluded themselves into thinking is that comedy/light hearted/whimsy can't also be for adults or that horror/grit/and depth can't be for kids either. Or acting like Zelda's tone hasn't had all of them.

Yeah, Donkey Kong would be next because its next in line for the theme park and they already have the character designs, voices, setting, and art direction. Zelda could be done with a different Universal Studio or Nintendo Pictures.

Sonic and Metroid get 2d games finally. When are Mario and Zelda getting an actual new 2d game. One that isn't remakes like Links Awakenings, rehashes like NSMB or makers?

I get having more going on can be overwhelming. That being said, all the busy work and the expanding of Hyrule on top of the new ways to traverse. All that is saving this game from being written off as glorified DLC it was conceptually or just rehashing and riding Breath of the Wilds coat tails. Any attempt at Tears of the Kingdom being unique as far as the world was concerned was a risk of going its own route. Much like Majora's Mask did with Ocarina of Time.

I wanted a new map with reused assets long before TOTK was even announced. Now that they brought back but put twists on it. I’m willing to see it here also because they might be deepening the story. However I don’t think I’d react well if they reuse this Hyrule for a 3rd time in a row. If they do use this Hyrule again. Maybe changing the aesthetic.

I really feel more then ever for a different land. The reimaginings of Hyrule are nice like in Sky Wind and Tears but Termina, Koholint, STs Neo Hyrule, Oracles Holodrum and Labryna.
A Zelda game doesn’t need Hyrule to be good but the games that didn’t could be breaths of fresh air.

@Rinyuu But yeah, if that were it and it was the best they're doing then yeah. I would worry.

@Rinyuu I don't think about the mainline 2d Metroid series going away while they develop the 3d games.

I don't think of collaborations with Ubisoft as a worse effort then what the Wii U gave us.

I don't think about buying the same games that I've owned already on other systems VC nor didn't own on past consoles. Nor do I think about Mario Kart 8 DLC, mobile and Mario Kart AR being matter. And FYI, their stock rose when those came out.

@Rinyuu Regarding Reboots
Metroid Dread, partnering with Ubisoft by including Star Fox in Starlink? (even if that didn't interest me) and Mario Kart 8 DLC or the AR kart. Tell me how that isn't doing what they could've done.
Decent online experience/virtual console?
Having most games from every Nintendo system the NES to GBA and even a Sega system on top of throwing in DLC form many modern gaming? Compare that to the Wii U and 3ds era

I'll admit the Switch has had its off years, what console hasn't. But being the best selling Nintendo system in years, software being pushed left and right. The switch elevating their software both their big guns and smaller names commercially and financially.

The beginning of a theme park empire and movie industyry. Come on. if that's trash, I'd love to know what them being gold is.

@abbyhitter Miyamoto buys his own games.

I hope nobody has thoughts of Game of Thrones as a style or adaptation choice for the series. If any series goes that route, its Fire Emblem. Regarding Patricia Summerset, I don't have ToTK yet. I anticipate her performance. If this is the last time we see this Zelda in this Hyrule. Then I wonder about the future of Voice acting.

@KingBowser Well Sakamoto wants a Metroid Movie someday much like Aonuma would advocate for Zelda.

@fenlix You never know. Maybe Nintendo pictures does.

@GravyTrayn Link having Ganon's voice? (VA) and Matt Mercer playing both the hero and villain? Quite the thoughts.

@Rambler recently awhile ago.

You mean the kind of backlash we had about Detective Pikachu, Sonic, and Mario pre premier and let go of post premier. Though I guess the skepticism was kind of warranted given video game movie's track records before.

@PikaPhantom They had plenty of dialogue if you take the other media. The DIC shows, DK's 80s and 2000s show. Like its not like Nintendo's characters haven't been represented in different art forms before the Mario Movie.

@Rambler Like they gave Mario and company their game actors?

Edit: They've given them personalities already. Since Wind Waker, in the manga, the cartoon. None of that is new.

I've said each time this was brought up. Zelda and Metroid keep being brought up as potential candidates because they've had movie DNA in early years. Several of their games are based off movies like Lord of the Rings and Alien. And even if they're only semi story driven, they are known for having world building, elements, lore, material.

Also think from an ironic perspective. Mario, Pokemon, and Sonic, each silly series featuring little mascots can be made into movies and prove themselves and find success as movies. Yet the more sophisticated properties like Zelda and Metroid which have movie DNA in them haven't even got a chance.

We already knew about that. They said they were working before and it would be dumb of Nintendo to drop them from the project.

@Jalex__64 @arabiansanchez Its only been one month. Sales were for end of March and the remaster came out at the middle of February. That's actually pretty impressive for Metroid but yeah, by other IP remaster standards. Links Awakenings remake hit 3 mil in a fraction of that time.

Sonics Metroid Dread moment

I figure the girls are going to get the highest votes. Its the same way in the Japan too. Aonuma favors Mipha while Fujibayashi favors Urbosa. Which I get, the gerudo desert and Zora's domain get the most story of the 4 realms. And their champions have a high relationship with Link and Zelda.

@FirstEmperor No that would be the Mario OVA, the great mission to rescue princess peach. back in 1986, it like Animal Crossing also didn't release outside of Japan.

I want to play but I’m still working on FE Engage and Minish Cap. I’m probably going to be on this and Tears of the kingdom with split time.

This story really didn't age well. In 2021 or 2022

They’ll follow what inspires them. Hopefully they really think about how they approach.

@alexw What about anime

@Eggolor One reason for taking a different group for other IP is because Universal's divisions and subsidiaries are diverse in specialties and styles. Much like Nintendo, their IP and studios specialize in different genres in gameplay, tones in story, and designs in visuals. They might see Illumination working for Mario since that universe has always been fun and silly but might feel someone else in Universal might be better for tackling something serious. And the last thing they want is to screw up their brand. That's why Miyamoto was on the project with Illumination, he didn't just give them the keys. Maybe other game directors will work with whatever studios. Maybe Aonuma gets a say and works with whatever universal studio does Zelda. Them or Nintendo Pictures

@AtlanteanMan I don't know about Halo but regarding Metroid and Samus. They aren't in the same boat. Link is a collection of characters with different designs and origins, Samus is a continuous hero inspired by Alien's Ellen Rippley, a movie character.

Regarding Other M itself, was Samus writing, voice, and characterization rejected because of the concept or execution? Cause looking beyond on what she already had in prior games and material and now dread which seemed to go over fine tells me it was the latter. I just considered that if they never attempted to explore Samus or the Chief, keeping them as they were in their first game, faceless soldiers that do nothing but shoot stuff and nothing else.Then they might've stagnated, and fallen out of favor over time. And If they really wanted Samus or Master chief to work as true avatars, they probably shouldn't of made them human characters in suits with origins to begin with.

It’s tricky. My first Zelda game being Wind Waker. The game where Link was probably the most expressive, saying “cmon”. Or his text dialogue in Awakening or Zelda 2. They made sense because it was how the player would react.

In TOTK, I’d like them to use the dialogue options when cutscenes more especially now that they’re voiced. Except in other media like Shows, Mangas and Movies have different rules. Where they have to consider what works for them. If Link talking in them then so be it.

@Varkster Nintendo had main voice acting in their games long before FE or XB. Since the mid 90s. Its just some series started later then others.

You ought to post this poll after Tears of the Kingdom comes out. So we can find out about him.

First Link and now Ganondorf getting the. This isn't new with Ganon, he's always been beefy. We're just now seeing skin exposure. Nevertheless, both Link and Ganondorf earned their spots on that watchmojo 10 sexiest Zelda characters list.

Where in Seattle and when in September is the important question

My town huh? Where in Seattle though, the Seattle Center or the Convention Center?

Happy easter Nintendolife

@RiasGremory Either her parents and the chozo being the opening before the mission or their being depicted through flashbacks. Either way the manga material being integrated in appropriate moments keeps everyone on their toes.
