I could not play through Shadow Temple in OOT as a child. I was scared of a lot in OOT, the Shadow Temple was just too much for me. Somehow I did do the well. I don't know how. lol. I had to turn down the volume because the music in the creepier dungeons was so scary for me as well.

Needless to say, I am not one for horror, not even as an adult. OOT doesn't scare me anymore, but if a new Zelda with the better technology goes back down that road I'm not going to like it. Like TP's Arbiter Grounds terrified me and still would.

I haven't signed up and I don't really see anything ever happening that could justify paying such a high price every month. I really just want to be able to buy N64 games individually like on every system since the Wii. I don't want to pay a whole bunch of money monthly to keep what I should be able to purchase individually.

I loved A Wonderful Life and Another Wonderful Life, but... why does this game look so cheaply done? It makes Pokemon Sword/Shield look like a graphical masterpiece. lol

The most important thing to me is that they keep with this style of more 'open' levels like Odyssey, 64 and Sunshine and not go back to Galaxy style. They can go with Odyssey 2 or a new theme, I don't mind... Just do not give us the linear levels of Galaxy series ever again unless it's a completely separate series that does not effect the main series.

Easily my favorite Pokémon for this generation revealed so far. But there’s something more saddening than terrifying about the ghost of a loving dog that sucks the life energy out of everyone it tries to get close to.

@Ventilator Yeah, Immortals Fenyx Rising was obviously strongly inspired by BOTW. The fact that it was developed by the development team of Assassin's Creed Odyssey is also evident. I don't say that just because of them both dealing with ancient Greece in one way or another.

I didn't finish the game for whatever reason but came close. I need to get back to it and finish it! It was fun.

As terrifying as that Luigi may be, it's actually a darn good cosplay.

Ugh that trailer was grating. So many here commenting that this makes them want voice acting. It makes me think the very opposite and be glad we don't have voice acting. lol

Hm... We'll see. I was waiting on getting a new PC to get P4G on it due to the current PC being a Windows 7 PC (Windows 8 or later is required to run it on Steam). I recently got my new PC and now have the option to buy it. I'm just deciding on getting it on PC sooner or waiting a little while longer and getting it on Switch.

I might get it someday. I played P5 on the PS4 several years ago, but (and I'm pretty sure I said this on this very site years ago lol) I said that I might pick up Royal if it comes to the Switch because it'd be nice to have it portable and then experience the new content.

Still, the other Personas are first on the list for me as I've never played them before.

Comparing that to Link's Awakening HD is inaccurate. You're setting up viewers for disappointment.

I don't like violent games, but I do love history and although these are fictional and make alterations, the idea of getting to visualize historical locations in an open world format is really neat. So... I tried Odyssey and enjoyed it a whole lot. I now have Valhalla and am enjoying it.

I don't think I'll play the whole series, though. Valhalla has some nice violence-reduction options like NOT showing beheading which I certainly have used.

I think one thing that draws me to Odyssey and Valhalla is that they are less like the originals, which are very stealth-based from my understanding. I suck at stealth, so... lol.

Nothing much here for me aside from Zelda:ToK. Nevertheless, it looks like it was a great Direct.

I suppose I don’t have many expectations. I always want a return of Golden Sun, but it’s clear that Camelot has been working only on Mario sports titles.

I could also go for an Okami sequel and a new Ace Attorney. I don’t figure they’ll be shown here, though.

I think BOTW2 is almost guaranteed a showing and I look forward to that.

I can tell you what I really don’t want to see, and that’s Zelda ports.

@Grumblevolcano That hasn't often been how it's worked, though. The vast majority of mainline Pokemon game news has been in its own presentations since Nintendo Directs began.

They always release them right at the beginning of my workshift. =( I could watch it on my break, but it hogs up a lot of data to watch even one short video with my phone data plan. >.<

Just post it an hour earlier and I'd be happy! lol

Hey, that's a wind ensemble, not an orchestra! Neat! A little confused by the clarinet doing the tuning note, as that's traditionally the oboe's role. Anyway, this is neat.

Yayyy! I've been asking for a Persona 4 Golden port for years. Sadly, if it's coming next year I'll most likely get my new PC long before then and just purchase it on Steam.

I have called out every post acting like Persona 5 being absent from the Switch was a mystery, but now there is full reasoning to claim this. Beforehand the main series was almost entirely Sony exclusive with a PC release here or there, but now it's on Microsoft consoles... and not Nintendo? That's undeniably frustrating.

What's the deal Atlus?

I'll be waiting for more information. Like with Sw/Sh I was Sword until Galarian Ponyta was revealed, then I went with Shield. (even though Zacian is my favorite legendary ever. T.T)

Hard to believe this is still a thing. Almost everyone I know stopped playing it before 2016 ended.

Lechonk is cute in its own little way.

Not really feeling these legendaries, but that's okay, I love last gen's Zacian and Zamazenta a lot, so I'm happy. lol

@Acein210 Technically, yes, but you have missed my point entirely.

Nah. I don't personally fly any American flags or associate myself with that anymore after the past decade or so of what it has come to stand for. So a console with it would not be enticing. Perhaps give me one with individual states I like, like MA, NY, RI, CT, ME, WA, OR, etc.

I was already going to buy it. The trailer didn't really change my opinion one way or another.

That's exactly when my shift starts, and due to data limits on my phone I probably won't be able to watch it until I get home. T.T Better unfollow the Pokemon Reddit before tomorrow lol.

It's a shame that BD/SP sold so well. SMH.

@Silly_G I appreciate your answer, but that isn't a concern for me. I can't even tell the difference, to be honest. Are there any other reasons you could think of to download this? I think I was thinking more if it has tracks that the iTunes OST does not.

Curious if I should download this when I already have the D/P OST from iTunes?

Okami! Only very recently got to play it for the first time back in 2018. Would love to see more!

Remember in the last comment section when I joked that if a Fairly Odd Parents character was added it would be Timmy's dad and not any of the main cast?

Well, that just happened for Jimmy Neutron. Lol. I was kinda joking, but this just proved my point. That's probably what would happen.

That's disappointing.

@Gamergirl94 Really? No Fairly Odd Parents characters in the game? That's an odd omission.

Knowing the character choices in this game, I wouldn't be surprised if we got Timmy's dad as a character and none of the main cast. LOL.

Poor Golden Sun. It might make it to NSO, but that's not really of much significance. I just don't know why they had to take so many missteps with it. It was very popular back when I was in middle school, but then it dropped off the face of the planet for years.

Okay, but how about releasing them in a more accessible format?

Edit: Just realized that the OSTs are on Spotify. Awesome. Ignore my complaint.

@nowthisisepic What I'm saying is that I don't think there is a gap that needs to be filled. I just see it as a made-up concept for NL and others to ask for more ports.

Is there really a "gap" that needs to be filled? Most certainly not by more overpriced remastered ports (or in the case of WWHD and TPHD just straight ports).

Let me put it this way: When BOTW was released, I was not inclined to get a Switch for it, when I already had a Wii U.

I likely would do the same again in this scenario and stick with my Switch, unless the new hardware came with amazing exclusives. That's the thing. Switch did not have a single exclusive of interest for me until Odyssey, so I didn't need it for a while.

My opinion is that I'm not really hyped about this. It's most likely a long way out, but also the graphics are weird. I understand making Sora, Riku and the other original to KH characters fit in with the modern FF style, but the actual environments scream that trying to hard to look realistic but not doing a very good job at it.

KH3 was a very beautiful game visually. I was always impressed with the Toy Story world from the second it was announced. They really should stick with that Pixar look and not try to go all photo-realistic here, it doesn't work with KH, nor does this style really work at all with the way they've done it IMO.

Not to say I'm hating on the game, though. I've been playing the series since 2004 and will likely always want to play a new entry (unless they do something too drastic with it, or turn it into Star Wars and Marvel collaborations. Ugh). I just am not feeling too excited from this initial trailer. I do, however, look forward to more info in the future.

@eaglebob345 They have always said the series would continue after KH3, just with a new saga. In fact, this setting was originally shown in a "secret" (IIRC) trailer at the end of KH3.

@RubyCarbuncle I never said "challenging". I mean when I said I steamrolled it's not that I really wanted difficulty persay, it's that I didn't want to one-shot the champion's signature Pokemon as that takes away from the experience.

In all truth, I don't play games to be stressed out, so I don't like difficulty. But there is still a base level, which isn't really challenging at all but at least feels "involved" and yet because of the balancing issues created by Exp Share being forced on me and me wanting to explore the Wild Area, it went below that.

Steamrolling over the rival and champion was a mockery of the very story. The rival was at least supposed to put up at least a little bit of a fight after his character development. It all made me feel like my trainer was just a terrible person that curbstomped his dreams that we saw were so important to him like nothing.

@RubyCarbuncle What's baffling is why it can't just be an option like it was in Gen VI and VII. It's just bad game design to be forced.

In Shield, I felt punished for taking my time to enjoy the game and spending a lot of time in the Wild Area. Because the more time I spent in Wild Area, the more my Pokemon leveled up, beyond my control. This messed me up at the end of the story when I steamrolled over the rival and champion. It just felt...wrong.

I know that Sw/Sh allow you to switch out Pokemon easily, but before anyone says that... I tried to do that to the best of my ability. However, even when I was trying my best, I kept one strong Pokemon in my team to keep me from blacking out. That Pokemon became massively overleveled and pretty much handled the champion all by itself.

It's one thing when you have an old style Pokemon game like BD/SP, but when you have a game with open areas that you want to explore, Exp Share can really mess with the balancing. I don't want to be punished for exploring and enjoying the game.

I want a good post-game that isn't just a battle facility. Those really do nothing for me. I want new areas to explore and extra story.

I got Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, finally! So I'm playing that.

Dang. But it was too good to be true to have BOTW2 and the next generation of Pokemon so close together. The year is still looking way better than anything Switch year before.

Is there a big difference between the two? I didn't even know. Interesting.

I enjoyed Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8/Deluxe a lot more. I can't say that Mario Kart Double Dash!! ever really did it for me. I will say that it has some really fun tracks that I've enjoyed translated into Wii and 8.

You all, I just want to note that for the very first time ever I actually feel "overwhelmed" with the Switch's new releases. Pokemon Legends Arceus, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, and the new Kirby, it's so much! I've never had so much content to play in such a short amount of time!

Bravo to Nintendo!

The Switch version "coincidentally" takes the top spot. Lol. Okay, but it does look really good and I hope that it delivers when I get to play it! =) (haven't found a Kirby game to be too enjoyable aside from Kirby 64, largely because the 2D visuals were just boring to me. Shallow, I know)

I will, but not yet. I'm still playing Arceus.
