Finally some promotion! Better late then never. I'll probably only play part one of the demo, I have the game ordered anyway. However from the demo trailer the game looks a bit stiff (stiff animations). Was it also like this in the remakes of the nes games?
Anyway, am I wrong if I say this game still hasn't got a trailer?! Only that weird teaser and a bit of the creators talking and a few screenshots. I mean, I did order the game. But a little bit of trailer wouldn't be bad, Nintendo!
Really enjoying it so far (7 hours in). It starts out okay but gets better all the time. Game looks pretty sweet too. I'll definitely pick up this dlc someday.
He looks a bit like Beedle. Lol at the paraglider: Though this game wants to do something different, it borrows a lot from Botw and Totk. Wouldn't surprise me if this also means the end for traditional 2D Zelda. It does look interesting and I am sure it will be fun (loved Botw and Totk), but I am also a bit sad because of the (possible) loss of traditional 2D Zelda.
Always had a bit of doubt about the series (I am a catlover though), though the demo was really fun and good looking. If this series really is that good I might give it a try someday.
So in the end the teaser was just for a new Famicom detective club, though that's still interesting. This one seems especially dark, seeing as it gets a 18 rating. That they are making a new one must mean that the remakes where a succes?
Sadly I couldn't play the remakes since I wanted physical or at least the downloads at a huge discount. Luckily the new one will be physical, so I'll get it down the line.
Someone on this site speculated a while back that maybe there are parts where Link is playable (based on the image of the box). Maybe there's a dual world setup?
The reveal was highly dissapointing. It says basically: You wanted a new Prime? Here you have a new Prime, with the same graphics! Surely I expected it to a bit more special, with a bit stronger graphics. So far I can't see this being better then the first Prime (or Echoes). Just another entry. Yes I expected to much, but maybe they delivered to little?
Never expected this franchise to return. It looks amazing, very nice celshaded graphics. And new enemies/bosses from what I can tell! So this isn't made by AlphaDream, but it still looks very promising. This and Zelda make me eat this Holiday, I knew Nintendo wouldn't let us starving. For me, this was the best announcement and trailer.
I really hoped they would do a topdown Zelda again. And they used the beautiful artstyle from the Links awakening remake. Though something seems off, I can't tell why. Well at least it has Zelda in the lead this time and gameplay that's a little bit different. I am sure it will be a fine game.
Trailer didn't blow me away like the Metroid Dread trailer did. At least it showed that its a proper Metroid Prime game. And fun to see that they follow up on the Sylux teaser (I didn't expect that). To me it also looks like a spruced-up Metroid Prime, should have looked much better. Also, still on Switch! People expect a dual-release, but we have yet to see that!
Can't say I am very excited for a remake, where's my proper sequel? Overall Playtonic is very dissapointing. Over all those years they just made Yooka Laylee (a fun hommage to Banjo, but not great) and a decent Yooka Laylee sidescroller. But where is the proper sequel, where are the titles based on the other Yooka Laylee characters (they wanted to create a universe)? All they do is their indie-label, Playtonic Friends. Its quite dissapointing in my opinion.
I hope Nintendo still has at least one or 2 cool surprises in store for the Holiday to send the Switch off. But to be honest I just expect even more ports and remakes, but we'll see.
As for Silksong: It takes soooo long now, we should get it off our radar for now (we'll see it someday, hopefully). However, maybe a release-date for Nine Sols, wich may be a bit of a Hollowknight killer (I heard its really good).
Isn't it sad?! As far as I know this game isn't even about ramming "the message" home, as some people call it nowadays. Instead, its just a guy who wants to show his culture inside a game, just as Never alone also showed a culture (a "snow people" culture, their real name is a bit hard for me to write. Difficult name). I actually find that refreshing. You get a different peak on the world, and why has every game to be exactly the same?
I have a couple of loose ends in the game, Ganondorf being a big loose end! With Breath of the wild I also took a hiatus before the endboss, but now I am taking quite a big hiatus. I am also a bit scared I think, the route to him alone is quite painful. But one day I will do it, otherwise the game isn't finished!
The "Magnetic docking" system for the joy-cons scares me. Not only do we have yet another magnetic field, but what if the magnets fail and you drop your Switch? I really hope there's also a physical way to dock those joy-cons. As for the new Switch being compatible with physical AND digital Switch games, does that mean that they finally continue their e-shop and that we finally get a account system (so that we don't have to buy everything again?)? We wait and see.
So Goodfeel keeps making games for Nintendo (They went independent)? Anyway, played the demo. It was okay, but as casual as casual can be. I still might buy it someday, but at a huge discount. And I am hoping that they still bring that "Goemon" game to the west!
I liked the Switch-demo and was thinking it looked nice enough, it was fun and it functioned great. I'll download it someday at a discount, by that time it might be even better (with patches and all). For me it all worked.
Nice review and nice score. I am hoping there will be a physical version though, and not of the "Limited run" variety. Otherwise I'll just wait for a discount.
What happened to that other 2D title, with the skeleton? It looked also very promising. Did they really cancel it just because their Kickstarter campaign went wrong? That would be terrible!
I wonder if this will be anything like Arceus, with the throwing mechanic and catching Pokemon without fighting (stuff they ditched in Scarlet and Violet). Might be interesting then. It could also just be a city-builder. Maybe it all plays in one gigantic city?
Lol at the people who immediately assume it will be a Switch 2 launch-title or a dual release. Personally I think its just one of the very last Switch titles in Spring 2025, BEFORE we jump to Switch 2.
That would be nice for Nintendo Online users for sure, but I still would love Rare Replay and physical at that. There are quite some games on it that I never played, including all the Xbox stuff.
I missed the last batch, and don't know if I am going for this new batch (to busy with other games and stuff). But I guess they all get added to the in-game shop at a later date?

@macdude22,
I suspected as much. Uwe Boll is really terrible, that's probably hard to replicate.

This should also be on the eshop. And I am still waiting for the sequel.
Re: Good-Feel's Goemon-Inspired Switch Game 'Bakeru' Is Getting Localised

Re: Critically-Panned 'Borderlands' Movie Flops At The Box Office

Re: Soapbox: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Won't Be The Franchise's 'BOTW Moment', And That's Okay
@N8tiveT3ch,
I see. I suspected as much.
Re: Soapbox: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Won't Be The Franchise's 'BOTW Moment', And That's Okay
@N8tiveT3ch,
that also would have been bad. Metroid Dread trailer was stunning by the way, and a sidescrolling Metroid that looked really nice.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Announced, Coming To Switch In 2025
I wonder if this will be anything like Arceus, with the throwing mechanic and catching Pokemon without fighting (stuff they ditched in Scarlet and Violet). Might be interesting then. It could also just be a city-builder. Maybe it all plays in one gigantic city?
Lol at the people who immediately assume it will be a Switch 2 launch-title or a dual release. Personally I think its just one of the very last Switch titles in Spring 2025, BEFORE we jump to Switch 2.
