Game looks interesting, but I keep confusing it for Vampire Survivor (I think the title of the game is Vampire Survivor, and then the gameplay is Dead Cells. Dead wrong every single time).
The problem with this game taking so long, is that it is an indie title. It shouldn't be taking LONGER to make (or just give us information on) than a title like Metroid Prime 4 Beyond (after it restarted development).
Why does Nintendo of American seem to give us the short end of the stick every time? I feel like Europe is starting to get cool or impactful stuff like Japan, while we don't get much of anything anymore.
Fans of other Nintendo series that haven't even had a remake of an old entry on Switch lambast, as Famicom Detective Club had a remake of the first two games, and now a new game.
Us Punch-Out!! fans will eat soon enough one day, mark my words on 3/9/2025
I was going to say something about the guy who always talks about PlayStation here to just move to PushSquare, but looks like he either deleted his comments, or blocked me.
Despite all my rage, I'm just a cat in a tree. Although maybe I need an account makeover. What do NintendoLife users say?
I think this is mostly likely a new IP, considering the fact that Eternal Darkness was HEAVY with the insanity effects. But if it is, it'll be crazy to see the new mechanics.
@LadyCharlie Rare made Solar Jetman and Cobra Triangle? Interesting. Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, and Banjo-Tooie will probably be inevitable. Although I probably won't bother with Tooie (Banjo-Kazooie is kinda mid).
@GameOtaku Stinks, but the value is really great for the base tier. Expansion needs a little more meat, but it is getting there. I don't regret getting it (especially for Winback, Star Fox 64, and Sin & Punishment).
Also, most of you guys would repurchase the same games like on the Wii U/3DS. Like Scott the Woz said (and also most of you wanted this subscription in the first place, from his observations).
I think this is the biggest solo release for games in one release (as in, not when a new system dropped with all its games). They release more NES games today, than when they originally dropped the GBA service.
Anyways, hyped for Mach Rider. Smash fans asking for him overjoyed. Uniracers when though?
@RareFan To be fair about Banjo though, he's only had, three games? 4 if we count the GBA spin-off. Rayman is a great example, but Banjo never really got a shot (kinda doomed to that role, even if Nintendo bought Rare).
@kkslider5552000 On what you said about Advance Wars, THANK YOU. The first game ALONE has MORE time you can spend on it than the ENTIRE Crash Trilogy, yet that sold 20 million copies. Sure, Advance Wars is a smaller IP, but the people going "waaaah, 60 bucks is too much for GBA remakes" is crazy.
Crazier because people are buying Luigi's Mansion 2 HD En Mass, which is FAR lazier than the Advance Wars remakes (and 40 dollar game going to 60, verses two 40's going down to 60). And yet IP sells clearly, and not actual quality.
Heck, its cheaper to buy the Advance Wars reboot than to rebuy them on GBA. More expensive to rebuy those on their original system, than to get the remake. Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon is 13 dollars for a complete copy right now, and it was originally 40 dollars. But it is a Mario IP, and Mario fans ogle for Mario games, while most don't go out of that lane, even in their older years. Is trying out games out of your norm that hard?
Wow, a lot you people depress me. What do you mean NOTHING can take the place of old Zelda, except Zelda going down that route? It has a certain charm besides the formula, like music? Well then that should be easy to adept to if it was just that, but we know it isn't. You want Zelda to return to its routes, because you folk are too lazy to try other IP.
"Gee, I don't think I'll get the next Nintendo console, because Nintendo ruined Zelda" then play other games on the Switch. Get out of this mindset of "I will ONLY play X franchise and not really too many others on Z console", because it ultimately kills the franchises you guys beg for. You want to know why F-Zero is dead, even though it had that unique feel for a racing game? Well, despite not being that much like Mario Kart, it was going up against Mario, and each game ended up selling less and less. F-Zero being dropped in favor of Mario Kart back then, is why it was dead until 99. And yet there are still games that feel like F-Zero, like Fast RMX.
So, if you want the style of old Zelda (which didn't really kick off until ATTLP to be quite frank), and if you want that atmosphere, memorable characters, and good music to set you in, Startropics. Startropics is the series that should return because it checks all the boxes, and old Zelda has been gone for over a decade. Considering the fact that BOTW/TOTK are still loved, and are the best-selling Zelda games by a country mile, it is time to move on. Petition Nintendo for a Startropics game, or just play games like Tunic. Or give other Nintendo series like Metroid a shot. I know most of you haven't, because the best-selling one is Dread, and that still only sold 3.10 million copies.
Rant over, and also play Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, if you want to play a game that feels like Kid Icarus Uprising (and a lot better than it).
Mmmmm, guys? 3D Mario's future may not be in platforming. Instead, it may be in rail-shooting, in the vain of Pokemon Snap. Odyssey is the most successful 3D Mario game of all time, and that had an emphasis on photos. So they should ditch the platforming except to reach mountain tops and stuff to take pictures, and the rest can be rail-only.
A Japanese channel called WA channelWD thought Marth was a girl during some WarioWare x Smash story thingamabob, and I find that stupid. I also find a Fire Emblem game with no combat stupid.
Banjo-Kazooie will finally be widespread in every Gamestop again, but locked up in a plastic jail. Alongside other marketable characters and real people, in the place of games.

Re: Random: Nintendo Created Its Own Zelda-Themed Social Media To Help TOTK Development
