@GrandAlex64 See this is why it's all subjective. I can't watch that scene in Japanese, it's so hammy and over the top it makes me cringe! Patricia delivered that scene with a bit of subtly which I thought was much more appropriate. Listing everyone who's died, and then just kind of giving into despair and collapsing with a sob was much better than randomly starting to scream-wail in a way that didn't remotely match the body language of the character model. But, that is just me bringing my interpretation that is no doubt coloured by my taste.

For the record I think Patricia is great and it's a bonus she was also just a lovely human when I met her at a con when BotW released. Can't wait to see what she gets up to in this game.

People should rock up to NoA headquarters and protest if they feel strongly about this stuff. Nintendo obviously calculate that the PR problem isn't bad enough to warrant not taking excessive copyright strike action as is. So the solution should be make the PR problem worse.

@Pat_trick A reference to the greatest sitcom outtake ever? Good show sir.

Literally any of them. They don't make bad ones. Even the ones we think are naff are still good games by any standard.

@HenHiro Don't we all? Would love me a new world 😭

@PessitheMystic If the market is oversaturated, then you haven't waited long enough.

Super Smash Warriors: Subspace Emissary.

What's the actual reason for them doing this? I really don't get it. We all know why they should be allowing people to create fan art, but I can't come up with any sensible reason for them to actively prevent it? Are they planning on releasing all the music themselves or something? Really feel like I'm missing something blindingly obvious here.

The entertainment value comes from watching it live with the rest of nintendolife 😂 It was a meh show in terms of content, but I don't think anyone was expecting much from it. But that Rock cringe? So spice.

Hey Kate, what's your favourite game genre?

I actually get really confused by this behaviour. I've never understood why companies choose to reduce promotion during times of crisis. I think it's because if you know terrible stuff is constantly going on, every second of every day, it feels weirdly inconsistent for a company to say "well, we'll reduce promotion until this thing blows over, but we don't have to worry about this other thing."

I wouldn't expect or even want a company to reduce promotion every time something hideous is happening, so it feels weirdly arbitrary when they do so I guess. My two cents anyway.

Should probably also add, this is not to take away from the significance of what's going on in Ukraine, I wish them every success in protecting their citizenry and sovereign territory.

🎶 Woke up this mornin'... Got myself a 'mon...🎶

@Torakaka Trouble is, we have Ridley. That pretty clearly means that trying to come up with a list of rules for who can and cannot be in Smash is inherently an excercise in futility. Sakurai doesn't follow the rules that come out of his own mouth.

Now I'd personally love the Master Chief, but I've enjoyed this iteration of Smash so much I'm just gonna put my feet up, grab some popcorn and enjoy the end of this crazy ride 😎

@ModdedInkling I feel like this will be incorrect. The DLC is almost guaranteed to take place at some point within the main story in AoC. I really hope you're right though!

"There are probably people reading this right now that came out after the last Metroid."

I really enjoy Kate's writing style 🤣

@SpaceboyScreams ...I wish this wasn't the perfect analogy, but life doesn't work out like that sometimes.

God I can't wait for the E3 live chat. The staff and community all triple my enjoyment of these events 😂

Two years is enough time between trailers. I shall manifest BotW2 with everything I have. All are invited to join me.

I would definitely play this, I prefer the visuals in this to the remakes coming. However, given we've got legends I'll probably just pick that up instead of the remakes. Crackin' effort on this trailer though, well done whoever made it

Angry birds with ray tracing, anyone?

@_Dan Those shows are so fantastic, if Zelda got that treatment it'd be ecstatic.

"I AM KIDDING, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TRUST US, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE"

I have thoroughly enjoyed Kate's writing style since she got here 😂

@HenHiro Nah man, just offering some friendly advice. I had a lil' flick through your comments and if I was wasting as much of my day ensuring everyone knew how much I hated certain things as you did, I'd want someone to bring that to my attention. Anyway, it's a new day today, I hope you find something to enjoy. Have a good one.

@HenHiro You know what I do when I see articles discussing games I don't care for? I scroll past them. You may find yourself with more time to appreciate the stuff you do like if you were to follow this policy too. Anyway, you have a great day 👍

I super appreciate this article. I had a similar moment of "oh wait, I can do this a different way..." when there was a shrine with a runway of spikey swinging balls on chains. There was enough of a gap between each one to stand, so presumably stasis would be the default way of getting past it, stop a ball, move to the gap, stop the next, move to the next gap, etc, etc.

That felt like it would take too long to me, so noticing they were metal I grabbed each one with magnesis and hung them up over the arms they were swinging from, immobalising the balls and clearing the entire walkway. Might seem an obvious alternative solution, but clocking it makes you feel like a real genius. And this game had moments like that in spades.

@AlexOlney

Electric Boogaloo

This is a funny game for me because unlike most other Zeldas, I have a hard time relating to people's experiences. My motion controls always worked brilliantly. I hear complaints about the linear sections before dungeons, but they always just felt like just more dungeon to me. I loved the imprisoned fights. Every damn one of them. If Fi told me my batteries were low, I'd change them and thank her.

I dunno. This is easily one of my favourite Zeldas though. Where I do relate to people is the love of the story. And if folks could forget about batteries for a second, Fi was one of the best companions. Her arc might not pay off until right at the end, but when it does it's like an elbow straight to the gut. Between her and the final boss, it changed the way I looked at every other Zelda game I'd played in the past. That's pretty special to me.

@Eddyson I too have been enjoying those. NL should just hire him. I can already imagine the ridiculous grin on my face if I popped onto Youtube one day and saw a thumbnail with Arlo and Alex in a video together

@Tasuki He's been through a billion E3s, he knows what's important about them. E3 is an enormous marketing event, and as Reggie was president of NoA he'd be pretty crummy if he didn't.

Anyone else really looking forward to the live chat here tomorrow? It always makes broadcasts feel communal. I love it, even if the announcements are a bit pants. Fully expecting to be blown away though. No pressure, Nintendo

JUST SAW ON YOUTUBE, MY FACE EXPLODED

How does no one here have a story about being buddies with an Xbox kid in school and having months long debates about who would win in a fight between the Master Chief and Samus, culminating in the discovery of Haloid and the realisation that they're both badass mother cluckers? Do people not want to be able to play out that fight for themselves?

I would pay all of the money, so much money, to get the Chief in Smash. He's an iconic character with an insane amount of potential in a moveset. Grenades and energy swords and fuel rod cannons and the classic Halo 2 BR, whatever you like. Arrives into the match via drop pod, final smash could be blowing up a Halo ring. Stage could be that last level from Halo 3 on the Ark, to THAT music. It'd be amazing.

@TheLightSpirit Indeed. If they listen to the feedback then I shall be the first to jump straight back on the Pokétrain

@TheLightSpirit I can say they don't have Chikorita or Turtwig or Tropius. Those are my three favourites and every Pokémon game I play, I get those three as quickly as possible and play through with them. I can't even do that with one of them

I've stopped buying Pokémon games. Didn't buy Sword or Shield, and if they pull what they did this gen again I shan't be buying the next ones either. Not that it makes a blind bit of difference but I just cannot get on board.

Sweet baby Jesus, PLEASE. This would be so god damn cool, and would help with the sting of having to say goodbye to all the awesome Marvel stuff 😂

@jump Careful now.

I'll be grinding Age of Calamity for that final, not-so-secret cutscene 😁

@Scorcher Depends on how many symbols you absorb 😉

@Onion Yes. Yes he did.

These characters are cool and all, but I think we all know which accordion slinging beast needs to be a DLC character and have his own side story ASAP.

Impa and the frankly facemelting DPS she outputs makes the rest of the cast feel veeeeery slow by comparison. But perhaps I just need to get better with the others.

THEM CLONES THOUGH

I was going to make a snide remark about Nintendo keeping a much closer eye on the quality control of Pokémon games because of this, but you guys in the comments have me covered 😂

@Anti-Matter Corner. Right now. You need to think about the consequences to your actions.

@PlayedNSlayed The trouble with connecting dots is when you have enough of them, you can make anything you like appear.

Damn, that last one got me Nice though!

@nessisonett I'm sure I read an article on this site explaining how Nintendo is insanely cash rich. Open to correction here, but I'm pretty sure they could afford it if they wanted.

...

...

...Oooooooooooooof bruh

@PoorGeno Word

Can't say I bought any of those. I did buy Cadence though 😁

I cannot take much more of this 😂 I keep laughing throughout my day because I remember this game is a thing that is happening. I want it mainlined directly into my bloodstream.
