The advantage to having a laaaaarge backlog is that I get all the updates of the released games and bugs fixed! This was awesome, finally got to play. I will say, get fast travel by donating 20k to the church ASAP; it makes life much easier.
I remember Bloodstained being so buggy on Switch, then finally improved so much with updates. Sounds like I'll have to wait for a few updates before trying this, but looks like fun!
Great Ace Attorney Chronicles got me the most. The music alone makes it worth playing, but it definitely tugs at the heart strings when you finally finish the final case of Resolve. Just so. Freaking. Good.
I'm sure this is a stupid observation, but how would a new Switch help them with the chip shortage? They are crushing software, so I think they are good
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Hell, I'm one of the few that didn't care for Breath of the Wild diverting so much from proper bosses and unique dungeons, and apparently I'm in the minority. Not sure why their feelings are hurt; not everyone can like the exact same thing. I personally think it's great, but like with all games, it's all about the end experience.
I'll never understand why, after Star Fox 64, they didn't stick to the spirit of the franchise that obviously worked. It's an on rails, auto strolling shooter... Not a Zelda, or a strategy game, etc. It's like Zelda 2...not necessarily an awful game... But not really Zelda.
SNES, but that's probably my childhood talking. Still, Final Fantasy II (iv) and III (vi), along with Ogre Battle, Mario Kart, Super Metroid, Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana... Good lord, the memories.
Still kind of angry about the lazy boss near the end of the game before the final boss. Was basically a normal enemy but had some different attacks. The others were great, but that one was surprisingly easy and boring, felt like they just gave up. Final boss was at least tough tough.
@garfreek I'm not sure, it's been so long since I played. The music, the gambit system (once you figure it out, it's great), and the challenge compared to some previous games was just so good to me. Maybe I'm looking at it with rose tinted glasses, but it blew me away and I was crazy addicted to it.
Zelda won't be ready this year.... They always take their sweet time, and it's hard to complain with the results normally, but I really hope they add proper dungeons and bosses to the new Zelda; then, it's perfection 👌
Breath of the Wild, but add about 10 fully realized dungeons with unique item, then mid boss and main boss for the perfect Zelda game. Only thing I missed were the awesome dungeons and huge, unique bosses in other Zelda games. Link to the Past or Ocarina are still my faves, but it's probably nostalgia talking
Still confused... I love Ace Attorney, but it feels like a video game, with lots of choices and decisions. This feels like literally just reading and not a game in any way.... so not sure I'd like it. Might try it because the reviews are so so complimentary.
A Zelda 2 modern remake would be cool... it's different for sure and feels the least like Zelda of all of them... even the abysmal Tri Force Heroes. Actually played that for 4 hours before I realized, this is bad stuff. Zelda 2 is just odd and really not great, like Castlevania 2 and Mario 2...glad all of them went back to their roots with the 3rd entries.
@garfreek I looooved the music when fighting the espers (I think that's what they were). I enjoyed the gambit system as well, took awhile to figure out but speeds it up. Agree with characters not quite being up to par, but I was lost in the game for weeks.
I have a true love for this series. I ordered Investigations 2 in English for cheap and played it on my old DS... such an amazing game also, and always, the music is top notch.
I guess I'm just a weird nerd; FFIII and Chrono Trigger I loved, hell I loved almost all these games, but Ogre Battle is my favorite SNES game of all time and was left off 😭😭😭
Oh wow, great topic. I have no idea if everyone considered it a bad game or not, BUT I loved Snake Rattle and Roll for NES, and none of my friends could play it haha
Such a weird Zelda. Twilight Princess is still my favorite, since it had the huge overworld, tons of unique dungeons, great bosses, and fun special items like the spinner. Having hero mode finally helped the way too easy difficulty. Skyward recycles too many environments and bosses, and just seemed off to me. Still better than most games, but my least favorite Zelda.
Absolutely. Samsung phones are notorious for this with their OLED models. Screens look nice, but those images can burn bad if left on by accident. not terribly worried, but it will absolutely be an issue
I remember when Prime and Fusion were announced on the same day... my mind was blown. I also thought Metroid would be awwwwwful in 3D, but was so thankful Fusion would be 2d, so I knew it would be good at least. Then I played Prime... just amazing how good it was.

Re: Rumour: Metroid Prime Remaster Apparently Lined Up For November, Prime 2 And 3 To Follow
This is God awful. All 3 should be released as a single remaster, not 3 seperate cash ins. Cmon, this isnt cool Nintendo

Re: '9 Years Of Shadows' Slices Onto Switch Later This Year
The music and art direction alone make this one to watch for in my opinion.
Re: Brutal Metroidvania 'The Last Faith' Is The Spawn Of Castlevania And Blasphemous
For everyone that hates Metroidvania style games... Don't buy it. The rest of us love this stuff and apparently we can't get enough

Re: It's Official, Metroid Dread Is The Best-Selling Game In The Metroid Series
I loved the game, but the music was severely lacking, which is odd for a Metroid game.

Re: Metroid Dread's Second Free Update Is Now Available, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Disappointed for sure. Seems to be universally panned, and the original is such a fun game. May get it anyways, but wish it performed better.

Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Delayed To Spring 2023
This is far from bad news. Nintendo has a history of delaying games over and over, and it almost always means a 10/10 type of video game.
Re: Review: Wife Quest - A Bawdy Metroidvania That's Well Worth A Look
I'm totally guilty of buying all these damn 2D metroidvania games... 🤦
Re: Poll: So, Do You Think Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Will Actually Release In 2022?
0 percent chance. Launches with a revised Switch holiday 2023.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 'Second Wind' Expansion Mod Adds Brand New Octo Boss Battle
Pretty uninspiring looking fight...but for a free update, it works. Just hope next Zelda adds proper unique bosses and dungeons
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Lining Up A Huge Year Of Gaming In 2022

Re: Octopath Traveler Teases Sequel On Its Third Anniversary
@Classic603 felt the exact same way. awesome music and game for the most part.
Re: Talking Point: Can Metroid Dread Be The Franchise's 'Awakening'?
Now if Nintendo could make more special editions so scalpers get screwed, that would be awesome.
Re: Hands On: It's Time To Judge The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

Re: Nintendo Highlights "Smoother Play Experience" In The Opening Hours Of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
Such a weird Zelda. Twilight Princess is still my favorite, since it had the huge overworld, tons of unique dungeons, great bosses, and fun special items like the spinner. Having hero mode finally helped the way too easy difficulty. Skyward recycles too many environments and bosses, and just seemed off to me. Still better than most games, but my least favorite Zelda.
Re: Talking Point: Should We Be Worried About Screen Burn-In With Switch OLED?
@NIN10DOXD yeah I use my galaxy phones and don't have issues, it's mainly people that accidentally leave it plugged in and on one screen overnight.
Re: Talking Point: Should We Be Worried About Screen Burn-In With Switch OLED?

Re: Here's How Nintendo Is Improving Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Over The Wii Original
@Clammy man the easiest one I thought for sure was always Twilight Princess. Hero mode helped make it a little more challenging thankfully.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Metroid Game?
