Wouldn't say it's a surefire; I could see a world where this gets AC players back to picking up their switch, or maybe looking at switch 2. Let it gestate for a bit, then release the new one in Holiday 2026. Or maybe hold that for Winter 2027. However, the "Switch 2 Version" being only $5 for the upgrade, and most of the new content being available for both, convinces me that something new from AC is in the works to be served sooner rather than later. Otherwise, I think the new beefy content would have been saved for a pricy Switch 2 version upgrade.
@Darthmoogle it is IDW, but it's adapting a specific story before jennika so I think my hopes are high. I'd say slash or metalhead are more likely, but but I can still dream
@Misima I believe your thinking of TMNT tactical takedown. This is the rouge lite game. Which I greatly enjoyed, and looking forward to a new character. I kinda hope we get jennika 😅
I picked it up on PC, and honestly I can't fault it for pulling from so much that came before it. It pulls it all together in an experience that is fun, and that I feel like I just want more of. I'm 7 hours in, and enjoying it vastly.
I love good games. I am loving Astrobot, but with that said....One of the reasons I love Astrobot is that it does the Mario stuff so well lol. Countless times I am reminded of mechanics of Mario games. But I'm ok with that, I said the something about Donkey Kong Country, and Banjo Kazooie, when those games came out. Loved them both, this just more of that. Imitation is the highest form of Flattery
@Not_Soos Most of that news before was classified as leaks, and Nintendo Life a few years ago If I recall correctly, decided to no longer make articles on leaks.
@Greenmanalishi I have them both on GameCube and it is what it is, and I rather it then Japanese only voice acting option. If company doesn't provide me with what I prefer, they don't get my money.
@Shepdawg1 I half agree.... I think they could handle Kirby, and possibly a Star-Fox movie....but No way would they be right for Metroid, Link or even Kid Icarus
I loved the movie, on fun Factor it was 8/10...sure it would be lower if I was judging on the story or if motivated me....but sometimes all a movie needs to be is fun.
@Serpenterror in fairness Platinum didn't get to make the game they wanted to make. It felt unfinished. I feel this can be great as long as the money allows it.
This is a horrible question, why make people like me choice...Given me all the anxiety.
Your point of Spirit Track driving a Train, does make that link pretty bawler (who is not the same link as Wind Waker/Phantom hour glass, there is one character that is directly from those games, but it's not Link)
Riding on Bird from Skyward Sword is pretty rad.
But I think I'm going to go with Link Between worlds; going 2D is a bawler. I know my reasoning is pretty Thin, but it gives me a flat out winner
I guess I'm saying if it's the tropes of every story, how is it a more enjoyable experience when they just molding the story be retold, with Mario Characters?
I argue storytelling has become obsessed with the Hero's Journey, and with little to few steps away from it. Not that I expect Nintendo to be the one to step away from it, but I wish they did here. I just feel like a story could have been told without it, with the Mario characters.
I feel Nintendo has done a fine job Establishing who these characters are and done very well by doing it without dialog for many years. Building on top of that for a movie is fine, but personally, I feel like from the trailers, they turned Mario into a bumbling hero, which I don't think is necessary. I get they want to show growth of the protagonist, but it looks like Princess peach is going to be the wise sage character that gets Mario ready to save his brother.
Which really not the characters, but more Nintendo's characters are being molded to fit their standard Hollywood storytelling...
Don't get me wrong Still looking forward to seeing the movie in April, but the trailer doesn't make me feel like they are doing anything special.
@Xansies Just yesterday I finished playing the first one on Gamecube, 90% of the game is voice. The main story is all voiced (except for oddly a stretch of the end content they didn't record any voices for) You had the option to turn off the voices if you prefer, so curious if your memory of it not having much Voice acting is because maybe you turned off the voice acting?
Midna, for sure is number one. Ezo Is likely my number two. But Zelda is right up there, I'm giving her number 3. I can't believe she was the last on this list. I thought Spirit Tracks was great just for the Ghibili start relationship between Link and Zelda.
This is a HUGE disappointment for me. For big scope RPGs I want to play them Englished Dubbed. Glad this was made known, I have both of the OG on GameCube, still haven't played Origins, was thinking of starting it soon. But then Thought I was going to wait. Nope, not waiting for this now.
I get, because he worked on the doors he's quite attached to them. But I think at least from accessibility when playing in handheld, the change makes the doors quite bit more visible
Still buying them myself. Just got Sephiroth, I have Sephiroth, Cloud and Snake lined around my PS Classic. I have DK and diddy next to SNES Classic Have full Fire Emblem Set, Have Full Zelda Set and few more. Looking forward to Prya and Mythra. I'll have a nice area for them next to Shulk and my Xenoblade controller.
Literally this weekend, I picked up a GameCube and both of the Baten Kaitos. I was feeling nostalgic, as I' turn 40 really soon, and was regretting not having my GameCube anymore. I had the first game but I don't think I can it's proper to go when it came out. Really enjoying replaying it right now. So selfishly I hope if we are getting a remake it's closer to the end of the year. Give me time to finish and digest the OG. lol
I picked up Sparks of Hope, I feel it lacks the Nintendo worlds and leans heavily into Rabbids making it less appealing to those who loved the first.
But also I can't remember seeing any ADs for the game. So Marketing wasn't that great.
But all and all I don't buy that many Ubisoft games at launch. I mean I've been given every Assassin's Creed game through some promotion or another, besides the last one that I got for 20 bucks weeks after launch, played through and then traded in for 40.
@Polvasti Found some videos of "early reviews" Obviulsy company sent them out to some people before hand, not sure if they are paid or not. But I digress, my point is the reviews say it has both Gyro and Rumble, it's just not HD rumble
Still plan on buying. I think Taylor has every right to stand up for herself and demand pay. But Sometimes you win some, and loose some. The question I would ask everyone is who here pays full price for a game if they know they can get on sale soon? Or shops at the discount stores, over paying higher prices for a premium?
Platinum (I imagine) didn't want to pay more... because they didn't have to. Who know's in their mind, they may still feel making a third game is risky.
The game series is successful sure, but it took work by Publishers to get there. Hell, There is a reason Sega didn't want to make a sequel. Nintendo stepped in, and now owns the property.
Unboxed. I'm missing the Smash Toon link, and the TP 30th Aniversay link. But have all the other Zelda ones, and all of Fire Emblem, besides the Chrom variant. I display DK amiibos next to my SNES classic. and others scattered different places
I think they fixing it, the login problem has gone away, my cart, while greyed out still, shows 1 item in it. Plus Xenoblade is not the only thing you can't buy, all physical items can't be bought right now.
Site is having issues sense the begining, went up around 11:30, I struggled and struggled to get it in my cart and stay logged finally did. Got to check out, then their payment system was done. Disappeared from Cart, site then put me in a queuing line. Then the queueing line brings back to the page and now it says
The My Nintendo Store is currently undergoing maintenance. Please check back soon, and thank you for your understanding. Item limit reached
I've been waiting for the price to be released. I knew in my heart it would be out of reach, but I still believe maybe it's just out of reach that it felt obtainable... My jaw dropped, my heart sank, pretty sure I blacked out when I saw the price. My dream of owning it one-day obliviated. I want to go back to not knowing the price

Re: Video: Metroid Prime Remastered - Switch Vs. GameCube Comparison
No issues pick this one up....cause I did the moment I could lol.
I own and proudly display the Wii Trilogy, Loved playing Prime on GameCube.
This is a borderline remake, it looks so good. If more remasters took this level of care, I might be more willing to pick up remasters more often.
I hope we get 2 and 3 done with this level of care.
Re: Talking Point: In 2023, Do You Still Care About amiibo?
