WW is my favorite Zelda, probably top 5 of all the games I've played. Metroid Other M wasn't too horrible. It had plenty going for it but some poor direction decisions held it back. I like that Nintendo takes chances with their IP's. Metroid Prime is an amazing example of taking a big risk that paid off ( for gamers anyway, I know the series isn't a big seller).
@AmplifyMJ I waiting for DOOM Eternal at $20, no matter how long that takes.
I still don't own the Switch "essentials" like Odyssey and BOTW ( have it on WiiU ). Nintendo is notoriously stubborn with pricing on their IP's. It's likely I'll find a used copy locally for sale at a reasonable price.
I didn't enjoy using it in the demo but that could be because I never got comfortable with it. Hopefully it will resonate better in the full game ( which is likely the case).
New SMB DS isn't as iconic as World or SMB3, but I personally put it up there with those classics. The mini and mega Mario powerups were a refreshing inclusion, as well as the mini games. 10/10
I'll buy it digitally a little bit down the road. Owning a physical copy is pretty sweet, great purchase to those who got one. I didn't love this game when I had it on the 360, but having it portable sounds very enjoyable.
And the beast Monster Hunter is waiting to be released. 2021 will be equally impressive for Nintendo. I bought my Switch last year and hardly turn on my tv since.

Re: Soapbox: I'm Tired Of Ports And Remakes - Where Are All Nintendo's New Ideas?
BOTW, Odyssey, MK8,Animal Crossing etc. are still selling well. Maybe Nintendo is holding things back because of that.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Is Getting Another Free Demo, Future Free Updates Detailed

Re: Hori Is Launching A New Monster Hunter Rise Split Pad Pro Controller For Switch
I would buy that in a heartbeat but I only own a Switch Lite. The design looks good and much more comfortable for large hands like mine.

Re: Lost WiiWare Title Space Invaders Get Even Could Come To Switch If There's Enough Demand
There are some brilliant Wii Ware games that should be rereleased. Castlevania Rebirth immediately comes to mind.

I didn't enjoy using it in the demo but that could be because I never got comfortable with it. Hopefully it will resonate better in the full game ( which is likely the case).
Re: Nintendo's Paper Mario Series Is Now 20 Years Old
A compilation of the N64, Cube and Wii titles would be amazing. Those are the 3 best ones IMO and people new to the series can play these fun titles.

Re: Review: Redout: Space Assault - A Bargain-Bin Star Fox With Spectacular Visuals
Just to nitpick a tad, I feel the the criticisms of being repetitive and lacking depth can be construed as the same thing.
Re: Review: Redout: Space Assault - A Bargain-Bin Star Fox With Spectacular Visuals
@nimnio I don't think the prices are displayed in the mobile view of this site. I only see them when I switch to desktop mode.

Re: You Could Win This "Custom-Skinned" Funimation Nintendo Switch Console
Spending a few hundred bucks to have thousands of people advertising your product on IG is smart business, but I'm not taking the bait.
Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising's First DLC Expansion Launches Today
@Jedge396 The majority of the impressions I've seen is that it's very fun. I have to agree and there's a lot of content already in the base game.

Re: Frame Rate And Resolution For Monster Hunter Rise Demo Revealed
@Grumblevolcano definitely. World is very clunky on my PS4. I'll take stable 30 every time.
Re: Frame Rate And Resolution For Monster Hunter Rise Demo Revealed
Looked nice enough. The gameplay is what I'm most interested in and the demo shined in that regard.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Monster Hunter Rise And The Three amiibo
I love all things Monster Hunter but I'm sticking with the base game only.
Re: Preview: Monster Hunter Rise Feels Like A Glorious Homecoming For The Series, Not A Side-Story
@Retro_Player_77 It should be a huge year for Switch exclusives. I'm even reserving ( a little) hope for a Metroid Prime 4 2021 release.
Re: Preview: Monster Hunter Rise Feels Like A Glorious Homecoming For The Series, Not A Side-Story
Damn nice impression. I was not going to play the demo and wait for the actual grind, but now I'm very interested in seeing the new mechanics.
