@jhewitt3476 When I speak about controls, that is not only about buttons, but the control design of Link as well. See difference with the (real) 2nd game : A Link to the Past. There, Link can move all 8 directions and the sword do a 180° swing. Those simple things makes combat massively more forgiving. That, and you add some stuff like no world map, no guidance on how to find dungeons, and you do have a difficult game because of its old age. I have no doubt the controls are understandable for a 7 years old, but will he/she be able to complete the whole without a guide or help ?
I fully did LoZ 1 some years ago in a emulator, with many deaths and using emulator save stats to pause and resume, while I usually surf on ALTTP without much harm.
Violations of ESRB can result in fines up to $1 million, product recall, and much more stuff. Without a rating, you are not allowed to be sold on many places. Don't invent any "SJW" where there is none.
@Tempestryke It is a way harder game, because 1) it was made in another era, when games just get out of arcade and were designed that way and 2) because of old controls that feel very different to what we are used to now.
@saintayu Not saying there is. You're familiar with the Zelda Wii exploit ? It was because you can rename Epona, and the game didn't check when using it if it is not too long. Called buffer overflow. It allows almost anything in the right hands. With more than 1000+ games already, you cannot ensure that every single one of them does not have a similar vulnerabilty. Plus, most of them are not under Nintendo control.
So like it or not, they are terrified of this past and that must be why it's blocked now.
That is not like Nintendo are alone in this. On my Xbox One I cannot as well simply export and import game saves physically without much hassle. (Not looked into details on that one however)
@saintayu Physical backup of save data is what broke the Wii. You have to ensure every single game, first and third party, has no weakness. Obviously impossible.
@Ooyah Video capture need software support from every games, needed patches to be enabled and is still not available everywhere (worst offender for me : Crash Trilogy). So.. don't want to be this guy but.. expect the worst.
If all current mega Pokemon are in Let's Go, that also implies at least Gen 2 types too (Mega Gyraedos is Water-Dark). And thus gen2+ moves. Good news.
@Snaplocket I have the game. It is mostly fixed yes but not 100%, and I had a terribly laggy tournament finale just yesterday... Such things will become unacceptable once we pay for them.
If they don't use the cash to seriously buff their network infrastructure, they will have a player uproar on their arms. If SSBU is remotely as much laggy as was Mario Tennis (and still is at time), they are doomed.
Why no one things of the third right options ; its not a port, it's a new game on the same but upgraded engine like the damn rest of the world do all the time.
@Prizm You must see at a longer term. Nintendo is relatively small compared to competition and can't afford multiples AAA games at once. Even with unexpected surprises there is not much in the loop for 2019.
And the Mario Tennis online fiasco proved that Nintendo is nowhere near ready to handle online at a real scale ; and it's the stuff that generates the most revenue on the industry right now.
So, for an investor with surface knowledge, the future don't look good.
If you write a news for every ripped of game, you'll have an Infinite supply.
But it is true this one has balls. It went all out with a big video campaign completely using Pokémons, the music, etc..., then with enough players, has patched them out with obvious ripoffs but IP-law compliants.
@Nicolai I haven't think of this side. But this as the arcade revival ? This kind of virtual reality rooms, to fit in public access building, will be in very small rooms. Or into rich people house.
More likely, the virtual reality will come with the affordable devices like Oculus Rift.
@Artwark They certainely do. The Marios and NES Remix(EDIT : NOPE ^^") weren't outsourced. It is safe to believe that the new Zelda and the new Star Fox are in-house too. Plus some secret projects.
But, for now, I think Nintendo published more game than they have actually made themselves.
@Samurai_Goroh Waste from what exactly ? Nintendo is barely developping anything themselves nowaday, with even the mighty Smash Bros. outsourced to Bandai-Namco. The news sounds like Capcom is the one developping this arcade game. Nintendo sounds like more a publisher than anything today.
And don't wish too much the return of Luigi's Mansion on Wii U, or else you'll have it literally, in a basic Virtual Console port.

Re: What Happened To Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Coming To The Switch?
It risk to require a huge graphical downgrade to enter the Switch, unfortunately, as multiplatform games are rarely optimised.

@DonSerrot Unfortunately there is everything stopping PC, the content and gameplay is different between the two to make them incompatible

The difficulty is not adapted to today's audience so that's a way to explore it for most without suffering.

Re: Nintendo Switch Online Cloud Services Explained By Diablo III Associate Producer
@saintayu They won't add even more easier way to broke it just because it is already broken lol. That's naive at best.

Re: CoroCoro Confirms That Mega Evolutions Will Return In Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee
And it is very sad they have trashed Kalos so fast to go with Sun/Moon. Z or XZ/YZ versions would have been so cool.

Won't happen unless Nintendo rebuild entire network code from scratch. Not gonna happen. But gonna charge for that.

Re: Luigi's Mansion Arcade May Potentially Be a Thing in Japan
@Nicolai I don't see ppl in the west coming to the whole "pay for each game" boxes.
But, not so long ago, I wouldn't belive anyone who told me 3 maps DLC at 15€ can be multimillion-sellers.
