Cries in Michigan

Clock town would be awesome. And maybe I'm basic, but I just want Hyrule Castle.

You didn't do the battle courses. Now you have to start over...

I like the DQ games well enough but I feel like a lot of the later ones overstay their welcome. DQXI was one that I was super excited about but it just kept going. And then the entire third act kind of detracted from everything I did in the first two acts. From what I understand the first 3 are much shorter so I look forward to checking them out.

I don't understand why they have this restriction to begin with. Are they so concerned about the brand that characters have to become stereotypes without any individuality?

It's cool, and I'm sure they were trying to differentiate it from Mario, but I would have preferred to do Hyrule Castle.

I feel like the reviews that are less than 10s are all people who already played the original and just wanted more. I get it, I felt the same way with Super Mario RPG, but as someone who didn't get very far in TTYD then lost his Gamecube, I love this game, and I think it's one of Nintendo's finest.

Port: Same Game on a new system with no changes.
Enhanced Port: Same game on new system with minor changes such as extra level or character.
Remaster: Same source code but with new assets, such as HD models or updated soundtrack fidelity. Can also include extra features seen in enhanced port.
Remake: Game remade from the ground up where none of the original assets remain.
Reboot: Completely original idea using the same characters and concepts, but with a new take that is not the same as the original.

I want a company to take another crack at the DK64 formula. There's so much potential with that game if they address the biggest problems.

I feel like this game didn't need to add too much (Not that I would have complained.) Mario RPG has been accessible on the last few Nintendo systems (Wii, Wii U, SNES Classic), so in some ways it's had a chance to be fresh in the eyes of the audience, necessitating something to re-invigorate it. There hasn't been a legal way to play TTYD since the Gamecube. Not saying it wouldn't have benefited from extra content, but it didn't need it. I'm not one for boss rushes anyway.

If it has the comedy and charm of a Ron Gilbert game with the gameplay and world of a 2D Zelda, consider me sold.

This rumor happens EVERY time a new Zelda game is in the pipeline.

Here's hoping for FFXIV on the Switch 2. I love playing on PC but it would be nice too have portability for when I want to pop online for some quick daily check-ins.

It's probably gonna be mostly ports and remasters. Metroid Prime 2 and 3, Zelda WW and TP, Mario Galaxy 2 could all be likely. Maybe Xenoblades X.

My dream would be the Zelda Oracle games in the style of Link's Awakening HD.

I'm intrigued, but I hope it works. Just imagine playing in a car or on the bus and you hit a bump and it just launches the switch. Also you could make regular joy cons compatible by selling magnet adapters.

Look, I'm still going to play it, but in regards to the 30 FPS cap...why?

@Aurumonado There's even more to it. It's not that Nintendo wouldn't allow them to use Samus and Link (they were only going to be available on the Wii version). However, the demo that the devs brought to Nintendo was on PS2 hardware. Nintendo threw a fit over that fact.

Here's hoping it's good since my wife is a huge LotR fan, but it really needs to do something to set itself apart from all the other cozy life sims on the switch.

I also hope the Switch's successor can get FFXIV. I love playing it on my PC, but being able to play it wherever would be worth the cost (though not the cost of a Steam Deck).

I really hope they reach out to Monolith Soft to help with building a better open world. I loved Legends Arceus, they just need to iron out the issues.

Metroid Prime 4 fans: Those are rookie numbers.

10 years? I'm old, Gandalf.

Okay, i’m excited but why so damn early? At first I thought it made sense if the concert was happening in Japan, but it’s pre-recorded. Why not release it at a time that more people can experience it together?

I miss the score bonuses that were in up to Brawl. You could get bonuses for things but it would also let you know things about your playstyle (Bird of Prey meant you only attacked in the air, for example). It was a fun thing to look at after a match.

Good, there were WAY too many games last year from Square Enix. And most of them RPGs. They cannibalized their own sales by targeting the same demographics over and over again.

Something I think a lot of people forget about Golden Sun is that in terms of RPGs, it was a huge step into the RPG genre for kids of a certain age raised on Nintendo. You’d been through two generations of Pokemon on game boy and were probably growing out of it. The N64 didn’t have much in the way of RPGs (at least nothing noteworthy). Golden Sun dropped at the right time for those kids looking for something to take them deeper down the RPG rabbit hole.

Finally my profile pic pays off.

"Happy Anniversary! Here's some screenshots of some Mother 3 artwork and info about the characters. But you don't get to play it."

I’d really love for an HD port of the Wii version of punchout. I dug it up the other day and it was pretty damn fun.

I kind of forgot I submitted this. Thanks for the feature! Merry Christmas!

Sephiroth’s was so out of left field. I had no idea who it was for until the music started playing. But then the hype train was going full steam ahead.

Nintendo loves their star power (no pun intended), but I really think Link, if not Zelda as well, should be played by an unknown actor. I do like Mark Strong as Ganondorf.

Maybe we'll have a repeat of the SNES CD-Rom add on debacle. Nintendo will announce they're partnering with Sony, then will suddenly pivot to a different company, then Sony will go and make their own movie anyway.

I loved the mailbag sections of magazines so thank you for bringing this back.

In regards to the indies, I just recently read blood sweat and pixels, and with the amount of work that indie developers put into their game, I would understand if they didn’t want to do a sequel. They also may just not have any more ideas for another game, as they put everything they had into the first.

In regards to N64 sports games. To me, that was the golden age of sports games. NFL Blitz, Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey, etc. Unfortunately, around the turn of the millennium, publishers started to use “fun” and “realistic” interchangeably, and outside of a few outliers, we’ve lost that over the top arcade action that I loved.

It's probably the music issue. I don't think its to say that the Switch 2 isn't coming, but they'd want time to build hype before it is announced, and the holidays are not the time to do that.

"If you're wondering how he eats and sleeps, and other science facts, just repeat to yourself 'It's just a show, I should really just relax.' "

@EaglyBird Seems like Nintendo has no interested in running all these games in perpetuity. It does make sense that as new things come out, the audience for these will dwindle, but it's sad that they have no means of keeping them available, and they will become lost media.

Couldn't disagree more. Imagine having to lug around two handheld consoles on every trip if you want to play both older and newer games. Alternatively you can re-buy your entire library (at least what Nintendo will make available). That is a no for me.

Imagine what a treat New Donk City would have been if we hadn't seen it in the trailers!

Metroid Prime 5 gets announced, with a full gameplay trailer and a playable demo. Still no word on Metroid Prime 4.

I loved the ending....save for one thing... I wanted something that connects Ganondorf to Calamity Ganon. It's not even acknowledged. I was hoping it may have been pushed to DLC, but with news that nothing is in the works...I guess not.

I really thought they'd go the Darth Vader/James Earl Jones route and have his voice be done by AI in the future. Thanks for everything, Charles.

I've beaten it on Xbox and on PC, so probably not, but if it goes on sale (and the port is good quality) I might pick it up.

I feel like you could solve the Four Swords Adventure coop issue with splitscreen as well. HD widescreen displays would allow them to put 4 GBA sized screens vertically stacked alongside the 4:3 display of Four Swords Adventure onto the switch without any compromises in gameplay.

I can't stress enough how excited I am for Sea of Stars. I actually stopped playing the demo because I knew I'd seen enough to know I was in, and I want to know as little as possible going in.

My true preference is the PSP version, but I have played the pixel remaster and the 3D remake as well. I prefer sprites in general but I do see the appeal of the 3D version.

My cousin showed me it when I was younger. I was absolutely blown away. Then you realize it's just a never-ending water level and you're like, "Oh."

Can anyone tell me why Nintendo's re-releases of Mario All-Stars aren't the version that includes Super Mario World. For NSO, it makes sense because SMW is already on there (even though the All-Stars version is slightly different), but it should have been on the Wii release.

@tektite_captain Libraries usually try to sell the books they don't rent out. They don't just throw them away. However, they do this because space is a concern when it comes to physical media. The nice thing with things going digital is it's possible to save things without needing a large physical space to store it all. Games preserved digitally are the same way, they don't have to get rid of less popular things to make room for new things.
