Uhh.. pretty sure it's the other way around. I never use the handheld mode except for when I'm taking a crap, multitasking, or at work for my breaks. 85-90% of the time I'm playing docked because it looks better, feels better and sounds better with my home theater system.
In fact. I think that's why the lite was created. A lot of people I know dont even want the lite but had to get it due to the shortage a couple months back.
Thanks for this. I wanted to find the memories before I fight Ganon. I've been having trouble locating them and already input like 110 hours into the game.
Not familiar with the series but any addition to the switch would've been great. I've been hearing a lot about it ever since zelda came out so if its anything like zelda, I'd pick it up if it made its way to the switch.
Well, I mean leading up to the reward already is expanding your inventory. so it doesnt really matter what you get but it would have been cool if you could sell the golden turd for a large sum of rupees
Definitely getting the Pad controller and protector. I don't want to spend $80 for a switch pro controller. Damn thing costs more than the video game itself
@bizcuthammer What if you're allowed to draw your stages? As well as building them for people who dont draw. It will utilize the game pad. Id love that
i hate to ask, but can someone spare a code? ive been platinum continuously for years and i never got any codes for anything special nintendo has ever done... if you are willing to share, my email is [email protected]
@snoox Both. the tutorials are really good, but this is being spoken by someone who already makes comics. I still think its pretty easy to understand if you're new
Why does this matter? it not like you can read text very well on the comic application when the comic is zoomed out to default. Besides, they're opening a gallery for it soon so it shouldn't really matter
@ikki5 The Wii U had more gameplay, screenshots, and it was featured more in directs and announcements, it got the gamecube controller reveal, and more of its stages were shown off more than the 3DS stages. The wii U version over shadowed the 3DS version, At that time, more people wanted the Wii U version because the 3DS version didn't get much attention. The type of attention I'm talking about is visibility. The fact that it's being seen and talked about. Now ever since the 3DS version had a mode exclusive for the 3DS, (Smash run) It began to get attention and gave details about the mode. Why? Because the 3DS version is almost complete in development so they want to advertise it as best as they can before releasing it. Especially since this is the first ever hand held smash bros
The Wii U version will most likely get extra modes as well. which will probably be better. I doubt they'll let the 3DS have all the fun stuff. They still have a lot of time left for announcing things for the Wii U, so let the 3DS version bask in the glory for now. It's just their way of giving information of two of the same games on different systems with (for the most part) different gameplay modes.
@ikki5 the Wii U use to get way more attention than the 3DS first. we only use to get one picture every now and then, but most of the news was for the Wii U version, Now they're focusing on the 3DS on more, It's only fair because that one releases earlier
@Falchion The "For" in it is important. Take the online battle modes for example. "FOR GLORY!" It's a play on words sort of. the people who like the 3DS version fight "For 3ds!" And people who like the Wii U version fight "For Wii U!" it's common use of the word when people are fighting for something they like. not to mention the 3DS box art looks like they're charging to fight as a team.
@Hy8ogen I know right. I got my first working cell phone at the age of 19... when I was able to hold a steady job. Now that I have it, I didn't feel like I needed it back then.
Yeah.. It could have a separate mode for it, or some sort of online battle mode. where you can roam Hyrule field (if this is hyrule) and search for other players to take down. or an enemy brawl mode where you explore dungeons together and fight the boss of that temple (whose attack and defense power is increased. even a boss battle mode sounds cool .
However, very game has its own style. There are games fit for multiplayer and games fit for single. Legend of Zelda is one of those games. Sure Some multiplayer games are fun, but not everyone wants to play with everyone else. It's not disconcerting. It's just how it is. For all these years. Zelda games have been single player for the most part. It's best known for being single player, and most people didn't find four swords to be all that great. definitely not console tier.
If anything is disconcerting, it is making a game multiplayer which has been single player for the majority of it's life time. this is the kind of change that makes or breaks a game and which the Wii U really depends on.
I see where you're coming from, but I'm sorry. I don't want a single player experience to be a multplayer one. I want this game because I want it. not to share it with someone. In my opinion, It's worth more to play it alone. I don't want a game that depends on having a bud or a sibling to play with you. I have enough multiplayer games as is.
If people want to make something multiplayer, then I suggest making a spin off of it, like the mario series. Or what they're doing with hyrule warriors. Don't ruin the experience for the majority of people who like to experience a Zelda game the way it's supposed to.
Multi playable characters is fine as long as link has the most play time, and that in a certain point in the game, you get to choose whoever you want for as long as you want.
I'm really against having a co-op mode, however, i'd be willing to accept it if there is a separate mode/short story or side quests that allow or require co-op mode. and also, integrate co-op mode for single player but make its importance to the story minimum, e.g. Only use co-op mode for collecting treasure chests containing rupees, heart containers, and other somewhat essential quest items. players would have to work together to get to the chests an into secret dungeons and caves. but this shouldn't be a necessary option to complete the came. I still want Zelda to be a single play experience. If not, then I hope they do this right.
I don't see what's so bad about including Mii characters. They have just as much potential as any other character has. I say, you feel having Mii characters in Smash Bros abuses gameplay, then you must either have low tolerance or aren't that good in Smash Bros. Just like meta knight in brawl. He was a spam character, sure, but I didn't complain, because to me (And probably many others). He was an easy character to kill, and his attacks don't land decisive blows.
@ChessboardMan I'm gonna say that there are more to come. Since we have to wait till october, which is about 4 months from now. we should get a few more reveals. we had 3 character announcements in 2 days, I wont be surprised if we have another tomorrow, then that just leaves nintendo direct to handle character reveals for the upcoming months, Or even if Sakurai reveals them on his own time. like he did with Ike (I think.. I think he made spontaneous reveal before.)
@Hunter-D I agree with you, I got pikmin 3 as my free game with MK8, it was the only game worth getting because I had WWHD and NSMBU, and I didn't want Wii Party U because That's usually a family game and im more of a solo gamer. So I got pikmin 3 and assumed it wouldn't be good, but at LEAST entertaining as I liked the visuals. But As I played, it got interesting very fast. I've been playing it non stop. probably an equal amount of time as i've played mario kart 8. I am already what I believe to be the final stage of the game. I don't want it to end..
they should limit you from posting only when you post consecutively more than 3 times within one minute. but im glad they at least reduced it to 2 minutes and increased character count to balance it out.
I updated my Wii U and shortly after, my Wii froze and made a loud alarm like sound. I had to unplug the system. It was weird and startled me for a bit because I thought my Wii U would brick or something. It's okay now and I've had no problems since then
getting the physical copy of Mario cart. the past few games i've been getting digital downloads because i didn't live near a game store while I was in college, im taking advantage of this
@sasoriobi 10 bucks? How long are you willing to wait? 10 years?
SSBB was released in 2006 and it's value is still at least $20 in official video game stores, pawn and thrift shops, and online. What's the point of having a WiiU if you're going to disregard 1st party games as if they're rip offs?
As for attacks, They should allow strong attacks(Left/Right + A) be to swing the tail in a full spin
or just pressing A to do a weak tail whip. similar to the fan item. It'll be like all hand items, when you grab them, the A button becomes different attacks,
like the beam sword, you have a weak swing and a strong swing. in the Super leaf's case, you'll have a weak whip, and a strong full spin.
