I definitely cut my video gaming teeth on 90s JRPG's (they're still my favorite games ever), and I even really liked the PlayStation sequel to this series, SaGa Frontier, but I just couldn't get into this particular game. Maybe I set my expectations too high.
BOTW is just an amazing game. Nintendo gave the series a new body, but kept the soul & spirit in tact. I hope they continue in this direction for the next game!
If they just expand on Breath of the Wild, we've got another dynamite game. Just imagine a sequel with a few more dungeons, more enemy diversity, underwater exploration, maybe some items(like a hookshot or what have you), and you've got another GOTY.
I love Mega Man, but am completely terrible at all the games, so I'm glad to hear about the multiple difficulties, especially if there is an easy mode in the vein of Mega Man 10 (which is the first one I ever beat without game genie or save states).
Also like the idea of the weapon wheel. Hopefully they add a lot more modern elements like that. Spice up the series!
Great game, but the boss battles are just too stinkin' frustrating, especially for a puzzle game. Made my otherwise enjoyment turn to controller throwing anger.
Played it on Steam. It's a really good game with an original story and characters. It's less of platformer than you'd thing though. More of a sidescrolling shooter with platformer elements.
I've always worked in the back of my mind what I wished future Zelda games would do or become. For years, I thought I had stellar ideas. Then Breath of the Wild came out and made all my ideas seem like jokes.
I absolutely love the game and hope they go forward with the current style/engine. Just think of the possibilities if they improve upon what is already amazing.

Re: Last Year's N64 Trademark Has Finally Been Approved, N64 Mini On The Way?
I was gonna suggest this was for the Switch Online, but it looks like 30 people beat me to it!
Re: Nintendo Reveals Upcoming NES Game Releases For Switch Online Service
Wario's Woods!
Re: Luigi's Mansion 3 Will Be Haunting The Switch Next Year
@PixelViking64 Same.
Hope they drop the whole missions thing from 2 also. It really irritated me that you had to keep coming in and out of the gameplay unnecessarily.
Re: Take On Block Man In The Mega Man 11 Demo, Now Live On The Switch eShop

@JaxonH I'm in a similar boat as you, although I started off with Mega Man 4.
Re: Switch Physical Game Sales Increase As Octopath Traveler Crowned July's Best-Selling Game
I'm pleasantly surprised by Octopath's success. It's a really good game and I hope it gives Ol' Square the nerve to release more like it.

Re: Hollow Knight Sold Over A Quarter Of A Million Copies On Switch In Two Weeks

One question though: can digital game saves transfer over to physical?

A truly excellent Metroidvania, among so many already great Metroidvanias.

Re: Review: Romancing SaGa 2 (Switch eShop)

@OneArmedGiant This.
Re: Feature: Memorable Games of 2017 - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
BOTW is just an amazing game. Nintendo gave the series a new body, but kept the soul & spirit in tact. I hope they continue in this direction for the next game!
Re: Poll: Surprise! A New Zelda Is In Development, But What Do You Want From It?
If they just expand on Breath of the Wild, we've got another dynamite game. Just imagine a sequel with a few more dungeons, more enemy diversity, underwater exploration, maybe some items(like a hookshot or what have you), and you've got another GOTY.
Re: Details Emerge on Mega Man 11 Difficulty Options, a Weapon Wheel and More
I love Mega Man, but am completely terrible at all the games, so I'm glad to hear about the multiple difficulties, especially if there is an easy mode in the vein of Mega Man 10 (which is the first one I ever beat without game genie or save states).

Great game, but the boss battles are just too stinkin' frustrating, especially for a puzzle game. Made my otherwise enjoyment turn to controller throwing anger.
Re: Mega Man 11 Confirmed For Switch In 2018
Woooooo! Life long fan of the series, so I'm especially excited!
The style and animation are a bit off, but if the game has a whole year before it comes out, this must be early stage footage.
Re: Owlboy Will Swoop Onto the Switch on 13th February
Played it on Steam. It's a really good game with an original story and characters. It's less of platformer than you'd thing though. More of a sidescrolling shooter with platformer elements.
Re: We Almost Got Golf Story On The Wii U
Golf Story is excellent: it's fun, funny, and surprisingly deep. I hope to see more from these guys.
Re: Soapbox: Breath Of The Wild Is Amazing, But Is It The 3D Zelda That Enthusiasts Expected?
I've always worked in the back of my mind what I wished future Zelda games would do or become. For years, I thought I had stellar ideas. Then Breath of the Wild came out and made all my ideas seem like jokes.
I absolutely love the game and hope they go forward with the current style/engine. Just think of the possibilities if they improve upon what is already amazing.
Re: Critically Acclaimed Title, Inside, Is Coming to the Nintendo Switch
This is definitely one of the best indie games on Steam. It's nice and spooky, and very surreal. I would gladly buy this again for Switch!
