Played the Wii and Wii U versions, and the flipping didn't really affect me.
I can remember the story, the characters and the dungeons....but not really the details. So it was never a huge problem. Twilight Princess doesn't have many iconic locations in my opinion.
I wasn't expecting it to chart even if a lot of the technical/design issues were sorted. It's not particularly appealing besides the quality of the cutscenes.
-hopefully the devs don't feel to bad, this must have been a rough few months for them
A lot of these features just crippled the 3DS OS, I really don't miss that.
The activity log/folders could be useful but the Switch is definitely focused on your most recent games - which is fair enough. ...but it doesn't help with a backlog.
@infernogott It's not ideal but it's not worth this many articles.
It was a pretty basic collection of games which weren't hard to find/play beforehand, and then we all bought it again. It's not like life will be changing on April 1st.
@TheFrenchiestFry The console versions had a PC configuration in the files. So it's been in the works for a while, they just rushed the Japanese version. Pretty sure it shipped with performance issues too, but they've been patched out along with fixes to the fusion system.
Seems like anything planned to release after Summer 2020 was delayed - P4G definitely changed some opinions at Sega.
I usually need to commit pretty early with a game. If I don't I'll usually abandon it between the 6-8 hour mark, and then I find it hard to go back to.
It's annoying because you're already a decent way into it, but starting from the beginning would feel too much like backtracking.
...but these aren't real problems, so I'll survive. Luckily the Switch menu hides a backlog pretty well
If I didn't have a Wii U then I'm sure the Switch would be more exciting, but there aren't enough "new games" that are interesting me at the moment.
Slowing down Wii U development made 2017/2018 really good for the Switch lineup, so hopefully those teams will have new games in the next year or two. They're running out of Wii U games anyway, they can't keep it up forever
@TheLightSpirit I guess it's harder because Europe tries to have the same release dates...but it's so many countries! Hopefully they sort it out soon, these look decent.

Re: New Animal Crossing Build-A-Bear Character Arriving This Summer
If it's going to look like the first two then don't bother, it's a bit creepy compared to the other versions.
Re: Talking Point: A Digital-Only E3 Makes Sense, But In-Person Events Are The Goal
I think the hype of E3 isn't what it used to be, and without that it's just an hour or two of commercials.
At this point I prefer a few Nintendo Directs throughout the year instead
Re: Rumour: Evidence Of A "New" Nintendo Switch Dock Supposedly Datamined In System Update 12.0.0
If I really wanted 4K I would have bought any other console. I wouldn't refuse it but it's really not a priority.
I'll just focus on what is currently announced, Nintendo always has their own plans and I'll go along with the ride.
Re: Universal Studios Japan Forced To Limit Visitors Weeks After Super Nintendo World's Grand Opening
It's a shame for the people that don't get in....but a theme park with less people is ideal!
Covid isn't great, but I will miss the empty public spaces.

I wasn't expecting it to chart even if a lot of the technical/design issues were sorted. It's not particularly appealing besides the quality of the cutscenes.

Re: Feature: Zelda: Spirit Tracks Finally Gave The Princess A Crucial Role To Play
I definitely played this at the right age, I didn't have a huge knowledge of games or 3D graphics so it was magical.
Didn't enjoy as much when I revisited it...but it's still good! Just hard to live up to other Zelda games.
Re: Square Enix Is Shutting Down Its Dragon Quest Card Game This July
@anoyonmus They need news, and you cared enough to comment on it. I'd say they managed their job.
Re: Ubisoft Is Making A Film About A Female Video Game Reviewer Who's "Unlucky In Love"
I know cinemas have complained that they have no movies to reopen with....but hopefully this isn't the one.
Re: Nintendo Partners With Superstar K-Pop Group TWICE In New Switch Promotion
A Switch advert with people I've heard of!? Well done Nintendo.
...but those girls release two albums/four singles a year, they don't have time for Animal Crossing.
Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Getting A Suspicious Amount Of 10/10 Metacritic User Reviews
This game is just sad at this point, can we forget about it already? 😅
-the cutscenes have some really nice renders though! You can see where the time and money went...
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo 3DS Features That Should Really Be On Switch

Re: Random: Fan Builds Program That Lets Switch Joy-Con Play Music Using HD Rumble
Build a Joy Con that doesn't drift and then we'll talk
But seriously, who knew that HD rumble sounds like a duck playing the kazoo? Wild stuff...
Re: Reminder: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light Disappears Very Soon
@nhSnork They get completely different games, it's not even the same app. Pretty sure they have a Famicom one instead.
Re: UK Charts: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Sees Huge Sales Spike Ahead Of Its Removal From Stores This Week
I'm not surprised, they've really been pushing the advertising for the past couple of weeks.
I'll be happy to get this whole 3D All Stars situation finished to be honest.
Re: Switch Exclusive Project Triangle Strategy Aiming For Around 50 Hours Of Gameplay
They could definitely streamline the game a little, even in cutscenes.
At least they released the demo and seem to listen. I'm sure it will improve after another year of development.
Re: Talking Point: Should It Be Easier To Customise A Nintendo Switch?
I'd rather keep my consoles clean and simple. I'm not going to turn something expensive into a DIY project.
....but that keyboard is amazing, can't go wrong with a blue/pink gradient 👌
Re: Balan Wonderworld's Final Boss Fight Could Potentially Trigger Epileptic Seizures
Well at least something exciting might happen while you play it, it looks like a trainwreck.
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection Includes Sigma Editions Because The Originals Were Unsalvageable
We can't help that our games and consoles will eventually fail, but you would hope that a developer could keep the source files
It's a shame that lots of people will have spent years working on something that was eventually lost. Especially when remasters are so common now.
Re: Anniversary: Nintendo 3DS Launched Ten Years Ago Today In Europe
I find it hard to return to after getting a Switch, but it was a great little system.
Hopefully the Switch will get a library of JRPGs like the 3DS...
Re: Cozy Grove, The Animal Crossing-Inspired Island Life Game, Makes Its Home On Switch In April
Definitely looks like a cute version of Don't Starve, but something does seem slightly off.
Hopefully they release more trailers.
Re: Talking Point: Are There Too Many Harvest Moon-Likes On The Market?
I see a lot of these games, but people only talk about the same two or three.
I guess it's trendy at the moment for indies -Stardew Valley was a huge success.
Re: There's Still One Way To Get Super Mario 3D All-Stars' Digital Version After 31st March
I'm really looking forward to April now, this is just trolling at this point.
Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Gets Second Crossover Event With Hello Kitty And Sanrio
New Horizons only just got the original Sanrio set...and it's already out of date
Re: Disney Art Academy Is Being Removed From The 3DS eShop At The End Of March
I think I'll survive
Managed to get 3D All Stars and that anniversary FE game, so we're all good. But it does seem like a lot of games are being taken down on that day.
Re: Random: A Japanese CEO Is Giving Staff A Day Off To Play Monster Hunter Rise
It's like the last day of school, just sounds like nobody was going to be there anyway.
At least he gets to take the credit for it?
Re: Nintendo And Pokémon GO Dev Niantic Are Releasing A Pikmin Mobile App
Finally, the Pikmin 4 we've been waiting for
Re: Talking Point: One Year On, What's Still Missing From Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
Extra house upgrades or Gracie's furniture sets would be nice, I have bells to spend!
Re: Random: Fan-Made App Helps You Track Down Super Mario Sunshine's Pesky Blue Coins
Here before "but how will I play Super Mario Sunshine after March 31st!? The world is ending etc".
Re: A Kid Icarus: Uprising Sequel Would Be "Difficult", Says Masahiro Sakurai
Maybe let him oversee a port/remaster for the original?
He seems like he needs a break after Smash anyway
Re: Mario's 31st March Demise Gets Even Worse As Nintendo Pulls 35th-Anniversary Merch From Its Tokyo Store
@infernogott It's not ideal but it's not worth this many articles.
It was a pretty basic collection of games which weren't hard to find/play beforehand, and then we all bought it again. It's not like life will be changing on April 1st.
Re: Mario's 31st March Demise Gets Even Worse As Nintendo Pulls 35th-Anniversary Merch From Its Tokyo Store
Can't wait until April so you can all find something new to write about!
Anniversaries end, this isn't news.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster File Size Revealed
@The_Pixel_King Pretty sure it's £45 when I checked.
@SilentHunter382 I'd hope it's dual audio, didn't wait this long just so they could remove some of the audio...and use a bigger file size 😂
Re: Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster File Size Revealed
So it's 1.5GB bigger than the Japanese version? I guess there's more voice acting than I expected...
Re: Soapbox: I Somehow Bought Over $800 Of Animal Crossing Crap In One Year
For some reason I ordered a bunch of Animal Crossing amiibo before the game released (back when they were £4/5 each).
I just remember running out to collect them before my city went into lockdown...I think the journey was more exciting than what they unlocked

Re: Shin Megami Tensei III Remaster Launches This May On Switch
SEGA needs to stop delaying these games for a Steam version, and then charging us ridiculous amounts to "access it early".
It's not early, Atlus used to manage this in a few months and release a special edition as well.
Re: Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons Gets Physical Release
You're charging that much for a game which isn't long or new....and then give people a random 3 out of 5 cards?
This is all kinds of shady...
Re: Talking Point: The Problem With The X Button
I can handle the Nintendo/PlayStation layouts fine, I just struggle with the Xbox controller.
Makes PC games pretty annoying at first, but you can adjust pretty fast. Different platforms, different layouts 🤷♂️
Re: Maneater Takes A Bite Out Of Switch This May
Need to wait and see how many cuts have been made, but it's nice to see it finally come to switch.
Re: Soapbox: Life Is Strange Belongs On Switch. So Why Isn't It?
The first two games have run on the past two generations of consoles and mobile. They could definitely make it happen if they wanted to.
Not too sure about 2 or True Colours, but at least they're running at 60fps. Could always give us a 30fps version with ugly trees
Re: Animal Crossing Sanrio Amiibo Cards - Hello Kitty Items, Furniture And Villager Guide
@Mr-Fuggles777 They're being released "towards the end of March", that's all Nintendo UK has said about it.
But I'd expect them to sell out quickly
Re: Animal Crossing Sanrio Amiibo Cards - Hello Kitty Items, Furniture And Villager Guide
Look forward to ordering this stuff later today! Especially the Pompompurin set...
Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Normalise Giving Up On Games Early
I usually need to commit pretty early with a game. If I don't I'll usually abandon it between the 6-8 hour mark, and then I find it hard to go back to.

Re: Random: The Next Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Speedrun Challenge? Trying To "Blue Yourself"
I think we just need MK9, this is insane 😂
Re: Soapbox: I'm Tired Of Ports And Remakes - Where Are All Nintendo's New Ideas?
If I didn't have a Wii U then I'm sure the Switch would be more exciting, but there aren't enough "new games" that are interesting me at the moment.
Slowing down Wii U development made 2017/2018 really good for the Switch lineup, so hopefully those teams will have new games in the next year or two. They're running out of Wii U games anyway, they can't keep it up forever
Re: Video: Pokémon Fan "Fixes" Diamond And Pearl Remakes With This Slick Concept Trailer
It's a decent video, but following a few Blender tutorials isn't the same as making a game.
I'm sure the devs can see that it's underwhelming...but game development looks like a harsh business
Re: Here's A Better Look At Monster Hunter Stories 2's amiibo Figures, US Store Exclusivity Revealed
@TheLightSpirit I guess it's harder because Europe tries to have the same release dates...but it's so many countries!
Hopefully they sort it out soon, these look decent.
Re: Here's A Better Look At Monster Hunter Stories 2's amiibo Figures, US Store Exclusivity Revealed
@TheLightSpirit It only says "other regions such as Europe are yet to be confirmed", not "you will never get them because we hate you "
We have months for them to sort it out, calm down.
Re: Germany Is Considering An 18+ Rating On Video Games With Loot Boxes
Because the kids who go too far with loot boxes will never be able to get an 18+ game...
