Xbox feels like it's collapsing under the weight of its lengthy development times... I'm pretty frustrated with the lack of games over there. When BOTW2 was bumped, I was bummed, but figured fair enough, I still haven't gotten to Arceus or Kirby. When Starfield was bumped, it's like... ok. Guess it's a good thing I haven't gotten to Arceus or Kirby...
@Veggies Very true... I like to see a company take bold risks sometimes, but for me Other M throws out a little too much of what made Metroid great. I think it needed a little more of the Metroid "sauce" to connect with fans.
By chance I'm actually playing through this game for the first time right now. And I can confirm it sucks 😂 Gameplay is plodding, Wiimote useage is awkward, voice acting is rough, and the plot isn't quite clicking.
Halfway between like it and don't care. I don't display all my games, I keep the cartridges in a handy case, so it doesn't matter much to me. But I kinda like the gold banners, they feel fancy 😂
@-wc- That fails to take into account part time jobs, young people who need starter jobs, and retirees who want to work in their spare time. Not every job has to be a living, so forcing every business to pay someone the same standard of living cuts down options for both employee and employer.
@-wc- Fair enough, I don't know much about OK, I'm just skeptical about minimum wage as a one-size fits all solution to a multifaceted problem. It's fine for Google and Amazon, and maybe even a lot of medium sized businesses, but it puts an unfair burden on small businesses. I feel like at the very least it should scale with the size of the company.
@Olmectron Quite a bit if you've got other expenses... but I agree to an extent. I think software was the biggest issue. There wasn't much to pick from early on that felt "must-have." Main reason I waited until OoT 3d came out.
I spent a year saving up for a Nintendo 64 when I was 11-12, and then when I finally had enough money... I realized I couldn't afford a game. Whoops. Thankfully my parents stepped in and recognized my hard work and picked up Super Mario 64.
The Switch was my first day one console, and I have no regrets there.
Well, this sounds much worse than I was expecting... seems like it needed a few more months in the cooker. I don't care about golf but I'll wait until at least then to see if they spruce things up enough to make it worth the cost.
@HolyGeez03 No... I own both. I liked the aerial aspects but felt like the game ground to a halt every time Fox leapt out of the cockpit. I think Star Fox is best with a "less is more" approach, personally... but I'd still support a remaster if they can smooth over some of the rough edges.
I think an N64 mini is pretty unlikely... and honestly, I don't care, I own most of the best games anyway... though I'd bite if they give it something exclusive the way the SNES got Starfox 2 😂
One of my first Nintendo 64 games... would love to see it make a comeback! I remember buying an expansion pack along with... even though I didn't understand what it did at the time 😂
I have the Player's Guide for LTTP, it's awesome. Written in an in-universe style, almost reads like a story. If more modern guides were written like that, I don't think they'd have died off as quickly.
@HotGoomba I've seen iffy studios put out solid movies, when a beloved franchise was on the line. I'm not a fan of Blue Sky (at all), but thought they did a fantastic job with the Peanuts Movie.
Though I do like some Illumination movies, so maybe we just have different taste 😂
Nah, it'll be something else. Though I do think making it rhyme or compliment Breath of the Wild would make sense. We're talking about the sequel to the bestselling game in the series by an order of magnitude, so I wouldn't consider previous naming conventions. BOTW sold more than several prior Zelda games combined.
@P-Man I really like the Zelda timeline, personally. Yes, it retcons a few things, but I think they came up with creative ways to connect all the games. The amount of negativity toward it here surprised me.
That being said, I think Kirby (and Mario) work just fine without a timeline.
Seems really unwise... not just for the obvious reason, but also people are trying to clear out their backlist. No way do I want to add a new game to the shopping list right now 😂

Re: Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Dev Would "Love" To Bring The Game To Switch
The two pack and TPHD are both longshots anyway... Wind Waker is more likely. Or Grezzo's next project.
Re: Talking Point: As Switch Hardware Sales Slow, How Long Can Nintendo Delay 'Switch 2'?
Next year is too soon... I'm betting on 2024 or beyond.
Re: The Nintendo Switch Online App Now Lets You Toggle Between Light And Dark Modes
I thought light mode was obsolete since the invention of dark mode 😂

Re: Reggie Thought Metroid: Other M Would Be A 'Defining Moment' For The Franchise
@Veggies Not always the case... Metroid: Prime and BOTW were big shake-ups, and they did just fine.
Re: Reggie Thought Metroid: Other M Would Be A 'Defining Moment' For The Franchise
By chance I'm actually playing through this game for the first time right now. And I can confirm it sucks 😂 Gameplay is plodding, Wiimote useage is awkward, voice acting is rough, and the plot isn't quite clicking.
But I'm glad to here it gets better further in...
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Wanted The 3DS To Launch At $199, But Was Rebuffed
@-wc- As much as your goal is to destroy the ability for new businesses to get off the ground 😂
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Wanted The 3DS To Launch At $199, But Was Rebuffed
@-wc- But the current minimum wage laws make no distinction between part time and full time.

@-wc- I think it speaks for itself. 👍🏼
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Wanted The 3DS To Launch At $199, But Was Rebuffed
@-wc- $7.25 is the minimum wage for almost half the country.

Re: Feature: Will These 10 Classic Western RPGs Ever Come To Switch?
Ultima would be awesome... I'd go for a remaster of Ultima Underworld... as long as it's not as disastrous as the recent attempt at a revival.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Star Fox Game?
@HolyGeez03 No... I own both. I liked the aerial aspects but felt like the game ground to a halt every time Fox leapt out of the cockpit. I think Star Fox is best with a "less is more" approach, personally... but I'd still support a remaster if they can smooth over some of the rough edges.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Star Fox Game?
Best (After 64, obvs): The original
Worst: Assault or Zero... found both of them really hard to get into. The on foot missions in Assault were seriously the worst.
Re: Digital Foundry Reiterates That, No, Breath Of The Wild 2 Is "Not Too Big For Switch"
Naturally. They wouldn't announce it for a system that couldn't handle it 😂
I'm betting on 2024 for a Super Switch at the earliest.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #93 - Kirby's Dream Land
Kirby should be pink, that's all I have to say 😂
Re: Poll: Which Wii Sport Is The Best Wii Sport In Wii Sports (And Which Is The Worst)?
@JeanPaul I loved Boxing, played it more than the other sports combined. It felt more like a workout than the others to me.
Also geez, that list of Resorts sports make the new game look a little weak 😂

Re: Sonic Origins Arrives 23rd June, New Trailer And Website Are Live
Looks fun, but it's a few games shy of being worth $40 for me... will probably wait for a sale.
Re: It Looks Like Nintendo's Game Boy Emulator For Switch Online Just Leaked
I'll bet they do GB and GBC on the regular tier and GBA goes to the expansion pack.
Re: Sonic Origins Re-Emerges, Receives Rating In South Korea
@Clyde_Radcliffe Agreed... I'd rather see a BIG collection, like the Genesis Classics or Rare Replay, but for a ton of Sonic games.
Re: Random: A Novelisation For Zelda: A Link To The Past Had A Very Different Name For Link
A Zelda novel is something I've always wanted... to the point I've considered writing one myself... but not like this 😂
Re: Talking Point: If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?
I think they'll do an OLED model with a BOTW2 paint job.
Nintendo's still riding high on the current model, and there are still chip shortages, right? Switch2 seems very unlikely.

@HotGoomba I think it could be great... I'm not going to judge until I see a trailer.
Re: Looks Like Nintendo Has Been Reprinting 3DS Retail Games For A Final Hurrah
Would definitely pick up a few reprints if they come here for a decent price... still need Robobot, Ever Oasis, Kid Icarus, and Detective Pikachu...
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Delayed To Spring 2023
@themightyant I hope you're right! That would make the long wait for BOTW2 a little cheerier.
Re: New Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Footage Showcases Gnarly Master Sword
@Munchlax We normally don't see much of his face during gameplay, I'm guessing that wasn't an intentional tease.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Delayed To Spring 2023
@themightyant Assuming Starfield doesn't... you know what, I'm not going to say it.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Delayed To Spring 2023
Disappointing, but 2022 was pretty saturated. And I appreciate Nintendo's humble spirit. Release the game when it's done and not a day sooner.

Re: There's "No Clear Timeline" For Kirby's Game Stories, According To HAL Laboratory's General Director

That being said, I think Kirby (and Mario) work just fine without a timeline.
