The fact that it's supposedly a year or so away and we still don't have a name for BOTW2 is a little concerning... though I'll admit I can't remember when we got the name for Breath of the Wild.
I always had login and loading issues with Nintendo's mobile games... they take forever to load, they always need downloads, so eventually I just gave up.
But I hope the game does well... I'd like another traditional Pikmin.
I tend to be amenable to Nintendo's strange business practices, but... no. This is a big mistake. Virtual Console wasn't broken, Nintendo needs to bring it back. All they have to do to justify a more expensive online service is offer QoL improvements like party chat.
NES was the first console I ever played. Nintendo 64 was the first I ever owned. I saved for a year when I was 11 to buy one. Super Mario Bros was my first game... and Super Mario 64 the first one I bought.
@jamesRainbowBoy Agreed. It was fine at first but it's getting tiresome... it's not Nintendo news, and it's not even Valve news anymore. They're just chasing that sweet, sweet SEO.
I picked up Fusion! The announcement of Dread inspired me to FINALLY finish Super Metroid and get going. It was the last game I needed to complete my collection too
I got the original model with Super Mario 64 in 97. I saved for a YEAR because I was 11 and had no job. My parents took mercy on me and paid for Mario when I could afford the console. They went out and bought both for me one morning, so I woke up to that lovely cloud packaging. That was a great day.
I struggle with the Xbox controller the most. It being backwards from the standard trips me up. Playstation I could in a different category since enough of the buttons are different.
People were upset about The Wind Waker because it didn't match the Space World demo, not Twilight Princess. Twilight Princess came out three years later as a response to the backlash.

Re: EA Boss Says NTFs Will Be An "Important Part" Of The Games Industry's Future
If we all ignore NFTs, maybe they'll go away.
Re: Rumour: Seth Rogen Will Apparently Star In A Solo Donkey Kong Movie
I'm tentatively looking forward to the Mario movie, but Seth Rogen as DK is a hard pass. I find him interminably obnoxious.
Re: Poll: Mario Party Superstars Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Eventually, but full price for a remix of 20 year old games feels a little silly. I would have preferred they just remaster MP2.

Re: Gallery: Feast Your Eyes On Metroid Dread's Special Edition
Tempting, but it's $30 more and I'd have to give up my Metroid coffee mug π
Re: Poll: The Nintendo Switch OLED Is Out Today, Are You Getting One?
I plan to wait and see if they do a special variant for BOTW2.
Re: Poll: Metroid Dread Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Waiting for my copy to arrive with my mug... planning to drink coffee and play Metroid tonight after work π
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!
Meh... never got into these games, so this means nothing to me π
Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
Another Zelda character would be my top choice, maybe Impa??
But of the given options, I think Crash is most likely, though I voted for Rayman, and wouldn't mind Waluigi finally being given his due...
Re: Super Mario 64 LEGO '?' Block Revealed, Out In October
@HamatoYoshi Agreed... I thought for a second they were finally doing traditional minifigures...
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Console Has The Best Start-Up Sound?

Re: Review: WarioWare: Get It Together! - More Magnificent Microgame Mayhem
Great review. Probably not day one for me, but I'm looking forward to playing this one with my little sister.
@PJOReilly I think there's a typo in the Cons list, shouldn't that be Wario Cup?
Re: LEGO's Next Super Mario Set Is A Huge Question Block, Although What's Inside Is A Mystery

Re: Townscaper Is Out Now On Switch eShop
@StefanN Ok, thanks! Maybe I will try both π
Re: Townscaper Is Out Now On Switch eShop
I'm curious how this compares to Islanders. I want one, but not both π
Re: Reminder: Space Invaders Invincible Collection Launches Today On Switch eShop In The West
Yeah... no. I'd love to get this for like $10 or so... not paying anywhere close to $60 lol.
Re: Community: What Was Your First Ever Nintendo Game?
NES was the first console I ever played. Nintendo 64 was the first I ever owned. I saved for a year when I was 11 to buy one. Super Mario Bros was my first game... and Super Mario 64 the first one I bought.
Re: Nintendo Switch Cheat Device Speeds Up PokΓ©mon Shiny Hunting, And It's Proving To Be Controversial
The cheats for Fortnite sound much sketchier to me... playing online against cheaters is so frustrating.
Re: Feature: Fire Emblem And 8 Other Nintendo Franchises That Need A TV Series
An anime based on the Zelda manga would be nice. As others noted, nothing from Hollywood, thanks.
Re: Random: 'Switch Vs Steam Deck' Memes Are A Thing Now, Apparently
@jamesRainbowBoy Agreed. It was fine at first but it's getting tiresome... it's not Nintendo news, and it's not even Valve news anymore. They're just chasing that sweet, sweet SEO.
Re: Techland Is Reportedly Bringing Dying Light: Platinum Edition To Switch This October
One of the best co-op games ever. Loved this one on Xbox. Cross-play would be nice...

Super excited for this game. I preordered from Walmart for the goodies. I hope it arrives on time.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - A Remaster That Truly Soars
@MadeOutOfCake I never had a bit of trouble. SS's not my favorite, but the motion controls were flawless for me.
Re: After Months Of 'Switch Pro' Rumours, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Nintendo Switch ο»ΏOLED Model

Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch ο»ΏOLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
@Radbot42 Same. I'll wait and see of they do a BOTW2 variant. I really hope the docks are interchangeable.

Re: Anniversary: The Nintendo 64 Launched 25 Years Ago Today
I got the original model with Super Mario 64 in 97. I saved for a YEAR because I was 11 and had no job. My parents took mercy on me and paid for Mario when I could afford the console. They went out and bought both for me one morning, so I woke up to that lovely cloud packaging. That was a great day.
Re: Where To Pre-Order The Limited Edition Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Con
Already gone from Walmart.
Re: There's A Zelda Game & Watch Coming This Christmas
Best Buy has them up now!! I just got my pre-order in.
They'll probably go quick. All the Skyward Sword stuff sold out before I could get my wallet into the CD drive...
Re: There's A Zelda Game & Watch Coming This Christmas
@Johnion True but I still want to pre-order... it may not matter but it'll make me feel better XD
Re: There's A Zelda Game & Watch Coming This Christmas
@garfreek Good point XD

@Beatrice I think that review was written by Alex...
Re: Hori's Launching New Mario And Zelda-Themed GameCube-Style Controllers For Switch
@RupeeClock Can confirm my last (and only) PowerA controller broke. So far I prefer PDP, though my Zelda D-pad Joy-Con from Hori wasn't bad.
Re: Talking Point: The Problem With The X Button
I struggle with the Xbox controller the most. It being backwards from the standard trips me up. Playstation I could in a different category since enough of the buttons are different.
Re: Memory Pak: Taking My First Starter PokΓ©mon All The Way To The Elite Four
