Don't forget, this was made by ILCA.. They were capable of so much more than Pokemon Company let them do with BDSP.

I was hoping they would just update Scarlet/Violet to run properly on Switch 2, either with a free update or bundling the game + DLC together so we can properly enjoy this latest gen. They don't need to rush the next gen out so soon.

This game has much more advanced lighting and reflection effects, having those and a stable frame rate on the switch's outdated hardware isn't possible

I want to like this game, but it seems like even compared to the two entries on the Wii, there is even less to do. It seems like a novelty that will wear out quickly compared to what was offered in the previous entries unfortunately.

Finally, yes!! This one was so much better than Runner 3. I've been playing this on my steam deck lately but it'll be great to have on Switch also! And Martinet did an amazing job as the narrator, as he always does!

People talk about the content of the game being controversial to localize, which it is by Western standards, but also the music samples and references many globally popular songs which may also be the problem. You wouldn't think musical references would be an issue but somewhat recent lawsuits have set a bad precedent which probably makes Nintendo lawyers nervous

For people saying so, this mod does not require piracy to use. You can rip purchased game cartridges to your console and then mod the game.

In prior years they seemed to not have any limits on acceptance speeches, and some went uncomfortably long. I definitely noticed them rushing everyone off the stage this year, not just Aonuma. They definitely over-corrected. For a show about celebrating game creators and artists, they should actually give them a moment to speak instead of rushing them away for more ads.

Please do NOT be another mobile gatcha. I got really into the last one, Echoes of Mana, logged in every day since launch, before they shut it down in less than a year without even concluding the story. These are insulting at this point. Give us a real game with an actual conclusion.

While I think they will likely do an original Zelda story, if a game is adapted, Ocarina of Time would be the best starting point. Future 3D Zelda games all have a sort of connection to OOT, if they adapt Majoras Mask, Wind Waker or Twilight Princess, having seen OOT will help strengthen those narratives as well.

Still hoping they add a CRT filter like the one in Mania!

I love it! Way more expressive and less like a creepy blow-up doll how she usually looks!

I'm glad people are speaking about this. I love and hate different aspects of Wind Waker HDs shading. It seems in "natural light" sources, like sunlight and moonlight, the shading looks beautiful and still cel-shaded. But when Link or other characters are in the shade or other light sources like torches, the cel-shadig disappears and ruins the art style. It's so strange because BOTW and TOTK both did Wind Waker-like cel sharing and everyone loved it. I feel Nintendo slightly changed WWHD's shading out of fear the west still didn't like it, but the world has come around to appreciate Wind Waker's shading. I hope the future ports retain the HD versions shading in sunlight/moonlight for all areas, and distinct circles in light from torches, etc.

Whoa! I love the glasses free 3D of the 3DS, having a higher resolution and better quality screen would be amazing. I am definitely keeping an eye on this!

As Tirza commented, the google translation may be a little off. The final sentence regarding the IP:
これを機にIPの復活を心から楽しみにしております。
I feel this is better translated as "I look forward to the opportunity for a revival of this IP from the bottom of my heart."
The kanji 復活 does indeed mean revival/resurrection, but it is proceeded by 機 meaning chance/opportunity. I read this as him being hopeful for the future, but not definitively stating anything will happen. I am not a fluent speaker however and have been studying as a hobby over many years.

I always saw Paper Mario: TTYD as having a diorama look, but not everything was made of paper. Some was wood, some was clay, but now, everything is paper craft and I am not really a fan. It takes away any variety the game had and makes things look more flat and boring in my opinion. I am still glad many more people will get to experience this game and it's story.

I love Paper Mario - Thousand Year Door so much, but I am still adjusting to this new art style / lighting and shading style. I have been playing the GC original in Dolphin on my Steam Deck with HD texture packs, widescreen mods and uncensor mods and it looks incredible. I am not a fan of this new lighting.

Also the music did not need to be changed, it was perfect as it was.

I would play as Yoshi if I could disable the easy mode!!

I still hope they do a Switch port / remaster of Xenoblade X!

There's no reason the GB and GBA Pokemon games aren't here. I have already injected the roms into the official GB and GBA NSO apps, and the games run perfectly, local wireless included. Pokemon Company prefers to starve and drip feed their fans.

That statement sounds like they don't have any immediate ideas or plans. They are considering how to begin developing a new game. It sounds like no development or even ideation phase has begun.

No wonder Microsoft has been wanting to put their games on Nintendo platforms.

Nobody else is mentioning how Mario has slowly adopted some of Sonic's traits over the years to become cooler. Running with arms behind him in the New series, and now the side-mouth smirk.

Gameplay looks very fun and I definitely want to support the Sonic Mania devs, but not really feeling the character design.

Does anyone know if this version has the Wii pointer controls?

I understand the upload restrictions, but I like to take screenshots and I was frustrated it was banned during the whole last semester of the game. I couldn't save images of my late game builds. Not well implemented

Why wasn't this in a Nintendo direct? A game without franchise power isn't going to pull in a crowd out of nowhere.

Nice, some awesome classics and how I experienced these Mario platformers. Though nowadays I tend to play them with patches that restore the original color palettes, these were changed to be way more washed out to accommodate the original GBA's non-lit screen..

I liked the intrigue of this intro, but I feel like it had less cutscenes than we've seen in the trailers? Like Zelda and Link venturing in with that pack animal, crossing the bridge and showing the luminous stones. Maybe those appear later in flashbacks?

I wonder if this is more for marketing, because the game is coming out in just a couple months. I personally liked the challenging strategy of Pikmin 1 with the time limit. Needing to make every day count and complete objectives. Of course having difficulty options in your game is the best choice for all.

Okay, finally a piece of news that makes me more interested in the game! I wonder how many there will be

My immediate thought was "Wow, how relatable.. Rich CEO learns to smile again". I mean did you guys see his house??

I admit I haven't felt too excited about exploring the same world with presumably the same music and presentation, but I am a huge Zelda fan so I want to give it a chance. Really hoped for features like underwater exploration (like most 3D Zeldas) different aerial poses and combat while skydiving (like the patents showed) and animal taming (like Wolf Link Amiibo) but it seems they are going all in with the crafting instead. I hope it's more fun than it looks so far.

I still believe Pokemon are in stasis whenever they're in the PC or a Poke Ball. Which is a little messed up, their only existence is to be released to battle, and then frozen back in time.

In the anime, James had a carnivine as a kid, and he found the old PokeBall in his mansion a decade later, and it was fine. You'd think it'd have starved to death or something if it was conscious in there the whole time.

I do like how the manga shows they shrink down and look out at the world from within their PokeBall. Feels more like they are there journeying with you.

This review is very out of touch with the NSO version, praising features like the transfer pak and GB tower which are entirely absent from the NSO release. Not a good time to re-use an old irrelevant review.

As much as I like the idea of Bowser singing an or to Peach, the song itself was cringy and obnoxious

I really enjoyed the visual style and animation of this movie! I don't think Illumination is suited for all of Nintendo's franchises, but I think they could do an awesome job on Kirby or Animal Crossing!

I've loved this series and played all entries, but this entry felt so dull to me. So much of the furniture sets were cut in favor of crafting and customization. I've never cared about games like minecraft, which felt like who this catered too. And the villagers barely spoke before they started repeating themselves. Dialogue and writing in Nintendo games use to be witty, charming and funny. This one felt so lifeless. The villagers were just another collectible.

Whoa, unlike all the Persona anniversary events, they're actually doing something outside of Japan?? I might have to try and make this one!

I like the idea of a workout companion app! Giving suggested exercises based on your goals, a timer for cool downs in between reps and gamifying getting regular exercises in and logging them! I'd love that!

I hope this means some of their best 3DS titles will be ported to switch such as the Etrian Odyssey collection was. I'd love to see all of the SMT games (Devil Survivor 1 + 2, strange journey, 4 and 4A) and Persona Q 1 + 2!

Of course, they confirm no Transfer Pak support for Stadium when The Pokemon Company could have totally let it happen.

Thank you for sharing your story and also educating us on how color blindness can look and present itself to different people. I was glad to see this as an option in Metroid Prime when I checked the settings! This is definitely an area Nintendo has been far behind in. I wonder if color blindness is not very well understood in Japan? With their "don't stand out / don't rock the boat" culture, I wonder if it goes undiagnosed in many people.

Nice selection, but realistically I don't think we will get licensed games like Harry Potter on the service. But yes to Super Mario Land, Donkey Kong GB and the Pokemon games. They are all no-brainers!

Unfortunate this remaster doesn't get the care it deserves. The sequel, Dawn of the New World has much better graphics and character models, not these chibi characters. It would have been nice for this version to finally be updated visually to look like the sequel and closer to the anime cutscenes that play throughout.

While I definitely agree that Skyward Sword was the most romantic relationship between Link and Zelda, I think I really liked the relationship and development shown between them in Breath of the Wild. Link being silent is canon - Zelda first feels ignored and frustrated that he won't give her the time of day and assumed he must look down on her, as she looks down on herself. But reading through her diary, you find they actually have a true conversation and she learns why he keeps himself silent. The Japanese version of the game also has all the shiekah slate quest entries written without any pronouns (no You or I) so it could be interpreted that the lines are written by Link himself (JP "I want to see her smile with my own two eyes again.." vs US "You must save her from her burden") showing that there is some sort of a relationship between them and Link's feelings on her and many other things. Localization is difficult and Japanese is already a vague language with thigs left up for interpretation.

Edit: I also understand why people may say Zelda is unlikeable or whiny in this game, the english dub and changes in script did not do her justice in my opinion.

They should eventually add the various outfits from Mario Kart Tour as additional skins for the characters!

Also as others are saying, it's pretty scummy that Pokemon games don't allow NSO save backup but instead require you to pay Pokemon company directly for backing up your Pokemon.

Oh my god I somehow forgot we have sci-fi Oak in this game.

Yes! I loved how this made Smash into a 2-player co op sodescroller. So much fun! Though I'm sure with all the playable characters the big testing might get very unwieldy.
