Unlike the stages shown in previous updates, this one seems to be a lot less polished art-wise. Clearly a very early build of it, I'd like to think. Music was good.

It's a fitting, emotionally charged end for the game. I'm glad they don't feel the need to add any more DLC to BotW - it shows that they don't intend to milk the game pointlessly and that what they did release, they felt was truly relevant and worthwhile.

Man, at this rate everything will be on sale except for the one game I truly want... aka Thumper.

One of my favorite people writing here. Best of luck on your future endeavors!

I might give it a go.

I may get it at some point, but it's not a priority for me right now, with so much already on my plate. It's great to hear that the port has turned out so well, though, since a couple friends backed the original Kickstarter project and were looking forward to this.

Yeah, the beginning bit in the trailer is pretty much the game's opening scene.

Out of those I only have Zelda, but I'll probably buy Mario Odyssey sooner or later.

Bought this in a heartbeat. I beat the first world and it's a lot of fun so far. I do enjoy SMB's gameplay style better and it will probably stay my favorite platformer forever, but I will have plenty of good times with The End is Night regardless.

@SuperCharlie78 Both, apparently.

Singing quite a different tune compared to a few months back.

Initially, I read the Conclusion section and felt like a good game was being rejected just for being insanely difficult - then I read the rest and realized it was being rejected for being unfairly difficult, which makes for an artificial and rarely satisfying experience... this coming from someone who completed two Ghosts 'n' Goblins playthroughs for that true ending and left feeling just... tired.

Now, obviously starting to read a review from its conclusion is not the way to go, but as we all well know, most users will read just that, if not simply scroll down to the score and move on. So I'd suggest a mention in there as well of the poor controls/physics and unfair enemy spawns/jumps, because it honestly gives the wrong impression if you don't read the entire piece.

It looks awesome. I don't agree with the complaints so far at all.

Can't wait to see what they'll bring to the eShop on April 1st.

@hadlee73 A little under 8.5 billion dollars.

Sounds cool, if done right it should be an awesome experience. Also, I need to finish Her Story, since my laptop dying back then put a lid on that.

One of my two most anticipated upcoming titles for the system (the other one being Fire Emblem).

It all sounds tongue-in-cheek to me. Looks like she's having fun with the game.

The game just got a 400% better, objectively.

That's very impressive.

I doubt Pokemon will be released by 2018 (perhaps a very late Christmas launch), but whenever it is, sales will go up even further. Heck, just an exciting trailer during E3 or a Direct would get many of the fans grabbing the system.

Excellent news. I played the hell out of SMB and I intend to do the same here.

@Bengals76 Good thing no one of any age cares whatsoever about what you'll "let them" do.

It looks fantastic, the porting team did a great job.

Pretty darn hyped about getting this one.

60 million is my current prediction.

Alright, Nintendo is definitely learning. That's good. I like how they announced this prominently at the start, too. It shows that they see now how relevant the option is to plenty of potential buyers.

As for me, guess I won't be having any TAKE THIIIIIIIS on my system anytime soon. Thank god.

I want to know about that unannounced Tales of game we heard about back in January.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Because the original, ultimately being the basis from which every other 2D Zelda drew from, has little else to offer in a remade form. Adventure of Link on the other hand is unique within the franchise and has plenty of room for improvements in all regards that'd elevate it to something unlike everything else in it.

Personally I'd love if this were an AoL remake since I love the game, but the fact they're looking for HD experienced developers seems to clash with that idea.

I'm not sure I'll get my family to buy all of them for me on Christmas, but I want Xenoblade 2, DOOM and Mario Odyssey. Hopefully I'll be able to get at least XB2 on my own before then.

I might actually buy it. I've loved chess since I was a child and the online options sound appealing.

I think you folks at NL would save some precious time if you just named these articles as ''Reggie Says Nothing 1'', ''Reggie Says Nothing 2'', etc. and the content of the article were always ''So that's that''. The amount of actual information given to readers would be the same anyway.

Sounds like more worthless Reggie PR. Whether cloud saving is actually being looked into or not at all, I doubt he has a clue.

Very noticeable improvements to Miriam's animations. The stage itself also looks more polished, and I like the music.

Good going, Iga and the team. Take however long you all need to deliver a quality game and not another Kickstarter disaster.

I don't have the game yet, but if I ever feel like I need help getting a Power Moon, I'll just pay the 50 in-game coins. That seems a whole deal more fair to me.

@PhantomSwitch

The joke

Your head

I would play Super Mario Odyssey, but then again I don't even have the cash to go buy it right now. So I'll settle for some more Fire Emblem Warriors + Smash at a local on Saturday. Maybe I'll also start Etrian Odyssey V, finally... I can't wait for that one.

Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe has also been confirmed for Switch, in case you folks at NL want to cover that. I'm pretty excited for both games.

It's a crappy gimmick anyway. I've had my 3DS XL for over four years and, other than the first day's try, I haven't bothered with it since. I bought the system for the amazing catalogue, not for that pointless add-on.

Already 100%'d the game twice on Wii U, so I won't get it. It's absolutely great, though, and my favorite platformer ever.

Yeahhh, good luck with that.

Looking forward to playing it through the weekend. I'll try and unlock Lyn as soon as possible.

I'll probably buy this.

@Araragi You can change your system language to Japanese, then you'll have both the audio and text.

@shani I seriously don't give a damn about the guy's background. He is repetitive, intolerant and absolutely obnoxious. It's A-okay if he doesn't care for violent/"mature" stuff, but constantly spewing bile at those games, the companies making/sanctioning them and the people who like to play them is plain idiotic behavior. I don't feel the slightest bit guilty or wrong about calling him out on it, and neither should anyone else.

@Anti-Matter

Christ, kid. You must be the most annoying broken record in the universe.

The Luigi/Waluigi picture barely even counts as cosplay. All they have is the caps and bras of matching colors. They are cute, though, which I guess is what most will care about.

I like how the trailer presents two different parts, the first where you've just begun and die stupid deaths everywhere, and the second in which you are already a battle-hardened badass mowing down hordes of enemies in almost cinematic fashion.

Oh my God, Lyn's Sol Katti crit animation. They hadn't shown that one before. It's... just... beautiful.

@Oscarzxn Yeah, it is. It's the number of sales you'd expect for a relatively niche, yet well liked franchise in Japan. Which is what Metroid is over there.

Considering the current flow + big upcoming system sellers such as Pokemon, and assuming Nintendo play their cards right both with those reveals AND the timely manufacturing, as well as an appealing price cut down the line... I might expect something on the range of 50m-70m by the end of its lifespan.

130m is frankly ridiculous.
