I enjoy Zelda II far more than I, or the following A Link to The Past for that matter. Side scrollers are Inti's bread and butter, so I'd be all over this.
I like how some people are only noticing now that the whole ballot thing was a smokescreen. As if that little "among the realisable characters" note during the reveal wasn't telling enough.
Isn't it obvious that an Overwatch port is never gonna happen? This is just a dismissive reply as per usual, nothing suggestive or news worthy about it.
Played through this and the first one the other day on my phone. Entertaining enough for a couple hours or so, maybe more if you're like me and need to read all of the extra fluff.
@brunojenso Yeah, apparently you need to beat the last B-Side to unlock them (and said B-Side is only accessible after getting all other regular and B-Side hearts, since there's a barrier at the start of it).
I've got Chapter 7 and 8's B-Sides left to do, so here's hoping I'll get to try out the C-Sides before the weekend is over. From what I heard, they are even harder, but also shorter than the B-Sides.
@bilboa I've been playing for a couple hours and when it comes to mitigation of luck, yes, you can do just that. Sending your characters out with a sane state of mind and no thirst or hunger improves your chances of success a lot, as does equipping them with something useful for the journey, like an axe or a map. So far the closest I've had to a failed expedition in 16 of them was one where the character didn't get any items, but still managed to come back at least - and he had gone insane prior to it.
I've read this site for years now and Mitch always came across as a bit of an easily frustrated player, no offense intended. So it's no surprise for me to try this out and find that its random/unfair nature has been greatly exaggerated.
Personally, the game feels like a good choice to play in short bursts now and then.
Funny how just yesterday I was looking for a NintendoLife review of this.
I might give it a go regardless. The only thing that truly puts me off is the reportedly clunky controls during the scavenging part, but that can probably be worked around with some getting used to. The text-based section and achievements both sound good to me.
I think the mentioned example of the scout not returning is a poor one, because if anything that would make the experience more realistic - just because you set out to do something in a survival situation, doesn't mean you'll succeed.
The company bringing this over to the West has been notorious for censoring stuff in the past, mainly risqué Vita games - so your 'logic' doesn't hold.
@retro_player_22 Not really an endless runner, actually. The levels all have a defined beginning and end, plus there's a ton of them. The endless runner misconception just came from the fact that Meat Boy runs automatically.
I agree that I far prefer the original game's playstyle, though, but I'm willing to give the new one a chance.
Super Meat Boy is an absolutely outstanding hardcore platformer, so I'll say it's a well deserved success on the Switch. I didn't buy it because I already have it on Wii U, but I'll be sure to pick up Forever when it drops.
@SamOrMax I read the whole paragraph. He is literally applauding Miyamoto and others for a decision they didn't make whatsoever, i.e. pushing the envelope on the franchise and letting their developers do so. That's on Aonuma and the rest of the folks actually responsible for the game.
Lost interest in reading any more of his comments the moment he gave credit for this game to Miyamoto and Tezuka over Aonuma or Fujibayashi. Hilarious.
I've never been very interested in the whole Zelda timeline debacle. I didn't even know it was such a huge matter of discussion until I spotted several articles and posts about it.
I mean, I am a huge fan, but it's not like story is one of the primary reasons why I play these games. I'd be all over Zero Escape timeline discussions, for example, but Zelda? Ehhh.

Re: Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu Wants To Develop A Remake Of Zelda II

Re: Nintendo Takes Legal Action Against Two Notorious Arizona-Based ROM Websites
Never heard of those sites, to be honest. And I've grabbed my fair share of ROMs.
Re: Random: One Episode Of The Pokémon Anime Has Been 'Banned' From Airing In The West
Most stupid thing I've read in weeks. Guess cosplaying as a Pokemon is discriminatory now.
The truly racist thing is seeing a monkey-like monster creature and linking that to an actual black person.
Re: Rumour: Your Super Smash Bros. Ballot Votes Might Not Have Been Used For Smash 4's DLC
I like how some people are only noticing now that the whole ballot thing was a smokescreen. As if that little "among the realisable characters" note during the reveal wasn't telling enough.
Re: Rumour: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Will Soon Allow Players To Fully Customise Difficulty Parameters
I'm looking forward to the new difficulty mode, Bringer of Chaos. I'm not interested in making my own custom difficulty, though.
Re: NIS America Will Be Sharing New Game Announcements At Anime Expo 2018
Liar Princess and the Blind Prince, please.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Notes That Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Could Be The Last In The Series
@Shiryu I wouldn't give the subtitle much importance. After all, the game's just called ''Special'' in Japan.
Re: Review: One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition (Switch)
As far as I'm concerned, out of Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors and this one, Pirate Warriors 3 is the superior game.
Re: Review: ICEY (Switch eShop)
Good to see a review for this one on the site.
Did everything in the game and I really enjoyed my time with it. Fun, witty, different, fairly priced.
Re: Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon Made Over Half Its Sales On Switch
Lovely game. It's good to know it was a hit on Switch.
Re: Rumour: Leaked E3 Document Suggests Fortnite, Dragon Ball FighterZ And More Are Switch-Bound
@Einherjar They did. Not that I mind, but so much for that.
Re: Overwatch Producer Discusses The Possibility Of Bringing The Game To Switch
Isn't it obvious that an Overwatch port is never gonna happen? This is just a dismissive reply as per usual, nothing suggestive or news worthy about it.
Re: Guide: Nintendo E3 2018 Press Conference Schedule, Rumours, Hopes, And Dreams
@W3ghe It wasn't. There was a Fire Emblem-specific Direct a few days after the general Switch presentation. It was announced there.
Re: Guide: Nintendo E3 2018 Press Conference Schedule, Rumours, Hopes, And Dreams
@ottospooky
Correct. It's been a thing ever since January 2017.
Re: Inti Creates Announces New Bloodstained And Gunvolt Titles For Switch At BitSummit
Curse of the Moon looks absurdly good. Getting it.
Re: Steam Has Added Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Support In Its Latest Client Beta
Tried it out yesterday and it works like a charm. Finally I don't need to rely on faulty GC drivers to play Rivals of Aether or other stuff.
Re: Review: Agatha Knife (Switch eShop)
Got it on preorder and I've been enjoying it. I'll probably play a lot of it today, since I'm now done with Late Shift.
Both satire and black humor are right up my alley, not to mention the lovely artstyle.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Version 1.4.0 Launches Later This Week
Looking forward to the update. I always thought T-elos was pretty cool, and a new Poppi is nice to have.
Re: Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story Will Dial Onto Nintendo Switch Next Week
Played through this and the first one the other day on my phone. Entertaining enough for a couple hours or so, maybe more if you're like me and need to read all of the extra fluff.
Re: Chose Your Own Adventure And Solve The Case As Late Shift Arrives On Switch This Month
I'll get it.
Re: Agatha Knife Is A Satirical Adventure Game Where You Create A Meat-Eating Religion
Saw this one yesterday. It honestly looks great, with plenty of personality and quirkiness to it. Most likely the next indie I'll buy on my Switch.
Re: Feature: Here's What Pro Players Want From Super Smash Bros On Switch
@Dr_Awkward
Are you familiar with the term 'constructive criticism', or does it evade you?
Re: Feature: The Biggest Retail Games Hitting Nintendo Switch This Spring
Octopath Traveler and also Pirate Warriors 3, which for whatever reason you guys didn't see it fitting to be included.
Also Dark Souls Remastered, since I never had the chance to play it before. Also quite interested in the Crash Trilogy for similar reasons.
Re: Bloodstained's English Voice Talent Includes Alucard, Char Aznable And Solid Snake
I'll play it in Japanese, but good to know those who prefer the English dub have a nice cast to look forward to.
Re: Reaction: What Did You Think Of The Nindies Spring Showcase 2018?
Light Fall is the only one I can see myself buying without thinking too much about it.
Re: One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Is Getting A Bootiful Deluxe Edition On Switch
Oh, hell yes. I thought they'd never bring this out of Japan.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Top Ten eShop Games From Switch's First Year
Celeste for me, hands down.
Re: A Normal Lost Phone Will Let You Snoop Through Texts On Switch Next Month
I always enjoy a good outside-the-box premise, so sign me up.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
-Sm4sh at a live tournament
-The Longest 5 Minutes
-Fire Emblem Warriors
-Some Celeste, probably
-Some Oxenfree, maybe

Re: Review: The Longest Five Minutes (Switch)
Sounds about like what I expected! Already preordered it a few days ago, I think I'll have plenty of fun with it.
Re: Video: A Speedrunner Has Completed Super Mario World In Under A Minute
@DragonbornRito Pre-puberty, I'd guess.
Re: Video: A Speedrunner Has Completed Super Mario World In Under A Minute
@Biff_ARMStrong Careful with that edge, child.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
I played some 60 Seconds! earlier, but I'm mostly gonna dedicate these days to Disgaea 5 Complete and DOOM.
Re: D3 Publisher Primes A Salvo Of Switch eShop Titles
Only the Escape Trick one sounds remotely appealing to me.

An amazing player and a respectable decision. Best of luck to you.

It looks lovely.
Re: Video: The 21 Best GameCube Games Money Can Buy
@Nagi_Nagisa Had a feeling it wouldn't be. Writers here tend to snub RPGs a hell of a lot.
Re: A Nindies New Year Sale Has Begun on Switch Today
Nice, I've been waiting for a Thumper sale.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From The Inevitable January 2018 Nintendo Direct
Not a thought for Fire Emblem Switch, huh? That's kind of a shame. It's a more likely bet at this point for a preview than MP4, too.
