@Silly_G that’s actually impressive- I imagine it takes a lot force to destroy a PS4 controller. Tbh I gave up on Dark Souls. It’s not enjoyable, and I will never git gud.
Looking forward to this game- I never played it on the N65. It’s good to see the expansion pack improved over time and silenced some of the (understandable) whining about it early on
I’d probably play it, though I’d be ashamed of myself for playing a game that’s basically someone badly describing BOTW over the phone to a developer only used to making phone games
BOTW2 seems to be borrowing more and more from Skyward Sword- the falling from the sky, the islands, the time travel back thousands of years, and some people think Fi is coming back based on the glowing blue light seen in the new cutscenes
@Scarko you can’t compare Zelda to COD or FIFA, each Zelda game is different enough to have its own unique style. And yes, one Zelda game a year, either a port or a new game, isn’t asking much.
@Tademaru well NL said roughly 15-17 hours, the Gamespot reviewer was 80% complete in 15 hours. You’re right about 40 hours, a good rule of thumb is one hour per £/$, this game is half that apparently. Will still buy.
I’m still buying it (physically so I can sell it when completed) but the short lifespan should hurt the score a bit more. 10-17 hours isn’t a lot of gameplay time.
Considering how clumsy I am and how frustrated I got playing Dark Souls, I’m impressed with the resilience of the console. Bit of joy con drift but now bad for something I’ve had for four years
@RubyCarbuncle wouldn’t that be fun? Having to run from the authorities while they send Pokemon after you? Having the choice whether to keep the stolen Pokémon or sell it for a profit, creating a black market? Most Pokémon fans are probably adults now so lets get some adult themes in!

Re: Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Dev Would "Love" To Bring The Game To Switch
I still have hope for either TP or WW. Skyward Sword sold well on the Switch so it would make financial sense to keep porting Zelda games

Re: Back Page: EVERYONE STAY CALM. Here's How To Game Safely On Friday 13th
I had to stop playing Dark Souls in handheld mode because Nintendo Switches can be thrown pretty far. I assume.

Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air This Week
Some news of Hotel Chocolatier would be good. Bored of people going on about Silksong.

@moodycat your username is accurate, my dude
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 7th)
Bit of a disappointing month for new games so looking at some ones I’ve overlooked like Ori and the Blind Forest and Celeste
Re: Summer Game Fest 2022: Dates, Conference Times, How To Watch, Everything You Need To Know
Maybe wait until more developers have signed up?
Re: Don't Worry, Genshin Impact Is "Still In Development" For Nintendo Switch
I’d probably play it, though I’d be ashamed of myself for playing a game that’s basically someone badly describing BOTW over the phone to a developer only used to making phone games
Re: Oops, An Italian Voice Actor May Have Spoiled Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2

Re: Sega To Share Sonic Frontiers News Update "Soon"
‘This holiday’ is pretty vague- that could be summer or Xmas. This game has a lot of potential but the lack of gameplay footage isn’t a good sign
Re: Want To See The Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Games On Switch? Let Aspyr Know
Yes, yes I would. Particularly Rogue Squadron, with the cheat codes intact.
Re: Sonic Origins Re-Emerges, Receives Rating In South Korea
Some news about Frontiers would be nice.
Re: Talking Point: If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?
Nah, I’m happy with my current Switch.
Re: Channel Your Inner John Wick Against Evil Dog Thieves In 'The Last Friend'
Liking the concept as well as the music- sounds like the lovechild of an anime theme song and an 80s band
Re: Nintendo Life's Indie Spotlight Is Back! Join Us Tomorrow For The Presentation
Indie games are always a welcome surprise, I’m
guessing some mentioned tomorrow will be brand new announcements?
Re: Review: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim - A Rich Narrative Adventure/RTS Hybrid With Outstanding Art
I’m still unsure, might wait for a sale.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 2nd)
Kirby is the ideal game to soften the blow of bad gaming news. Also attempting a three heart run on Majoras Mask.
Re: Rumour: Could We Be Getting New NES And SNES Games This Week?
I don’t think many people are expecting much from Nintendo now.
Re: Random: Requests For Zelda Ports Increase Following BOTW 2 Switch Delay

Re: New Chart Data Shows That Brits Are In Love With Mario, But Only After FIFA And CoD
@clianvXAi that so admittedly a great point. It’s all subjective.
Re: New Chart Data Shows That Brits Are In Love With Mario, But Only After FIFA And CoD
@Kiz3000 not saying it’s stupid, that would be mean, just that those games are kind of all the same and I don’t get why they’re still so popular.
Re: New Chart Data Shows That Brits Are In Love With Mario, But Only After FIFA And CoD
Please don’t judge all British people by this 😅 some of us know that FIFA and COD are overrated

Re: Konami's Mario And Animal Crossing Killer 'Momotaro Dentetsu' Surpasses 3.5 Million Sales
Looks weird. Yes I’d like it.
Re: Nintendo Highlights Upcoming N64 Releases In Latest 'Switch Online + Expansion Pack - Overview Trailer'
Maybe the next three N64 were just shown in order: Kirby, Pokemon Snap, Mario Golf. Looking forward to a new batch in June/July
Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 1 - A 'Safe' Start To The 48-Track DLC Pack
@Gregadeth i played the new tracks this morning, I'm in the UK
Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 1 - A 'Safe' Start To The 48-Track DLC Pack
What would constitute an unsafe start? Not criticising, genuinely curious.
Re: Review: Gal*Gun: Double Peace - One To Avoid Playing On Public Transport
@Duffman92 I wish more episodes of that show were available to watch
Re: Review: Gal*Gun: Double Peace - One To Avoid Playing On Public Transport
Hehe, tighter wrist action.
Re: Review: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax - Not The Persona You're Looking For, But Still A Fine Fighter
Ideally no one will buy this until we get actual Persona games on the Switch
Re: Nintendo Switch Online Members Can Try 'Monster Hunter Rise' For Free
I never got into the MH series but this seems like a good opportunity to try again
Re: Take-Two Faces Lawsuit Over "Deceptive And Unlawful" Loot Boxes In NBA 2K
I wish I could’ve seen the members of the House of Lords struggle to understand what lootboxes are.

Re: Talking Point: How's Your Switch Holding Up After 5 Years?
Considering how clumsy I am and how frustrated I got playing Dark Souls, I’m impressed with the resilience of the console. Bit of joy con drift but now bad for something I’ve had for four years
Re: QubicGames Celebrates 18th Anniversary With A Big Switch Sale And Giveaway
Does anyone know which of these games are worth playing and which are shovelware?
Re: Poll: Do You Think Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Have Eye Issues?
People love to complain. It’s fun.
Re: Sorry, Switch Owners Won't Be Getting Cross-Play For FIFA 23
A remastered version of Red Card would be fun.
Re: Sorry, Switch Owners Won't Be Getting Cross-Play For FIFA 23
How will I sleep at night.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Pokémon Scarlet And Pokémon Violet?
Meh. It’s too similar to Arceus and too close in terms of release dates
Re: Mythical Virtual Boy F-Zero Spin-Off Was 100% Complete, According To Former NOA Staffer
I miss F-Zero. I’m hoping that’s the next game for the NSO expansion
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At The New Open World In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
@Nf157 ok thanks- it’s just odd that I have never heard of that game despite having a GameCube and playing Colesseum
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At The New Open World In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
@Nf157 I haven’t heard of Gale of Darkness, was that a Japan only one?
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At The New Open World In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
@RubyCarbuncle wouldn’t that be fun? Having to run from the authorities while they send Pokemon after you? Having the choice whether to keep the stolen Pokémon or sell it for a profit, creating a black market? Most Pokémon fans are probably adults now so lets get some adult themes in!
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At The New Open World In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
Idea for new mechanic- in trainer battles, you can actually catch/steal the opposing Pokémon.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet Announced, Releasing Worldwide In "Late 2022"
@RubyCarbuncle They’ll just drop the pretence eventually with Pokemon “Just give us your money” and Pokemon “Then give us more of your money”
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet Announced, Releasing Worldwide In "Late 2022"
I think Nintendo will run out of colours soon
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask - Magnificent, Unique, And Worth Revisiting
@Tandy255 fair enough, that’s actually a good point- it’s a shame that paper instruction manuals are a thing of the past
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask - Magnificent, Unique, And Worth Revisiting
@Tandy255 if only there were some resource where you can search for any information you need….
