Hmm.. The story could actually work with Ian Flynn there and the music would no doubt be a banger too, but the gameplay.. would probably be really, really bad (Forces) or mediocre (Lost World, Frontiers). You really can never tell with SEGA these days
@epicgamner Yeah, most likely.. but mostly because SEGA themselves made the ending for 06 ''not canon'' because the Princess of Soleanna removes the threat from existense and makes everyone forget about the entire thing.. thus making the entire adventure irrelevant haha
@Divide_and_Wander Yeah, that's a good price.. Like, I really REALLY wanted to like NNK2 as well, but.. the game just doesn't know what it wants to do, you know? It's got too much going on at once, the story and characters don't make sense and the music is mostly recycled from the first one.. However, the battle system is actually quite good. So, uh.. yeah. Maybe I just had too high expectations, but it just wasn't good.
@Divide_and_Wander Can't say anything about the other games, but yikes.. Ni no Kuni 2? Here's hoping you didn't pay too much.. Truly one of the worst out there and most certaintly the worst sequel to a beloved JRPG of the last twenty years or so.
Well, looks like Nintendo's afraid of a bit of revolution and evolution here.. They have to know AI will eventually take over voice actors and movie designers etc, so why not jump in at the chance to get to learn it? Oh well, I do suppose they've always been shortsighted, so this shouldn't surprise me at all.
@Ocaz Haha you think THAT'S anti-consumer?! Goodness, you really don't know alot about modern businesses, do you? Microsoft and Sony are doing far worse things nowadays.
However.. I do agree with you that it should've had Zelda pre-installed, just like the Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch Lite had.
Yeah, that voice acting thingy has been a thing in the last few Trails games now.. It's annoying, but nothing really bothersome tbh. I'm more concerned with how different this entry is - different battle system, different characters.. it's literally a whole new world. However, I am extremely interested to see what Calvard is like - after all the stuff Heiuye did in the Crossbell saga and seeing the influence that Calvard had in Crossbell and even Nord definitely got me curious!
I hope a certain divine blade shows up at some point too..
@UltimateOtaku91 Quite good though; this means people will not stand for an digital only console; which means very good news for physical media. You should see the people on PushSquare that seem convinced all consoles will be digital only years from now haha
Good. These leaks are beyond annoying and ruin the surprise of what's to come. Here's hoping Pyoro gets a significant fine for leaking previous Directs
Sounds good! I don't give two flying ***** about the multiplayer, so if the singleplayer is good then that's all that matters. Can't wait to recieve my copy tomorrow!
Nah, they just need to stop being stubborn and give us an traditional Zelda! Not everyone likes the generic open world that the series has gone off in... Breath of the Wild is by far the most boring, generic and painfully dull open world game I've ever played. Tears of the Kingdom is slightly better, but not by much.
They're giving us a brand new 2D Zelda though with EoW, so there's hope for us traditional 3D Zelda fans yet.... I HOPE.
I just finished Paper Mario, so i'm going to start The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trials this weekend! I started it last year but never finished it.. Time to rectify that haha. Also still playing Sonic Origins Plus on the Lite as a side game
@Takoda This happens more often than not, unfortunately.. Metroid Prime 4, Mass Effect 4, Elder Scrolls VI.. Like, honestly. Only announce a project if it's a year, maybe two years, away.. not four or five :/.
@PikminMarioKirby Perhaps - but that's why you should be buying this remaster. If not - that might send Nintendo a signal that people don't want Donkey Kong anymore.
Also, a new DK roller coaster is being launched close to the release of DKCR HD next year, so that's probably the reason they did this.
@anoyonmus Yep! The only one missing is DK64.. While not strictly tied to the Country series, I still view it as such since some characters in the game reference events from DKC3
@FreasurePlanten Dude. Just be thankful there was ANYTHING for Donkey Kong in here at all! They could've him and done nothing, but we got this. I would've preferred an completely new game too, but I'm a bit too old to be picky about a franchise that's basically almost left to die by Nintendo.
We gamers should just be more grateful all around and not be like little cry babies complaining about every. single. thing. It's OK to be disappointed though, but it feels too damn picky to me.
This looks really fantastic!! I'm a bit worried it might be as confusing as Link's Awakening, but time will tell if there's actually accessibility options available in the game for those that... don't quite have alot of patience (like myself).
Would've preferred a brand new game, but I'm really excited for this to be on the Switch; finally, we'll have all five Country games together on the same system for the first time!
... Of course, SOME people here can't keep their negativity to themselves. Yikes.
Love that people are still hoping for WWHD/TPHD. It's NOT going to happen - however, it's highly entertaining that some of you do.. and when that futile hope is finally crushed when these two games, once again, aren't mentioned lmfao
Awesome! Time to see what they have.. Although I'm more excited for the chaos that is the Nintendo Direct chat; People expect WAY too much and when they don't get exactly what they want they spam the chat with ''zzzzz'' and clown and barf emoji's. It's pretty hilarious.
That said, I would already be super satisfied if they could finally release DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing for NSO. Everything else is just a bonus; I'm already really satisfied with the Switch and its library
Awesome!! I've never played this one and with the paper thin patience I have these days, save states and rewind feature are an absolute must. Can't wait to finally play this!
I got Yonder Cloud Chronicles for 5 euro's.. Not sure what to think of that game, but it looks really cute. And for 5 euro's I don't think I can go wrong
I can't wait! Literally the only Luigi's Mansion I actually enjoyed. 1 was too confusing and 3 was just.. annoying? I like the linerarity of 2 alot. Just pre-ordered it alongside Trails Through Daybreak!
I also kind of hope they announce the Switch' successor to be released in 2026.. Would be damn hilarious to see everyone's whining about it, the way they usually do haha
Seriously, who the hell wants THAT game to be ported? I actually keep forgetting it even exists.. but now that you've reminded me - wow, yeah, that game was definitely the start of the Super Dark Age of Sonic.. that lasted from that game all the way to Forces x_x
I REALLY hope this will work out; this had better not be using the same trashy engine that they used for Forces and Frontiers.. The level design is one thing, but if they take the awful controls from the cyber space levels into this one too, then.. Major yikes.
However - from what I've seen so far Space Colony ARK has never looked better. Super excited to go back there!

Re: Random: After 100% Completing Zelda: TOTK, Streamer Sets Out To Collect Every Rock
@PinderSchloss Still much better than Breath of the Wild though. Massive step up - that game was only hyped up because of its name, nothing else.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Sonic X Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings
@epicgamner Yeah, most likely.. but mostly because SEGA themselves made the ending for 06 ''not canon'' because the Princess of Soleanna removes the threat from existense and makes everyone forget about the entire thing.. thus making the entire adventure irrelevant haha

Re: Review: Tchia (Switch) - A Brilliantly Fun (And Surprisingly Adult) Animal-Hopping Adventure
Played it for a little bit on the PS5. Boring, unneccesarily confusing and just plain annoying. Cute graphics, but that's all it has going for it.
9/10 is far too high - but then again, NL's reviews tend to be vastly inaccurate anyway.

Ordered that Lite the moment it was available in my country. I already have one, but that color combination is just brilliant.

@Ralizah Yeah, that's quite unfortunate. Microsoft deserves the sales far more than Sony.

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Costs $60 On Switch
Pricey; but I'm definitely getting it - probably twice: To support the franchise and to annoy the nay-sayers.
Don't forget; if you don't support this now, this franchise will end up dead - just like F-Zero and Star Fox.
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - The Best Version, But Lacks Extras To Make It Essential

Re: Nintendo Showcases All June 2024 Direct Games With Colourful New Graphic
Just Donkey Kong for me... for now. I need more info on Zelda and Mario & Luigi before I dedicate myself to them.
Mario Party is an easy skip for me.

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Confirmed For Switch, Launching 2025
Meh. Never cared for the franchise and I never will; same with Splatoon.
Really happy for the fans though - about time they got some news from this game! Now, if only Silksong would make an apperance..
