@SalvorHardin The thing is, if you create a great product, it speaks for you, and you don't have to do such a pathetic PR release like this. There's nothing wrong with a logo, but seriously, name me ONE video game company that released it as a PR stunt before the game besides this. I mean, I love the Capcom logo, but Capcom puts it where it belongs: in front of their games, not on YouTube.
@Banksie Superhero movies aren't going anywhere, and video game movies aren't 'the next big thing'. While everyone was claiming Doctor Strange 2 bombed, it made $950m worldwide (without a Chinese release) this year, which was $150m more than Sonic 2 and Uncharted combined.
@BobbleBubble Throw in Star Wars: Episode I: The Battle for Naboo. It was essentially Rogue Squadron 1.5, and the best Episode I game which was eclipsed by Racer.
Lord knows I've bought the NES 6 about 10 different times for every system I've had dating back to the PS2, to say nothing of owning them on the original hardware.
@BTB20 I admit spinoff was a bad choice of word, but no Ganon, no Triforce. Not a mainline Zelda game. It's a side story. The only mainline Zelda games are The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds, and Breath of the Wild. That's it. And that's coming from someone who's favorite Zelda game is Majora's Mask.
Both of these games suffer from Nintendo's desperate need to innovate when no innovation was necessary, much like Skyward Sword. As a result, going back to play any of these now feels more like a chore than a trip down memory lane. They're best left in the past.
I like Fire Emblem, I do not, however like Warriors. As a matter of fact, I rather loathe it, considering that's all Nintendo seems to want to lend their IPs to.

Re: More Details On Rejected Zelda Game 'Heroes Of Hyrule' Revealed
Of course Nintendo rejects something potentially interesting like this and greenlights a billion crappy musou spinoffs.
Re: Surprise! Skyrim Anniversary Edition Is Out Now On The Switch eShop
And still no Fallout games.
Re: We've Played Sonic Frontiers, But What Did We Think Of It?
@Wesker I see your child managed to duck your bad taste gene. You should thank your significant other.
Re: Sonic Team Unveils New Animated Logo
@RickRau5 That's my point. Their games speak for themselves.

Re: Sonic Team Unveils New Animated Logo
Honestly, could you imagine Nintendo doing this in the leadup to a major Mario release?
This is so emblematic of Sega's problems. Always putting the cart before the horse.

Re: Metroid Prime Dev Retro Studios Pitched A Zelda Game Called 'Heroes Of Hyrule'
@Aventurier I tried it. I couldn't imagine sinking 10 hours into that crap, let alone 100.
Re: Metroid Prime Dev Retro Studios Pitched A Zelda Game Called 'Heroes Of Hyrule'
Sounds better than a ***** musou spinoff.

The Legend of Zelda. I can still beat it in one sitting.
Re: Sega Announces Space Channel 5 And Comix Zone Movies
@Yosher Can you really call them a 'series' with only a single entry?

@Yoshisaur I thought something more along the lines of Cool World.

@Ratmasterd21 You didn't play the N64 in the 90's, and it shows.

If you're into it, more power to ya, but these just don't look interesting to me.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
I have Metroid Prime Trilogy and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Two of the rarer Wii games.

Re: Watch: This 90-Minute Deep Dive Into Two Of The Most Underrated Zeldas Is Well Worth The Time
@YoshiF2 I never said the others WEREN'T Zelda games, just not mainline games. And I clarified not spinoffs, but side stories. Jesus, you're obtuse.
Re: Watch: This 90-Minute Deep Dive Into Two Of The Most Underrated Zeldas Is Well Worth The Time
@somebread I didn't say it was mainline.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, clearly.
Fanboys are always transparent.
Re: Sega Reflects On Sonic Mania, Says It Was A Defining Moment For The Blue Blur
@RareFan SoJ resents anything successful that they don't produce.
