To be perfectly honest, I don't think the OoT formula is going to come back. I can see Nintendo deciding to bring back some elements of it for a BotW2, like permanent gadgets and traditional dungeons, but after BotW's outstanding reviews and sales compared to Skyward Sword's they would be foolish to go back to the classic formula.

2D Zeldas are never gonna die, though. And that's good.

Wii U's dual screen experience sucked, for the most part, but DS and 3DS games wouldn't be what they are without the second screen.
...That said...that's mostly due to a low resolution. Pokémon games don't need a second screen to see the battles clearly if the UI is gonna be in a little corner of the Switch screen.

So yeah, not at all bothered by this.

@Dr_Corndog "Why should I watch them when I've played the game myself, twice?"
Because your judgement is clearly not very good? And you need someone to actually mention the issues of the game for you to notice them?
There's absolutely nothing wrong about agreeing with someone's opinion, you don't have to foolishly think "N-NO THE GAME ISN'T LINEAR BECAUSE I SAY SO! I PLAYED IT!!!"

@e105zeta Oh...
Well no point then.

@DiscoGentleman Not sure what point. I'm basing this off your original comment, by the way, where you're saying "hardcore means dedicated!!".
No, in this case it means "people that play adult games". It doesn't matter it's that's not the correct the definition in your opinion.

@duffmmann Thanks for the response to the 2 year old comment.

@DiscoGentleman People that don't play solely kids' games. People that play Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, Uncharted 4...

Nintendo should help XSeed advertise the next game in the west. Maybe make a commercial that goes like "We've had many stories of seasons..." as they show footage of the old..."Story of Seasons" (harvest moon). They don't own the name, but they sure as hell own the games.

I hate this stupid franchise. Japan has no taste.
No dignity!

@zool Helpful to who? That's been a thing for a while. If she wanted to have another job she should've just quit Nintendo.

"Think of the children!!"

Stupid kids ruining everyone's fun.
Honestly that gun looks cool af.

@SaKo Project X Zone wasn't a flop. It sold decently enough to warrant a sequel.

This is that Yokai Watch clone. Is it at least better than that game?

@Dr_Corndog The reviews I've seen mention more than just those three, according to you, "small problems": Terrible level design, ridiculous linearity even for a non-Metroid game, etc . Maybe you should watch them, too:

@Gerbwmu That isn't particularly good for Famitsu tbh.

@Danrenfroe2016 No one's getting harmed in any way by me emulating Terranigma on my android.
It's freaking fine.

@Dr_Corndog I'd love to read why you think it is. I've seen tons of reviews saying otherwise.

UK always ruining it.

@Dr_Corndog @Mario-Man-Child @RoomB31 It's really not.

@NintendoFan64 @Danrenfroe2016 The developers aren't gonna get any money out of these games anymore. Super Mario World is 25 years old and Nintendo doesn't make SNES cartridged anymore.
For the most part, there's absolutely nothing wrong with emulating old games.

Chill out.

@GLA They have ALL right to do this. They're not getting any money off of this, they're not giving away the original game, it's basically just a patch of the Gamecube/Wii version of Twilight Princess.
Why are people on NintendoLife so quick to jump on the "Nintendo did nothing wrong!!" bandwagon? Jesus christ.

@JaxonH By people not caring that much we'll get more bullshit like this from NoA. Look at Tokyo Mirage #FE, already censored. And if that wasn't enough, memes. Memes everywhere.
Because god knows people aren't tired of memes.
Reggie should just get demoted.

Amazing how the Wii U had to wait to get a game that's an utter copy of Metroid.
Come on dev, if you're gonna copy a Nintendo franchise at least include a Wii U/New 3DS port of the game.

Hooray censorship...

It's good to know everyone here seems to be ok with the butchered localization.

@3792M Then just listen to any of these legitimate complaints:
-Again, terribly unbalanced.
-Tons of glitches and bugs (and don't say 'oh but they're not game breaking glitches!', some of them are, and even if they weren't that's not really an excuse).
-For a game that puts a focus on 'gotta catch em all!!', it doesn't even tell you what pokémon you've caught (aka the little ball next to a wild pokémon's name isn't in this game).
-For a game that puts a focus on 'gotta catch em all!!!', it sure is easy to fill a PC box. You also need to switch boxes manually, if you filled a box and you haven't switched it, say goodbye to that mewtwo you're trying to catch. The actual process of witching boxes is also very cumbersome.
-Lack of moves. Only fire, water, ice, electric, normal and psychic types have it good.
-You can only hold 20 items.
-Having to enter a bunch of menus just to make your pokemon use an HM.
-No way to delete HMs, no way to remember forgotten moves.
-Absolutely NO WAY to know what new moves do. You level up, you're trying to learn Growl, I wonder what it does? Oh, it only lowers the opponent's attack, thank god I deleted flamethrower for this...
-Also no way to know what TMs even do.
-Horrible battle sprites.

Anyone who thinks gen 1 is still good is absolutely blinded by nostalgia. They're very bad games.

@ElementSponge Ghibli is literally dead.

@sillygostly You do know the new president already confirmed they're licensing their IPs for movies and anime, right? They already licensed them for the theme park.

Jesus, I hate this "ALL VIDEOGAMES MOVIES ARE BAAAD!" meme. They're not bad becase they're videogame movies, they're bad because they're BAD MOVIES. Bad directors, bad writers, bad actors, they're projects that weren't taken seriously.
If Nintendo doesn't want to be left behind they need to start working on their own films, otherwise someone's gonna start making good videogame movies, which is gonna start a chain reaction that leads to the production of a bunch of great videogame movies...and Nintendo will have nothing.

@Sanangelo89 Nintendo Cinematic Multiverse.
There.
Wow you people have like no vision.

"Everyone's favorite bird type"
...Wait a minute, this gives me an idea.
You're not allowed to upload the gen 1 pokémon to X/Y/ORAS according to the pokémon website, what if Missingno IS allowed on Pokémon bank, and become a full-fledged pokémon in Sun/Moon?
Wishful thinking I know, but it would be cool.

@Frank90 The other option would be waiting and waiting until rumors of a PS5 start popping up, THEN begin working on the NX. But that simply isn't viable.

@Frank90 I hope not. Having to wait another year for a new console would be a pain in the ass.
For both me and Nintendo. Sure, release the NX in 2017, two years later the PS5 is announced...

@GH05T I'm sure the amount of badges is the only way to measure a game's quality.

"Pokémon X - 6%"
Nintendolife confirmed for worst community.

@Pikachupwnage "He also is unemployed so he tries to make money off someone elses IP?"
No. He quit his job to revive SMBZ, which is something people have been asking him to do FOR ALMOST A DECADE.
As you can imagine, this is a great undertaking.
I'm sure he'd love to do this for free but he doesn't live in the mushroom kingdom. A full time job wouldn't allow him to work properly on these, as SMBZ is an animated series that takes weeks of work to finish. A half-time job wouldn't give him enough money to survive...I think, half-time jobs don't even exist in my country so I dunno.

Hopefully you understand the situation a little better. Again, he isn't just some random guy that suddenly decided to profit off Nintendo characters, he quit working on the old version of the series less than a decade ago because it was too time consuming a project and decided to come back NOW because fans have been requesting him to do so for a long time, he isn't even working on the old series anymore, he decided to go back to square one and remake the old episodes with better animation and writing.

@Socar All three of them.

@boopidy ...Those are all coming out MONTHS from now.

@Shirma_Akayaku Yes.
You can just download the terrible, literal fan translation of the game.
Enjoy the awkward dialogue but at least you'll be able to pet your units right??

@Kriven Because your dumb handheld can't even handle SNES and GBA games.
And before you mention the ambasswhatever games, they're ports. Terrible ones at that.

SEGA
IS
SATAN, SHIROOO!
ooooh!

@crimsontadpoles They shouldn't have any trouble if they embrace the Twilight Princess aesthetic. Nintendo can (will) help anyone that actually tries to make a Zelda movie.

Mario - CGI
Zelda - Live action
Metroid - LA
Kirby - CGI
Earthbound/Mother series - CGI
F-Zero - LA
Star Fox - ...uh...
Kid Icarus - CGI

@crimsontadpoles "the story generally isn't that important in a Mario game, so could be difficult to get right in a film"
...just adapt an RPG

"live action wouldn't work for the Zelda world"
How so? I'd prefer if it were live action, it could be taken more seriously than a CGI movie.
Silly lighthearted properties like Mario, Kirby and...Earthbound would work on CGI, but not more serious ones like Fire Emblem, Zelda, F-Zero ("serious") or Metroid. They would have to shove a ton of stupid jokes and whatnot into trailers to attract children and their parents.

@Nintendian This has nothing to do with the Nintendo/DeNa partnership. This was a standalone game released by The Pokémon Company.

@Jazzer94 The NX is coming next year.

@Nomad No they weren't.

@Spoony_Tech Boo freaking hoo.

@AVahne It's not like Fire Emblem invented this type of strategy games or anything.

@WaddleDeeWeegee "Who doesn't want to play Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow"
People with taste.

@OlicityBlows The "waifu sim" is one of the reasons Awakening sold 2 million copies.
Would you prefer a dead franchise instead?

inb4 yes because I don't like thing!!

@Chaoz They already said they're not announcing it too early so competitors don't copy their ideas...
Jesus, it was reported on this exact website.

@vitalemrecords Uhh, the Wii U will be out for 4 years by the time the NX releases. November 2016 probably.
Where the hell did you get that 2 and a half years from?
