@fox_mattcloud People can score it whatever they want. Personally I haven't played the game but if someone thinks a game deserves a 1/10, regardless of anyone else's opinion they should be able to express that.
@Strumpan I'm fine with barebones ports but not when they're 50 dollars. Especially when it's just 30 on xBox. I think the "outrage" is probably compounded by the fact that it was rumored to be a remake and then wasn't, but I still think the 50 dollar pricetag is pretty dumb.
Yeah honestly I agree. The Switch doesn't appeal to the HARD-CORE GAMER™ audience that the XBox and PlayStation does. I know people with an XBox and a Switch, or a PS4 and a Switch.
I might get cancelled for saying this, but I didn't really enjoy the opening. So many cutscenes. And the voice acting wasn't great, so seeing Zelda go "omg this confirms my previous knowledge from what i learned in books" really wasn't very fun for me.
The eShop closure sucks, but what it means is more people interested in modding their consoles which means more demand for better mods which means a better modding scene overall. This is great for people like me but might suck for the average Joe who just wants something that'll work.
I'd love it if Nintendo would offer retro games on the Switch for 5 dollars each, which got cut down to 3 often. Alas, that pricing scheme is a relic from a bygone market. NSO is nice and all but I'd like to buy the games I wanna play.
@Lizuka I respect your opinion. I strongly disagree with the Odyssey stuff, because I love that game, but I did have fun with NSMBWii. Have a nice day.
@Lizuka Really? Why? I haven't actually played U Deluxe but I've played a bunch of the other NSMB games, and they're kind of mediocre, while Odyssey is probably one of the best games I've ever played.
@PipeGuy64Bit Normal collectors that actually like video games are cool. WATA is stupid and its sole purpose is to help Heritage Auctions get more money.
@Shambo I don't think this is like a "tips and tricks on how to get all korok seeds quick" and instead more of a "huh that's neat lemme go try that on a new save." It's more targeted towards people who finished the game and are interested in how it works rather than people who just want to cheat.
@claypool Yeah, and ALBW used Link to the Past's map, Spirit Tracks was a follow up to Phantom Hourglass, which was a follow up to Wind Waker. So the last time we got a fully original 2D Zelda was 2005 with Minish Cap.
As a kid I LOVED playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the Wii with my brothers. Apparently it sucks, but as a kid you overlook a lot of flaws and just enjoy any game.
I was a little kid playing Smash Bros Brawl with my brothers. I did a final smash and then my robot guy turned into some random girl. It was very confusing.
I'm considering buying one of the cheap aftermarket Amazon controllers to play N64 games with. A normal controller just doesn't work for them. Does anyone have any experience with stuff like that?
@calbeau Yeah, there's so much potential for 2 player shrines. Maybe do it like Human Fall Flat, where every puzzle has many ways to do it, and the singleplayer solution is wildly different from the 2 player solution.
@abdias If it takes 4 hours to beat then you can play through it with all characters for a 28 hour experience. Not to mention multiplayer, which makes the game infinitely replayable.
Also, I'd rather have a quality 4 hour game than a boring 20 hour game.
I think that GameCube and wii games would do well as collections or individual releases. I think that GBA would be a perfect fit for NSO, and have no idea why they haven’t done it yet.

Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Character Roster - Every New And Returning Fighter
From the thumbnail I thought they added handsome squidward as a character. What a disappointment.
Re: Nintendo Announces Mario Red Edition Switch OLED, Out October
Looks dope as heck. Reminds me of the SNES Doom cartridge.
Re: Review: Red Dead Redemption - A Fine But No-Frills Switch Port, For A Fistful Of Dollars

Re: Poll: Will You Be Updating Your Copy Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Duping is just cheating. I won't be doing it probably until I finish the main story and even then might not. I'm sure there'll be another method soon.
Re: Soapbox: How Zelda's Bad Economy Made Weapon Degradation Great Again
@sketchturner I think that's probably because of the whole Upheaval weapon decay thing which I never really got.
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Incredible Opening Is One Of Nintendo's Best
I might get cancelled for saying this, but I didn't really enjoy the opening. So many cutscenes. And the voice acting wasn't great, so seeing Zelda go "omg this confirms my previous knowledge from what i learned in books" really wasn't very fun for me.

I need this now.
Re: Mario Movie's Jack Black Song 'Peaches' Now Eligible For Oscar Nomination
The song's scene reminded me of Spaceballs when Rick Moranis is playing with his dolls and one of his guys walks in.
Re: Talking Point: Just How Old Is Mario In The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
@RupeeClock Perhaps the absence of Mario in Nintendo games prevented the NES from getting any traction, killing off video games in the U.S. forever.
Re: Dragon Quest XII: The Flames Of Fate Logo Gets A Minor Update
I dunno man. Making DQ darker will just make it more generic. I like the goofiness.
Re: Poll: When Will You Be Watching The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
I am a Nintendo nerd. I am obligated by law to watch this day 1.
Re: Video: Super Mario Bros. Movie 'Princess Peach Training Course' Clip Released
@Bass_X0 It’s one clip. There’s probably more explanation in the entire movie.
A lot of you guys are complaining about how Mario has no point of being there just from seeing one short clip.
Re: Two 3DS HOME Themes Are Now Free To Download (North America)
It's the end of an era. I should really get around to hacking my Wii U.
Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - BOXBOY! Trilogy

Re: Nintendo Reveals Official MAR10 Day Switch Console Bundle
@Lizuka I respect your opinion. I strongly disagree with the Odyssey stuff, because I love that game, but I did have fun with NSMBWii. Have a nice day.
Re: Photos Posted Online Showcase New Mario-Themed Switch Console Bundle
@Lizuka Really? Why? I haven't actually played U Deluxe but I've played a bunch of the other NSMB games, and they're kind of mediocre, while Odyssey is probably one of the best games I've ever played.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Nintendo Direct Announced For 9th March, Will Debut 'Final Trailer'
couldn't have waited one day for MAR10? something's a bit fishy, maybe something cooler planned then?
Re: New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Shows A Flying Vehicle And Fresh Details
I just thought of how it's like Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts!

Re: Nintendo Minute Videos Are Being Set To Private On Nintendo's YouTube Channel
I'm sure a thousand people have archived these but why? What does Nintendo gain from this?
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Surpass 10 Million Sales In First Three Days, Setting New Nintendo Record
I'm not a huge fan of Pokemon, but apparently the game is not great. Imagine the sales if it was great, though.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Prefer 'Super Mario Odyssey 2' Or A Totally New 3D Mario?
if we got a mario odyssey 2 i’d be so happy
Re: Random: Jack Black Says Bowser Has "A Musical Side" In Mario Movie
@Axecon I agree, Bowser really feels like a menace, someone to be afraid of. That fire breath demolished the icy palace or whatever.
Re: Random: Chris Pratt Is Mario In This Unreal Engine Super Mario Bros. Remake
Only problem I have is that the screen's a bit too small. You couldn't even see that 1-Up.
Re: Random: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Trick Gets You All Korok Seeds In 10 Minutes

Re: Random: We've Been Waiting Over Half A Decade For A "New" Mainline Zelda Game

I was a little kid playing Smash Bros Brawl with my brothers. I did a final smash and then my robot guy turned into some random girl. It was very confusing.
Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Reminds Nintendo Fans About 3DS & Wii U eShop Closure Dates
@strollin_stu Yeah for me, not being able to add funds isn't a big deal because my switch, wii u, and 3ds accounts have a synced balance.

@PessitheMystic the 3ds internet settings music is unironically good
Re: You Can Now Play Steam Games Using Your Retro Switch Controllers

Re: Nintendo Switch Sports Adds Matt And Other Returning Mii Opponents To Offline Mode
@Fizza precisely, yet he doesn't show it. here, he's visibly annoyed
Re: Nintendo Switch Sports Adds Matt And Other Returning Mii Opponents To Offline Mode
why is matt angry, he should be deadpan like normal
Re: Brand New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Mod Successfully Adds Multiplayer Splitscreen
@calbeau Yeah, there's so much potential for 2 player shrines. Maybe do it like Human Fall Flat, where every puzzle has many ways to do it, and the singleplayer solution is wildly different from the 2 player solution.
Re: This Game Boy-Inspired Handheld Is A Budget Answer To Modern-Day Retro Gaming

Re: Square Enix Confirms It's Making Final Fantasy NFTs
At any rate, I'm glad to see Mojang turning down NFTs.
Re: Random: Sneak A Peek At Nintendo's Amazing 2022 Company Guide
Looks nice. It'll probably sell for some outrageous price on eBay or one of those video game auction things, which makes me sad.
Re: Yuji Naka Is Shocked That Michael Jackson's Music Is Missing In Sonic Origins
@bonjong23 yeah, it'd be better if it was just Jon's and the first guy's because the other 2 are the same thing.
Re: Poll: Do You Think We'll Get A Nintendo Direct Next Week?
A new mario game would be so awesome. As would a new DK.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Has Been Updated On Switch
It's so good. Singleplayer, multiplayer, it's all so fun. I haven't personally experienced any bugs.
Re: Here's How Sonic 3's New Music In Sonic Origins Stacks Up To The Classics
That sucks. I probably won't get this. I'll just play Sonic 3 Complete or something.
Re: Mario Movie Producer Defends Chris Pratt's Casting (Again), Says Movie Is 75% Complete
I gotta see it, even if the movie is terrible. Chris Pratt's voice in Mario is gonna be so stupid it'll be funny.
