I would buy that in a heart-beat.. if it was the European SNES, because I have zero affinity with the purple one.

" or 's trick where you have to switch controller ports to stop the boss from "reading your mind". These weird little fourth-wall-breaking tricks are annoying when you're playing the game, for sure, but become legendary as time goes on, and nostalgia's erosion rounds off the sharp edges."

I guess this sentence meant to include "MGS"? How were these things ever annoying though? Back then they were also amazing. Slightly frustrating to figure out? Yes. But super satisfying when you do, more so than most "puzzles".

"Phantom Hourglass punched through the fourth wall and broke into the meta-game by insisting that you transfer details from the top screen to the bottom screen by folding your DS in half like a book."

Hotel Dusk was the first to do that afaik and I absolutely loved it! Though I didn't see that as them breaking the fourth wall, but more as them making the game(s) even more immersive.

@Crockin Same here..

Even if Nintendo releases a regular N64 port of OoT for the Switch at full price, I'd still buy it instantly... I realise I'm part of the problem, sorry about that!

@BloodNinja You just sold your 3DS?

NINJA DISAPPROVED

To me, the new art-style is just absolutely atrocious. I honestly don't understand how some people can say this looks nice. Have you looked at Link's Awakening and compared it to this? There are even plenty of indie games that look way better than this, be it 2D or 3D.

I guess perhaps there is a generation of gamers who thinks these cheap looking mobile games are good looking? I'm honestly shocked there are this many people defending a game that looks as bad as this. Bare in mind, Pokemon is a billion dollar franchise and you should be expecting the best, not accepting the worse (and all this is coming from someone who thought Sword and Shield was very enjoyable [and was never bothered about the tree graphics], though I also understand the criticism other fans gave it and agree it could've been even better).

EDIT: On a more positive note, I think Legends is a great step in the right direction, but I'm also a sucker for nostalgia and would've gladly bought this game if it looked anywhere close to Link's Awakening's remake.

I don't mind the chibi art-style, but what I do mind is the ugly, low effort textures, which make it look like a mobile game and the lack of proper lighting effects.

As others have said, just look at how nice Link's Awakening looks and then look at this..

Definitely glad they announced this after the horrible looking D/P remasters. This one's graphics are a bit on the rough side as well, but there's definitely a lot of potential here and it really seems to be promising for the future of Pokemon games. I even like the historical setting, even though you know they just did that so they can justify the world being emptier (same as BotW, which was an amazing game).

@Baker1000 Release him!

@Johnnel Link's Awakening looks gorgeous and has quite sophisticated post-processing effects going on. This on the other hand.. I think most people are not hating on the fact it has a chibi art-style, but the fact it looks like a cheap mobile game.

I can't believe there are 2D and 3D indie games, made by a handful of people (sometimes only one), that look WAY better than this game by a billion dollar company. It honestly baffles me.

This is looking pretty great, definitely interested in getting this one on Switch, depending on performance.

@AndyC_MK84 41 boxes times 3$ = 1 card at $123
$123 times 25 cards = $3075

If you say the cards are worth £220 on average, that would be £220 times 25 = £5500, which would still be a nice profit, so I don't get your point..

Even though I know I shouldn't buy this, with it being a rather lazy port and remaster in general.. it's still Commandos on the Switch. I vastly prefer Behind Enemy Lines and Beyond the Call of Duty, plus I've never played Commandos with a controller before, but I still have to buy this. ^^'

My apologies for supporting practices like this.

I missed not having a box art brawl last week. >,<

Also, I voted for the Japanese one. I definitely love seeing the little globe with the worlds depicted on there.

@Auggie_Plays_Games I like the European one more...

I hate that Nintendo has done the bare minimum with these games, but the problem is, even the bare minimum still gives you three amazing games on one disc. So yes, I bought it right away.

Remember Club Nintendo? Good times..

That's a pretty awesome studio to purchase. Microsoft releases everything on PC, so it doesn't really affect me at all. Wouldn't even surprise me if Microsoft still lets these games release on all platforms.

I bought the Zelda box, hoping it has something nice in it, plus I like the t-shirt.

Also bought the AC stuff, because I think the coasters look quite nice and the shirt seems fine for wearing around the house. The three items together being dirt cheap also helps.

On a side note, the ZELDALIFE code didn't give me 3 pounds off.

@Octane Judging from the comment section, it seems your sarcasm was lost on most. ^^'

@Eel Indeed, seeing all the negativity against the Switch version is also exactly what made me want to tell about my experience with it. I believe it's possible that at the moment it's not working properly though, but I'm too lazy to check myself. ^^'

I haven't played Minecraft on the Switch for ages, but when I bought the physical edition, I played it almost everyday for weeks and it worked flawlessly. Strange how it seems they really managed to bugger it up with the updates.

Makes sense Sunday would be a slow news day..

While this definitely isn't bad by any means, I don't understand why you would compare this to Studio Ghibli. I guess because the artist mentioned it?

DKC definitely has some of the best music in gaming history, so obviously no-one would be against him composing more music for this amazing series! I also agree that King K. Rool has to come back!

@Timmytron I think you should have a good long look in the mirror, if things like videogames gets you so riled up.. Also, I'm helping myself by getting the item I want.

@Timmytron Sorry for not being poor and wanting something? Pathetic, trying to attack me for my purchase.

One of the few collector's editions I've bought! Shipping and taxes were horrendous, but oh well.. ^^'

Shame you know it's going to be outdated at some point (when a new update releases), but I kinda doubt this game will ever get another physical release anyway.

I will definitely buy this if it ever releases physically! If it seems like that's never going to happen, I'll probably still end up buying it digitally.

@Big_Fudge Xenoblade is not a port..

Plus you're forgetting about Animal Crossing, which means your criteria has already been met.

@Agriculture You're just going to keep commenting that?

@BenAV Couldn't agree more with everything you said.

@Zuljaras You and me both!

It just looks so bland and cheap to me, lacking any sort of ambience which would make me want to spend my time there. I know graphics don't make a game, but I'd take some nicely made pixel art over.. this any day.

@BlueOcean First thing it reminded me of as well.

I'm definitely loving Colt Canyon. It's a bit annoying it came out at the same time I finally received Hotline Miami physically, which I was looking forward to playing again, but now I prefer to play Colt Canyon instead. ^^'

@Dog To each their own.

@patbacknitro18 I'm very glad this is the way Nintendo approaches mobile gaming. And in the end, I think Nintendo deserves to become bigger than they're now. For example, I'd love to see a proper anime for The Legend of Zelda and I hope Nintendo will keep trying to use its IP's in different types of media.

@RupeeClock I'm actually wondering if this is legal. Taking inspiration from something else is fine, but this indeed just seems like copying while making some minor changes.

@gcunit Sad, but most times true. I can sort of live with the separate versions of the main game (though that's also just a relic from the past), but having the DLC be split in the same way is quite silly.

In Nintendo's defence, they don't have much say in the Pokemon franchise afaik.

"Those after a supporting storyline might be disappointed"

I think that's a rather strange con, since you could put the same con on pretty much every Mario review, yet I've never seen it being put there.

22/25, not bad. Got Rowan, Tank and Wilbur wrong. Can't believe I got Wilbur wrong, though I even right away realised it was the pilot, I still clicked the wrong name anyway (Wilfred). ^^'

That's very nicely done and definitely takes me back!

I remember playing with this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one for hours and hours (incredible how little a child needs to keep itself entertained):

Not my picture btw, I either lost mine ages ago or my parents gave it away. ^^'

@sikthvash If you hadn't said this I wouldn't even have realised it was released on Steam, even though I'm mostly a PC gamer and think this game looks great. Will definitely buy it either on Switch or PC soon.

@Chunkboi79 Of course they will.

@playstation_king It's still classed as an action-adventure game. I don't think anything can ever be classed as a RPG without a levelling system.

@playstation_king The Zelda games are action-adventure games, always have been.

@playstation_king Zelda is clearly not a JRPG...

@Branovices I agree, it made me think the leak was fake, before reading the article of course.

"Your car auto-accelerates for one thing, while using a drift button to slide around corners will accrue boost for your nitro."

What does this mean exactly if I may ask? Does the car drive by itself or does letting go of the accelerate button not do anything?

@Shepdawg1 "Hopefully supply rebounds and they're left with an abundance of stock that they can't profit off of."

Exactly what I was thinking (and hoping)!
