I wish they'd treat Zelda more like a standard Lego theme, there's so many awesome possibilities for the theme. People would love smaller more affordable sets along side the large ones. And I'm so glad it's not like robot Lego Mario.
@aaronsullivan your story gives me hope. I got it about 50 min after preorders opened, wasn't sure how 'secure' a preorder from Walmart is compared to GameStop or Best Buy.
I hope there are more returning vehicles. I always enjoy seeing the B-Dasher, Tiny Titan or Rally Romper, Pipe Frame, and others. I hope more are to come, so we'll see.
The fact that it's two johto starters may mean that the next legends title might take place there. It would be really exciting to see the events of the burnt tower and Suicune, Raikou, and Entei. Just a theory. I did really love the ancient Japan vibes of Arceus
Mall or City seems to be the best choice, leaves open opportunities for different theming, either different stores or businesses. In a city you can have a diversity of locations in addition, such as the park, a big bank, A Capital Building, Casino, Stadium, etc.
It will be pretty underwhelming when the announcement drops. Granted, we have no idea, only vague clues about the system seller games coming in the first year. We also have nothing major coming in February, so something has to be announced this month. Maybe in the next 2 weeks. When in doubt we always get a direct in February so maybe then
All those franchises got boosted by really good games. All of Xenoblade and almost all of Pikmin are on the switch not to mention the best in the series.
Now we just need Star Fox, F-Zero, Kid Icarus, Earthbound, and the other smaller franchises to really get some love.
Just give Star Fox to retro and let them make lemonade please. Also remaster Kid Icarus Uprising, please and thank you
My hope is if this game gets the love it deserves, Purple Lamp and THQ Nordic will create a new sequel like they did from Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated to the Cosmic Shake. That and these guys know platformers, so there's a good chance we'll get a really good product. Disney give them the green light please
@dcstud The areas will definitely load faster, and there won't be any frame dips.
@canaryfarmer If you don't want to play it, I'd recommend checking out the story, the cutscenes, and the story of the games development. That can hold you over for a few hours
It's a wild blend of Platforming, puzzles, quests, and a moral system. It does well with it's heart felt story, the world and atmosphere, the characters. I would advise if you want to complete it, definitely have a guide ready, as there are some quests you can skip over and fail by progressing to a certain point.
I think it's a game worth your time, especially if you grew up on disney or are a disney fan. I personally hope that we see a new sequel come out if this succeeds. I would also recommend doing the deep dive of video essays on youtube on Epic Mickey, its a fascinating story, almost meta story. It's a shame it happened to launch around Zelda and Plucky Squire, more eyes were on those games than this title.
I'm happy Epic Mickey is back. Hopefully it sells enough to warrant THQ Nordic and Purple Lamp to make a new and better sequel. The amount information about this game is really cool. The development history, concept art, animation history, it's quiet the rabbit hole if want to look. This year people leaked some more internal videos like the original concept pitch, the shorts made for the sequel, and other things
Honestly, it's probably better to just play the original of either or play the DICE Battlefront 2 on PC. It works well now and all the cosmetics and additions are pretty fun. The tough part is if people are still playing this game anymore after such a devastating launch
This just feels weird, with horizon being such a serious franchise and all. When they were showing off you build a town it feels so mismatched with the IP.
I'm a Lego fan but it feels like they're throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks at this point.
The Bosses and Mechanical Beasts in Lego does look fantastic, I will say
I am slightly triggered by the blue gem on the master sword, as well as no Ocarina of Time version of the Hylian Shield and Master Sword. I know it's such small details, if it could be amended in the future, much appreciate.
As far as future sets, I could see more 2 in 1 like these being done. Hyrule castle would be a good choice, as twilight princess and Breath of the Wild have very similar designs.
It's easy to pull the plot of one of the games and put it up on the screen, but these characters honestly need more depth, motivation, traits in general. I love the movie as a fan, but as a guy who cares about stories, I think they need to really try something new.
I feel an important thing for this movie as well is to expand the Mario world itself. Visit new lands and show us how vast it is like in the games. We saw so many cool locations in the travel montage but never acutally get to spend time there.
Trying out Hot Wheels Unleashed 2. Heard good things about the first game, and they just dropped the acceleracers content which I'm very nostalgic for. Very excited
I'm so excited. Hopefully, if this does well, we could see other adventures in this universe. There are so many creatvie possibilities with the setting and characters. And a graphical upgrade could really send home the visuals wth the dark ominous areas as well as the light and colorful ones.
I'm gonna fight the cynicism with one of Jim Carey's own quotes: I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.
On a different note, I would hope we get to see more new characters than just Shadow. Metal Sonic, Amy, Rogue, or Big would be fun inclusions, they were all present in Adventure 2. It would present a good story problem of a few different sonic impostors running around causing confusion and chaos.
I guess I'm wondering if they would add new stages from the games that have come out since generations. That but also what other stages they'd give shadow besides SA2B and Shadow the Hedgehog
@larryisaman I agree not enough guns or swearing in the trailer
In all seriousness, I'm hyped. I've slowly become a sonic fan over the years. I hope they dip their toes in the Sonic Heroes, or redeem games with shoddy execution like forces and 06.
It's hard to pick. If you wanted to make direct adaptations of the stories, skyward sword might be the best place to start. It is the genesis of the timeline, and it could set the stage for a MCU for Nintendo in Movies.
The Original Legend of Zelda might also be a good pick. It's straight forward and to the point. It could leave little hints and traces of what's gone before and what's come after.
One benefit I see from doing ocarina or a link to the past is that we follow that particular incarnation of link through a few different games.

thankfully there aren't a ton of babies or koopalings in this roster. I wonder if they will add more obscure characters from the franchise
Re: Talking Point: Where Should 'Luigi's Mansion 4' Take Place?

Re: Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Receives A New Update, Here's What's Included
@Nintendo4Sonic Imagine the Sequel borrows from Astro Bot, where you rescue modern Disney characters that fell into the wasteland. That's be cool

Re: Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Receives A New Update, Here's What's Included
@Truegamer79 While I share the sentiment that it shouldn't have to be patched, it was still very playable when it came out.

@batmanbud2 In short, Yes

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From The Next Super Mario Bros. Movie?
So many things I'd want to see
It's easy to pull the plot of one of the games and put it up on the screen, but these characters honestly need more depth, motivation, traits in general. I love the movie as a fan, but as a guy who cares about stories, I think they need to really try something new.

Re: Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Is A Switch Remake Of A Wii Favourite
I hope they expand the world and levels a bit, maybe even pull some areas or content from the second game since that was a train wreck.
Re: Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Is A Switch Remake Of A Wii Favourite
I'm so excited. Hopefully, if this does well, we could see other adventures in this universe. There are so many creatvie possibilities with the setting and characters. And a graphical upgrade could really send home the visuals wth the dark ominous areas as well as the light and colorful ones.

Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Should Be Adapted For The Movie?
It's hard to pick. If you wanted to make direct adaptations of the stories, skyward sword might be the best place to start. It is the genesis of the timeline, and it could set the stage for a MCU for Nintendo in Movies.
