It's now showing that a black wall scroll is coming soon. That one isn't available to pre-order yet.

I’m crying that it’s still 8 months away.

Played this on Apple Arcade. It was decent but definitely recommend getting on sale.

Zelda II. It’s basically the game that got me into RPGs as well. I loved that you could visit towns and stuff, which I hadn’t seen in any previous game I played.

@moodycat

What are you even getting at? NL does this with every major release. They make an article with a summary of scores it received, even if they didn’t give it a very high score themselves.

XC fans know what we’re getting with this game. That’s why we’re excited for it.

That developer has another game called The Fly Plane: Flight Simulator. Lol

NES is what got me into gaming. But I remember playing Pitfall at a friend’s house before that.

@DoomTurtle

Son Son is the free game.

This game is looking really good! Have a copy preordered at Amazon.

I’m on the East Coast in the US, and was able to access it just past midnight last night.

February 27 is my birthday lol.

I’m planning to get this. Only Pokémon game I’ve ever finished was Moon lol.

I got my physical copy in yesterday. Already took down the Owl King but lost to the next boss I fought. I just don’t like how going into your inventory screen doesn’t pause the game. I’ve died once or twice because of this, and this isn’t even the first game that’s guilty of this. I’m just going to have to get used to pressing the minus button to pause.

I got the launch edition from GS for $20. Nice to see they have been patching it. (Haven’t played it yet.)

Maybe it was supposed to go on sale for $2.50, but somehow got listed as $250? Idk

Preordered this weeks ago in the US.

Yeah, it’s really easy to get in the US. Not everyone lives in the US, apparently. Haha

I bought them in the US along with the Special Edition. Both are really nice!

SS is one of my least favorite Zelda games, and I still like it. Just an amazing series overall.

A 1 hour stream for a shmup is enough time to show the entire game lol.

I preordered from Walmart and got an 11 oz mug as well. Now I’m worried I’ll be up all night this Friday drinking coffee and playing Metroid.

@anoyonmus

A Short Hike also got a 10 here. I recall seeing others as well, but those are the first two that come to mind. For the people talking about length, it sounds about the same as other Metroid games. That’s fine with me - and 10 hours can feel like a lot more if the game is challenging. I’m playing CotM on Castlevania Advance Collection. My in game time is about 5 hours, and I beat HoD in 7 or so. But my Switch says I’ve played the collection for over 20 hours, and I know why. Lol

But really, not every game needs to be 50 hours. I’ll probably replay it enough that I surpass that time eventually, like with Link’s Awakening.

Looking forward to this!

@gojiguy, I’ve seen quite a few indie games get a 10 on here though.

@Kidfunkadelic83

You can get 300 points weekly from playing Pocket Camp and Mario Run…But yeah, definitely wish there was an easier way. If you haven’t played FE Heroes at all, then doing the story missions is an easy way to get several thousand points.

It was 500 platinum coins when I redeemed earlier, not 900.

I play the game every now and then. It’s been a while since I’ve been PAC-One. Cool theme, I’ll be sure to download it.

Finished off Great Ace Attorney 1, and started up the sequel. I’ll play some Tetris 99 tomorrow for the Skyward Sword theme.

SMB 1-1, no doubt. (Thanks SMB35!)

Funny reading Tom’s comment about reaching Goron City in BotW, because that’s how I did it the first time too, lol.

It’s hard to pick a favorite memory, but it was probably beating Zelda II as a kid. Or getting the Master Sword in ALTTP.

The scalpers can have this one. I’ll stick with my AC:NH console.

Cool game - glad it’s getting a sequel.

@SwitchForce

It’s on other platforms...or did you mean that you want a physical copy?

@BloodNinja

Well, you’re entitled to your opinions. Most people like to see a series continue, even if there are some recurring elements. Basically, no matter what you say, I still want a new 2D Ninja Gaiden. 😎

I like the genre, but this series is just too crazy for me. Lol

@BloodNinja

Using that logic, Metroid should have stopped at Super Metroid, and 2D Mario at SMB3. I get that the NES NG trilogy is great. That’s why I want a new one!

If only we could get a new 2D Ninja Gaiden.

Can’t say I’m surprised by the overreaction to the “low” score. It’s amazing what the internet has done to people’s mindsets.

7 or lower: TRASH
8: Passable
9: Hey, maybe I’ll check this out!
10: “Ooh, it’s flawless!” Or “Overrated TRASH!”

@BloodNinja

Yes, Samus is a woman. But pretty sure that I’m a man lol.

I remember the Justin Bailey password well. It was how I beat the game on numerous occasions, before being a man and finally beating the game the normal way.

Played this on PS1 back in the day. Not the best JRPG ever, but it’s alright.

@ChessboardMan

Ok, thanks. I was genuinely curious because I don’t recall the name of the studio that made HLD. (Not to mention a key developer on the game could have formed a new studio or something.)

Looks cool regardless. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.

Is this from the Hyper Light Drifter developer?

Normally, I vote Zelda. But Dread is closer, so that’s what I’m really looking forward to.

Zelda: “Yo, Link, I hear you like motorboating.”

So does this mean you only have to fight The Imprisoned once now?

Rocket League, Smash and Animal Crossing are the ones I won’t archive.

Preordered a physical copy - never played the series before. Looks fun.

I have this on my wishlist. I’ll get it when it’s on sale.

I never played these games, so I’m looking forward to this. I liked the two DS entries.

I’m keeping my preorder no matter what, but some of you guys make a good point that only Nintendo really seems to charge this much for 2D games these days. That’s partly because most of them are from indie studios, but Capcom only charged $30 for Mega Man11. So there’s that..
