I really had a blast with Ultra Hand, I spend hours making a hybrid vehicle that could drive, float, fly and destroy enemies. It was a real struggle with the build limits...
However, I don't need an Ultra Hand mechanic in the next Zelda game, I'm ready for a more traditional Zelda experience. I had fun with Ultra Hand, but it was basically a game within a game and probably devoured a lot of development time. I'd rather see that time spend elsewhere next time.
@Lizuka Tear Streaked and Bright Sandstorm were pretty cool. But yeah, previous entries had way more songs that sticked with me. Three houses and the 3DS games had some of the best OST. They're still among my favourite videogame OSTs.
Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur's Gate 3 are both awesome games about freedom. I think they're both great games, but for me Baldur's Gate 3 was on another level. The characters have wonderful voice acting and backstories, the gameplay was innovative and addicting, the soundtrack was a banger. The amount of freedom and choices you could make that would influence the game were unprecedented.
Tears of the Kingdom I liked because it had the same gameplay as Breath of the Wild but with the addition of Ultra Hand. I had a fun time making crazy vehicles... But overall it didn't feel as refreshing as BG3. If ToTK took place in a new overworld it would've been a different story.
Kokiri Forest is handholding, but it doesn't feel like handholding... It's really clever. It's set-up so the player will learn most mechanics without the game telling the player to go learn that mechanic, like in most games.
@Olliemar28
Thanks for the guide! However, I just came across an error in the order:
You cannot normally get the X-Ray visor before the Gravity Suit and Power Bomb. You need the Power Bomb to get to the X-Ray Visor, and you need the Gravity Suit to get to the Power Bomb.
Not sure about the rest since I'm still in my first ever playthrough!
I like the new face. Peach needed a bit more expression for her new role in the spotlights. The original face is a bit doll-like and that makes it harder to do subtle emotions. I have nothing against the original face but I won't really miss it either if this is their new take on the princess.
ToTK Ganondorf has a cool design and is great for memes. But as a villain and character he's pretty weak. He didn't do anything that the other Ganondorfs didn't do already.
I liked ToTK a lot, but I don't think it's game of the year material. I don't think it's as polished or refined as you guys say it is. There's some great stuff like building vehicles but there's also so much that could've been a lot better.
BOTW for me was a better experience. I like the cake analogy and agree with it
What does it for me is the re-used colors on the joy-cons. If you want to sell a new product and present it as the next generation it's a very poor idea to use the same color scheme.
But the joy-cons that switch between two modes does feel like something Nintendo would do, on the other hand they're incredibly ugly.
To be completely honest, I am not entirely convinced it's fake. I mean, I was pretty sure the early leaks of Fire Emblem Engage were fake because of the overall poor quality and ugly design decisions (it turned out alright). It's not unthinkable this is a mockup from an earlier phase.
Looks wonderful, stopmotion is always nice to watch! Stopmotion is very time expensive ...I hope they don't get pressured like the people behind the recent games!
Looks great! I wonder what the accessories will be with this one. I only got the Lucina Figma so far. I'm worried that if I get this one I will start collecting them
One of my favourite Fire Emblem games! Characters, story and music were all on point. There was a good balance in the gameplay, not too simple nor complicated. It may not be my absolute favourite, but it's hard to point out any obvious flaws in this entry. I should definitely replay Blazing Blade at some point. Engage tried to do something similar to the four fangs and Nino with the ''four hounds'' but failed rather miserably. Engage copied way too much homework from older games and tried to sell it with a vibrant new coat of paint. If someone who never played a Fire Emblem game asked me where to start, I'd probably recommend Blazing Blade over any of the newer games.
I think it's a good game and I enjoyed it a lot, but at the same time it's not really what I hoped for. ToTK didn't really scratch my itch for exploring. I've finished the story and most shrines and lightened up the underground, now it's starting to get a bit stale. I know this Hyrule like the back of my hand. They added the underground and the sky islands, however there's surprisingly little to do in the underground, smack a Yiga clan member of their bike, go to some roots, defeat some more bosses... The sky islands look great visually but also don't offer a lot of variation.
I think the story is more interesting than its predecessor. The memories were interesting to watch. I also liked the new characters like Rauru and Sonia. Although I think this Ganondorf might be my least favourite of the bunch, the final battle was rather epic. I didn't like the sages at all to be honest, but Zelda's story arc was nice.
This game needed a lot more different enemies. Compared to BoTW there's only a few more, and back then all of them were ''new''. I kinda miss the guardians from BOTW, they were unique and unlike the gloom hands you couldn't just blow them up with bomb flowers. Also the music, not really an improvement in my honest opinion... BOTW had some bangers like Hyrule Castle, Daruk's theme and Divine Beast Vah Ruta. TOTK had... Colgera's battle and Hyrule Castle? And honestly I still prefer BOTW's version of the castle. The dungeons and shrines? Slight improvement but not by much.
Also, they kept some annoying things like the breaking weapons and korok seeds. For real, who thought it would be fun to collect another 1000 of those??? Ultra Hand is pretty cool, but yeah, in the end I believe I enjoyed BOTW more than TOTK because of the new factor.
The only one where I had to gamble was Tears of the Kingdom Zelda, because Age of Calamity looked plausible as well. Haven't played that game or really payed attention to it. But the torch from the opening of ToTK put me in the right direction.
Btw, what do you get when you score 0/17? I wonder
I recently started Sunbreak, replaying the game on PC. Just beat Malzeno. I'm looking forward to the really challenging monsters like the risen elder dragons and this new Malzeno.
Also gotta say... 1 new monster for the final update, and it's a variant... That's rather dissapointing
@Il_Nintenditore Nah, just the way people go about it... You at least put ''my opinion'' behind well... your opinion. Some comments are just ''This one shouldn't be this high, it's really not as good as you think! Facts!''
Not that I really care, I was just messing around, as I'm sure more users in this comment section are.
Also... I believe him when he said it's gonna be a big game. The amount of content in Hollow Knight was amazing for its price tag, even the DLC was free. I almost felt bad only paying 15,- for all that
Take all the time you need team Cherry, Hollow Knight is a classic. The more I played it the more I fell in love with it. My excitement for Silksong is great but I don't mind waiting a bit longer for a better end product.
I definitely was super excited for BoTW and the final trailer got me to a hype level I've only had for a handful of games. The delay also played a part, waiting for a new 3D Zelda game for that long was excruciating!
I like that the BoTW trailer starts out slow, the pacing and music is amazing. But it also shows so many epic shots! Yeah, ToTK trailer is also cool but for me BoTW wins by a large margin!
The EU one for me, I think the title is enough indication that you're going to play a story based game. I don't mind the others but this one is more classy.
The Azran Legacy cover from europe with the shining gold is especially epic
Hmmm, TotK's Ganondorf design looks good but his legs look a bit short... I mean for Wind Waker's Ganondorf I get it because the game has a cartoonish style. Maybe it's just the promotional art but it looks a bit odd to me.
That's why I went for OoT's Ganondorf, that one looks the most human and he's also my favourite in terms of character.
I hope TotK shows Ganondorf as a character and doesn't simply make him a final boss.
Wait, so the blocks aren't attached to the background of the level?!
...Anyway, I don't think this has to be explained. The world of Mario doesn't have to follow the rules of real world psychics. Not that this really counts as a logical explanation... Sharing this was pretty unnecessary and might just encourage people to ask for more unnecessary explanations to explain Mario logic.
Since NintendoLife is also getting a Twitch channel with Alex, I would love if being a NL supporter would also make you a member of the NL channel. Just an idea, maybe not possible to turn into reality, but would absolutely be an incentive for me to become a supporter!
Anyway, been a member here for 11 years and I still come her often because of the good content, I might become a supporter in the future.
''Nobody does more of the same better than Nintendo''
Sure, I guess... and I would like it to stop. I'm getting tired of seeing the same formulas in series like Fire Emblem, Pokémon, Splatoon and Zelda. Always makes me wonder if the next game will be different enough.
...and in my opinion it's not weird ToTK reaction to the trailer wasn't all that positive: 10 minutes for some gameplay mechanics leaves a lot to be desired.
I'm not sure... what I really want is new areas, a better story than BoTW, more memorable soundtracks and preferably unique dungeons. Besides the new mechanics (that look a bit odd at first glance) this trailer didn't show too much new stuff. Definitely ''Hmm, bit dull'' for me
Ace Attorney and Professor Layton are at the top of my favourite game series. I really enjoyed the 6 mainline Professor Layton games and the VS Phoenix Wright spin-off. I prefer the original Layton trilogy, though I don't mind the one that came after. I think it's best to leave the series as it is. I don't believe Level-5 will (or can) bring this series back. Still, I hope one day another studio can bring the original 6 games back to modern day consoles, fully drawn in HD.
But yeah, I miss you Layton. I know it sounds cheesy, but these games really have a special place in my heart.
Extremely noble, extremely charismatic and EXTREMELY overused
I really don't think these returning lords are going to help this game. They had their story. It also doesn't help that Fire Emblem lords are usually in the same character archetype. Most of them aren't all that different.
I'm also afraid they will go heavy on DLC or even go the gacha direction.
They should just focus on making the new characters as fleshed out as they can be.
I'm not feeling these designs. If someone told me these were from Xenoblades Chronicles or Genshin Impact I would believe them. It's too anime for my taste. I prefer the more down to earth style from Shadows of Valentia.
I recently played Hollow Knight for the first time. Loved every second of it. It's in my top 3 games ever. Can't wait for Silksong. I don't know why I waited so long with playing Hollow Knight as a Metroidvania fan... but at least I didn't have to wait 5 years for Silksong xD
It looks like this will be a skip, at least for now.
A lot of improvements over Splatoon 2, I dig that Salmon runs are always available now, but speaking in Splatoon terms: I'm looking for a ''fresh'' experience and the lack of a new mode is what's holding me back for now. No splitscreen for local multiplayer is also a bit of a shame. I wonder how this compares to Splatoon 2 with all the updates and the Octoling DLC, that was a pretty good expansion. Maybe Splatoon 3 gets some cool new content later in its lifespan. Anyway, I see no harm in waiting for a discount.
To those strongly against voice chat... What if:
The game had voice chat... that you can turn off. Not only you can be happy, but the players that want in-game voice chat can be as well. Crazy right?
@Angelic_Lapras_King That is actually a clever idea for an easy mode! Maybe it can distract the E.M.M.I. for a few seconds as well? Too bad that particular Metroid is no longer with us... Story wise it wouldn't make much sense to bring baby Metroid back.
Thanks for the guide! That final boss was hard! Did you guys figure out everything yourself?
Amazing game, I wish it was a bit longer. Also, some bosses / parts where a bit repetitive IMO... This game be like: I heard you like Chozo soldiers, here's some more Chozo soldiers. Overall a great experience though!
@JasmineDragon I really liked the first two avatar games on DS: The Last Airbender, which is kind of a side story to book 1, and ''The Burning Earth'' (a retelling of book 2)
Those are the only two I played from start to finish... It's definitely a serie with the potential to be an amazing RPG or fighting game.
Bought this game on steam... it wasn't for me. I refunded it after 2 hours. I simply didn't like the controls and some of the move priorities were a bit odd to me. Also, it seems pretty bare for the current price tag so I didn't see myself playing it for a long time.
I didn't notice framedrops when I played in handheld. Not that it matters, it's the gameplay I just can't get into. I love BOTW and everything Zelda but these Warrior games just aren't for me
@Lionyone When I think of scalpers, people who can't afford food or heating aren't the first that come to mind. If you ask me, it isn't the most logical conclusion. $49.99 is a lot of food you know. Scalping is a form of investment, you need a (small) starting capital in order to start scalping. Money that can be used in another way. So people scalping expensive limited editions to ''survive'' doesn't sound that realistic to me. What we do know is that scalping is a relative easy way to make money, people with few morals that also don't want to work hard are undoubtedly drawn to this practice...
@Nemesis666 Try to relax, I could be wrong and it's possible Iwata would fully support this as well. I do not care to defend the former president. However let's not forget how Nintendo changed over the past few years. My Nintendo and Miiverse dissapeared, it's nowadays odd if games don't get DLC, Nintendo online was introduced. I can't help but miss the days when Iwata was president and if these limited releases became a regular event that would truly show a decline in customer loyalty/service (whatever you want to call it). Ofcourse the blind fans will just claim that all of these changes are part of the time / inevitable
The art in the special edition is absolutely beautiful
But like many fans negative feelings are more prominent because of the limited availability. I'm dissapointed in Nintendo. If Iwata was still alive I imagine he would condemn this practice as well. I remember his love for video games and how he wanted them to be accessible. Even if this practice leads to more sales, some people (perhaps a very small amount) will be dissapointed they missed out. This is no way to show appreciation to us customers.

Amazing game, I wish it was a bit longer. Also, some bosses / parts where a bit repetitive IMO... This game be like: I heard you like Chozo soldiers, here's some more Chozo soldiers. Overall a great experience though!
Re: Review: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - A Strong Platform Fighter With Polish Problems
@JasmineDragon
I really liked the first two avatar games on DS: The Last Airbender, which is kind of a side story to book 1, and ''The Burning Earth'' (a retelling of book 2)
Those are the only two I played from start to finish... It's definitely a serie with the potential to be an amazing RPG or fighting game.
Re: Review: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - A Strong Platform Fighter With Polish Problems
Bought this game on steam... it wasn't for me. I refunded it after 2 hours. I simply didn't like the controls and some of the move priorities were a bit odd to me. Also, it seems pretty bare for the current price tag so I didn't see myself playing it for a long time.

Re: What's Up With The Frame Rate In The Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Demo?
I didn't notice framedrops when I played in handheld. Not that it matters, it's the gameplay I just can't get into. I love BOTW and everything Zelda but these Warrior games just aren't for me
Re: Of Course Scalpers Are Already Listing Fire Emblem's 30th Anniversary Edition
@Lionyone When I think of scalpers, people who can't afford food or heating aren't the first that come to mind. If you ask me, it isn't the most logical conclusion. $49.99 is a lot of food you know. Scalping is a form of investment, you need a (small) starting capital in order to start scalping. Money that can be used in another way. So people scalping expensive limited editions to ''survive'' doesn't sound that realistic to me. What we do know is that scalping is a relative easy way to make money, people with few morals that also don't want to work hard are undoubtedly drawn to this practice...
Re: The Original Fire Emblem Is Coming To The West For The First Time Ever On Switch
@Nemesis666 Try to relax, I could be wrong and it's possible Iwata would fully support this as well. I do not care to defend the former president. However let's not forget how Nintendo changed over the past few years. My Nintendo and Miiverse dissapeared, it's nowadays odd if games don't get DLC, Nintendo online was introduced. I can't help but miss the days when Iwata was president and if these limited releases became a regular event that would truly show a decline in customer loyalty/service (whatever you want to call it). Ofcourse the blind fans will just claim that all of these changes are part of the time / inevitable
Re: The Original Fire Emblem Is Coming To The West For The First Time Ever On Switch
The art in the special edition is absolutely beautiful
But like many fans negative feelings are more prominent because of the limited availability. I'm dissapointed in Nintendo. If Iwata was still alive I imagine he would condemn this practice as well. I remember his love for video games and how he wanted them to be accessible. Even if this practice leads to more sales, some people (perhaps a very small amount) will be dissapointed they missed out. This is no way to show appreciation to us customers.
