I have a sealed Wii U copy of 1 and 2, but I’m tempted to go all-in with the three titles on Switch. That super ginchy mondo deluxe set caught my eye, and I never get that stuff. Well Skyward Sword, but that was the last one.
Link to the Past. My now-wife introduced me to it on her SNES. My buddies and I had a Genesis. We played that and Super Mario 64 (she had that one, too). Then came OoT. I was pretty doubtful, but “Give it some time,” she said. I’ve played it at least 30 times since.
It’s a bit odd that mid to late 90s games hold up better in my opinion than games from the early 2000s. Might be projection on my part and the diff between games that go after fantasy versus some attempt at realism.
Very cool game, and perfectly understandable that it can be a fave. I played through Odyssey and didn't enjoy it that much, even granting it's creativity - maybe because I played the entire time in handheld. Sunshine offers a different experience.
The one that caught my eye is Townscaper. Reminds me of the wonderful therapy of just coloring. It also made me think of Sesame Street. I may have to snag it.
I tend to play West of Loathing in rather short sessions as well.

Good heavens.
Re: Gallery: This Zelda Skyward Sword Link Statue Is Quite The Looker
@Ryu_Niiyama Love it - buy a house so you can display your statues. Dig your style, Ryu.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Piece Of Music In A Nintendo Game?
Listening to Frosty Wheel from Kirby's Epic Yarn at this very moment. Love that soundtrack.
And I'm sticking with Majora's Mask Final Hours. Innumerable swellness throughout, however.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Music Track From A Nintendo Game?
Final Hours from Majora's Mask.

What about Oscar or Horace or Walter or whatever that one is called?
Re: Toree 3D Developer Brings Super Kiwi 64 To Switch eShop This December
I don’t see me not getting Kiwi 64. My wife and I had a lot of fun with those 64 collectathons. Very cool.

I’m a sucker for graduated colors.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 10th)
Just hopped on the ACNH train, now that everyone else has disembarked. Good ol’ isle of Semprini.
Re: Random: Animal Crossing Fan Is Visiting Every In-Game Artwork In Real Life
@Kermit1 Just nabbed it. I put a lot of time into New Leaf. Hope this is at least as good.
Re: Random: Animal Crossing Fan Is Visiting Every In-Game Artwork In Real Life
I'm thinking of getting the game now, well after the defining conditions of collective game therapy have largely passed. As for this quest? Marvelous.

Re: Poll: Do You Actually Want Switch Ports Of Wind Waker And Twilight Princess?
Sure is a lot of righteous indignation about how total strangers spend their discretionary income.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Metal Gear: Ghost Babel
NA. Europe and Japan look like they’re posing for a military fashion magazine.
Re: Video: Masahiro Sakurai Talks About Frame Rates In Games
God yes. Enough with the frame rate ***** already. I find it to be entitled and tiresome.
Re: Talking Point: What Was Your First Legend Of Zelda Game?
Link to the Past. My now-wife introduced me to it on her SNES. My buddies and I had a Genesis. We played that and Super Mario 64 (she had that one, too). Then came OoT. I was pretty doubtful, but “Give it some time,” she said. I’ve played it at least 30 times since.
My wife is the coolest.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Wave Race 64
Opaque?
Almost went NA, but chose Japan.

Re: Random: Game Boy Fan Demake For 'Better Call Saul' Looks Like The Perfect Adaptation
They should make a dedicated handheld called the Ozymandias.
Re: Random: Yes, Someone Really Had A Waluigi Bachelorette Party, And It's Amazing
I’m sorry ... “Hen night”?
That’s pretty good.
Re: Review: Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 - An RPG Classic That Time Hasn't Been Too Kind To
Alright, then.
It’s a bit odd that mid to late 90s games hold up better in my opinion than games from the early 2000s. Might be projection on my part and the diff between games that go after fantasy versus some attempt at realism.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Love Minish Cap. But what’s behind Link and Ezlo, about to kick their butts? Ezlo certainly looks more eager.
Re: Backlog Club: Have You Seriously Not Played Portal Yet?
Have both, played neither. I should at least get after the first. I'm not too bright, though, which might be a problem
Re: Deals: Get 10% Off Switch eShop Credit And Top Games In The Nintendo Life Store Sale
@mjco231 It does feel kinda weird, don’t it?
Re: Video: 10 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In August 2022
I’m finding Cult of the Lamb perversely intriguing. And I was unaware that there’s a Blossom Tales II. Thanks for the heads-up.
Re: Deals: Get 10% Off Switch eShop Credit And Top Games In The Nintendo Life Store Sale
@mjco231 Basically a 10% sale on digital games by extension.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon
Lose Hugh and the gargoyle and you’ve got something. I still went with Japan, though, as I like the font graphic elements more.
Re: From The Makers Of Abzu, 'The Pathless' Flies To Switch This Winter
This looks cool. Dig me some atmospheric games. As long as they don't kill the damn bird.
Re: Playing Games Probably Won't Make You Feel Worse... Or Better, Says New Oxford Uni Study
@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed Hope you're doing well, Biscuit. Take it easy, as far as you're able.
And stay away from Dark Souls.

Re: Brand New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Mod Successfully Adds Multiplayer Splitscreen
@solarwolf07 and @Link-Hero Thank you.
Re: Brand New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Mod Successfully Adds Multiplayer Splitscreen
Where the heck does one obtain this version of the game? I assume it’s simple, but I can’t track it down.
Re: Soapbox: 20 Years Later, Super Mario Sunshine Is Still The Best 3D Mario
Very cool game, and perfectly understandable that it can be a fave. I played through Odyssey and didn't enjoy it that much, even granting it's creativity - maybe because I played the entire time in handheld. Sunshine offers a different experience.

Well, just call me Ven Ividivici.
Re: Feature: "A Story Without Antagonism Or Violence" - How Blanc Tells The Story Of Two Unlikely Friends
Life is hard enough. I’ve had my fill of downerville for a while.
You can say something significant without killing a character the players become attached to.
Re: Poll: So, How Do You Pronounce 'Live A Live'?
@aznable “Going back to Houston to get me some pants.”
Re: Poll: So, How Do You Pronounce 'Live A Live'?
Live A Evil. Similar to the Miles Davis album.
Re: How Do You Improve The Switch Pro Controller? Just Add Some 'Click'
I must be doing something wrong. I don’t use the d-pad for anything.
Re: Best Switch Games For Short Play Sessions
The one that caught my eye is Townscaper. Reminds me of the wonderful therapy of just coloring. It also made me think of Sesame Street. I may have to snag it.
I tend to play West of Loathing in rather short sessions as well.
Re: Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
@Danielvu09 I suppose I'll reply.
Re: Best Space And Sci-Fi Games On The Nintendo Switch

And, of course, 42.

Looks like he has good posture.
Re: Mini Review: ElecHead - Smart, Surprisingly Deep, And Very Satisfying
