Zelda Oracle games remade

Sega VR headset?

Excellent. About time they had this stuff in. But they still forget about Chargin Chuck and the Caped Koopas... why?

I've played it for a few hours so far, and yeah, the frame rate takes a hit in places for sure. Its still really good though of course.

@Blizzia Yes, casual mode is there.

@Ryan_Again For the most part I agree with you. Nintendo couldn't even let us remake the first level in Super Mario World for crying out loud! It sucks. It truly, truly does. I don't give a toss about being able to transition to another game style on the fly. I would prefer all the options per game style, and stick with it till its done. FFS Nintendo...

@tameshiyaku Sadly not. Just another pathetic omission. This game is barely better than the Wii U version so far.

@Jimsbo And that is the fundamental problem with the way they've constructed the game. If every game style was separate, we could have all enemies, objects, AND extras thrown in. Making a quick transition between styles is not worth sacrificing so much. If you can just set out with a style in mind, and stick to it until the level is complete, all would be well. I mean, they have SMM sketchbooks to go with the game, thus suggesting you take your time and think through your design choices. But in game, hey, suddenly prefer another style? Just make a quick transition, and voila, there it is. We could have done without the quick transitioning for superior choices/gameplay experiences.

Why couldn't they have included ALL the enemies, etc? Where are Chargin' Chucks? What about the Caped Koopas? There is so much missing just from Super Mario World... Its really frustrating. Come on Nintendo, get it right.

@Trajan Why don't you buy a replacement battery and install it yourself? There are guides online and on youtube, etc.

The new Switch models are of course unhackable at the moment. It is being worked on though.

I love having a hacked Switch. Some good free games coming up soon.

Is there anyone here who wants to play multiplayer with me online with the XBLA version?

@Wanjia
How about My Time At Portia? It is one of the best games I've played in quite a while in the genre, despite the bugs that they have just recently ironed out.

Mortal Kombat 11 for me...

Dragon Quest Builders is better than Minecraft.

Extra Epic Yawn?

That's really hot.

Looks really good.

Just emulate them for crying out loud.

HAHAHAHA! Nintendo keeps taking advantage of fanboy suckers who will buy any recycled game from the past. You would think that they could make a brand new Luigi's Mansion game, right? Or something else like it, but noooooo. The Switch has nothing to recommend it to someone who has or had a Wii U. SMO not withstanding. The only title I was hoping to see in the Direct, a new Animal Crossing for the Switch, has not been forthcoming. Maybe E3 then.

Will they give the next Smash Bros a good subtitle? Perhaps the next should be called Super Smash Bros: Scuffle. Or Super Smash Bros: Ruckus, etc... They have quite a few options left don't they.

Meh... I'll just stick to using a PC to emulate the entire catalog of NES games. Maybe I'll also buy an adapter to plug in an old NES controller too. F you Nintendo, and your corporate greed. Come on, how many times do they have to resell old games at such high prices? Its ridiculous. I would actually have bought one if it had the entire catalog on the darn thing, but no.

We'll always have the original SNES game around, so why not give it a go? It would be very interesting to see what Nintendo could do in this regard.

Twas a good game, despite its difficulty and quirks. It felt great to finally unlock the Excalibur. So much difference compared to the previous cars unlocked, let alone against the first ones...

@SnakeBlock
I don't care about swapping themes halfway through, and it is just a fun little concept to begin with. Nintendo have the ability in their studios to make what I talked about. If indie developers can make Super Mario Bros X, then Nintendo could have made something similar, but much better, and in a shorter time period than them. Of course.

@shani
No, I'm not wrong. Being able to choose your game set first, you should then have the option of all or most assets from that particular set available to create with. No swapping game set midway through though, without resetting design template (game set). It is simple.

@BulbasaurusRex
Sure, you couldn't mix on the fly, but that wouldn't be so bad considering the ability to utilize so much more.

As I've said before: Nintendo could and should have just let us choose a game set: SMB, SMB3, SMW, NSMB, then as each is selected, the tilesets change to suit the game, with most or all of the available assets of each game set.
Simple. And it would have been good.

As others have said routinely: Slopes, Nintendo, slopes. And angled pipes.
And maybe, just maybe, redo the whole thing to make sure you can just select which Mario game you want to use, and be able to select ALL assets from that particular game to use in your own creations. So, keep the sidebar palettes, but change up the item selection screen to suit the game selection.

But I know this would be too much of a dream to actually have Nintendo do it...

Slopes are possible to implement. Have a tile with a half filled box with degree of slope, then line those up with other slope tiles. Underneath those would be the full land tile. Seems easy to me.

Get rid of the motion blur and fix camera issues. Other than that, Nintendo should be making a Zelda game that looks similar to this in quality.

@Varathius

Yep. I've uploaded a grand total of one, but that one is just using the early assets, and is a pure SMB level. No overcrowding of enemies or items. Still, it has only a 16.6 % complete rate. It really isn't that difficult or long... Oh well.

This is great news. I'm sure they have learned from the mistakes of the past. Nintendo won't allow another disaster movie.

Is it strange that this is the only game that makes me want to buy a Wii U?

Ah, the power of nostalgia. A Zelda Maker would be excellent.

I'd like to see the cartoon aesthetic and mechanics turned into game form. So that the pokemon don't just stand there exchanging blows turn based style.

Its about money. The end.

@Shirma_Akayaku Swords are used to kill. You can kill with it.

It would work well as an Arcade game

A whole week earlier? Whoopdy flamin' doo.

@Beta Yes you can.

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the New XL. I hope a review is done that addresses the supposed yellow tint problem.

@Aerolol Too white?

Is this how you pronounce the name?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exCYSfQod14

I'll probably be upgrading from my old imported Ambassador US 3DS (but keeping the Ambassador as well).
But darn it, I'd like the XL in white so I can have the Aussie Super Nintendo coloured buttons. Looks pretty good.

Slow to begin with, definitely.

Link just keeps getting girlier and girlier.

It's fine. He can say what he wants.

@Pod Thanks for the clarification.

How effeminate do they have to make Link look? I mean, come on, what's with the fan he's holding? Isn't that something females use?
