@SteamEngenius Agreed. I feel like it is pretty tired at this point.

Loved Gato Roboto. I am excited for this!

I never considered Fei Long as comedic.... Curious.... His play style is really fun. Maybe they will port it over to another character. Fuudo found a lot of success with Fei Long.

@AndyC_MK111 1000%

@Serpenterror I am hoping they keep him as a hidden unlockable, at this point. They have to know that the fans are clamoring for him.

It's super smart of them to tap into the point at which Turtle Mania was at its peak, and would garner the most good will. After all, that is really all the fans ever wanted. Sonic is a similar lesson. I really hope this is fun. I am looking forward to it. The original was stiff and shallow, it great to hear that they took those designs to the mat, and tried to improve. Honestly, I'm looking forward to this over the collection.

Wish it looked like the promo image. The game looks fine.... but the "box art" is rad. The fx work is top notch.

I find it curious that so many castigate BOTW as not even Zelda? For me it is the most OG Zelda to date. It fits the closest to the original two which I played a ton as a kid. I've played the series since its inception and it is the first one in a long time to capture the magic of "what is over next hill." It is what the series desperately needed after getting stale and becoming more of a linear Metroid. From a game design perspective, it is a masterclass on so many levels, one self explanatory mechanic on top of another and they all blend together seamlessly. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of flavors, but some have said it is a game for people who have never played Zelda. I couldn't disagree more.

I'm sorry but this looks pretty run of the mill in terms of shoot em' ups. I have a hard time believing it is an 8/10. It kind of waters down your review curve....

This looks incredible!!! Hopefully it is fun. I generally like more combat centric games but this looks gorgeous and promising.

Does it explain what they do with the money? Not sure how to make a game out of 90K let alone 14K. Is it an army of one?

@GamingDude800 this is the fundamental problem that Nintendo refuses to accept. People who have already purchased their games 100 times over already have better emulation paths to play their games. To catch up with the times Nintendo needs a Gamepass or PS Now model that have a wealth of modern offerings in a justifiably pricier subscription model. They need to push for more exclusives, and partner with Indies. The current path still ignores that 3rd party emulation is still a more viable and robust solution.

I am honestly more excited for this than the Cowabunga Collection. As far as beat em ups go, Turtles In Time didn't age that well and is relatively button mashy. This looks like a serious upgrade. Tribute Games have made some awesome games....fingers crossed.

This peach is actually awesome! Definitely not as iconic.That bottom/modern illustration is friggin' sweet!

Revive Little Samson and all indiscretions are forgiven.

Been around since the beginning, and I have to say Switch. It has every game I could ever want, and they are all portable (minus Wind Waker and Street Fighter 4).

Outside of Nintendo, the Wii DS Era was pretty magical for me for all the consoles at that time. Everything now is technical amazing but saturated and fleeting.

Panzer Paladin and Flinthook were great! I am more excited for this that the Cowabunga Collection by a longshot.

I just played Zelda 1 this last weekend and enjoyed it a ton. I wouldn't recommend it to today's gamers, it's a little obtuse. It carries immense nostalgic value for me and BOTW feels like the closest game to it, which is why I love BOTW. ALTTP is a softer pill to swallow in retrospect for starters but Link between Worlds might even be better.

Metroid Zero mission has rendered the original obsolete in every way.

@Cia So, she is more of an exterminator?

Still, I just want a Metroid where she is an actual bounty hunter, and not some lady that keeps getting lost or stranded in space, whilst killing off the local fauna.....

Honestly the initial screenshot looked bad, but after watching the trailer.... maaaybe, I will watch out for this.

Not into smash fighters but this is really impressive. That animation is slick!!

The half commitment to toon render with the nearest neighbor de-res is putting me off. It would have looked ten times better if they just went with two/three fall off steps for the lighting instead of a linear fall off. It would have looked like a straightup 3D pixel game. It is soooo close. What is weird is that they using dithered shading in some spots and full blown lighting in others.

@Brady1138 Well spoken. A very real comparison.

Hope springeth eternal with Sonic fans. Not sure how Sonic still draws a crowd.

@Purgatorium I know what I'm about to say is pretty subjective but, anecdotally, I was watching Pete's Dragon (not the remake) the other night with my family and it was just fun. It was a clever story. It didn't feel like a deep interpersonal conflict or specific social commentary. Movies or stories like Aladdin or Big Hero Six, where there are many themes, but for the most part are open to interpretation, don't seem to be coming from Disney as much any more. Disney/Pixar films as of late seem a lot more focused. I think that is fine for some folks. Personally I miss the older, story for story sake. I'm not saying what I like is missing from movies now, it just seems Disney specifically has stepped away from that a little.

Hmmm... I want to like it... but am not sure how I feel. It has potential.

The movie was mehh for me. Some friends totally loved it,, which is totally fine. I just miss the days where the story for a movie was a great/clever plot and not some kind of social commentary/allegory.

I loved this game. This is a welcomed announcement indeed! I was actually wondering this week if they were ever going to finished this. This is rad!!!

I wonder if there is a way to keep the aesthetic but up the charm.... This just feels a little soulless. I want to like it.

Could be the lighting and lack of ambient life...? hmmm...

The promotional art nails the "inviting charm" much better than the ingame art.

This looks rad!

Mentions old school Castlevania: Rapt attention

Watches trailer: Hype gone

I'm confused how anyone thought it was like Odyssey. I got a very strong 3D World vibe from "go". That said, a true open world Mario game like BOTW would be slick.

Loved The Messenger. This team is brilliant and very talented... too bad I hate JRPGs.

Mixed feelings on the art but it looks like a ton of fun!

@AdventureIslandDude It truly is. I would love to see it ported to the Switch or even better, see this team do some more games other than their homebrew ones.

Date for Blazing Strike... that's all I wanted.

@Rich_Uncle_Skeleton Theoretically, that is what the team behind SOR4 is working on next. I anticipate that will be the true next beat em up of note.

I'll wait for the review. As some have pointed out it has a very SNK (stiff/unppealing) animation style and art. Maybe it will play like a dream....

@ArxMaverick the originals had sweet art, but I don't know, those portraits are pretty sweet from a technical wizardry standpoint. It is really hard to tell if it is 2d ala Shantae or full 3d like Guilty Gear. I wish the game didn't mix toy rendering with cel shading and just picked one or the other.

@NotoriousWhiz I thought that too at first blush, but it actually has a pretty deep combo system. The unlockables and ability to change the game into basically a shmup is pretty awesome too. It's not for everyone but as far as Beat Em Ups go, Castle Crashers is definitely top 20.

It's astounding that any one of Kirby's abilities could be an entirely fleshed out game on it's own.... Nevermind the polish that Nintendo buffs on their mechanics.... Truly remarkable.

I will say though, it is getting harder and harder on paper to distinguish Mario from Kirby.

@NotoriousWhiz and this looks terrible from go.

Or.... I can just play Castle Crashers which looks and plays awesome. They should have gone 80's gritty over the top Frazetta style.

The illustrations are awesome. In game.... not so much.

Blazing Strike= "Third Strike" has a baby with "Last Blade" = all awesome

One awesome fighter and a bunch of forgettable dating sims/VNs.

Street Fighter will always be my main jam. I have tried Smash so many times, but for reason eloquently described above about it being analogue, I have never liked Smash's feel. The physics and feel have always bounced me.

Sooo.... Kiki's Delivery Service, The Littles (80's TV show), Crash/Sonic platformer..... and.... "What if Captain Toad, Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley had a baby?"

Brilliant!! They are some of the best Devs in the industry. I bet this will be amazing.
