I think Nintendo is going to put their best stuff on the Pro. They realized that the Switch was already outdated when it was launched and this was before the other companies released their consoles.
Nintendo is in a huge pinch and only are surviving because the other 2 companies have their heads in their butts and not doing much outside of FPS games and remakes at that. I think many are burnt out at the next generic FPS game whether they admit it or not.
@PBandSmelly Pretty much what I was trying to say. This is what I mean by Nintendo fans being a cult. If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck.......
@blindsquarel It's kinda obvious and Nintendo DOES have a built in emulator for Mario 3D All Stars. Dolphin with 4K textures can do a better job for free!
@Crono1973 And Skyward Sword teaches you that you can bang your head into trees to make money instead of going to schol and Link daydreams so much he doesn't realize his own bird is missing till he almost dies.
@FatHedgehog Our standards have gone way down but not just for Nintendo...............welcome to cancel culture. Which is a fancy way of 1937 'Nazism' wrong think and your out.
Isn't it ironic a fan guy is able to get more done then Nintendo themselves which is all just rumor/click bait disguised as news crap. Nothing but fakeeeeeeeee news. (Nothing but blueeeee skies)
@gaga64 Because most of the time it meant he delayed it for minor cosmetic issues making a big royal deal. NO NO NO!!!! He would say over the tiniest speck on a random NPC's face you'll forget a day later. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc6a1Nzf4M4 My favorite is the 'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh No!". This is how I feel Nintendo thinks about announcing any new Zelda titles before release.
I hope they don't just sneak out the games without telling anybody.
@daisygurl Good. Don't give the CCP your info! If you have Norton your screwed as well as Norton sold out years ago and are part of the Chinese military (separate of the CCP) and have full legal authority to look into anyone's computers that could be a 'rebel'. Any business has to have 3 military members and 3 CCP people on the board of directors team of each business.
Any business that chases the China dream are going right into the lions snare and can't come out of it without the government owning it all and the businesses owners losing out if they are allowed to still live.
You can vote your way into communism but you'll have to shoot your way out.
@Donkey-Kong-Fan Here. Have this scuba diving gear while you hold your breath as you'll need it since you are wild for those directs! No pun intended. https://youtu.be/P7TGeBE_0cQ?t=1360
I always thought he was Iwata. When did they change his name? Hope it's not another Mandela Effect going on here. 😕
Anyways he was the one pushing the boundaries of the Switch as in Japan everything has to be done thru group think if the group doesn't agree it doesn't go thru. There are many examples of this in sports,technology,etc. It works to a certain degree but also has a lot of negative side effects.
Looks like the graphics used in New Donk City. Too bad the US gets the shaft but to Nintendo we don't exist like people in Portland Oregon think nothing exists between them and Sacramento.
I think BOTW 2 has been shelved due to technical and mental limitations and are afraid to admit it to not upset fans over the rails.
They will probably say something like that and go 'BUT we have these for you instead!' when the Anniversary hits to do that 'poker face' they tend to do.
@NEStalgia Points well made! It's frustrating there is a witch hunt against smart people as people who make valid points get ignored while those who post stupid remarks get all the attention.
Either they are actually that dumb or are a chat bot.
We have more then enough sick crap going on in the world. Why do we need it when escaping reality? Let's escape a sick dark reality and create another with even worse problems!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@JWF I'm playing Link's Awakening before I sell it which I got thru trading old stuff and paid very little for. It's like a dumb BOTW and to further the case I have Stigmatism issues with my eyes and I don't see tiny objects from the perspective they want though it's mostly an issue in dungeons not the overworld. Also unlike OOT if you don't have a crucial item you have to look it up to find out where and what the hell it is! One case I had to have a toadstool and had it this whole time not knowing what it was for and only found out after looking up how to light torches.
@Lugazz Actually the online press did a good job trying to make it seem like the sequel using a lot of tricky double speak but if you are into PSYOP stuff it's pretty easy to spot.
@ss213 I think it has to do with when you bought your Switch. I have my Switch from when BOTW first came out and it has no FPS drops nor blurryness on mine. I've heard a lot of bad things about 1st gen Switch machines.
@Hylian_Greaves Weird. I defeated the Guardian my first time and most of the fight only had one hart left then the last 3/4ths of it I only had a quarter heart and hid behind the rock between laser blasts. I did win though at the skin of my teeth but only because I didn't understand some things earlier but the rest of the game I completely blew thru with no more then losing a heart if I sat their being dumb long enough.
A lot of times a few enemies would sit their with me being dumb!!! Could that be my difficulty setting at easy or does that just give them more health to chink at?
@Jokerwolf How about a new DK64 done correctly? I didn't mind DK64 but would've loved it if they did what Banjo Tooie did and let worlds interconnect for shortcuts and some were relied on for jiggies such as the gas pipeline of Grunty's Industries between Hailfire Peaks and Jolly Rodgers Bay which winds up polluting the kiddie pool. You have to do a bunch of things there.
@Dizavid How about launch that missile towards Hyrule and blow up the castle? Or perhaps skip the castle and go straight for the Master Sword at Frame Drop Forest I mean Korok Forest?
@Little_Squee Hmmm what could part II be about? Oh Bowser kidnaps Peach again because they fail to install security systems for the castle to actually slow him down! 🤣🤣🤣
Note security systems won't stop Bowser from kidnapping Peach the purpose is to slow him down enough for guards and or Mario to properly prepare himself instead of just charging in blindly.
The headline made it sound like Nintendo was going to do cross platform with Steam! (Windows) So disappointed! Imagine Age of Calamity on Steam with improved fixes and mod support thru the workshop!
@Buizel Your right about that one. You need to have some sense of the original team to have it work as a 'spiritual successor' or otherwise it's just a new game. Nothing wrong with that but let's not lie about it now!
The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis are a great example!
If you ever played or touch the Zoombini's Logical Journey or "Math Adventures" which was it's first title in the 1.0 version, the one with the red cover of the pizza troll, you'll see what I mean when you look at the game play between the 1st one and 2nd one called 'Mountain Rescue Adventure' which is almost NOTHING like the original and we are cheated a few puzzles.
The third and final one REALLY deviates from the formula for better or worse where none of the puzzles rely on the looks of the Zoombinis for the first time relying on internal mechanisms.
@impurekind Your the one confused. That is a logical fallacy when one has no more points to make "You don't know what XXX means". if you can't have anything to say don't say anything at all!
Basically your trying to shut down the conversation just like the overused "You don't know what socialism means' as the staple to "I don't like what you have to say which your points make me feel 'TRIGGERED!' WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
@ilh I think this game is going to wind up being returned again and again and again as people figure it out. I hope this game turns out but so far like Steam mixed reviews are usually NOT a good sign. It's a lot like when weather models disagree on a pattern in the 7 to 14 day range then as you come closer the actual pattern is somewhere in the middle of the two arguments.
@Magitek_Knight I mentioned Lord Of The Rings Conquest before on here. Is that what your refeering to or are you talking about Third Age for Gamecube? I hope it's not like T3A God that was an awful experience I am glad I forgot!
@Purgatorium I used to do demos all the time. They often came with other stuff. They were called "Shareware" back then. Often games you bought would have 1 or 2 demos with it. You could choose to install the demos. Nintendo is late to the game but better late then never! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQOzspuCu-E&t (Thomas the Tank Engine VHS 1991 Better Late Then Never Restored) Narrator: Ringo Starr!!!!
@TexanSansei I wonder if players will exploit a lot of glitches here? Dad had an idea of taking the divine beast to the edge of the world and seeing if they could fall off or go beyond the boundaries. I wonder if players will try to do exploits? Or perhaps take on to Lurline Village by the coast and stomp all over it and smash all sorts of things to pieces! Nice thought at least!
@Jokerwolf Did you ever play demos in the 90s? If so what was your first one? Did you enjoy the shareware days where things came in with other stuff often? When you bought sound cards or video cards you'd also get a FULL game with it designed to max it out! One game we got that way was Star Trek Voyage Elite Force absolutely free with it! No it wasn't a demo it was the full version from start to end!
@DoomGuyBFG Didn't look like much planning to me. The bad guys kept taking hit after hit just standing there! I think they were high on bananas? Though I wonder how they will do different objectives. Lord of the Rings Conquest also had different objectives.. It was a failed attempt at an open world combat game that fell short mostly due to being too 'arcade' like at the controls and it was too fast pace of a game for what it was trying to represent.
Here is a detailed review of Conquest which touches interesting points both good and bad. This video is only 10 mins so gets to the points pretty quick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWKyLuij0kc&t=321s When Pandemic Took Us To Middle-earth (LOTR Conquest Retro Review)
I really like the concept of playing as the 'evil' side but you can do that anyways on Battle For Middle Earth. A funny thing is you can play against your own team! Mordor vs Mordor! You have to be sure to give them different team colors as they are hard to tell apart on the map if you do that.

@MajorTom And I wonder how many of those 100 million units were either returned or left in the attic unused?
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Tops "Best Seller" Chart On Amazon
When they find out how linear the game is they'll wish they didn't buy it. Sale's charts don't tell you return charts.
Re: Video: Here's Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Looking Stunning In 4K, 60FPS

Re: Soapbox: When Is The Next 'Big' Nintendo Direct? Oh, Does It Really Matter Anymore?
