@krisrk1 Hangovers as in "a severe headache or other after effects caused by drinking an excess of alcohol"?

I'm impressed if that's the case. It's at least not a real life issue for me.

@progx I sincerely don't care what companies said about other companies.

I genuinely googled for "games console" definition, and that was the first one I got.

I couldn't care less about what a company calls anoter company's product.

It was just interesting to find such definition and post it back here.

@progx Some people, like me, have the Switch ALWAYS on the dock. And ONLY use it on the dock.

It's console for me, then?

Also, Oxford dictionary definitions says this about a games console:

"a small electronic device for playing video games"

And the Switch is actually the only console that can actually be called "a small electronic". So, the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X are not consoles by this meaning.

@Robby2021 It can be cracked. Also, play offline always anyway, since most games usually don't work online if pirated on PC.

Piracy after buying the game once has just become a way to support developers.

I wish they also added the Zelda picross even if later.

@RupeeClock Even a NDS-GBA situation would be great. Allow past generation games to work even if they only release new games for the new generation

@Zequio I'm old. I played Super Mario World on the SNES when it was released.

I never knew about any Mario cartoon until people here made it sound and clear in the comments about the Super Mario Bros. movie commercial-like trailer where they sing something based on show's song in a yellow van.

I played all main Mario games and their remakes on NES, SNES, N64, GCN, GB, GBC, GBA, Wii, NDS, Wii U, 3DS, Switch. And never knew about the cartoons or even the japanese magazines at all.

Mario is Martinet for me.

Wasn't this announced some months ago? What's new?

@Not_Soos PlayStation Battle Royale would make a great community service if it simply never existed.

@Dollarydude 60 AUD is 39 USD. And 70 AUD is 46 USD.

@Arkay Exactly. Just like it's pointless for Nintendo to re-release games in their current console, if they don't add anything new.

It would be great for an actual gaming console and not a DVD player to be the best-sold system.

@Princess_Lilly He is the director.

Different to other directors, mostly from western studios, he has lots of input in design and programming, even if he isn't actually programming.

He isn't simply a money guy telling everyone what to do, he GETS involved in the games.

Of course every game is a collective effort. But the reason Ultimate, Smash 4 and Brawl doesn't have frame rate issues is thanks to him, and the team of programmers, and the families of the team of programmers, and the textures designers, and the families of the texture designers. And etc, of course.

But look at Game Freak games. Of course they need to get an agenda to go with anime and merchandising, but a different direction would make wonders. Their programmers and designers are not bad in their jobs, they just lack time and a better direction. And no, I don't talk about crunching, just someone actually caring about the games as passion projects, and not only money makers.

Sakurai's crunching has been of himself testing and re-thinking design/changes to gameplay/features after testing. The teams working at smash bros games hasn't been subject to this, as far as we know. He took the extra time himself to think of ways to improve what was already not bad.

I've read basically all of Iwata asks for my comments. And basically every translated interview he has been in.

@AstroTheGamosian He is a contractor. He doesn't really care if Nintendo goes with someone else.

He's just stating a Smash game without him would be so, so, so different. And he isn't delusional about it. Smash as it is since Brawl, wouldn't be the same without him.

Brawl, Smash 4, Ultimate. Every of those games has been perfect from a technical and game representing viewpoint. He actually cares about representing the characters as faithful as possible to how they look and act in their source games.

That's the thing. You could get someone else not giving two cents about that and just do the characters the way they want wihout caring at all.

He wouldn't sweat at Nintendo going with someone else, but that sure would be a Smash game with a lot of frame rate issues, loved characters turning into mush and mediocre gameplay.

@Dev9417 He tends to make games run the smoothest possible in the systems they are developed for.

I'm pretty sure with him at the lead, Forgotten Land wouldn't have had those framerate issues, even being kind of "open world" and all that.

@Princess_Lilly Did you watch the video?

He is being objective, and isn't delusional about it, presenting facts for making that statement.

There needs to be someone like him for Smash to be the way it is.

The level of polishing Smash has is not present even in other Nintendo games. It's a bad thing that he crunches himself, but that's thanks to his perfectionism, which isn't a good thing for one's health, but it has helped make Smash Bros. what it is.

@Aeralto Slightly?

I mean, the Wii for sure couldn't run anything similar to BoTW in 720p and 900p.

The Wii U could.

As an actual Mexican, living in Mexico, I'm okay with being used as a guinea pig.

Mario + Rabbids definitely got several catching tunes. I didn't know he worked on it.

Nice interview.

I loved the Mexican (I'm Mexican, and live in Mexico) representation in Mario Odyssey. Sad that some butthurt people got Mariachi Mario to be removed from the cover art of the physical release.

I'm asking seriously, sorry for my ignorance.

Why is "Donkey Kong" in the title?

@The-Chosen-one Even when games like Doom Eternal and Bioshock run very well?

Yeah.

@IceClimbersMain Most games in other consoles still need to download 10GB+ of data for "updates". Sometimes even more.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/589d6i/beware_of_return_to_arkham_update_sizes/

@Not_Soos They probably will. Link's Awakening DX game boy color version is in there.

@Clammy They remade textures basically from scratch from what's seen in the trailer.

Who cares if it's a port. It was basically done from scratch when it comes to 3D modeling and probably game engine. I'm okay with the price tag.

Metroid Prime was more obviously just some upscaled textures, and it was actually a bit cheaper.

Wow. I don't think this has been done with other directs recently, has it?

Probably something big happening. Maybe finally Metroid Prime 4 news or new console.

@Deviant-Dork Even animeish voice acting is better than English voice acting.

Let that sink in.

@Link-Hero That's what Youtube is for.

Or Vimeo.

@Deviant-Dork Watch it in Japanese or Latin American Spanish.

English VA is always bad, no matter if a game, an animated movie or actual live action movies.

I also literally can't stand Zelda's English VA for BOTW and TOTK. It's so different to the Japanese voice, it seems a completely different character.

I'm also a huge fan of the new character Luigi Kang.

I'm a bit worried about Liu Kang not returning, but oh well.

@RobynAlecksys yeah. People hating on Ilumination like if they don't remember Miyamoto interviews stating the big input he had on the Mario movie.

The script would be stopped if Miyamoto or Nintendo didn't like something. They have full control of it. They wouldn't let one of their big IPs to turn down like everyone thinks so.

@Inkless tell that to Miyamoto. He is the one who agreed with it all for the Mario movie.

@LordPieFace Nintendo had full control of the script for the Mario movie. Miyamoto was fully involved. If they didn't like something, it would be removed from script.

A half assed script would be Nintendo's fault, with any studio out there.

I got all the glyphs things (trying not to spoil) without the glider.

It was a lot of fun, actually.

Yeah, no way as hard as what the article guy did.

Like a tweet posted said. There's no clarity on what is going on in screen.

Gerudo kicked me out for that reason, and wouldn't let Link enter until he wore something.

Also, used Clan Yiga outfit while in there, and they put me in jail.

@Ralizah I think there aren't any. Those shrines were built with Wii U on mind, long before they removed dual-screen gameplay due to "giving the same experience on Switch and Wii U", which they actually showed in one of the first trailers, where the map showed in the gamepad while everything else in the TV.

In-game, BOTW shrines revolve on the Sheikah Slate, which is "used" for the motion control shrines. In TOTK, it's all about the Zonai devices and the new Link's arm, which makes no sense to have motion controlled shrines.

@GamingFan4Lyf Don't worry. The article sure reads wrong because they don't translate to say actual billions. Or even better, they should have simply put the amount in USD equivalent already.

@GamingFan4Lyf you got your math wrong.

Billions in Mexican Spanish are usually called thousands of millions. This is how they put it here. So, it was really 1.391 billion of pesos if you translate it to how USA people read currency. It seems they just translated some articles without localizing currency naming.

You need to convert then $1,391,000,000 Mexican Pesos to United States Dollars. That's roughly $77,456,958.67 United States Dollars.

Also, if I need to be even more clear. We use commas (,) for separating thousands. And dots (.) for decimals. So, the article's $1*,*391 doesn't mean decimals, but a thousand and 391 millions of pesos, which is 1 billion and 319 millions of pesos, which is what I wrote above.

@Varkster They said a whole row of seats, not the whole theatre.

What you said could be done back in 2021 when people were still shut down in their houses because of COVID. They offered to rent theatres charging per hour and let you put anything on HDMI. Playing Smash Bros. on those screens was great.

I live in Mexico. I already went with 6 other family members 4 times to watch the movie.

IV is the best in the list, I don't care what anyone else says.

"Zelda's English VA Officially Confirms Her Return In Tears Of The Kingdom"

I mean. I somehow really thought you were talking about the Japanese or Spanish VA.

Also, I hated the English Zelda voice acting in BOTW. It sounds very different to every other language. Japanese is way better, and what the Zelda character is actually meant to sound like.

@Not_Soos Every BOTW update improved more and more the drops in the Deku Tree location.

They even improved load times after the third year of the title, using an overclocking while loading introduced on a later Switch firmware version.

This looks great. Sad Nintendo didn't go this route for a modern Pokémon.

@Akurusu Actually, I do that, thanks.

Can't stand her voice in English. It sounds way deeper than it should. Even without taking Japanese into account, it sounds way deeper than every other language.

@ryu_san A shame these don't have motion controls, given Zelda TOTK Will use gyro aiming for arrows and whatnot.

Can't use a joystick for aiming anymore myself.

@john_lennon999 Japanese version sounds better.

@Wandering_Samurai In past games where Zelda appeared she always had lines of dialogue. Of course she was getting voice acting in BOTW.

Link has never had any real dialogue in any past game, other than him moving his hands "explaining" situations.
