hyrule field was basicly the only reason for me to buy a N64. I remember i visited a friend and he want to show me Ocarina of time, the game started and link was running arround on hyrule field in the middle of a thunderstorm, i can't rememeber any magical momebt between this and playing breath of the wild for the first time.
still my favorite zelda game remains breath of the wild, can't imagine any game will be better then this. i realy felt i was in nature, the next zelda game can only feel more dissapointing, it has to be.
do you guys think, the switch will ever become more succesful then the ps2?
it is possible with a great momentum i guess. Q2 pikmin 4
q3 zelda q2 2024 metroid prime 4- mario odyssey 2 perhaps?
trowing some remasters inbetween such as Windwaker, metal gear solid.
i also do not underestimate the effect of final fantasy pixel perfect in japan, ff6 is one of the most beloved ff game, and never had a decent upgrade.
i believe anything is possible. and as long there is expectation for momentum, nintendo should NOT annouce a new console.
we are now at what? 120 million units sold, ps5 150 million.
not a specific brand lover, but i wish them the best of luck to achieve this historical moment in gaming history.
tbf, i prefer the switch version. the game looks most close to the original (i like the original fog effects) and the xbox version looks like it is run trough a basic emulator with only resolution as priority.
@OrtadragoonX Nintendo is by any means the most profitable console/game company ever. Sony and MS can only wish to have 1/3 of nintendo's profit comming from this division.
If nintendo wants, it could release a nextgen so advanced, and even make way more money. But they just don't want to interfer, and doing their own thing. Guess they have knowledge about the industry crash in the eighties, and don't want to destroy it.
For me, Ratchet&Clank:Rift apart is the big winner.
Never liked the series, but what these guys did with it is amazing.
Ps5 is amazing too, what a console, and to think i am bitching about consoles not realy being next gen for almost a decade, this one definetly is same for xbox series x(but only graphics)
Ratchet and clank rift apart
Adaptive gameplay A+++
Sound A+++
Graphics and eye for detail A+++
Last time i played a platformer and had so much fun was mario odyssey.
Thats is basicly a new mario kart with DLC.
So why do we need a mario kart 9? Deluxe is IMO the best mario kart ever made, why build a new one wich does not look any better then this DLC.
Better wait for new hardware tbf, i think nintendo has the same oppinion.
And this does not make me less excited, i am a very happy fan
I don't care about mario kart 9, just trow in 8/9 new courses in deluxe, that would be awesome.
Imo mario kart 9 should be released on new 4k 60/120fps nintendo hardware as selling point at launch , same for metroid 4.
Dolby vision/atmos raytracing the whole pakkage.
This whole burnin issue with OLED is fake. It excist, because youtubers leave PC desktops running for 100+ hours, after that find it important to make click baits and spread panic.
Almost any screen technology have burnins of get defected doing this even CRT.
If you are afraid of oled technology just don't use it in combination with pc desktops. I never withnessed any burnins with oled screen, and i use them intensive.
Well to be honest.
I realy want a ps5 (because of ff7 remake and upcomming god of war)
But these sony dicks can't deliver.
The price they pay for teaming up with lame chip manufacturers (with lame employees)
Nintendo just work harder and put manufacturers more under presure, i mean the stocked shelves globaly within 2 months after the big shortage because of animal crossing.
People complain too much these days. We got GTA triology on switch people!!! This a historic moment, and i definetly gonna buy this game, screw you with your lame comment about poor version.
People like smart devices Cloud gaming is growing 4k gaming is starting to become a demand In 5 years everybody want to play 8k games. People have less time to play games.
Why not make a pact with google, and make a 8k hybrid gamesytem, wich is also capable of playing physical games.
Just make the switch capable of pushing 8k cloudgaming,and do something with the dock like a google home device, even better like nvidia shield.
The hybrid system is in any case here to stay. Why? Because it attracts cknsole and pc users also mainstream users who have kids. I think there was never a concept like this in the past where they have reached such interest.
So make it even more aproachable, attract people that like smart devices.
@Grumblevolcano Wich is stupid, sega is still busy dying.
The company lack creativity in their development team for almost 20 years, and the company is stuborn to make drastic changes. Just too many old thinkers and old employees walking trough the hallways of the company.
There is always something lacking in their products (allthough street of rage was a great step) and sonic is just a too small caracter too make sega big again. They need a new talented team, young and fresh programmers that get along nice and share ideas without some old ***** in a suit keep ideas restricted
At this moment, It is a poor investment if you ask me.
50,- only is just insane.
They have to let people try out the subscription if it is worth it.
Judging from the release pace of snes and nes games, it is not worth your money.
It looks like nintendo first needs a pile of cash to buy these licenses, and this makes it sketchy, because as user we don't know if they can deliver along the way, between negociations and the one year subscription.
I think it is better that in the first year, they need to convince users by letting them try out a monthly subscription for like monthly 6,- and € 50,-
Still nintendo gets a big pile of money every month, because i think only 8% will use this subscription, and out of 8% maybe 3% takes a year subription that is still around 2,7 million x 50,- a year(135 million a year)
On top of that 3% from that last 5% will continue their monthly subscription wich makes 72x 2,7 million a year (189 million)
And this is at is lowest expectations, and ofcourse there are expenses.
Anyhow, nintendo needs to promote this new subscription on tv, adds etc, and it is worth it because any percent higher means alot of money .
Still confused why you have to pay for an extra subscribtion, to get 25/30 year old games!?
If it where a huge collection of games i would understand (like on xbox) But we are talking about a handfull of games, and you have to wait like 3 years to have a decent collection.
@Snatcher You never played it? Damn, i am so jealous at people that have not played it, i just miss that first feeling i had with this game, but still the game is awesome, my 9 year old son also live this game and finished it the first time with my help, then 3 times on his own, he told me it is his best game ever played.
It was an good game, but i was dissapointed about its ambiance way too fast, less mysterious, the music(wich is an essential feature) not fitting a metroid game
Also not the feeling being totaly isolated, and i hate spacestation based metroid games instead of a unknown planet, with unknown structures.
I think dread will be the best after super metroid
But still hope there will be more natural envirement added tot the game like in super metroud instead of levels in a spaceships. There are way too many of meyroud games in this setting.
This machine made me hooked with gaming, and is from my age when i was 16.
Was it not for my older brother, who earned to much money, i did not get it at that time.
It was like €1200,- at that time. He also got one and delivered the games for me.
I definetly want this to have, it is one of the best(if not best) home computers ever made. I realy loved the sound and 16bit colors. It could not compare to a megadrive, but the games had a unique sound, and rare gameplay.
It also looks decorative in my home.
And i am curious. How many amgia games it can play because i see some a1200 and a4000 games in the trailer.
It would be great, if the keyboard actualy works, if not there will be bluetooth on it for an additional keyboard.
Although nothing more then a upgrade on resolution and some shaders, the legend of zelda:windwaker was for me the most apealing title. Like it was always supposed to be played in this state rather then 240p, Imo there have to be a upgraded port in any upfollowing nintendo switch console.
Can't wait to see a switch version of it with ray tracing, more visual effect with weather.
Btw not a 2d game by origin, but
Basicly no game comes near the total remake of links awakening. A game i would never have played if it was not for this remake. Fantastic game.
@charlieonholiday
Once i will find time to play this game, it bothers me that it is highly praised by so many gamers, but i just can't get into it because i simy do not have much time for myself.
You remind me of myself, convincing people to play the mass effect series and try to get past the first 2 hours on the citadel to get i to it but know i understand you actualy need enough time for yourself to do so.
Never had the patient nor the the time to play this game more the 5 hours, and this irritating me because it seem one of the best game ever made. This is a game you cannot lay down and co tinue after two or three weeks. It has complex game controll and mechanics, wich at my age is difficult to puckup easy.
So i focused on the netflix series to see what its all about, and i can understand why people realy love the world of the witcher. It was with no doubt the best series i watched last year on netflix.
I realy like the pace and build between episodes always ending after two episodes in some epic battle in a awesome setting.
Looking forward for season 2, even though i probably will never finish the game, due to work and family responsibilities.
@Wavey84 Amoled has too many benefits over any other screen format.
It has better responce time, better colors, sharpness, and no you don't get burnins. If you like games to look better in the go, i would advise to but it.
So basicly a revision update like the 2019 battery update version, and the switch lite.
If you use the switch primarly for on the go, i would say, yes buy it. Because amoled (same as Oled) has better contrast (check samsung phones) then lcd-led tech and definetly better colors and black levels.
But for people who ay mainly on tv, it is a huge dissapointment, en definetly for those who where expecting a total new nintendo switch.
I'll stick to my 2017 version. If it works don't update i always say.

Re: Nintendo's Investor Q&A Promises Switch Isn't Dead After Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Re: Should I Buy A Switch OLED? Which Nintendo Switch Is Best For Me?
