PALversusNTSC

I wish ubisoft remakes the splintercell edition.
Those xbox origin triology, not these crappy xbox 360 versions.

Those games where awesome.

"Prince of persia sands of time", is one of the finest platform game ever made. Played it several times on the gamecube, xbox, both fantastic.

Not giving away any spoilers, but man, that ending was simply amazing and emotional.
I realy loved that mix of sound and silence while climbing those mysterious arabic envirements.

This game is still in my favorite top 10 of all time.

The other versions where OK, but what do you expect when the series kicked of with such a high quality title like sands of time.

If you have not played it, at least give sands of time a go, you won't regret.

I dont buy 7's for €59,-

Great game:) finaly a new worthy golfgame after almost 6 years.

Now lets hope for alot of great dlc courses

Nintendo's most underrated game, but for me certainly in the top 5 best nintendo franchise.

I know how you feel when you hold the cover in a gamestore and doubt, i once had the same. But im very glad i bought it to gave it a change.
Its a realy funny game with a good laugh, but beside this it has great mechanics and its briliant.

Don't be fooled by its presentation.

@Muddy_4_Ever

Well the wii-u hold one of the best games from nintendo, the console was heavy underrated imo.

I had a ps4 and xbox one, and picked up a used wii-u for a bargain, let me tell you i did not touched my ps4 and xbox for one year.

It was a big surprise for me, because i did not have anything with nintendo from 2004.
So yeah bring on those wii-u titles from this heavy underestimated console

Mario kart 100%

Would not surprice me at all, the switch is already 3.5 years old, and it does not have a MK version of its own, i think they worked hard on it the last 4 years.

Also i think we are gonna get bombed with mario games the last 4 months of this year.

Nintendo was never near bankrubt, not even once poor. The can survive any storm eve 3x wii-u in a row. They earn more money then microsofts xbox an sony's playstation together.
With one simple trick. Make cheap hardware sell expensive and make great games with almost no price drop.

And this time they earn even more becausecthey are finaly accept any game for their system, and their team made some historical games.

To get absolute world domination in terms of users, they should release a very powerfull console and a great online system one year after the ps5vand xsx

Oceanhorn 2.......

Wow

So.
in the future you cant play this game anymore from your collection, if the servers shutdown?
Or collect it from other regions from ebay.

Nice job square-enix.

Where is sonic generations?
Imo the best sonic ever made.

@TheFullAndy

I never noticed any framedrop in link's awakening.

There could be multiple reasons for lagging.

*Your system is overheated during summer, your system cant release its heat.

*digital copy of the game on a cheap sd card with low read/write speeds, or fake sd cards with false specs.

*wifi connected during gameplay.

*there something wrong with your system CPU/GPU (worse case)

check if your game is ok by pressing start on the icon.

Guess their still in early stage of development, probably in stage one where sketches and storyline is done, and has to be rolled out to the team.

Well this stage is very important to get the team together with a meeting and devide the tasks,
To get in one line with eachother.

Never played it, but i also never felt like i wanted it to play.
I'll bet its a great game, but i just don't like the setting of that game, plain simple, it has a boring level design, compared with other zelda games, like its rushed.
I cant remember (from streams) that there was one moment i was impressed, thats something i have never had with nintendo games even when i did not own their console and over-watched from an other console.
Because when nintendo launch a game you have to see it, even if you are a ps5 or xbox gamer at that moment.

Its same i felt about twilight princess, with that dark pc style graphics.
Well thats my personal opinion.

35 years gaming here.
What i've learned and concluded about nintendo, is that they are the think-tank of the industry.
The true leaders who shape the way we are gaming. Not the most powerfull hardware, just the most powerfull ideas.

Humble, silent, without a bad word about the competitors, they come out of their batcave and all of a sudden strike back with a brilliant idea, wich ofcourse will be copied later on, and silently and still not complaining, they start to think about new ideas.

Nintendo are like f.....g ninja's

@boxyguy

Its not linear, ass. You even have multiple endings, and places to go back to.
Did you even play the game?

Thousand year door was bloody lineair.
Imo and i have played ttyd, its not as fun as origami king, where you walked from A to B, story finished and thats that.

Its a fantastic game, dont listen to those dinosaurs with youth sentiment people especialy those idiots that did not played or just played a few hours and judge it by its battle system, just buy this game!!!!
It has everything you want in a adventure, its so magical, authentic nintendo but yet so fresh.

This game is full of tiny little wonders, and i never expected to be this good the since the first hour i played it with my son, who even felt emotional about one particular caracter passed away.
Great job to hit that emotion to a child.

A 9 out of 10. A little magic wonder.

Even though think it will hit wii numbers.
The console starts to lose its freshness.
Alot of indie titles, no real big releases beside metroid 4, wich i think will not come to this gen, and a handfull of remakes.
And then all of of a sudden tge ps5 and new xbox are around the corner.

Now these 2 consoles are scarce at the beginning, so are good games, but i expect next year around this periode, it start to roll.

So next year nintendo should make plans for a new generation console, for a good momentum. And release it by the end of the year.
The console and its concept is then almost 5 years old, thats a long time for this hardware, and it will be suported long after 2021 i dont worry about that. Its like the nes was suported after the snes arrived, this platform i here to stay for at least 7 years in japan.
Mainly because it also funtions as a very good handheld.

I say switch will sell prox 125 million units

I also think, nintendo should drop the switch concept, and think of something new. The same trick never have worked for them.
Or make something in between, like the dock as a dedicated standalone 4k 60fps console.
Fill in as you like for the hybrid.

They cannot ignore the 4k era anyhow, this will kill their new product., they cant come up with 1080p 30fps gaming, you get the wii-u effect. Nobody want to pay a expensive nintendo console while there is such a huge graphical difference between others for maybe 150,- more.
And i think cheap and inovating does not work nowadays, like it did with wii.
Lets face it, 4K is hot.

@diablo2

Yeah. Wii looked crap too.

Sold over 100+ million units.

We all seem aware about the fact that switch games look worse then pc, ps4 and xbox one versions, but only those guys seem to be bothered by it.

Still it has had more magical achievements then many dissapointment on those platforms, a platform where nobody is satisfied with any release.

@Varkster
The nintendo switch version is not a ported version, thats why switch versions can't have the same releasedate.

And this is why i like the switch, it has its own unique version of games. I dont care for the wait.

The thousand year door is a rpg, origami king a adventure game.

I've played most of the paper mario games, and i dont understand why origami king get bashed.
Most paper mario game dont have as much diversity in level design as TOK.

We have piramids, cablecarts, rides on a wild river, a huge desert whitn beatiful temples, a sea map with secret islands like the windwaker, a themepark with games, a nice story, a car wich you can drive trough the dessert, a dessert full of secrets, beatifull towns wich you can revisit.

Damn man, imo thousand year door is just sentiment for most, yes maybe it had a better story, but it was a game way more boring during gameplay because you run out of secrets once found.

I think most people bash this game after returning it to the shop, because of the battle system, and actualy never played this game long enough.

Im actualy find origami king a very good game, only thing what could be a complain, is that you can't use any caracter abilities.
Bob-omb for example.

For the rest the game is very good, and has alot of jawdropping levels, and the game is very diverse with animations, and settings.
Its funny, it feels like a big world, the story is great.

Im now at prox 30 hours or so. Favorite level samurai park theater

I give it a nine out of ten.

@Octane

Well thats why nintendo put all their force into metroid prime 4, even guys from bungie.
They messed it up with the last wii version other M, and they knew that.
There is something special coming up real soon.

I still think it is a big miss, this game never gets a VR version. Before the nintendo switch was developed i was the first to mention this on miiverse.
Just imagine this game in VR with that setting, fight with ripley etc, also those dark and atmospheric envirements, damn. And what about the reaction of consumers who use the VR demopods in store.

If a vr version will skip this nintendo switch version to put ahead on to the switch 2, i would not be mad.

Because there are less installments of metroid than animal crossing within a short period.

Wait and see what happens when metroid prime 4 comes out, there are alot of new users on the nintendo switch, not like those housewifes and grandparents who gamed on the wii.
Alot of pc and former xbox users have a switch. I think metroid 4 will he a huge hit, if there will also be a multiplayer.

Super uncle and familyman.
Look at her smile:-) beautifull made.

Great article guys.

For me this is a good year. We finaly get a decent golfgame on every console for the first time in 6 years.

I was so dissapointed with mcilroy and ea dropping all pga licenses.

@electrolite77
There is not realy coexistence, nintendo also needs an audiance. Fact is the true loyal nintendo fanbase, is not that big. The switch is just a popular console wich had great games from the start, but loyalty and consumers dont exist anymore.

One simple rule, dont ***** it up in the early stages of the launch. Nintendo kept delivering quality games like an absession, and this is what paid off

@Jokerwolf

I dont believe that, nothing is certain in the gameindustry, its all about momentum and the games.

The problem is that if nintendo waits too long with tgeir nex gen console, people are fed up with the switch and start moving over to ps5(probably ps5)

It happend with the wii.

No problem the first year.
The nextgen consoles are expensive, there is a console shortage and good games and deals are scarce. And nintendo has alot of new and quality games.

Worries start in 2022

@JohnnyC

I agree on this

I agree the fact nintendo charges money for old wii-u or gamcube games, but the whole snes library (prox 3,4 gb with all region versions) should be for like €0,99 a piece, so you can make your own collection, unlike that lame online system with games you dont want.

Pikmin 3 switch is no ordinary emulated game you goons.

There is actualy alot of work to do, to recode the original version, plus they added new content, and better graphics.
The switch has no wii-u hardware, so you should know your stuff before complaining.

What gives complainers the right to value it for a bargain!? Get a job please, and let the rest of us be very happy that we can enjoy pikmin on our most beloved system:)

Now windwaker please, with dynamic lightning etc.

@johnvboy
I have my switch hooked on a 65 inch lg cx with a philips sync box, so every lamp turns to a color mapped on screen.
I tell you, when my wife and kid play this game, animal crossing is pure magic with all its colors, in a dark room.
I have like 6 lights in proximity of my screen.

This game looks nice, and my wife and son are playing this game everyday, and realy enjoying it.
The reason why i dont play it, is because the camera functionalities are realy bad.
Why not 360 movement what hell.

What i do like about it, is like nintendo posted on the daily news online, take notice of all the attention to detail.
Every item look beatifull, i like the weather effects, and the fireworks lightning effects on the beach. Every item is put attention on it, the caracters fur looks realy cool. Also the museum is great, but should have had alot of info about the species in the museum itself.

Still on wii-u because people are cheap, and wait for that non profit bargain. Well good for you.
You should have bought the game at a fair price, now the game is only an obstacle for the new entry.

If you still want the game, i would search as fast as you can for a secondhand or new fysical copy, before you pay twice like pikmin 2 on gamecube.

Its just a tip.

Beautiful game, although the battle system as creative as it may seem, ruins the game for me.
Constantly pressing R+L and not working fluid with a time limit got me pissed off.

Updates that don't do anything except security.

Personaly i think breath of the wild, is one of the most memorable game ever made.
Imo the glider and the fact you can solve any problem with the abilities you have, and things you found, is what made it such a strong game.

Although it could have been better, if they added hard to find huge secret temples and did something extra with the rumble function.

I think the next zelda game could be the best game ever made.

Must be 2015 or 2016.
Even reggie had to defend himself in the media, never seen this before in the 35 years i follow nintendo.

You have to look at a year both handheld and console are suffering from low sales.

But nintendo never financial suffer, they make highly profitable products, wich protect themself against any scenario, unlike other brands who have to wait till the 2th even 3th fysical year to make a profit.

Why is 2020 in here?
Just of the shortage? What about animal crossing, and almost every store has to be stocked before christmas.

Look like fun games, roque company has my intention.
But guys dont you think the switch now start to need a very big game soon like zelda or metroid.
I have the feeling the apealing of the switch starts to decline, well its my personal feeling how how i look at the switch at this moment.

Of course there is enough to enjoy, but i mean to get more people to the switch something special has to happen within next 4 months before those nextgen consoles will be launched.

I look forward to pga in the meantime, its been awhile since there has been a worthy golf game:)

Why can't people enjoy games anymore, this game looks beautifull. But there is always a, But...

Enjoy games
Just do it.

7gb!? I was expecting more like 22gb or so.
7 gb is average.

Looks more like a 1 on 1 port according to its filesize.

Nonetheless this game is still a must have.

"Master chief, you take out all these bosses, after the group of terrorists clear the area. Guys don't worry if you find any trouble, you have backup from cranky, diddy, candy, and donkey kong, forget the surf ape. be sure to bring bananas with you, use them to distract enemy as they seem eatible to them.

Meanwhile i drink coffee in my spaceship, but if have the time(don't expect) , i will do the rolling and puzzling stuff that does not make any sense.

Succes!!

P.s happy 2023 if you make it

This ***** should be forbidden in all countries, why parents let their children drink this overdose caffein stuff, wich smells like cow mineur when you open it.

Unbelievable CEO decission of sega.

@Incoherent1
Me too.
Have not bought any products of ea since andromeda. Im.not fond of the company, but releasing mass effect triology will get alot of peoples support.

Pga and mass effect triology, im not asking more.

No not only mass effect 2 EA, please.

i always say, the older you get, the more conection you get to childhood behaviour, they just want to have fun.

Not realy my favorite console, but its concept was realy unique and i understand why so many people love the wii.

Strangly, i realy loved the wii-u though, so maybe i pick one up this year so i can play some wii games i missed. I almost play any zelda and mario game on every console, and it still bothers me i had to miss galaxy and skyward.

Is this a other game?

I think its a little bit too small and cropped, but i understand as japan has the most expensive ground a m2 in the world.

It is a start, every themepark has to begin small.

hold 20 seconds the power button down
then 20 seconds the + button.

just press the power button.

voilla

We need a good icehockey game
