Like so many others, Niantic seems to believe that if we all ignore CoViD, it will just go away, like Queen Mab in the Merlin series.

Evidently, Demise doesn't speak Dutch.

@contractcooker Including the comments complaining about the predictability of the comments!

trying to think of something witty to say but I'm really out of phrases over here, sorry

I really don't want what has happened to TV shows and movies to happen to video games because they move onto streaming services. It's not great already that sometimes games are released on only one console so you have to buy a specific console to get a certain game, but at least it's understandable; Nintendo are no doubt terrified that if they were to release their first-party games on their competitors' more performant consoles, consumers would just buy them, and destroy Nintendo's console offering. But if streaming services should take over for games, then everyone would be forced to pay for a subscription for a whole bunch of games they didn't care about just to access the ones they do. Consumers already don't have a lot of power in the video games industry; I don't want to lose what little I have.

I was about to complain about the wanton destruction of otherwise potentially upcycle-able or recyclable technology, but it seems that I am such a typical Nintendo Life reader that everyone has got there already. Good job folks.

@westman98 Indeed. My original comment came out much more sarcastic than I intended. I just wanted to express my frustration that the article and many commenters were (as I saw it) excusing the enormous executive pay on the basis that it wasn't as much as others'

That's still far more money than anyone reasonably has any use for. But the fact that this sum is lower than the compensation for the executives of competing companies means that I can still pretend that, as a Nintendo fan, I am morally superior, so I'm sold.

I have a feeling the Steam Deck won't last long. The games which Steam is good for aren't designed with a system that small in mind, and I suspect its performance won't be up to scratch either. If you want to play games which do work well on small screens, I'm willing to bet you'll get a better experience on Switch, which will offer the same games but a more polished console (and for a cheaper price).

Addendum: Wow, this comment section very quickly became a minor brawl. Don't worry, everyone: whichever console does better in the long term, they aren't really competing on a level, so I don't think the success of either will disadvantage the other.

@CrazyOtto Linking to TV Tropes? You heartless fiend, someone will waste their whole weekend on that site now, thanks to you...

@JugOfVoodoo This is really interesting to hear about for me because my first introduction to any sort of unified chronology for the Zelda games was Hyrule Historia. No doubt in a few more games, they will have messed up their own chronology sufficiently that it needs to be rewritten all over again. I think that this will always be the case because Nintendo always seem to design the game first and give it a plot (which may or may not follow from previous plots) afterwards. This creates excellent games, but as a side-effect, it also writes inconsistent chronologies.

Are they duplicating the item duplication glitches? Heh heh heh! hehe... he.

"They're titled, 'Untitled Goose Game', ..."

How ironic!

I had no idea that "blast processing" ever meant anything other than the audio thing — or at least, something to do with audio. That "knowledge" is based on covers of songs with Sega Genesis soundfont that people post on YouTube. Which doesn't make sense in the context of this article. So it looks like I had the right idea, by accident?

@Hissscratch139 you mean lego harry potter right? i played them on the wii, a lot of fun : )

was going to buy this for 3ds but okay never mind

Am I the only one who's freaking because he said "The Link to the Past" instead of "A Link to the Past"

@Dogorilla sorry, that was meant to be a joke. my bad

it's a blatant rip-off of Splatoon

8/10! And to think that this was once a browser game!

it may sound like a contradiction, but
the "suddenly all women like you" trope is seriously overused despite being niche

Obligatory stable/horses based joke

Wow, looks not half bad
(i.e. it's amazing for those of you who aren't accustomed to British subtleties of language)

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Ye, they could just make one big article...

@enti-social Uhh why?

What happened to the formatting? It went all small.

Incidentally has there been gameplay footage with Link cutting grass yet at all?

@Simbabbad doesn't the word "wholesome" itself imply... unwholesomeness? I mean, I suppose it is your decision how crude you want to go...

@Simbabbad I'm not saying it's illogical, just that it's not very... wholesome? I guess is the word

@Barnacle Nah, it's just that they're blatantly using sex appeal to sell games.

I mean, did anyone actually doubt that Beedle would be in this game? This game is mashing all the elements of previous games together.

@Mellor2000 Congrats, you win "Calllack's post of the day".

For the record, I'm pretty sure that they offered to give the winning characters exclusive costumes, rather than an appearence. Which makes sense since Lyn's already playable.

@Janus1986 Staking huge amounts of money on (pretty much) whether or not the general public thinks a game is "cool", wouldn't you be nervous too?

Damn

Those titles are the real deal though. Nothing beats being a "Polite Knight" xD

@PAppleyard Just want to say, your avatar is pretty funny

@PlywoodStick The only way to protect yourself is to use an 8-bit Mario amiibo from the Anniversary.

I've never tried a Fire Emblem game before, but looks interesting

@gatorboi352 Make Nintendo great again!?!

That Nintendo Switch sound
click
It's more memorable than the games

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It looks like Zelda is really upset about something

@G-Boy There's censorship?

I heard this game wasn't very good, so I haven't downloaded it

In the description for Bowser they wrote "butt" in inverted commas like it makes it more suitable for kids

I... what? This... why?

@immensechicken damn

@Vulpern put to bed. I see what you did there

@Mineral hahaha

@PotatoTheGreat I would've expected a final episode to be actually plot details from sun/moon, like the climax, but who can say? Not me. Probably the animators.
