Hasn't the ps5 just increased its price.

While I can see it being potentially delayed for that reason they predict a direct every month from about 3 months after the last one. If I said it will snow tomorrow every day I'll eventually be right. Broken clocks etc

I wish nintendo would release some kind of clip on second screen attachment for the switch to play Ds and 3DS games on. Even ds on wii u VC wasn't great

Necky the Fox watch put for Fox Die!

@BinaryMessiah Extactly. Like I was looking forward to that KOTR remake (which i think is in limbo now)because I didn't have a way to play it back in the day but heard so much about it. Bought it on switch but without the nostalgia and the memory muscle of how PC games in that genre of the time worked nd the time to invest in it really, I've not been really been able to get into it.

Remasters and remakes definitely have their place and purpose. That's not to say they don't sometimes over do them .
The Switch has 112 million units sold vs wiI u which had like 12 and gamecubes 22m.
So for many switch owners a remaster version will be their first go at Wind Waker, due to low sales of its previous consoles and paasage of time( the wii u release was almost a decade ago). You're really more likely to have bought/played it before if you're on this site than the average switch owner.

My younger relatives aren't interested in playing older games The graphics, controls and sometimes ive found they can't understand now archic game design and logic.
The remasters/remakes do make it more accessible to them in ways beyond its available to play on the platform.

It was handy for DS back in the day but its not needed with the Switch at all. I just put it in the Dock and it's not like we all have switches in our pockets like the ds. Prefer they work on other features instead.

When they aren't on sale all 3 of them bought separately are about 86 pounds. But you could shop arround physically and probably get them for same price or cheaper even. all being under 10 in multiple sales now on every platform and think mania was given away on psn plus at some point, makes it a crap deal and ulimate moniker without colours is just pants

Does anyone do the selects, platinum hits, best of etc series anymore. Aside from 3ds don't think I've seem one here in Europe since wii,ps3 and 360 days
Seems with the rise of digital store fronts Sony, MS don't bother to re release physical anymore.
On some of the heavily discounted physical games I've picked up since ps4 days. I've found them to be day one edition or limited first batch etc and it's years after launch. So I suspect big initial print runs witout them being reissued. Nintendo seem to have a steady stream of physical copies though for likes of mario kart,zelda,pokemon etc.

Nintendo has a strange relationship for sure with esports but then tere was the evo scandals and all thos competitive smash bros scandals . Why would they get involved It's not like they need to it to sell Smash or any of there games really.

Unboxed had them all boxed for ages but moved apartment twice and just took up way too much room to be any way practical. Also the big amiibo rush died down and pretty much any amiibo is available now. No more importing little Mac and trying to find a villager in new shipments. Now seems 80% of them are easily available at normal prices

Watching it and it's not good. Most of the time feels like a syfy channel generic low budget zombie show that's light on any scares big on bad dialogue and then when it references Resi stuff it's either cringey or just very out of place.

@themightyant still seems entirely unnecessary. I could easily fly through the opening chapters in a day.
Just will catch out a few last minute purchasers from buying the game and dlc.

Just doesn't interest me in the slightest dispite being big into star wars just zero excitement for this one.

Sony still killed the PSP store and i believe it will still kill ps3 and vita with its push for its new plus services.
Tbh Xbox really is the best at keeping its store going but never gets any recognition for it. I can play xbox or (most) 360 games i downloaded years ago on a series s/x no upgrade fee no subscription etc
Can I play my Ps3 games on ps4 or 5 nope subscription streaming only. (Technical issues I know but even ones I bought on ps3 that are on the streaming option, I can't stream without paying ps plus) ps plus is only now just slowly adding ps1 and ps2 games after a long absence

Very strange one this decision.

@Pally356 I think dlc is march here's the tweet-"
Sales of the game Fire Emblem Fates will end one month earlier, on 28/02/2023. DLC for Fire Emblem Fates, including story paths accessible after the completion of Chapter 6, will still be available until 27/03/2023."

Sales of fire emblem fate to end a month earlier for some reason strangely

Guessing this was planned I'm case of a massive outcry from public as a way of making the passing of the console torch easier and when it turned out n reality few people cared past a few mic on the street interviews they scrapped it. Once 16 bit came in most kids were done with 8bit.

Maybe you work on the game you are working on now and ensure its decent and people are looking forward to it rather than talking about whats next.
We got colours, origins recently and frontiers is next.
Sega should make sure Frontiers is good and release it when it's ready not rush to another game or release it buggy and unfinished because its Sonics birthday or whatever.

Ha just no, sorry we had a laugh at the poor animation and dialogue of those cut scenes, YouTube ran with it and it s an interesting story behind the non Nintendo zelda games and hotel mario game for the cdi but it's all just rubbish that should never darken the franchises door again.
Would just be a joke if she came back all people would want is to hear the same bad lines.
"It’s not affiliated with Nintendo" Well they kind of never were these games really

Love this game can't wait to play it again without connecting up older hardware. Plus portable will suit it btillantly

Decent additions there and while yeah pretty much any game on the megadrive nso I can play on sonic gems collections, ones I have on wii vc/xbox store, various megadrive collections on xbox 360, switch, steam etc or the Megadrive Mini. (It's mad how much sega re-release them but ignore their other consoles) It is very handy to have option on switch that can just boot up for 30 mins of quick play.

Thought it was very good. Lots of solid announcements. Delighted to see persona and nier.

Great news. These games have gone from mostly being on dead systems apart from 5 of course to being on whatever your preference is. Though can we get 1 and the 2 that make up 2 out to complete the collection.

I really don't get people that straight away assume that dlc is bad or its announcement means a games clearly unfinished. While there is bad dlc and dodgy practices (Fighting games locking on disc characters was a big one few years ago) most dlc ive bought is just more of the game I lenjoyed without having to wait years for a sequel but never truly essential that needed it to enjoy the base game.

I enjoyed it but was seriously taxed by all the glitches.
Game crash error, people getting stuck, invisable starts and framerate death.
If they could get rid of all these and throw in a few extra modes as it's very short ie a boss rush and like endless hoard endurance mode, maybe a vs mode

Hey I'd buy a n64 mini in a heartbeat.
If they add gamecube and GBA/GB games to NSO that would be brill. The wii with its controls etc might not translate easily at all.
Why WiiU skip GAmecube under his watch so? The wii u has the ability to be a gamecube just lacks disc.

Goldeneye 007 of course by a country mile.
Everything thing or nothing. Actually pretty great bar some dodgy driving sections
Nightfire. It's mixed
Are my top 3.
Goldeneye Rogue Agent get the award for biggest stretch to be called Goldeneye

Seeing some of the extreme comments against modding consoles for legitimate back up purposes well they obviously never had the likes of wii break through age, with years of paid for VC games lost and no actual Nintendo approved way to get them back and with shops closing down etc it's now harder to fix.
Things get old and break down, older consoles disk readers for example can become dodgy if I have another way to play my legitimately owned gamecube games on my elderly system what's wrong with that rather than having to go find a repair or second hand console for 100 currency units min.

Yikes that's all the bad things. Though Studio Ghibli were only involved with the original japan exclusive DS game and Wraith of the white witch . They weren't officially invoked in ni no kuni 2 onwards.

Id love to see some thing good for the franchise but it's Konami so i'm waiting for like an interactive slot machine, silent hill mobile gatcha game and maybe a badly handled port for switch. Probably some NFT rubbish too.

This is the modern equivalent of yeah my uncle works at Nintendo/Sega/PlayStation/ monster munch and he said insert fabrication/urban legend.

I think alot of us want some kinda switch Pro, called that or switch 2 or Ultra Switch . I'm enjoying everything about the switch still except its aging hardware

While I love my wii U. This is a further nail in its already over nailed coffin. The console itself was great. The marketing, message, name,launch titles and of course the huge software droughts and third party lack of support etc just well seemed everything that could go wrong happened (or was done wrong ).
Absolute opposite of the Wii and it made the N64 and Gamecube days game droughts look better by comparison. Only the 3ds turnabout and Nintendo deep pockets stopped it being Nintendos Dreamcastlike swansong, it really was their sega satarn where left them badly needing a hit afterwards luckily Switch is a massive success.

I understand the Advance War delay but unfortunately Russia's war of aggression isn't likely going away anytime soon.
Other war like games and films etc will no doubt be released before it at this stage.
Maybe they could release it and donate some profits to the red Cross etc to help the victims of the conflict

I liked Reggie as a fun meme generating MC for directs etc but he's a PR and marketing man, I remember he was asked a question about his biggest failure and it was that 3ds price he said, which is alot of spin interview answer. Like nothing about the Wii Us life of disaster. Also didn't he not know what a virtual boy was. I'll read his book but I'd take alot of it with a pinch of self PR salt, also we don't need his opinions on gaming every 3rd day since he left

A big list but a real yeah these are very old to the point I'm shocked at some where still going til now

It's already in backlog but good precedent in regards to older dlc. Hopefully they will continue to add others previously released as well as future dlc releases for games

All these this should be dlc comments but without really knowing the changes how can you tell.
I dot want Nintendo permanently stuck into a game that's 5 years old, like development wise that really could prevent new ideas, improvements etc
Also If dlc was announced it would be then be all about I hate dlc, too expensive, should've free, anti consuerisn, I never play this game anymore, comments
The switch has had a long land still going life cycle we are going see Series sequels on same hardware like this and BOTW2.
5 years on seems fair its not levels of say a fifa every year.(though that sells )

Zelda is not really about plot or characters or even action but the feeling of exploring and solving puzzles. Can't see a movie doing it justice at all.
I'd prefer we let video games be games.

Much better hands than sega itself so now I'm interested

I don't get those saying it's easily available here Its only easy if you already have the game or a wii u. With limited wii us in existence, eshop closure next year and the only other option being the gamecube or wii u disc second hand for an ever increasing price wiis and gamecubes don't play well with modern tvs either. So yeah Wind waker needs a re release to be accessible.

I'm not familiar with this series but aside from from T Hawk mentioned in the article there's the similiat Nightwolf from Mortal Kombat and Chief Thunder in Killer Instinct.

It would be really nice to have all zelda mainline games available on one machine. Wii U comes closest with 1,2 LTTP, OoT, MM, WW,TP, SS, BoTW along with ,Minish Cap.Spirit tracks and phantom hourglass
Orcales , links awakening , 4swords and 3ds games were only ones missing.
Switch is catching up but WW and TP are big omissions
Whys 4 swords always so left out its great.

Why wouldn't Nintendo want to support EVO or the competitive smash community...Google both oh I see yeah good call Nintendo

EVO 2020 was cancelled due to a massive scandal centred arround its CEO with many companies pulling games before the event was cancelled entirely. Sony and some other crowd bought it in 2021 while most companies returned then but nintendo didn't. The Smash Pro scenes no stranger to horrible scandals either.
So I'd imagine nintendo wants to keep it's return to the competition scene under its control.
Tbh wouldn't care myself if never was another competitive smash scene.

@Williamfuchs420 yup released ages ago along with other forms from the region.

Hard pass. Like video game movies are never great they struggle to be passable.
I don't need to see Zelda tainted and tbh it's always been a series based on gameplay over plot so it's a bad fit.

Good to see they are fixing these. Finally upgraded my NSO due to mario karts dlc and majoras mask.which pushed me into okay it's got some value now camp (I still need to play it dispite having it on wii and wii u VC just never got arround to it) got the switch n64 controller already which was just gathering dust until now
