Yeah, Japanese version is way better. I hope the Localization Team doesn’t take so many liberties with the game as has been done with the Trailer. For example, the Japanese says “The Tokyo we’ve been living in is... a lie!” Suggesting the world of supernatural entities is the true reality. Whereas the English says something about an alternative universe, which represents a big difference to me. The EN version turned me off, but the JP version has me intrigued again.
Fun article! I hope we continue to play as Link. But it would be cool for Zelda to be more involved. BotW really made me emotionally attached to her character (great voice acting!)
@BreathingMiit they do when they basically operate a monopoly. Plus, they’re not allowed to editorialize or have a political spin under Section 230 or they lose their protection from lawsuits over content. It’s free speech or lawsuits. So hopefully the lawsuits are coming.
@korosanbo I completely agree. Something about it is just so irksome. From the name, to animation, to writing, to characters, etc (environments look really good tho!) Oh well, not for us, wish it well.
@Muh-ario To each their own, but I was so hyped for Byleth, and as my main, the character has revitalized my love for the game — super fun character! I play everyday.
Ugh, I was hoping they would Nerf Pyra/Mythra. It’s true that players have adapted, so it’s not the slaughterhouse it was day 1. But these broken characters still carry a lot of players. I would like just a little more lag on Pyra’s insanely powerful moves.
I am Setsuna was really good. Switch version had some additional content too, I think. Anyways, enjoyed it thoroughly. Great battle system, kinda reminded me of Paper Mario 64 in an abstract way.
@VoidofLight I kind of agree. My kids like it, so that’s nice. But there’s not a lot you can do in the game... I wish some of the cool items you can get were more interactive. Everything is just a... decoration.
How do you get this stuff? I still only have the Raccoons in their original tent. But I’ve expanded my house. When does this game finally start to open up? None of the seasonal events seem to come to my island.
I’m not interested in the aesthetic of the game. I’d prefer a little less dystopia in my world these days. I’d love to see more science fiction we can aspire to...
“Lockdown” is perfect. We truly are prisoners of our governments. Aren’t we free to assess risks and make decisions for our own safety and those around us?
@Damo Thank you, Damo. The article is justified seeing as how Yamauchi is such a big part of the DNA to Nintendo. But I feel it lacked context to say "this isn't really about Nintendo, but loosely connected". I'd like to explain my confusion. I saw the image, and read the title, and actually felt alarm, like "is there some hostile corporate shenanigans against Nintendo?" then I read the article, and was left confused. Probably because two of the major players of the article (Yamauchi's family trust, and Japan Systems) are total unknown entities to me and don't directly affect Nintendo (in the way I care about). Still, I love this site, read it daily. Thank you for your articles.
Wow, really? Her voice acting in BotW was a highlight for me. Easily my favorite Zelda ever, I just love her voice. I feel her lines are not as good in AoC, but she brings them to life very well! She’s the best actor in those games. It’s the guy who does King Hyrule who disappoints me. But, even he’s pretty good.
China (the CCP) owns the media. Not to mention run work camps with tens of thousands of people in slavery. Meanwhile they are destroying Hong Kong’s liberties just as they’ve destroyed all their neighbors, and the West is next. The CCP is the greatest enemy to the Chinese people, not some dumb joke.
@RandomAfricanGamer A mask can be an act of tyranny if it is mandatory. Every day we step outside our homes we accept risks. A free society allows us to make those choices. Maybe it’s just a mask now, but next it will be mandatory vaccinations, a health passport, and a “Trust Stamp” (look it up). Thanks for your comment, though. You’re also free to wear a mask 👍🏾
@nessisonett there’s no link in my comment. The only actual link is the one between vaccines and autism. Do some research, and not just from pro-vax info. “Trust the science” is the least scientific thing you can do. Science is “question everything” and identify connections, even if someone is paid to say there is none.
It’s tragic to me that kids today are forced to wear masks all day or only interact through screens and plastic cages, while being fed dystopian escapism like this... the psyche of many children in 2020 just can’t be good... 😔
I hope there’s sections where you can run around and explore the environments a little. I know that’s not what Musou games are known for, but that was my favorite part of BoTW.
I hope they don’t buff Ness, JigglyPuff, Metaknight or Kirby. Maybe they’re just a bad matchup for my main, but I feel like I always get cheesed. I think Kirby needs more follow-up lag on his up-special, etc.
I understand why some people complain about the collection not being a full remake or having more in it, etc. But... It is exactly what it says it is. Too bad it’s not what you wanted, I guess. But I’m just thrilled to be playing Mario 64 again! I didn’t want them to change anything, personally.

Re: Metroid 5 Is Coming To Switch As Metroid Dread, And It's 2D
I’m surprised how much Metroid Dread has stuck with me... I keep thinking about it, and I’ve never really played a Metroid (besides Prime series).
The Developer interview is what really sparked my imagination... this looks like a very special game.

Re: Random: Hey, There's Also A Smash Mod That Keeps Fire Emblem Content And Removes Everything Else
I wish I could do that in Quick Play online. I hate running into Kirby’s and Mii Gunners.
Re: Random: Someone's Made A Smash Ultimate Mod That Removes Everything Fire Emblem-Related
I would like them to remove Pyra/Mythra... or at least put some end lag on their moves...

Re: Octopath Traveler Has Now Sold 2.5 Million Copies Worldwide
Loved this game. The formula got a little stale in parts, but still loved it. I’m really excited for Triangle Strategy now!
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 1.8.0 Is Now Available - Super Mario Items And More
@ares9090 Thanks for going into it for me. I guess I’ll just have to do more business with the Raccoons from the sound of it.

Whut? I read it, but I don’t understand how this related to Nintendo (except for the Yamauchi connection). What does Japan Systems do?
Re: Nintendo Reveals Its First Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament For 2021

He’s always been a supporter of Nintendo, probably for all the same reasons we are.

Very gracious, but he also tore me apart!
Needless to say, I didn’t get the job. 😂

I didn’t want them to change anything, personally.
So anyways, there’s people like me out there too.
