Re: Poll: What's The Worst Legend Of Zelda Game?

SMJ

I genuinely voted for Breath of The Wild. It's the only game here that I failed to get into and didn't complete. I just found myself not caring really quickly and playing something else instead.

I appreciate that this is a sacrilegious thing to say on a Nintendo site but I stand by it. I don't think it's bad at all, just my least favourite.

Re: 'Aero GPX' Is One Man's Vision Of 'F-Zero' Reborn, And It Could Come To Switch

Nintendo does waste a lot of their franchises. Just because not every single one of their IP will sell as well as a Mario or Zelda does not mean that they should sit dormant for decades.

They've also been pretty successful in reviving interest in not so popular franchises recently. Fire Emblem? Metroid? The combination of a good game, high install base and proper marketing have done the trick for those two series.

Re: The Switch Is Here To Stay, Says Nintendo Boss Shuntaro Furukawa

SMJ

Nintendo just needs to stick with the Switch branding and release new consoles that are backwards compatible. 2, 3, 4 etc. They have found their niche in the market and it's a sustainable one. Hybrid + motion controls is not something either PlayStation or Xbox will be aiming for at any point in the future.

Re: Community: What Was Your First Ever Nintendo Game?

SMJ

My first games were;

NES - Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt
Gameboy - Tetris
SNES - Super Mario World
N64 - Super Mario 64
Gameboy Colour - Pokémon Yellow
GameCube - Burnout
Gameboy Advance - Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Wii - Twilight Princess (excluding Wii Sports)
DS - New Super Mario Bros
Wii U - Zombi U
3DS - Super Mario 3D Land
Switch - Breath of The Wild

Only through making this list have I realised just how much of first party game fanboy I actually am. 😂

@Hellburner918 Theft??? You'd better call the police then! Before you know it he'll be murdering children in the streets!

Grow up. Someone bought some things and then sold them for a profit. This is perfectly legal and absolutely fine.

Owning a new console is not essential. Owning a new console during the launch window is not your god given right.

Stop acting as if your life has been made worse because you can't buy a new console. It hasn't.

And if you genuinely feel that it has, you need to look into getting a better life and stop crying over delayed luxury purchases.

Re: Best Sonic Games Of All Time

SMJ

The fact that so many people disagree between Sonic 2, 3 and CD being best really shows what a roll Sega were on in those days. I genuinely believe that the Sega Saturn would have been far more successful if they'd made a fully fledged, 2D Sonic 4 on the system.

Sonic Mania still blows me away though. Such a wonderful reimagining of the series.
