@ModdedInkling but is it an annual franchise? The expression carries a negative connotation, at least for me. You are right, of course, given that Nintendo is willing to sacrifice several teams to work on Zelda games. Might be an unpopular opinion, but I prefer to wait several years for a new Zelda, there's no shortage of other games.
@Mattock1987 you can't compare Zelda to COD or FIFA exactly because they take their sweet time to finish each game. One Zelda per year would surely have a negative effect on the quality of the games. (Again, ports are a different matter, but there are not that many past games left to choose from)
Do we need a Zelda each year? I love Zelda, but we usually make fun of yearly games (COD, FIFA, AC). (I know a port would not technically count as a brand new entry, and a WW port is actually on the top of my wishlist, I'm just trying to say that we do not need a new Zelda each year. IMHO that is the magic of Nintendo IPs, the long wait that means we are getting a finished quality article.)
It's nice to see these articles that are not just Nintendo news, but also a way to get to know the people behind the articles. Btw, my 3DS stats on this "memories" website are off by about 400 hours.
Oh man, I have a huge playlist of my favourite video game music, and like half of the videos are his. Too bad, because everytime I listen to Nintendo's music I get the urge to play their games. But I guess it is their right to do that. I just wish that they uploaded the music themselves then.
@SwitchVogel I just realized that you are Mitch and not some random user who switched 'mitch' for 'switch' in their username. Thanks for the answers and all the work you guys put into this site, my go-to source for Nintendo news. Keep up the good work!
@SwitchVogel thanks for the input! I definitely want to try it someday, but after Shadows of Valentia, Three Houses is not high on my wishlist. But it looks more appealing than the 3ds games, what with all the university/social stuff, so I might give it a chance
@SwitchVogel I was disappointed by the low number of units in all fights (I was expecting something like Advance Wars, not 5-10 units max). And I found the story and writing really dumb.
From the series, I only played Shadows of Valentia on the 3DS and did not really like it, played it for 8 hours and abandoned it. Do you guys think I should give Three Houses a chance?
Final Fantasy X-2 Remastered for me. Probably a level or two in Mario Maker 2, and I may also throw in some online MK8dx as I imagine lots and lots of people will be playing it these days.
A beautiful figurine, I love Okami (i played it on PS2). Incidentally, I finished playing Okamiden a couple of days ago and found it quite underwhelming.
