@RudeAnimat0r I'm glad we have both options too and think we always should. But for every SoR4 or Hollow Knight with lovely handrawn graphics, there seems to be dozens of other games with retro pixel art. It seems like the ratio of handrawn to pixel art is very small with most developers opting to go the retro pixel style.
I just don't understand why developers are choosing to go mainly in favour of this style. Retro is cool and all but I think its being overdone at this point.

I know I'm in the minority here but why are developers still using pixel art. I get that nostalgia is strong when it comes to retro style games but handrawn graphics like those used in SoR4 for example look so much better. Pixelated games were a result of hardware limitations which are non-existent these days. I'm just over it. Had my fill of pixelated games back in the day.

They could have easily put all the games from both collections into one.
I'd personally be more interested in a new game in the series.

I bought the Aniversary Collection which means I should expect it sometime around around January 2023.

Black Tiger, Magic Sword, King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, Xain'd Sleena, Legendary Wings, Trojan and Demons Crest.

Hyrule Warriors DE. I like Age of Calamity but thought the first Hyrule Warriors was far better.

Wow, The Legend of Zelda: Mysplaced looks great! When is it coming out?

SEGA have said this befofe. What were the last couple of games they were talking about, Crazy Taxi and Jet Grind Radio?
I just want more Golden Axe and Altered Beast.
I reckon Golden Axe would be perfect for a Tecmo Koei Warriors game.

@clianvXAi oops! I deleted comment instead of editing. Yeah the game looks amazing, it's my most wanted Switch game this year.

As a collector and enthusiast I avoid budget covers like the plague. I've always been a fan of box art, so for me it's an abomination when they mess with the original work.

@StephenYap3 It's nice to see someone else who actually appreciates Star Allies. It's definitely in my top 3 Kirby games.

I can't believe Star Allies is so low on this list. Such an underrated game in my opinion.

Definitely a must buy. Played the hell out of theses games, especially Luntatea's Veil.
That snowboard stage!

I'm in no rush for Switch 2. The Switch is absolutely killing it this generation and I'm having a blast. I'm not ready to move on from the best Nintendo system ever made.

Not at any point since I started playing this game have I though the graphics are bad. On the contrary, I've been admiring the graphics and the great art direction. I mean the game is supposed to be cartoony, it's not trying to look like God of War.
Just hearing about all the negitive talk about the graphics has made me realise how lucky I am that I'm at the point in my life where I just dont care that much about graphics.

@Troll_Decimator @Arawn93 I know right, it's a game set in a cartoony world, are people expecting it to look like the Witcher? Lol.

I don't understand all the talk about Pokemon Legends having bad graphics. It's a beautiful looking game in my opinion.

Seems like Zelda, Pokemon, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are the big four in Japan.

I would absolutely love a new Klonoa game. I have very fond memories of playing Klonoa 2 on PS2 over and over again. Must of played through that game a dozen times.

I still think Nintendo should make an effort to have at least one game to show for Nintendo fans ( and when I say Nintendo fans I mean you can still be a fan of other companies and a Nintendo fan ). I mean how hard can it be to make a video of one game.
It doesn't even need to be a new one. I'm sure people would have been happy to have another look at BotW2. Or are Nintendo afraid people will loose interest in the game if they get a second look. I doubt it.

I think Nintendo needs to make an effort to have more of a presence at the Game Awards. It's great that they have their Directs but I think it would be good if they have at least one World Premier for all Nintendo fans who tune in and watch the show.

I would have been interested in this concept if it was from a company like SEGA or Capcom who were fairly prolific with their arcade games in the 90's.

I wouldn't mind a good third person action RPG set in a dark fantasy world as long as it's not another Souls clone.

The game looks brilliant and you can see that its from the Wonderboy devs. I remember reading about this game back in the 90's when gaming mags were still a thing and then hearing about it's revival a few years ago. Pretty crazy when you think about it but it's also what makes this game kind of special.
I'm waiting for my physical copy to arrive but I'm oh so tempted to download a digital copy to play now.

Well done Nintendolife. That was brilliant and hilarious. I needed good laugh.

Very tempted by Mushihimasama. I'll probably end up getting it.

I'd be more interested in a sequel to calculator then this.

I'd definitely buy it if they made it available. I reckon it would look pretty awesome in my gaming room.

If the delay to restart the game hadn't happened then Prime 4 could have released around the same time as Dread, and Nintendo couldn't have two Metroid games release in the same period could they. Makes you wonder.

Where's Black Tiger, Magic Sword, King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, Willow, Red Earth, Dungeons and Dragons etc?

I'm perfectly happy with the length of Metroid Dread. And the the length of it means there's a good chance that I'll be able to replay it. And that's the thing I really regret about modern games, some of them are just too long to go back and revisit. I'd love to be able to revisit some of the jrpgs I've played through but they're just too long for that. Honestly, one of my biggest gripes with a lot of rpgs is that they do seem to be padded out just for length sake.

Well I just finished Metroid dread with 100% of items which took about fourteen and a half hours so now I'm wondering what to play next. I still need to finish Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and Demons Souls so I might tackle those this weekend.
I'm also in the mood to revisit Animal Crossing after watching the direct too, so maybe a bit of that as well.

Wow that's... expensive. Very disappointing.

Personally I like the graphics. I'm an old school gamer from the early eightys and grew up with pixalated graphics but honestly I prefer the look of 2D games with HD graphics. Games like this, Monster Boy, Hollow Kinght, Dragons Trap, SoR 4 etc, look better to me then pixal art remakes like Alex Kidd for example. It's just my opinion though. And while they are not without their charm, I had my fill of pixalated graphics a long time ago.

I would totally buy this. Absolutely loved the Klonoa games, especially Klonoa 2.

Damn, thought I was up to date on all the Wurmple news, how did I miss this!

Looks like my kind of game.

Only $0.75 each. Take note Epic Games.

@Grumblevolcano ah yes, that is true (damn memory), but thank god they are back. I still reckon we will get one more general direct before the year is out though. At least that's what I'm hoping for, and there were plenty of games not covered at E3 and I wouldn't be surprised to see something unannounced show up if there is one, but if not there's still plenty to look forward to.

@Ghost_of_Hasashi It actually wouldn't surprise me if any of those games you mentioned showed up, knowing how unpredictable Nintendo can be. I'd love to see new DK and Golden Sun games. What I'd really like to know however is what Retro Studios were doing before Metroid Prime 4.

@TheFrenchiestFry I hope they have a Zelda Collection on the way.
Metroid Dread's another big one. I still feel they have more up their sleeve that they were holding back at E3.

It makes you wonder though if Nintendo has another big game due for release at the end of the year that they haven't shown yet. I mean they had a direct last year and unveiled Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity which nobody saw coming. I bet there's another AAA title on the way for their big holiday game.

New Nintendo Switch Shoe Bowser CONFIRMED!

Personally I liked to be surprised by proper reveals and not by leaks.
What's really annoyed me the last couple of years has been the relentless Switch Pro rumours. What a complete and absolute waste of time, clogging up news feeds and YouTube channels. I'm sick and tired of hearing about it.

@brunojenso They would be further along then that. I'm sure the title screen would be done too.

Great to see more of Square-enix's HD-2D style being used in their games.
This is looking beautiful, count me in.

@wuntyme8 @Magician yep it reminds me of 3D Dot Game Heroes too, the best Legend of Zelda game no one ever played lol.

I'm really hoping to see Panzer Dragoon Zwie more then anything.

@Spoony_Tech yeah I agree. I don't play fortnite but it's such a popular game that it would be really good exposure for Samus and the Metroid series, which it definitely needs.

The game looks pretty bloody amazing to be honest.
