Breath of the Wild is a great game, but it doesn't feel like a Zelda game to me, and for that reason I'm actually a bit disappointed by it. I'm hoping Nintendo doesn't abandon the traditional 3D Zelda formula entirely, and the next game stays closer to its roots.
This looks like my type of game. I've always wanted to get into Disgaea, but I never really bothered despite being able to find the first game used for dirt cheap.
My question is, is it recommended I play the other games before this one? Will I have trouble understanding any story the game has?
This is good news for me. As much as I like to support Nintendo, I'll definitely pick up a used copy considering they are going for around $35. (According to the picture anyway.) I've been wanting to get Star Fox Zero—the game looks great—but the $50 price tag just doesn't seem worth it for me. I hear the game length is pretty short, even when unlocking all the paths.
"Therefore, the community (along with pdwinnall) are drawing up the general conclusion of Rowlet actually changing its dual typing from Grass/Flying to Grass/Ground - a first for a Starter Pokémon to do this"
I usually prefer to play as females in video games (not sure why really), but I'm not down with choosing your gender in a Zelda game. Link is a male and should always remain a male. It's just a very drastic change is all.
@mateq I feel the same way. The whole thing is just really awkward and cringey. Even watching the video, I felt like I needed to go into a corner and hide to be 100% sure no one would see me watching it.
I love both Splatoon and the squid sisters but this was just painful.
I like the timeline stuff in Zelda, but this doesn't disappoint me at all. There is no way this would be able to fit into the timeline without it being plain stupid.
Didn't like the idea of Pacman until I saw the video. Pacman looks like a fun character to play as; and very similar to Game & Watch. That's not a bad thing either.

Re: Bomberman Is Coming To Arcades As Bombergirl
I'd like this on the Switch instead. In all seriousness, I hope we get a port.

Re: Poll: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Share Your Thoughts on the Latest Footage
@CharlieSmile Your avatar is very fitting.
Re: Random: Japan's Getting a Kindle Paperwhite With as Much Storage as a Premium Wii U
32GB seems to be a pretty normal size for things. Why is this a neat thing exactly?
Re: Forget The NES Classic Edition Mini, Here's The Analogue Nt Mini
The NES I own is still working fine, and even if it wasn't, that price tag is outrageous.
Re: Gallery: Get to Know the Cast of River City: Tokyo Rumble
Is it just me, or does Shinji look a bit like Kuwabara from Yu Yu Haskusho?
Re: Hands On: Whipping Hair Back and Forth in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Extremely disappointed that it isn't just one big world to explore, and rather level based. That was my biggest complaint about Pirate's Curse.
Re: Review: Dan McFox: Head Hunter (3DS eShop)
Is that seriously Comic Sans?
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Manga Is Coming to the West
I was waiting for an English release to be announced.
Very happy about this.
Re: Random: Store Shelves Appear To Be Filling With Pre-Owned Copies Of Star Fox Zero

Re: The Legend of Zelda Will Have Its Own Range of Trading Cards
This is too tempting. I may have to get that value box.

@Uberchu Says it in the article.

Re: Video: Potential Pokémon Sun & Moon Starter Evolution Types Revealed
Really wanted Rowlet to stay Grass/Flying. I'm hoping this isn't true.
Re: Review: Mario Party DS (Wii U eShop / DS)
I've got fond memories playing this game with my brothers using Download Play. We always had a great time.
Won't be getting because the lack of multiplayer.
Re: These Splatoon Playing Cards Are A Deal You Cannot Afford To Miss
I'm considering getting set 3. Kind of expensive... $10 for a deck of cards, but that artwork on them is just too awesome.
Re: Wayforward Issues an Update on Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Hyped about that physical copy. I don't mind digital, but I always prefer a hard copy.
Re: Callie and Marie Join a New Splatoon amiibo Range on 8th July
Not exactly psyched about the Callie and Marie amiibo in-game functions, but I'll buy them anyway for collector's purposes.
Re: Rumour: More Claims Made For New Legend of Zelda on Wii U and NX, Gender Choice For Playable Character
I usually prefer to play as females in video games (not sure why really), but I'm not down with choosing your gender in a Zelda game. Link is a male and should always remain a male. It's just a very drastic change is all.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Wants Us to Download More and Move On From Discs - Will It Work?
Maybe I'd download if Nintendo gave me a bigger hard drive to actually download on.
Re: Atlus Survey Lists Etrian Odyssey V as a 3DS Release
I only recently got into the EO series through EOIV. This will be a day 1 purchase for me.
Re: You Can Now Register for a Nintendo Account
Registered with no issues.
Re: Video: Take a Look at More Twilight Princess HD Gameplay And Features
My favorite Zelda game, not to mention one of my favorite games of all time.
I preordered this the day Gamestop started taking preorders.
Re: Shantae: Risky's Revenge Director's Cut is Nearing Release on Wii U
I only recently bought Risky's Revenge Director's Cut on Steam, so I'll be skipping out on this.
Re: Weirdness: Watch an Actual Live Splatoon Squid Sisters Concert From Japan
@mateq I feel the same way. The whole thing is just really awkward and cringey. Even watching the video, I felt like I needed to go into a corner and hide to be 100% sure no one would see me watching it.
I love both Splatoon and the squid sisters but this was just painful.
Re: The North American eShop Winter Warm-Up Sale Concludes With 15 More Discounts
I've been wanting to get Shantae and the Pirate's Curse on the Wii U in particular. May have to consider getting it on the 3DS shop though.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Talks About Fire Emblem Characters in Smash Bros.
Not a fan of all the Fire Emblem characters in Sm4sh.
No more anime swordsmen, please.
Re: Feature: Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Game of the Year Awards 2015
Let's go, Splatoon!
Re: Minecraft on Wii U Won't Feature Inventory Management on the GamePad Screen
I was going to get the game, but then I heard this. Clearly Mojang just made this a sloppy port for a quick buck.
Whatever, there are plenty of other games for me to spend my money on. It's no big deal.
Re: Minecraft Finally Digs Its Way Onto the Wii U eShop on 17th December
Not the biggest Minecraft fan, but I'll possibly get this.
Re: Get Sloshed With Splatoon's Sloshing Machine This Weekend
@cfgk24 I'd much rather have an NX Splatoon over a 3DS one.
This weapon looks pretty cool. I'm definitely giving this a try. I'm curious what sub and special this will have as well.
Re: Red Fly Studio is Trying to Resurrect the Cancelled Nintendo Exclusive Darth Maul Game
@allav866 Agreed. Darth Maul didn't really do anything the entire movie until the end, and even then he wasn't that great.
Re: Online Battles Coming to Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden in Japan
If online ends up coming to NA, I'll definitely be purchasing this game. Lack of online is the only reason I didn't get it.
Re: Splatoon's Hammerhead Bridge Map Opens For Business Tomorrow
Another new map? This is the game that keeps on giving.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Master Quest World Tour Gets Extended
No Arizona? Ah well.
Re: Splatoon Amiibo Scheduled to be Restocked in Japan
Callie and Marie amiibo when?
And how about a restock in the US. I really want that inkling girl amiibo.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is Hitting the Wii U Virtual Console Very Soon
My Nintendo 64 is broken, so I'll probably get this to hold me out until I eventually get to buying a new one.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Confirms That Recent Super Smash Bros. DLC Additions Weren't From the Fan Ballot
Inklings please.
Re: Super Mario Maker Will Allow You to Unlock amiibo Mystery Suits for Figures You Don't Own
Good. This was the only amiibo feature in a game I actually wanted to use. I was worried I'd have to open the boxes of the few amiibo I have.
Re: Here Are Your Eight Qualifying Nintendo World Championships 2015 Finalists
I'm calling it. The Asian will win.
Re: Splatoon’s Kelp Dome Multiplayer Map Is Now Live
So that's a total of 7 maps now, I believe. Nice. Let's keep it coming, Nintendo.
Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (3DS)
Played the demo... not a huge fan of the controls. I'll just hold out for the Wii U version.
Re: E3 2014: Nintendo Hopes to Share Metroid News in the "Near Future"
2D Metroid? Yes please.
Re: E3 2014: Mega Sableye Footage Unveiled For Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
I don't want to be negative, but that's such a lame design. Ah well.
Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for June, Led by Kirby Once Again
I'd get Mario Party 2, but I really don't want it because it's on Wii VC. I'd get it if it was on Wii U.
Re: E3 2014: Hyrule Warriors Not Part of Zelda Timeline, More Like an Avengers Spin-Off
I like the timeline stuff in Zelda, but this doesn't disappoint me at all. There is no way this would be able to fit into the timeline without it being plain stupid.
Re: Feature: All Of The Vital Super Smash Bros. Roundtable Details, As Pac-Man Joins The Fight
Didn't like the idea of Pacman until I saw the video. Pacman looks like a fun character to play as; and very similar to Game & Watch. That's not a bad thing either.
Re: Feature: The Ultimate Super Smash Bros. Direct Round-Up
I'm so happy Midna is an assist trophy. A bit disappointed she didn't become a playable character, but this is still awesome.
