@Novuscourvous I will concede that AoC and BotW had decent stories, but TotK’s story was an absolute trainwreck that severely harmed that game’s quality
In terms of the amount of and quality of cutscenes, sure. But they desperately need to get new writers since the last few Zelda stories have been very weak (especially TOTK)
I liked the game, I don’t think it’s the masterpiece that everyone else does but it’s still a pretty fun experience (most of the time). I can’t see myself playing through the whole game again on switch 2 but perhaps I’ll finally play the dlc
Legends Z-A and MP4 probably had equal amounts of controversy, but I guess never underestimate the power of Pokemon compared to Metroid. Hopefully the next 2D game sells well at least like dread did

Re: Talking Point: Are You Tired Of The Talking Flower Yet?
I’m not tired of him yet, but every new inclusion of him has made me like him less and less…
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Limited-Time Special Event Announced - "More Spores For Hoppip"
Having limited time Pokemon in a game all about doing things at your own pace is a horrible idea
Re: The New Castlevania Title "Is Not A Roguelike Or Roguelite Game"
They REALLY were trying to not say “metroidvania”

Deltarune Tomorrow
Re: Switch 2 Noir-Fueled Detective FPS 'Mouse: P.I. For Hire' Has Been Slightly Delayed
But will it have ‘mouse controls’?
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins Album, Here's Every Song Included
Predicting Nintendo music drops is truly a fool’s errand…
Re: Fans Are Asking Nintendo To Refund Xenoblade Chronicles X's Switch 2 Upgrade
@Strictlystyles refunds will send a stronger message to Nintendo, same thing happened with Scarlett and violet
Re: Hands On: Xenoblade Chronicles X & Mira Are Even More Magnificent On Switch 2
@Spider-Kev I thought we were only focusing on switch 2 editions of Nintendo games… if we consider third parties there are definitely other candidates
Re: Hands On: Xenoblade Chronicles X & Mira Are Even More Magnificent On Switch 2
“This is admittedly the smallest paid switch 2 edition yet…”
I’d argue Legends Z-A is just as barebones for double the price
Re: Video: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Shines On Switch 2 In This Side-By-Side Comparison
@Rice that really sucks, handheld was the main thing I was gonna buy the upgrade for
Re: Video: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Shines On Switch 2 In This Side-By-Side Comparison
@Rice why does it look worse? Surely 1080p and 60fps in handheld was all it needed right?
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?
Is anyone here really hyped for the drip feed of virtual boy games of all things?
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom And Breath Of The Wild Updates Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Robot99 that’s me! I only own the Wii U version 😭
Re: Free-To-Play Racer Asphalt Legends Gets A Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
@Nep-Nep-Freak Nintendo is clearly ultra paranoid about people buying the wrong version of a game
Re: Gallery: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Official Character Posters Have Been Revealed
I didn’t think the sequel would get me as excited as the original, but what I’m seeing is looking promising.
Re: Nintendo Is Considering A Switch 2 Price Hike This Year, According To New Report
@ParrakerriRush
Nintendo: “Best I can do is $70 for Mario Tennis and Pokopia”
Re: PSA: Watch The First Super Mario Movie For Free, Before Galaxy Arrives (US)
Thought this was the 90s Mario movie for a sec 😭
Re: Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection To Be Delisted Just Two Years After Release
Limited Run Games indeed…
Re: My Nintendo Store Adds A New Virtual Boy Reward (Europe)
I love how Nintendo is trying to pretend that the virtual boy was one of their defining systems right alongside systems like the GameCube and GBA
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario Tennis Fever For Switch 2?
As a mostly single player gamer, no. I already own Aces so if my friends and I want to play Mario tennis we’ll play that
Re: Rayman Really Is Back, According To The Series Creator
A remake that’s in HD? No way
Re: Tales Of Arise - Switch 2 Performance And Resolution Revealed
Shouldn’t the game have better performance in docked mode? Like every other switch 2 game?
Re: Talking Point: Age Of Imprisonment Could Inspire Next Zelda Game, Say Devs, But What Does That Mean?
@Novuscourvous I will concede that AoC and BotW had decent stories, but TotK’s story was an absolute trainwreck that severely harmed that game’s quality

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Switch 2 New Pre-Order Bonus Revealed (US)
@PessitheMystic idk something’s telling me this game is actually gonna sell really well
Re: Splatoon 3's New Job Scenarios Are Wrapping Up With The Next Eggstra Work Event
I never could get into Eggstra work, so I don’t really care personally
Re: Video: Hollow Knight - Side-By-Side Graphics And Performance Comparison (Switch 2 & Switch)
Can confirm, the game feels really nice at 120fps. I didn’t play Silksong yet, so this is new to me
Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley Will Be Part Of Your Switch 2 World This March
A whole new world of performance
Re: Switch 2 Exclusive 'Orbitals' Mixes Anime Visuals And Co-Op Puzzle Platforming This Summer
I would buy a single player game in this style in a heartbeat
Re: Hollow Knight - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Has Been Rated
I liked the game, I don’t think it’s the masterpiece that everyone else does but it’s still a pretty fun experience (most of the time). I can’t see myself playing through the whole game again on switch 2 but perhaps I’ll finally play the dlc
Re: Rumour: Xenoblade Chronicles Voice Actor Might Have Leaked Evidence Of A New Release
If you’ve played Future Redeemed and seen the ending, this should make a lot of sense as the next game, rather than a 2DE:
Re: Nintendo Explains Why Switch Games Are Still Getting Free Updates
That bodes well for future patches (like Xenoblade). Especially if Xenoblade 4 is coming sooner then we think (which I do think is happening)
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 5th February 2026
@SpacedDuck it’s definitely not third party, so no Xenoblade tomorrow
Re: Metroid Prime 4 & Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Sales Get Off To A Slow Start
Legends Z-A and MP4 probably had equal amounts of controversy, but I guess never underestimate the power of Pokemon compared to Metroid. Hopefully the next 2D game sells well at least like dread did
Re: Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake Switch 2 Demo And Silent Hill f DLC Collab Announced
Hopefully silent hill f will come as well
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
@Dman10 the general direct is definitely still coming in the next couple weeks
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
@Iconoclysm no you’re right, for some reason I thought Mouser was an rpg character
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
@Markiemania95 you’re absolutely right, I forgot about that. Still a relatively obscure character to feature though!
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
@AussieMcBucket around 1:34 in the trailer!
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie's New Trailer Shares A "First Look" At Yoshi
Was that Mouser in the trailer?? Are we getting rpg characters?
Edit: I forgot that mouser came from Mario 2
Re: Sonic Racing Open To Including More 'Deep Cut' Characters From Extended Sonic Universe
Shiver, Frye and Big Man are coming to Crossworlds?? 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
For $10 maybe, for $20 I’d rather buy an indie game on sale
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup In Bellabel Park Arrives On Switch 2 In March
@SBandy1 the YouTube video is running in 4K, so unless there’s a performance mode it’s probably just 4K 60fps
Re: Random: Mario Wonder's New Box Art Might Be The Ugliest 'Switch 2 Edition' Cover Yet
It’s doesn’t even make any sense, it’s not like bellabell park is half the game or anything, it should just be a small sticker on the bottom corner
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.5.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
This is nice and all but why can’t we make our own knockout tours, that would be so fun???
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Version 3.1.0 Update Now Live, Here Are The Patch Notes
Glad to see the game get even more Polished!
I’ll see myself out

I thought this was gonna end with a Xenoblade upgrade reveal, thanks for the reality check Nintendo!
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update 3.0.0 Patch Notes - Switch 2 And Switch New Content, Features And More
This is definitely less meaty than 2.0, but hey I’ll take what I can get
Re: Hazelight Founder Josef Fares On EA: "Let's Be Honest, There's Not A Publisher In The World That Hasn't F****d Up"
Lakes and gentlemen, Stockholm syndrome.
Re: More Switch Games Have Received Switch 2 Compatibility Updates
Can they fix the resolution too? I always found the games really fuzzy, even if that’s the least of their problems.
