I guess Other doesn't work so...

The Legend of Zelda: WHAT THE F*#% IS THAT THING KILL IT LINK!!!

@Ghostchip I dunno... A lot has changed in my life since then. I've had cancer. I went from 29 and single to 35 and married. Maybe I'm old and lame now... This is depressing.

Ya know what? At the time, I was pretty mad at those Wii U commercials because I felt like I needed to defend my Nintendo choice against the other consoles, but dang it, I like 'em now. They're funny. They were not funny at the time, though.

@rockodoodle The only thing I didn't really like about it was the controls. I never found them comfortable.

@rockodoodle I like that idea very much!

Nintendo does sometimes have a weird habit of forcing their ideals about multiplayer onto people. I can understand restricting a competitive game to local multiplayer only for some philosophical reason, but one game save per system in a game that's at least partly about creative expression is a weird move.

This is why Metacritic is useless today.

Will definitely buy on day one. I've had so much crazy fun playing this on a friend's XBOX, but friends move away sometimes. I need this.

@Peace-Boy The animation is my biggest complaint, too. It looked to me like cheap Flash animation. I feel for them needing money to make this thing what it should be, but at the same time, there's no guarantee that the animation would improve to where it needs to be once they get my money. It seems to me that you would make every effort to make something like this little show piece as perfect as you can. If that's what they can do, then no thank you.

@Zyph And why did you suddenly feel compelled to chop them?

@LetsGoSwitch That makes a lot more sense. I haven't watched any of those from Netflix. I'm going to try the love action Avatar, but I'm obviously worried.

@LetsGoSwitch I have to assume you mean they should stop making them based off of popular anime and video games because not all of their live action shows are bad.

@Dpullam I can certainly respect that. I missed some of the familiarity from past games, too. I sometimes wonder if this game was a result of the great deal of criticism Nintendo got from fans after releasing Skyward Sword. That was a very on-rails sort of world. I enjoyed it very much, but it did feel incredibly claustrophobia-inducing at times. But I don't know of anyone complaining about the story-telling of the game, which I thought was amazing. I think it could be argued that the story-telling of BotW basically required your imagination by the simple nature of the fact that only a bit of it is outright told to us. Now that we've seen the trailer for the sequel, my mind is running wild with the prospects of a much deeper story existing in the game that I wasn't paying attention to. But I also understand not feeling a deep connection with characters in the game. I think that might have been intentional, whether it's pleasing to everyone or not. I do think the sense of adventure it produces is basically unmatched in The Legend of Zelda. I was personally hoping for a sequel that uses the same engine with all of its physics and chemistry in a Hyrule with more civilization. And I guess we still don't know what this sequel will hold yet. I shouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly.

@NullPointerExcep I see. Yes, I can agree with you there. It is, for me, a strange world we live in today. It's hard to find the right balance in business practices today with the rule of the internet mob and simply garnering support. When you want something badly enough, it's pretty easy to let things run away with you.

@Dpullam Does that mean you don't care for Minish Cap much?

Also, I'm interested to hear what you don't like about recent Zelda games and what you'd prefer. I've never heard anyone not in love with BotW. That is if you don't mind sharing.

@BoilerBroJoe I thought reviews made Cadence of Hyrule sound like a bit more than just a Zelda skin of Necrodancer. I haven't gotten it yet, so I don't really know, but what I've read from others sounds like a Zelda game with some extra mechanics. But I suppose Nintendo might and probably does view it as the former.

@NullPointerExcep I don't think it's all that possible to pressure Nintendo. They've always been very comfortable doing their thing regardless of what competitors say and do. That being said, they're just stating their interest in the least in-your-face way possible. If they wanted to try pressuring Nintendo, they'd call them directly many, many times.

@BionicDodo Definitely. It reminds me of Earthworm Jim and that's never gonna be a bad thing.

@Reigestugatensho Maybe it means what some people are hoping, that Link is incapacitated for this adventure and Zelda has to resuce HIM. Game over for Link, game on for Zelda.

@Reigestugatensho Yep! I looked it up. That's the one.

@Reigestugatensho Really? I don't remember that, actually. I mean, I was expecting more of a tie to THAT game than the first game since the iconic shot from Breath of the Wild of Link looking out across Hyrule with the split mountain in the distance was a modernization of sorts of original artwork for The Adventure of Link.

Both of them sound backwards to me, which is super weird. Backwards sounds less backwards than forwards does, but still doesn't sound clear like a normal track would. Logically speaking, what I just wrote is a bit of a pill, but I stand by it!

@FiveDigitLP The best part about that connection, if it's really there, is that that's the Game Over music from the original game. Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuun!

Aside from the reveal of BotW's sequel, this was the only other thing that really got me excited this year. I'm all over this game. I need it now.

What. A. Boss. That tweet response is amazing.

How interesting. I'm usually extremely susceptible to motion sickness, especially in VR, but I didn't have a lot of trouble with BotW in VR. I mean, I wouldn't be able to play it for an hour, but it definitely wasn't an immediate upheaval of my insides.

I'd be fine with this one not coming to fruition. The videos I've seen of this thing do not interest me. I was hoping for Project HAMMER.

I really hope Nintendo doesn't try to force Sakurai into making another. But neither does it need to be the last one. Let someone else take it on.

Huge bummer for me. I'd really like to see them all together.

@NewAdvent Really? That's kinda cool. If that's true, I wonder how likely it is they'd be building off of that.

I'm not sure I'd say that Nintendo would leave out the controls if they don't feel perfect. Look at Star Fox Zero. Those controls were a mess. Nintendo will sometimes force the little things that make their consoles special if they feel like a feature is going overlooked. This could end up being one of those. That being said, I think it will work out just fine.

Oh my goodness, this hurts so much. I've been dying for a game just like this. Genuine Indian culture and architecture plus fun combat. And added to it is excellent animation. But I really only want it on my Switch and approx. $35 to get it on Switch is too much right now. I'm so sad! Maybe I'll just pledge for the Steam key and pray that Rainway becomes official on Switch.

That looks so fun! I mean, at least the setting and art style for the game. I hope it plays well. If it does, it's a definite buy for me.

Don't forget the Fire Emblem game coming next year!

Getting reeeeeaaaaaal tired of there not being any Switch downloads in these rewards.

@JunkRabbit It most certainly is. The thing I find odd is that the world of design is very much into minimalism right now and I thought most people liked it. For example, my wife loves Swedish minimalism when it comes to interior design, but I don't really like it. I'm more a fan of the Victorian-era archaeologist sort of look with trinkets and mementos and the like. I guess I like calm and minimalism when it comes to UI design, though.

@JunkRabbit That was how I felt about the icon, too. It's so relaxing and nice. It's quiet. And as far as Nintendo's warning that being too simple might make their game stand out, why exactly would that be a bad thing? Shouldn't you want to stand out so that your game gets noticed and then played more? Anyway, I think people are crazy for making a big deal out of this and I really like it.

Are they in anyway more optimal for this type of use than their other cards? If not, then...

This seems kinda genius to me.

What a major bummer. That game sounded awesome.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It probably doesn't really help Nintendo, but it certainly helps Switch owners that have been Nintendo+PC gamers for awhile, like me. There are plenty of games that won't be coming to my Switch that I'll get on PC. If I can stream those on my Switch while I'm on a break at work, how does that not help me?

I didn't play Hyrule Warriors, but I'm kinda getting excited for this one.

I know I'm probably in the minority if not completely alone, but I think it would be fun to see a Rabbid as a playable character in the next Smash.

As far as I'm concerned, it looks really fun. Hopefully the game play will be as fun as this marketing material.

That looks pretty fun. As long as it's priced right, I'll probably end up getting it to play while waiting for everyone to show up at D&D.

@olrodlegacy I couldn't agree more. It's a home console that can be used on the go in my eyes. It's interesting/super annoying to see how developers view the system.

Don't forget the volleyball mode! That looks crazy fun!

It seems to me that the prices of the physical copies of games are being subsidized by the downloads being the same price despite not having the same physical cost, meaning the physical games should cost more, but the because the downloads cost the same, they don't need to cost more. Which irks me.

@BAN Agreed. I simply can't understand how they managed to do that. The dock is plastic. It's softer than the glass. I don't believe they scratched it with the dock. They probably threw it in a bag with keys or something and are blaming it on the dock to not look culpable during the replacement process. Maybe not, but I still don't understand how they could manage those scratches with the dock.

My experience is that it will drop connection on occasion, but only when there's something obstructing the signal between the system and the controller. It's almost like it's IR and needs clear line-of-sight. Still, all I have to do is keep my knee down and it works just fine.
