I never seem to care about the special collab skins (except Geralt) or Marvel crap they offer but hope the non-IP related ones are as good as this seasons (robot skull flame Mohawk guy is pretty awesome).
Good on them. Such a great game that was the first of hundred RPGs where the side quests were always as engaging as the main story. I really should reinstall it and play some more as I got so caught up exploring I veered off the main story kind of early.
Ah yeah playing old games you cannot buy from Nintendough certainly "stifles innovation". The mental gymnastics they do to justify attacking persevation is impressive.
Coorporate greed at its finest, but hey, keep playing into it with every slightly "remastered" version at full price. They know it's easily to milk sheep now.
I mean it would be nice to get it all physical but seeing as how this won't contain everything, might as well just keep waiting for all the DLC to finish first and the inevitable ultimate complete platinum collectors edition or whatever dumb name they come up with.
@ElRoberico It's not a metroidvania game, it's a move left to right and hack and slash everything rogue lite.
The only games worth caring about as all innovation in big games is dead and it's generally become nothing but a greed machine endlessly printing re-re-remakes and sequels.
Trying to play BoTW again for the... 6th time? Still not enjoying it one bit although it is impressive to code a game where you drown in waist deep water all the time and not see the problem there.
Can't be more than what... 10,000 people who actually are gullible enough to actually ypay to beta test something... So I see why they're slow, but damn "live service" huh? Hardly.
@ChromaticDracula I mean with Nintendough's takedown of Lockpick, I think you're illegally doing that now because billion dollar corporations get to dictate what you do with things you own. Heh laws.
You.... realize you can't call a game that's been out like 2 days.. the highest rated of all time, right? Please tell me you understand the simple concept of how ratings for brand new games work... Please?
A rather pointless article when Nintendough already said Switch has some more life in it. Another year + maybe.
@BodkinDQ Amen. Almost every AAA title doesn't interest me as it's all just a graphical circle jerk now. Give me 30fps with pop in any day as long as the game has soul. Which is why Indie games are the only hope for video games to not be an endless sequel/remake cashgrab scheiße show.
@nhSnork I mean ToTK is just DLC... Lmao. A very expensive one but anyone saying otherwise is lying to themselves to make themselves accept that it's acceptable to pay $70 for an expansion now.
It's open source so it's not like it's stopping lol. Tons of countries with talented developers that don't have such over protective laws out there. Plus PC emulation isn't stopping over it.
Still, it's absolutely amazing playing Binding of Isaac: Repentance anytime anywhere on my phone without having to bring my Switch. Can't wait for the continuation even if we won't get to see Nintendough lose in court for overstepping their bounds to kill video game preservation.
@HeeHo How so very wrong you are. Ever seen BoTW on PC with mods/upscaling? Same game but one doesn't look like total ass and can run at a solid higher frame rate.
I still need to finish the game. I found myself in endless cycles of finishing side quests and obtaining new ones and never got around to completing the story.
Definitely some of the best side quests in any game, I was always interested in what little story I'd stumble on.
Played more Retro Bowl on my phone than I'd ever have expected considering I haven't cared about sports since I was a kid and how very simple the game was.
But soccer is just utterly painstakingly boring in any form. Unless there's a button to make your player fly into the air and roll around in agony when someone ALMOST touches you like in the real sport, it's been a big pass for me.
Surprised you think Advanced Wars will be out next year. Pootin' isn't going to admit defeat and get on with his day in that time frame. We can always hope he has an 'accident' though.
@msvt Your words are too dumb to mark. There will be no Switch 2 until at least 2024.
I mean yay free intros I suppose. A bit late for the double XP since I finished the free tier if the BP already. Guess I can get another title or two before it's over.
@Snatcher You know it's kind of weird, but if you're actually enjoying yourself, that "grind" is known as "playing". Crazy right?!

Don't care for the Sanic movies but Aubrey is great, might actually watch it if she was the villain.

If only reviewers were more critical of clear laziness. Nope, NL gonna sing Pokémon praise bc Nintendough.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Three Super Mario Games

Re: Round Up: Reviews For LOTR: Gollum Spell Doom For The Switch Release
Was easy to tell that game was gar age from the very first trailer. The console doesn't matter when you have a brain dead idea like that.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope 'The Last Spark Hunter' DLC Teased
Yes, yes, release all the DLC quickly so the definitive edition can go on sale for $10-$15 sooner.

Re: Miles Morales Crosses The Spider-Verse And Straight Into Fortnite
Barf. Was happy they finally stepped away from the endless Marvel garbage and here we are right back to it.
@Ryu_Niiyama I've had the BP for over 2 years from one $8 purchase and I have quite the huge collection, I only use maybe 5% of it though.
Re: Video: Extended Gameplay Of Warhammer's New Retro FPS Boltgun, Out Next Week

@Smug43 Not sure if a troll or just 12.

Sure ya did, sure ya did, because it's totally not a marketing tactic, nope not at all.
Re: Zelda: Cadence Of Hyrule Dev 'Brace Yourself Games' Confirms Layoffs
The rise of AI!
To be fair, it can do a good portion of most developers jobs these days and it isn't always complaining about wages or striking over silly crap.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Confirmed For Switch, Launching September
Oh boy that'll be a mess. MK11 is one of the only games I wish I could refund. Looks and plays so poorly on Switch.
Re: Devolver's Bleak Sword DX Brings Pocket-Sized Monster Battles To Switch Next Month
Devolver Digital is one of the best publishers out there right now and this game yet again hits it out of the park with visuals.
Might check this out to help support DD being one of the bastions of innovation left in video games.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Has Surpassed 10 Million Sales In Three Days
Imagine that, with a billion more people running around, they were able to push more copies.

Hell 11 ran low a warm turd in the sun, can't imagine how bad 12 would be on Switch.
Re: Random: Oops! Nintendo's Doug Bowser Makes Amusing Zelda Typo On Twitter
Not really a typo, just the soulless heads of compaies give 0 Fs about what they sell or to whom as long as they can get that 3rd vacation home.
Re: PSA: Zelda: TOTK Pro Controller Drifting After A Few Hours? It Might Just Need Recalibrating
That's one ugly controller. Looks like it was ghetto rigged together from the remains of 3 other controllers.

Just give us FFT2.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's New Ascend Ability Started Life As A Dev Cheat Code
Well yeah the entire game is just DLC
Re: Sharp Is Supplying LCD Displays For A 'New Console' As Fans Await Switch Successor
Except Nintendough just said they aren't making a new console soon lmao. Probably for one of the endless steam deck rip offs.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Well at least they had no holiday to rush this out for (like Pokémon).
Re: New Mortal Kombat Seemingly Teased By NetherRealm In 30th Anniversary Video
I doubt theyll port it to Switch, 11 looked and ran like a turd in the sun so this could only be worse.

Re: Severed Scores A Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Open This Friday
This game plays 100x better on the android emulator than on the bulky Switch.
Re: "DS Inspired" Precision Puzzler Reflectile Targeting Switch Release
What a world we live in when people justify asking for $35,000 from strangers to finish their hobby that will be a drop in the sea of games.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Can Still Be Enjoyed By New Players, Says Nintendo
If only they could get me to enjoy the base game instead of this DLC.

Wonder if the shirts glitch too and fall off.

Re: Feature: Missing In Action - What Happened To These Switch Games?
Surprised you think Advanced Wars will be out next year. Pootin' isn't going to admit defeat and get on with his day in that time frame. We can always hope he has an 'accident' though.
@msvt Your words are too dumb to mark. There will be no Switch 2 until at least 2024.
Re: Overwatch 2 Is Getting A Double XP Event & New Hero Trailer This Weekend
I mean yay free intros I suppose. A bit late for the double XP since I finished the free tier if the BP already. Guess I can get another title or two before it's over.
@Snatcher You know it's kind of weird, but if you're actually enjoying yourself, that "grind" is known as "playing". Crazy right?!
