Bleh... I really wanted to love this game but it just fell flat. Unless Nintendo adds new content, I have no intention of dropping $60 on a zero-effort Wii port.
Dock: $80 (after shipping & tax) Official Power Adapter: $30 (pre tax) That's $120 just to get this dock to function, making it the most expensive part of the Switch. Nope.
Shocked and a little saddened at the lack of 2D love. I've never come close to finishing a 3D Zelda (unless you count Link's Awakening on Switch) but I've finished every single 2D offering; some multiple times.
@ColdSummer - Amazon UK preorders are up (again) right now. I just grabbed one as a backup in case scalpers clean-out the US versions... which, of course, they will.
@ColdSummer - My defeatist theory is that we're not getting pre-orders (Nintendo's done this to us before). It's going to be in-store only, which is super fun during a pandemic.
@ColdSummer - Yeah. I was foolish and didn't jump on the UK pre-orders because I thought: "Oh, the US orders will open-up any time now." Ugh... Still waiting.
@Clyde_Radcliffe - I remember back in the 80s and 90s when we used to just call them "shooters". I loath the term shmup. It's clunky sounding, is awkward to say and saves zero time. I will die on this hill.

My all time favorite Zelda.
Re: Nintendo Details Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Big First Anniversary Update
All I want is more than 8 ramps. God knows I don't ask for much.

This game took longer to develop than the time it was available to play.
Re: R-Type Final 2 Won't Follow The "Bullet Hell" Trend Seen In Recent Shmups
Hmm... a game for more than 1% of gamers? What a concept!
Re: The New Animal Crossing X Mario Warp Pipe Lets You Access The Fourth Level
That's cool. Now, how about allowing more than 8 ramps??
Re: Video: Check Out This Side-By-Side Comparison Of Pokémon Diamond And Pearl On Switch And DS
I'll stick with the original.
Re: Tails' Voice Actor Won't Be Voicing The Character In Sonic Prime
So much Sonic VO drama of late. Weird.

I just put this on my Switch last night and am about to play this game for the very first time...
Re: Nintendo Gives Us A Look At The Switch Box Art For Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
Bleh... I really wanted to love this game but it just fell flat. Unless Nintendo adds new content, I have no intention of dropping $60 on a zero-effort Wii port.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Then?
Mario Golf and that's about it.
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Skyward Sword Is Good, Actually
My least favorite Zelda, and it has nothing to do with the motion controls.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Hits Switch This July Alongside Themed Joy-Con
Well, at least the Joy-Cons are nice.
Re: Return To The Fairway, When Mario Golf: Super Rush Arrives On Switch This June
My favorite sport franchise. This was all I wanted from today's ND.
Re: Random: Did You Know About Nintendo Switch's ZL/ZR Battery Feature?
@TheBigK - It defies all logic, like having a speedometer without hash marks or numbers. These people are monsters.
Re: The Konami Code Unlocks A Hidden Castlevania Tribute In Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night
A more challenging version? No thanks. I'm good.
Re: Random: Arkansas Dental Practice Offers Nintendo Switch To Encourage Brushing And Flossing
A healthy smile is its own reward.
Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Mario Game?
I'm greatly disappointed in the lack of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island on this list.
Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite GameCube Console Variant?
Always wanted Pumpkin Spice in the US but we never got it. Orange used to be my favorite color... used to be.
Re: Feature: Cyber Shadow Dev On 8-Bit Classics And How We Can Thank Yacht Club For The Switch Launch
Oooo... this comes out tomorrow. Good. Good.
Re: Yacht Club's New Game Cyber Shadow Will Take About "4 To 10 Hours" To Complete
It's not the size of the game that matters.........
Re: Fancy A Second Switch Dock For Your Bedroom Or Office? Now's Your Chance
Dock: $80 (after shipping & tax)
Official Power Adapter: $30 (pre tax)
That's $120 just to get this dock to function, making it the most expensive part of the Switch. Nope.
Re: Feature: What’s The Sexiest Nintendo Console Ever?
Wait. No NES? No Switch? That said, I was certain that my Orange Spice vote would be the minority. I was shocked to be completely wrong.
Re: Frustrated Fan Makes My Nintendo Physical Reward Stock Checker
I got a red, non-digital, actually-physical, Mario coin purse.
Re: Best Of 2020: How Nintendo Killed The Best Version Of Tetris
Tetris DX is the GOAT(etris).
Re: Huge Capcom Leak Suggests New Final Fight, Power Stone, Mega Man And Dragon's Dogma Games Are Coming
Power Stone was my most played game on Dreamcast so I'm super hyped but, oof... Q3 2024?? Dang.
Re: Hardware Review: Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. - A Gorgeous Object That Leaves You Wanting More
@Electric-Dreams - Once this is mod-ready, I'm loading mine with Game & Watch games only. This is the way.
Re: Nintendo Wants To Know Whether You Prefer 2D Or 3D Zelda Games
Shocked and a little saddened at the lack of 2D love. I've never come close to finishing a 3D Zelda (unless you count Link's Awakening on Switch) but I've finished every single 2D offering; some multiple times.
Re: The Super Mario Game & Watch Has Been Hacked Already, And It Could Fix That Unfortunate Bug
More than enough space to add a bunch of Game & Watch ROMs.
Re: Random: Atari Shows Off Concept Art For Its New Hotels, And It All Looks Insane
This will never happen. Atari is dead. It's nothing but a name.
Re: Minecraft's Steve Revealed As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter
That is truly thinking outside the box.
(see what I did there?)
Re: Where To Pre-Order Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.
@ColdSummer - Amazon UK preorders are up (again) right now. I just grabbed one as a backup in case scalpers clean-out the US versions... which, of course, they will.
Re: Poll: What's The Best 3D Mario Game?
1. Odyssey and 64
2. The rest
Because opinions.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.
@ColdSummer - Any new theories?
Re: Here's The Resolution Of Each Game In Super Mario 3D All-Stars
Guess Nintendo's saving Mario 64 Remastered for the 40th anniversary.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.
This should have been the scale of the Game Gear Micro... renamed to Game Gear Mini and packed with 40 games.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit On Nintendo Switch
SCALPERS ASSEMBLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!
Re: 8BitDo Reveals Its New Customisable Arcade Stick For Nintendo Switch, Pre-Orders Now Live
I don't play fighting games but this is very tempting for my collection of non-fighting, arcade-style games.
Re: How Well Do You Know Rare And Its Nintendo Games?
Anyone else hate that MS owns Rare IP? No? Just me?
Re: Super Dodge Ball Is The Latest Arcade Archives Classic To Hit The Switch
If these were $4.99 I'd buy them all.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Final Fantasy Game On Nintendo Consoles?
Both SNES FFs... whatever Roman numerals you wanna give 'em.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 22nd)
The Touryst, finally.
Re: Switch Shmup Jet Lancer's Getting A Free Arcade Mode Update
@Clyde_Radcliffe - I remember back in the 80s and 90s when we used to just call them "shooters". I loath the term shmup. It's clunky sounding, is awkward to say and saves zero time.
I will die on this hill.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th August (North America)
Phew... my wallet can take a break this week.
Re: Video: See The Amazing LEGO NES Built From Start To Finish In Our Block-Busting Timelapse
Hmm....... food or LEGO NES????
Re: Random: Nintendo Posts New Image Of Mario In The Sunshine, Internet Goes Wild Again
Maybe it's just me but, for whatever reason, Sunshine (which I love) always felt like the Super Mario 2 (which I also love) of the 3D Marios.
