That's cool and all, just get it out of your system, Nintendo, so you can focus on other remasters that matter; like Twilight Princess and Wind Walker HD for Switch.
This does proof that the call for RARE games on Nintendo is being heard. It gives me hope that more RARE games will launch on Switch in the near future.
Just release the first and second generations on NSO, that's all I am asking. I have a feeling the only games coming to NSO are Pokémon Pinball. Edit: by the way: is that the usual background music in this teaser?
I refuse to believe that Sea of Thieves can run natively on Switch. If this rumour is true it must be a Cloud based version and I reject those games with the core of my being.
It's funny because Suicide Squad isn't a broken game for once, it's just another grind business on wheels. Don't get me wrong, if this games float your goat, good for you, but I am not buying into this highly repetitive game that's more a chore than fun.
Nintendo being unpredictable as ever will remaster Donkey Kong Jungle Beat HD with a new wireless version of the Konga Bongo's. Sold separately of course.
I am getting some serious GTA Trilogy vibes here. Let's see how this thing runs first before I start complaining about the fact that there isn't a physical release I probably won't buy because this game is badly optimised.
The first Pokémon remakes came as a total surprise to me. I loved them, but somehow I expected a bit more. Maybe because it was incredibly hard to surpass Gold & Silver. Ruby and Sapphire didn't live up to those standards, so LG and FR couldn't either. They are still very solid games if you ask me.
Fire Emblem Sacred Stones should be given for 2024, but what I really want is a localized version of The Binding Blade. It also about time that Nintendo releases the original Pokémon games on NSO... The drip feed is just too slow.
I want Retro to take their time so they can make the best Metroid Prime sequel. We'll probably see this game on the next hardware successor, but every Direct I hope to see just a little glimpse of the game.
Why is it that every year Nintendo seems to give the Mario franchise more love than the Zelda universe? Where's Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD for Switch, Nintendo? You may have guessed, but I won't be getting this Princess Peach game any time soon.
I have tried the first game multiple times, but it just didn't grab me. Might have been the long intro. I will definitely give these gems another go, because I know they are incredible games. Let's hope it grips tight and doesn't let go this time.
I am still on the fence in this one. Yes, the reviews are good and there is a lot of praise floating around... But it still doesn't quite fit for me that a Prince of Persia game isn't featuring the actual Prince. I don't what let that be the reason to avoid playing a good game, so I'll wait for a discount.
Considering Nintendo and Rare/Microsoft teamed up for Banjo Kazooie and GoldenEye (which was highly unlikely) I would have expected at least something Donkey or Diddy Kong related since those are actual Nintendo properties.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Release Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker for Switch already, Nintendo... Throw in Metroid Prima Echoes HD as a bonus and I am happy for the rest of the year. The Switch's Successor can wait.
Personally, I don't get a lot of 'hate" since (most of) my friends (and most of their partners as well) play games themselves. With games for a more general public, such as Call of Duty and FIFA, I do feel that more people then ever play games. What I find mostly true is that the generation of my parents (now between 55 and 65) generally still have issues with hobbies and occupations that are practiced in front of a screen.
I remember playing The Faces of Evil on the CD-i, back then I wasn't old enough to buy my own console and my parents bought me the Philips console thinking it was the next bit thing. Oh, boy, we're they wrong. Me, being a kid, wasn't aware of what kind of monstrosity we had in our home so I "enjoyed" every game I could get my hands on. I remember the Zelda and Mario CD-i games were (and are) terrible, but nevertheless I played them thinking that they were complete products. To this day I never played this games. I might just buy Azerette to check it I can get some flashbacks of the old days. All and all together I think just even making this game is either brilliant or really genius.
Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD are a given and should've been playable on the Switch by now. Did anyone mention F-Zero GX? Come on, gang, this game was highly requested for a port or remaster not long ago!
Metroid Prime Remastered, because I would like to see more GameCube games being remade or remastered. Also because I find Tears of the Kingdom an over glorified sequel.
Ever since Gold/Silver/Crystal it's been downhill for this franchise. One step forwards, two steps back and that for a couple of years. We have reached the point that the steps forward do not outweigh the steps backwards.
I find it quite humble that mr. Aonuma even decided to go to such a low level event that is the Game Awards. They should be thanking him for showing up.
He's introduction in Ocarina was good, yes, but the real impression he made for me was the fact that, after defeating the king of evil and escaping the crumbling tower, he was still alive underneath the rubble only to transform into the beast we know as Ganon. I remember the fight being on such a scale that my TV couldn't show the entirety that he's beast form was. The feeling of "this is far from over" always stuck with me and I don't believe any other boss battle lived up to this one.
Song of Healing, but that one doesn't count for this list. I choose Saria's Sing, mainly because my friends occasionally whistle this song while a few of them don't even know it's from Zelda.

Re: Poll: What Switch Online Rare Game Are You Playing This Weekend?
None, this is basically picking from the bottom of the barrel. If the Pokémon games don't come to NSO this week I might even cancel my subscription.
Re: Five More Classic Rareware Games Come To Nintendo Switch Online Today
This does proof that the call for RARE games on Nintendo is being heard. It gives me hope that more RARE games will launch on Switch in the near future.
Re: Capcom Nintendo Direct Reveal May Have Just Gone Live Early
This isn't the Oracle of Seasons/Ages remake I was hoping for...
Re: Pokémon Presents Announced For 27th February 2024
Just release the first and second generations on NSO, that's all I am asking. I have a feeling the only games coming to NSO are Pokémon Pinball. Edit: by the way: is that the usual background music in this teaser?
Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Isn't Coming Until 2025, What's Nintendo Got Up Its Sleeve This Year?
More GameCube games on Switch! Zelda Ports and more remastered Metroid Prime. That's all I am asking for this year.
Re: Nintendo Showcases All 94 Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo In New Graphic
Nobody ever will financially recover from buying all these.
Re: Social Media Post Heavily Hints Toward 'Sea Of Thieves' Switch Release
I refuse to believe that Sea of Thieves can run natively on Switch. If this rumour is true it must be a Cloud based version and I reject those games with the core of my being.
Re: Random: It's Been Five Long Years Since Hollow Knight: Silksong Was Officially Announced
This game doesn't exists. Even if it shows up at the Xbox Event tomorrow I'll pretend it still isn't real.
Re: Soapbox: With Switch Online, It's The Perfect Time To Bring Back These Wii U Gems
Just rerelease the Wii U games we still can't play on Switch, Nintendo. I am looking at you Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
Re: Video: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered - 13 Minutes Of Direct Switch Gameplay
These games are flawed, but still great nonetheless. Now that it looks like these remasters run decent I might consider buying this package.
Re: Scarlet & Violet Are Now The Third Best-Selling Pokémon Games Of All Time
Insert standard "yes, but what about the performance issues" statement here.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Zooms Past 60 Million Sales
@JHDK I think you are right on the "nearly impossible" state here. In this case I'd rather see a remaster of Double Dash instead of a Mario Kart 9.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Nintendo Remake Ever?
Metroid Prime Remastered, but why isn't it on this list?
Edit: nevermind... remakes not remasters.
Re: UK Charts: Suicide Squad Kills The Competition Despite Mixed Reception
It's funny because Suicide Squad isn't a broken game for once, it's just another grind business on wheels. Don't get me wrong, if this games float your goat, good for you, but I am not buying into this highly repetitive game that's more a chore than fun.
Re: Exclusive: Absurd Couch Co-Op 'Servonauts' Is Docking On Switch Later This Year
Overcooked is still one of my favorite co-op games. My friends and I had a lot of laughs. Maybe with this game will have a similar experience.
Re: Nintendo's Switch Online Service Spotlights Donkey Kong With New Hub
Nintendo being unpredictable as ever will remaster Donkey Kong Jungle Beat HD with a new wireless version of the Konga Bongo's. Sold separately of course.
Re: Aspyr On Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Physical Release: "We Have Not Made Any Announcements"
I am getting some serious GTA Trilogy vibes here. Let's see how this thing runs first before I start complaining about the fact that there isn't a physical release I probably won't buy because this game is badly optimised.
Re: Analysts Doubt 'Switch 2' Will Be Able To Top Switch's Mighty Sales Numbers
Why do we still call it the Switch 2 as this "successor" will probably be the long awaited Switch Pro?
Re: Anniversary: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Are 20 Years Old Today
The first Pokémon remakes came as a total surprise to me. I loved them, but somehow I expected a bit more. Maybe because it was incredibly hard to surpass Gold & Silver. Ruby and Sapphire didn't live up to those standards, so LG and FR couldn't either. They are still very solid games if you ask me.
Re: Feature: 21 Game Boy Advance Games We'd Love To See Added To Nintendo Switch Online
Fire Emblem Sacred Stones should be given for 2024, but what I really want is a localized version of The Binding Blade. It also about time that Nintendo releases the original Pokémon games on NSO... The drip feed is just too slow.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Development Updates Seemingly Discovered
I want Retro to take their time so they can make the best Metroid Prime sequel. We'll probably see this game on the next hardware successor, but every Direct I hope to see just a little glimpse of the game.
Re: Princess Peach: Showtime! Trailer Reveals Ninja Peach And Cowgirl Peach
Why is it that every year Nintendo seems to give the Mario franchise more love than the Zelda universe? Where's Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD for Switch, Nintendo? You may have guessed, but I won't be getting this Princess Peach game any time soon.
Re: ZREO Is Revisiting Zelda: Twilight Symphony With An 80-Piece Orchestra
@Kirbyo if only this was true. Apparently it's even too much to ask for Twilight Princess HD on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Switch Menu Mockups Found On Prototype Console
Looks pretty clean if you ask me.
Re: LEGO Zelda 'Deku Tree' Set Rumours Resurface Online
Take my disposable money. I want one so I can display it and one to keep in the box, locked away until my grandchildren find it.
Re: Back Page: 'DO NOT MENTION SWITCH 2' - We Infiltrate Nintendo And Sneak A Peek At Its 2024 Calendar
Nobody mentioned Tom Holland being cast as Link in the Legend of Zelda movie? This will happen and we ain't going to like it.
Re: Review: Golden Sun - A Radiant RPG, Once It Gets Going
I have tried the first game multiple times, but it just didn't grab me. Might have been the long intro. I will definitely give these gems another go, because I know they are incredible games. Let's hope it grips tight and doesn't let go this time.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown?
I am still on the fence in this one. Yes, the reviews are good and there is a lot of praise floating around... But it still doesn't quite fit for me that a Prince of Persia game isn't featuring the actual Prince. I don't what let that be the reason to avoid playing a good game, so I'll wait for a discount.
Re: Aspyr Finally Reveals More Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Details
Okay, but is it any good?
Re: Feature: 25 Nintendo 64 Games We'd Love To See Added To The Switch Online Expansion Pack

Re: When Will The First Nintendo Direct Of The Year Be? Let's Look To The Past
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Release Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker for Switch already, Nintendo... Throw in Metroid Prima Echoes HD as a bonus and I am happy for the rest of the year. The Switch's Successor can wait.
Re: Nintendo Switch Was The Console With The Most Game Releases In 2023
Quantity over quality, right?
Re: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Switch Frame Rate, Resolution & Accessibility Revealed
I am still on the fence for this one. Yes, everything seems to add up quite nicely, but I can't put my finger on it. I'll wait for the reviews first.
Re: Soapbox: "Go Outside, Get Some Fresh Air" - Why Won't Outmoded Gamer Stereotypes Die?

Re: Talking Point: Our 2024 Nintendo Gaming Predictions
Just give me more GameCube remakes/remasters, Nintendo. Wind Waker, Twillight Princess, F-Zero GX. I'll pay full price, I swear.
Re: Plans Are Reportedly In Place To Celebrate Earthbound's 30th Anniversary
Mother 3 on NSO, but only for Japan. Noted.
Re: Talking Point: What Was The Best Switch Moment Of 2023?
Close call between Metroid Prime and GB coming to NSO. GB/GBA on NSO was good, but MP remastered in all of its glory takes the cake.
Re: Feature: Meet The 'Arzette' Dev Salvaging The Zelda CD-i Games' "Genuine Potential"

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2024
Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD are a given and should've been playable on the Switch by now. Did anyone mention F-Zero GX? Come on, gang, this game was highly requested for a port or remaster not long ago!
Re: Soapbox: In 2023, Mario Got Weird Again
I hope Nintendo pushed out their Mario for 2023 so they can focus on bringing Wind Waker and Twilight Princess to the Switch.
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite Switch Games Of The Year 2023
Metroid Prime Remastered, because I would like to see more GameCube games being remade or remastered. Also because I find Tears of the Kingdom an over glorified sequel.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk DLC
Ever since Gold/Silver/Crystal it's been downhill for this franchise. One step forwards, two steps back and that for a couple of years. We have reached the point that the steps forward do not outweigh the steps backwards.

I love sharing all my personal data, especially when I am generally ask to do so.
Re: 'Chico And The Magic Orchards DX' Is Like Zelda: Link's Awakening With More Puzzles
Looks actually pretty decent, but not sure if want.
Re: New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Trailer Showcases All 96 Circuits
Nintendo should do a Microsoft and skip number 9 all together. Call the next installment Mario Kart X and fan boys and gals will lose their minds.
Re: Random: The Game Awards Urged Eiji Aonuma To 'Wrap Up' Zelda Acceptance Speech
I find it quite humble that mr. Aonuma even decided to go to such a low level event that is the Game Awards. They should be thanking him for showing up.
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Listed On The Microsoft Store
"Improved graphics, controls, and audio". Improved controls, if they fixed that terrible camera this might be worth a buy.
Re: Soapbox: Ganondorf's Villainous Intro In Ocarina Of Time Is One Of Gaming's Best
He's introduction in Ocarina was good, yes, but the real impression he made for me was the fact that, after defeating the king of evil and escaping the crumbling tower, he was still alive underneath the rubble only to transform into the beast we know as Ganon. I remember the fight being on such a scale that my TV couldn't show the entirety that he's beast form was. The feeling of "this is far from over" always stuck with me and I don't believe any other boss battle lived up to this one.
Re: Feature: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Every Ocarina Song, Ranked From 'Worst' To Best
Song of Healing, but that one doesn't count for this list. I choose Saria's Sing, mainly because my friends occasionally whistle this song while a few of them don't even know it's from Zelda.
