Personally I would put Odyssey at #1, but I haven't played most of the SNES games enough to place them, other than Yoshi's Island, which would have been my clear #1 If it had been included. I am surprised that SMS and SM64 aren't higher.
I've never understood the love for SMG1 & 2. Yes, they are good, but I don't think they were better than SMS or SM64. My thoughts on them might change though, if we get 1080p remasters running at 60hz at some point, as the Wii definitely held them back a lot.
Also, SMW is good, but no where near the top. Trying to play it with 4 players is more of a pain than fun, because the camera follows one specific character, and it isn't as crazy imaginative as some of the 3D games. And the plotline is just lazy.
This is definitely one of their weakest songs. Seems like they made a list of words they ABSOLUTELY needed to include, and then just wrote something random about it and added some riffs. And then pulled up the sword by the blade, ugh.
I think it comes down how it was at the time it was released. Sure, the remakes are still great games, but they don't have the same impact as when the originals were released.
For instance, OoT on N64 has blurryness in distances and short draw distances, making it visually a much more mysterious game than later releases, and it subtracts a lot from it, personally.
What about an option for those of us who have never played a Pokemon game? I just never got one as a kid, and now that I have grown up, they seem quite shallow gameplay wise, so I never bought one.
I like the premise, and loved the trailer. But the actual looks of the game leaves quite a bit to be desired... It looks bland, lacks detail, and the animations are quite crude. Such a pity.
I get strong NES Jurassic Park vibe from the looks of it.
If it is really cheap, or the reviews extremely good, then I will buy it. Otherwise no, as it looks like a really cheap Wii-style game with lousy controls.
I will likely skip it. It came off as one of the weakest 3D Zeldas (Skyloft was empty, Fi was freaking annoying (And I love Navi, which says something!), story was so-so), and I have an enormous back log on the Switch anyway.
Their platform would seem to cater more to mature people if they had proper online functionality, and actually updated their Switch software to be able to do things which are expected for modern platforms.
I've been wanting a Switch since it came out, but with 2 kids, spare time is not something I have plenty of, so I have been postponing buying one. And with the drift issue, a severe lack of software updates for the console (Other than stability, which is nice, but everything else appear to be missing..), barebones online functionality, and the fact that the console is 3 years old now, which is eons in hardware development time, I've decided to skip it for now.
If Nintendo releases an updated version with modern hardware (CPU/GPU, and drift fix), then I will get that on day one. Otherwise, I'll pick up a used Switch some years from now.
I really like the look and joyful setting of this one. But the actual gameplay looks as if the controls are pretty bad.. Will wait for a review to decide.

Re: Konami's Octopus Platformer Swims Onto Switch 2 Next Year, While Switch 1 Version Goes MIA
This game looks REALLY good. But no way the Switch will handle it properly.
Re: 'Bad Cheese' Is Another Survival Horror With Cuphead-Inspired Visuals
Something went into the public domain last year I see.
Re: Random: Zelda Fan-Project Turns 'Breath Of The Wild' Into Stunning Anime Opening
I love Zelda, I love anime, but this didn't do anything for me. Simple slideshow with a bad choice of music.
Re: All Aboard! 'Loco Motive' Brings A Lucasarts-Style Comedy Adventure To Switch Next Week
Looks great! Very much like a Lucasarts game.

Re: Splatoon 3's 'Splatoween' Event Returns With A Spooky Splatfest
How does one access this? Does it require an online subscription?
Re: New 'Cozy' Game Inspired By Zelda: BotW And Studio Ghibli Fully Funded For Switch
Looks like a mid tier PS1 game with increased resolution.
Re: Cyberpunk Goes Turn-Based In New Rhythm JRPG 'Keylocker'
I got a lot of SNES Shadowrun vibes from this one, and thats a good thing. Love the music, and the art.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of The Borderlands Movie Are In
Based on that trailer, the producers clearly had absolutely zero idea of who or what the character Tiny Tina is.
Re: Random: People Are Still Discovering Secrets About BOTW's DLC Blight Battles
That is a very dull video.
Re: Best Cozy Games On Switch
Spiritfarer is one of the best experiences I have had in a game, and it caught me completely by surprise. Very highly recommended!!
Re: Best Zelda Games Of All Time
@Ulysses no clue as I have no intention to pay for NSO. But it would surprise me if it isn’t the same version as the Wii emulation version.
Re: Random: Dragonforce's Latest Single Is A Perfect Tribute To The Legend of Zelda
This is definitely one of their weakest songs. Seems like they made a list of words they ABSOLUTELY needed to include, and then just wrote something random about it and added some riffs. And then pulled up the sword by the blade, ugh.
A pity, awesome band otherwise!

Re: Bilkins' Folly Brings Charming Pixel Art, Treasure Hunting And Cute Dogs To Switch This Year
Yeah, that definitely hits my buy list. Very Money Island inspired.
Re: Random: Fan-Made Game Mixes Classic Sonic With Donkey Kong Country
What is the DK inspiration here? That there are palm trees? That's like saying Dark Souls is a Zelda inspired game, because there are swords.
Re: Gallery: Mario Characters' Movie Vs. Game Designs - Which Do You Prefer?
I pretty much like all of the movie versions, short of Fix it Felix in Mario clothers.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailers May Hide Hieroglyphic Hints

He is one of my most favorite Zelda characters.
Re: Video: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 3 DLC Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison
This was really badly put together. Completely random footage and not worth anyones time.
Re: Poll: What Was The First Pokémon Game You Played? Nintendo Wants To Know
What about an option for those of us who have never played a Pokemon game? I just never got one as a kid, and now that I have grown up, they seem quite shallow gameplay wise, so I never bought one.
Re: Random: After Three Years Of Anonymity, Minecraft YouTuber Reveals His Face
If articles like this is going to be the norm, I will stop visiting the site. This has nothing to do with Nintendo or their games, at all.

@SteamEngenius Thank you. That information really should have been in the article, as I was wondering the same thing.
Re: Forage, Fight, And Marry Other Cats In 'Cattails: Wildwood Story', Pouncing Onto Switch In 2024
I like the premise, and loved the trailer. But the actual looks of the game leaves quite a bit to be desired... It looks bland, lacks detail, and the animations are quite crude. Such a pity.
I get strong NES Jurassic Park vibe from the looks of it.

Lovely art style!

Re: Memory Pak: Star Fox 64, My Incredible Introduction To The World Of Nintendo
@johnvboy So, a scaled up Star Fox: Dinosaur Planet? A Highly underarter game that begs for a sequel with a modern engine.
Re: 'Swords & Bones' Looks To Resurrect The Spirit Of Classic 16-Bit Adventures On Switch
That soundtrack vibe is very reminiscent of that of SNES Shadowrun.
Re: Pendula Swing Will Combine The 1920s Jazz Age With A Fantasy Cast
Man it just ruins so much when characters float like this and the game doesn't move the floor in conjunction with character animations..
Re: Fight Your Way Up To CEO When 'The Company Man' Hits Switch This Month
Great looking graphical style, and gameplay looks solid. I will likely pick this one up.
Re: Instant Sports Paradise Brings 15 Beach-Based Minigames To Switch
If it is really cheap, or the reviews extremely good, then I will buy it. Otherwise no, as it looks like a really cheap Wii-style game with lousy controls.
Re: Poll: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I will likely skip it. It came off as one of the weakest 3D Zeldas (Skyloft was empty, Fi was freaking annoying (And I love Navi, which says something!), story was so-so), and I have an enormous back log on the Switch anyway.

Looks interesting, and will pick it up if reviews are acceptable.
Really boring trailer though.
Re: Review: Toki Tori 2+ (Switch eShop)
4/5 from me. Enjoyable game, with excellent artwork and music. Clever puzzles, and game building. Not too easy, not too hard.

Darn, I was really looking forward to this one.
Re: Review: Spellbreak - A Neat Fortnite Rival Which Ironically Lacks That Magical Touch
I played a couple of games. It was okay, nothing more. Very repetitive, and skin deep IMHO.
And how the heck do people play with controllers?? Give me a mouse and keyboard any day!

Re: Nintendo Has Worked To Escape Its 'Childish' Reputation, Says Miyamoto
