A Goldorak game in 2023?! Sign me up!

No Longer Human…all that footage did was made me angry. Seriously, I couldn’t play a game like that. It’d give me a seizure.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

This makes me happy! Best news of the day! Been waiting a while for a new proper CV game.

Please no Pachinko or Castlevania Judgement 2. I’ll take anything else lol

Currently playing True Torment mode on Blasphemous. Trying to complete all the DLC on NG+.

I have to say, I’m most excited about Sebastian Maniscalco being cast in this movie more than anyone else. That guy’s hilarious. Heck, he would have been a better Mario than Pratt.

Yusss! I really enjoyed this game and now I get more content for free in a few months?

Happy to hear a sequel is on the way too. This was a great game! Highly recommended for Metroidvania fans!

I first got the NES when I was a kid. My dad told me to pick 2 games to go with it (the NES model I got didn’t come with a game). I ended up picking Kid Niki & Deadly Towers.

Kid Niki was great! Deadly Towers was…did I mention Kid Niki was great?

I actually pronounce it as A-N-N-O-Y-I-N G. I thought I heard they were supposed to “scale back” on Fi’s constant interruptions in this remake but she still appears waaay too often for me.

Master! There’s a 85% chance that switch is a time stone!

You don’t say? You mean the same switches I’ve been hitting for the past few hours? Who knew?!

I’d say either WW or SS.

The boost in sailing really helped me enjoy this game even more. The original took too long. I could put my GC controller down, make a sandwich and be back before I got to my destination (without getting hit half the time).

The bump to 60fps is quite noticeable in SS and I gotta say, shutting up Fi alone was worth the double dip.

Makes you wonder though, would Nintendo even release a remastered version of BotW in the future? What could they improve other than 1080p and 60fps? What quality of life improvements would you see?

@RadioHedgeFund
I agree that the boss fights were really well done…I mean other than that purple Pixar Rastafarian Kraken thing lol

I can only think of NES games atm:

Zelda 2 AoL - first Zelda game I ever played back in the 80s. I liked the big 2d sprites look over the top-down look of the original.

Fester’s Quest - I hated this game but I’m including it here because I never beat it. I got to the final boss and died which meant I had to restart the whole game over again. I never played it again and therefore I would play this game again to say I finally beat it.

Deadly Towers - this game is crap but I kinda got the hang of it regardless once I used graph paper to map out the dungeon mazes.

Amagon - not a great game but I still got into it. Kinda grew on me tbh.

Currently playing The Touryst. Not a bad little game so far.

Castloid sounds like something you need to apply an ointment on.

I’m not going pass judgement yet on potentially rehashing the overworld. There have been some minor hints and rumours that could prove it’ll be different (maybe I’m just being hopeful):

I think even though there are going to be parts where you are in the sky, there will still be underground parts as well. And if so, we have no idea how involved the cave systems could be. First trailer had Link and Zelda exploring a cave & this trailer showed a scene with Link using that fire shield that looked to take place in a cave (which to me would allude it wasn’t a shrine since those normally all looked futuristic in a way)

I’m also hearing possible time travel involved here. It’s possible the overworld will be similar but maybe different due to different timelines (depending how far in the past or future this can take place). I guess that depends on how far back or forward you go in time. If we’re only talking about a couple of years to explain the haircut changes then obviously that wouldn’t change much (other than maybe camp placements). Mind you, maybe Ganondorf rising could set off a chain of events that changes the topography.

Considering Zelda games are ALWAYS delayed, I’m guessing 2023 at best. I hope I’m wrong obviously lol, I want to play this game quite badly.

I figure Metroid Dread will be on time however.

FYI when making a topic like this, it wouldn’t hurt to recap the time of the presentation. I know most of us already know it but someone reading this would like to know in case they already didn’t.

This essentially looks like a non-Norse version of Jotun.

Please announce a new Castlevania game. It’s always been one of my favourite franchises. 2D or 3D, Konami or outsourced, classic or metroidvania, I just want to see another title (that isn’t for a mobile device).

I think I honestly would only double dip for this game if there was an option to keep Fi quiet.

I have no idea what my top 5 games are but the last few games that REALLY impressed me would have been

Zelda BotW
Hollow Knight
God of War

Well, it’ll be 7 years later this month that MK8 was released on the WiiU. I think it’s high time they move forward with MK9.

I personally don’t care about iPhone versions or remote controlled toys.

I wish Nintendo would stop looking at the past with re-releases on the Switch and give us proper Switch exclusive sequels.

As for DLC, I’d prefer a brand new title but if I have to settle for DLC in order to get NEW content, then so be it.

Puhlease give us another Castlevania game!

Me scrolling through NL’s headlines:

“Nintendo Teases Mario Kart...”

YUS YUS YUUUUUS!!!

“...Tour’s Brand-New City Course”

NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!

Give us MK9 already!

I’m sorry but that trailer doesn’t convince me this is fun at all. Your character moves at a snail’s pace and nothing really happened...and I get to do this for 400 days? I’m sure it’s better than that trailer makes you believe (hoping at least) but yeah, hard pass. Not for me.

Here are the three things I am hoping to see (and frankly long overdue):

-BotW2 screens, footage, extra info (story, gameplay, etc)

-Metroid Prime 4 screens, footage, extra info (story, gameplay, etc)

-New Castlevania announcement

Fingers crossed!!!

LMAO What’s with the pipi monster at the 16 sec mark?

Personally I think an 8 is too high considering the performance issues and glitches I’ve encountered. An 8 would have fit if it wasn’t for those issues IMO.

This is probably the worst gaming performance I’ve played on Switch (mind you I haven’t played as many games as others). I’ve encountered some very sloppy frame rates during crucial platforming areas which ended up giving me headaches. That’s not the mark of a great game.

When it runs smooth though, this game can shine.

@YoshiAngemon
I’m hoping they announce something Metroid or Zelda related. I doubt it’ll happen but like to you said, it’s an anniversary year.

Man I really hope this Direct isn’t all about Smash Bros. Not really a SMB fan, and quite frankly I couldn’t care any less about the roster additions or new Amibos being released.

I want the hookshot back! I like the idea you have for it being a rune. You can use it swing around, climb mountains faster, draw enemies at you, etc.

When it comes to video game injuries, only 1 comes to mind. It was Mario Party but it sure as heck wasn’t button mashing. Oh no no no no...it was that darn mini game with the exercycle. You had to spin the control stick in a circular motion as fast as possible to shine a light on a ghost.

Well we’re all laying our palms flat on the n64 controllers to spin instead of our thumbs for that extra speed. Next thing you know, we’re all sporting huge purple welts on the palms of our hands! Mine seriously looked like Joe Pesci’s after he grabbed the scolding hot door handle from Home Alone. I couldn’t grab anything properly for a week!

I normally hate shooters, but wow...I might actually try this. Really digging the art style!

@Ooyah I’d play that!

But what about the games?

Untitled Chicken Game?
Bucket Knight?
Super White Meat Boy?
2-Piece: Poultry Warriors?
Fowlboy?

Funny how reviews can vary so much for some games; IGN gave this a 3 out of 10!

@Magrane Ever since Metroid Prime, I’m fully convinced a 1st person Megaman would work.

Just gimme a celshaded anime style FPS Megaman game. Keep the same artistic vibe. But I want to play in that world through the eyes of Megaman.

I had to look up Maverick Hunter as I had never heard of it. I would have preferred the visual style of Legends tbh.

New Megaman game? Sweet!

I’m still hoping to see a Megaman as a cell shaded FPS. Swap guns and abilities and take down huge robots.

Fingers crossed

I think I want this game very badly. I assume that crappy song was only for the trailer and won’t be in the game?

Worse comes to worst, I’ll play it on mute.

You don’t have to catch flys with chopsticks in this game, do you?

This is killing me. Can’t wait to see something. A screenshot, a clip, artwork...ANYTHING.

Le sigh...

I’ve still never played any of the Goemon games from the N64. I keep hearing they’re great. I’ve only ever played the SNES (which was awesome!)

@LEGEND_MARIOID it’s totally her. Her IMDb page even lists it. Hard to tell without face paint lol.

Do you even have any weapons?! That trailer showed zero combat or am I missing something. Not exactly the metroidvania I was hoping for.

Looked more like super meat boy or of that genre (i.e. get from room a to room b without getting killed by spikes or bad guys).

Ooooh this is great news! I really liked the first one. The boss fights were very well done!

Would it have killed them to show off some combat in the trailer? You have a katana sword but don’t even swing it once...

Oh for crying out loud...really people?

I care more for the games. I don’t need a new Switch yet.

I don’t think I could see anyone other than Verne Troyer play Megaman and unfortunately he passed away years ago.

I’m not digging the new Paper Mario battle system. Game itself looked promising until then.

Bakugan...not much else to add that hasn’t already been said already.

The best thing to come out of that video was that guy’s afro. Seriously, I think he must be Bob Ross’ lovechild.

Well I certainly wasn’t expecting an Alestorm topic ever on Nintendolife lol. Well done chaps.
