@Chlocean Haha, I've not played Death Stranding but my son has. The first thing he said when we watched the multiplayer segment of this Direct was how it seemed just like Death Stranding. His comment was lost on me but just shown him your comment here and he laughed in acknowledgement.

@bluemage1989 Oh, ok. So for your Metroidvania itch, I guess you just stick to either Metroid or Castlevania? Just stick to Pong when you fancy a tennis game eh?

Loved the original on Megadrive but could never finish the first sequel, Fade to Black on PC due to inadvertently creating a game-save loop during a timed section making it impossible for me to complete before the timer ran out. Not being computer savvy back then, my only option it seemed was to start the game from scratch. I didn't bother and have never played it since. This new sequel seems to be shaping up very well. Hope it turns out good 🤞

@Emacster So very wrong on so many levels. If you allowed yourself to get past that stigma of the Wii being for the non-gaming community, you would find that it is truly an amazing console with a fantastic range of games. A mate of mine had the exact same feelings towards the Wii too. He's a massive gamer, has been since the good old Speccy & C64 days, but completely ruled out the Wii. I tried to educate him but to no avail - he just was not interested in the slightest. As they say though, each to their own. If we all liked the same things, it would be very boring world.

Without doubt, the Wii is one of the finest consoles I've ever had and one I still own. It's still sat proudly amongst my Switch, PS2 & PS3 on the main TV. In fact, I only just re-completed Super Mario Galaxy 2 last night having initially played it back in 2011. A great console where I still have fun times.

@raygboyd333 What, so you can sneak away and leave them to it 😜

Yep, my most anticipated game along with The Last Guardian for PS3.

Wow, the first time I've actually been very excited for a new Sonic game since Sonic & Knuckles was released way back when for the Sega Megadrive. Love the art style and it seems to be using the same control/feel of the classic games - a perfect blend. 4 player co-op could be a tad chaotic though. Also, anyone else getting Sega's answer to the NSMB games vibes from this?

As an owner of current, and past, Nintendo consoles & handhelds, and have legitimately bought many games for these (currently have 70+ physical Switch games), I feel that I have suitably (and loyally) lined Nintendo's pockets over the years. As such, I do not see an issue with regard to downloading ROMs for the older consoles for games no longer available at retail. I have done this for many a game having now modded my Wii so that I can indulge myself in Nintendo's great back catalogue. I have not paid a penny and yet despite my loyalty as previously mentioned, I would be deemed a 'right wrong un' for indulging in this gray area of an activity. Yet, for the second hand games I've bought too from eBay, CeX etc, I've lined a second hand seller's pockets, resold a few to line my own pockets, and yet this is never called into question/debate.

Hey listen! We already have a LoZ live action movie... Legend!! Ok, not quite I know but Tom Cruise's Jack, Tim Curry's Darkness and Mia Sara's Princess Lili are pretty much Link, Ganondorf & Princess Zelda in all but name. It's the best closest we have and as much as I love the LoZ series, I am more than content for it to stay this way.

A very sore point this as it is now the only LoZ Amiibo I don't have. I originally preordered from Shopto for £19.99, then cancelled once preorder became available from Nintendo Store at £12.99 so placed order. In the meantime I had a new bank card issued so changed my card details on my Nintendo Store account. Not having a warm and fuzzy feeling, I opened a chat with a Nintendo Store agent to discuss if my preorder was ok. I was informed that I would need to cancel as they couldn't amend payment details. This wouldn't have been a problem except this Amiibo was now sold out. I didn't cancel my preorder but changed my payment details on my account back to my previous card as it wasn't due to expire until 14th May and I could still continue to use it providing I didn't start using my new card. 12th May finally arrived, I checked my order status whilst at work and noticed on my payment details of my preorder that my card expiry date had changed to 01/01. Thought I would wait until my break to contact Nintendo, however it was all too late. I received a dreaded email telling me that my order had been successfully cancelled. Absolutely gutted and annoyed that Nintendo Store UK couldn't do anything at all in this technological age.

Yes!!! Completed my final Zelda game in the series last night - Four Swords Adventure (really, really enjoyed it). Now ready for when my copy of TotK arrives tomorrow. 'Looks at monumental backlog and sees BotW' - Goddamnit!!! Why oh why have I not yet started this, and LoZ is my favourite game series too???

@Zach777 Yeah, I once hung out with him - he was a real Colin Robinson kind of guy, just drained the life out of me.

My lad had a few of the kits, but they ended up tucked away gathering dust in his bedroom for a couple of years untouched. Very carefully, I eventually dismantled them piece by piece (not a straight forward task tbh), boxed it all back up and donated at my local charity shop. It was a cool concept and worked really well as advertised, but at the end of the day, like anything that is a novelty, it was just a gimmick that came with that pure Nintendo charm. I would say the biggest gripe was that for any other household members wanting to use this from their respective profiles, you had no choice but to go through every single screen of the build process before getting to playing it. Why Nintendo didn't include a skip option I have no clue.

Punch-Out would be cool.

No way, not needed. I immerse my so much playing a LoZ game that I feel like the supporting NPCs are talking directly to me. This would be lost if he were to be given a voice. Plus, whatever voice he was to be given it would never be right. Last thing I want is for Link to sound like another Jak or Ratchet (not a criticism btw, their voices suit their characters). Also, going live action should be a no no. Whoever was to be picked wouldn't be the right person for the job - back the fudge away Tom Holland.

Where can Mario go now after the monumental Odyssey? For me, I would welcome a massive open world sandbox style game. Imagine a GTA style game whereby you can deviate from the main story to partake in some Karting, a spot of golf, or maybe prescribing some meds.

And about ruddy time too! Long overdue in my opinion. Where do I preorder please?

@sikthvash Same, just purchased at 12.25pm with no bother at all. My collection will now be complete.

That's lovely and all that... but what about the UK preorder for the TotK amiibo??

Tis a shame really. I was looking forward to this game the same way I was looking forward to Balan Wonderworld. Just like that game, I won't be getting this either 😑

@NintendoByNature I would really love for a sequel to Mario Odyssey just as much as the next person, but looking back at the Mario's main line releases (not including NSMB) over the previous generations, this single release is the relative norm - NES: 3 SNES: 1 (sorry but Yoshi's Island is not really a traditional Mario game), N64: 1, GC: 1, Wii: 2, WiiU: 1 & Switch: 1.
I think we have to accept the fact we ain't getting another one this generation 😑

"Gonna need a bigger rupee bag"... more like a remortgage!

With Miyamoto’s tight leash to keep Illumination reigned in (in part no doubt due to the travesty of the abysmal live action attempt), I have to say that thus far this adaptation is giving me very high "wahoo" vibes. I truly believe that this Mario movie is going to be THE defining video game movie for the ages. Roll on April, it'll be a peach of a time.

If I was a kid again, the DK one would be taking pride and place on my bedroom wall. One of the best movie posters I've seen in a long time. Can we wish for a DK spin-off movie 🤞

The first LoZ game I played was PH. For some reason I named him McHero. Ever since then I've played through the older games and all that came after and I've gone with PDan, a variation of my own name. For some reason, I've never used Link.

I started Four Swords Adventure a few months ago for the first time. Quite a tricky one to play solo (I certainly ain't buying 3 GBAs for the family to join in, family co-op bridges have been well and truly burned by Overcooked). I've only been playing in-between games as it isn't a game you can dip into for 20 mins or so here and there as each level can take an hour plus to complete with no mid level save points. Very different and charming though.

@Duncanballs The 100 prior games would be just as welcome too 😁

Do developers not employ game testers anymore?

@Maxz Well played, you made me chuckle 😁

Hmmm... I could have sworn that back in the day I was good enough at the Sonic 2 special stages that I could achieve Super Sonic by the time I reached the first boss fight, and then had this ability for the rest of the game. Definitely never had it for the last boss though.

@Gamer83 Fair enough, thanks for the response.

@Gamer83 Each to their own and all that, but why the shell do you need four versions of the same game?!?

The LoZ is a phenomenal series. Any of the main line games from TLoZ to Breath of the Wild (except Zelda 2) are an absolute delight to play from start to finish and all have bags of charm and personality. The problem I have with Zeldalikes, like this, is that yes they do look very good, but straight away I am unfairly comparing them to LoZ and I struggle to get over this, 😞especially as I know that there are some highly regarded Zeldalikes out there.

How is it that I'm more looking forward to the Sonic 3 movie than this?

A towering lonely Colossus in a sparse open world, would Shadow not have been a been a better protagonist!?!

Do we know yet if S3 and S&K will be separate games, or will we at long last be getting the definitive full game of S3K?

Been a gamer for just over 30 years now. Never have I heard anyone generically refer to a non-Nintendo console as a Nintendo.

The Leg End of Me: A Deep Breath and a Sigh

Amazing, thank you Nintendo for this, I can now sync my Joy-Con's to work with my Atari 2600. More collaborative updates like this please.

@Wilforce I'm sure this public service announcement followed me home the other day.

@dojmin In what way? If it weren't for the likes of LRG, Super Rare etc, the games they release would only ever be available as digital purchases. Granted, LRG did cock up big time with Streets of Rage 4, but at least they acknowledged this blunder, owned it and did apologise.

This definitely looks all kinds of fun. Loving the look and keeping my fingers crossed it reviews well.

This is looking very good indeed. In terms of the art style, it reminds me of the excellent PS3 game Puppeteer, but in 3D. Hope it plays as good as it looks.

Pre ordered the Loftwing Amiibo from Nintendo UK early last month using Google Pay. Yesterday I received a notification from Google Pay confirming my payment to Nintendo UK had been declined. I don't think I'm getting this Amiibo anymore which sucks. Anyone else here experienced this?

Without doubt Treasure made one of the best platformer games ever and can't believe it didn't even get at least a honourable mention in this article. The game I am referring to, Dynamite Headdy. I played this gem of a game too much back during my Megadrive days. It's just an absolute pure joy from start to finish. I really wish Treasure turned it into a franchise. But I guess it came out a little too late in the generation and as such it never received the adulation it so deserved.

Love this game. It's definitely up there with the best LoZ games in my opinion. I just can't imagine playing it any other way than with the Wii remote and nunchuck setup.

@nessisonett Err, coming from God's own country of Yorkshire, I can definitely say that I have a genuine British accent.

SMB The Movie is nothing short of a masterpiece...when compared to MK Annulation.

@Gerald Same boat mate. I can easily pick up Sonic 2 and play it to completion as though it was yesterday. However, back in the day when I got proper gud, I would ensure that I had collected every Chaos Emerald before completing Emerald Hill Zone. Doing it now though, I just give up with the idea and complete the game without them. To be honest, I now find Sonic's special stages too tedious to bother with.
