I want this franchise back on my switch more than any other!
So many memories of co-op of Battletoads in Battlemaniacs on the SNES with my cousin. Took me around 10 years to work out what the different was between the two different co-op modes, after many many friendly deaths!
Was an absolute beast of a game for a 5 year old me to attempt, and I was probably better age 5 than I am age 27.
I think we will get a top down zelda next, and I would personally love for a sprite artstyle to return. I feel Nintendo relies too much on 3D models in 2d games. Looked fantastic in 2006 with New Super Mario Bros... but now I think a return (even if temporary) to the animated style of old is well overdue - an artstyle in my opinion makes a game memorable as much as the gameplay!
In terms of the 'mainline' zelda games, I.e the 3D ones, I would love a tighter, smaller more concentrated adventure, akin to Majoras mask. Essentially, rather than try to out do such an amazing game as breath of the wild by making it more open world with more shrines and even more (god help us) korok seeds, make a tight game focussed on all of the characters of your world, where every single person has a point and isn't just filling the background.
I have one major worry with this. They better implement a second save for the hard mode this summer! It would be an absolute pain to set up a user account for hard mode
I am upset that there has been none of the three Tomorrow Corporation games today, or Binding of Isaac. They would really hep keep the momentum of the eshop going, like in the US
@KIRO completely agree... it is more something I am considering to play with my daughter and partner. Though our daughter is 7 months so may have to wait a couple years...
@th3r3ds0x same! I was genuinely considering full digital for the ease of all games on the go always... but then I'm tied to eshop prices and no pretty box... no confirmation of account system just yet either :/ but mega excited for 3/3/17
I think this is all a case of 'wait and see'. Hopefully when the switch has a great first year, they will all jump onboard and release as it is a credible form of income.
Am I the only one who would love the Chronicles series to return? Absolutely loved coop with that, and you could do it quite well on the go with the new JoyCons
I have to say, the last two full non game specific Nintendo directs have been two of the best I can remember. They highlight all of the highs so well it almost makes me think we are in one of the peak Nintendo gaming years. Depending on when NX comes out we could be. I really think the HD remaster treatment needs to hit the Mario series soon. And continue the zelda remaster treatment with skyward sword in the next 3 years purely so I can finish it without having to waggle my wrist to the point of spraining it
I worry that nintendo is making the exact same mistake they made with the Wii Virtual Console/ WiiWare and not making releases consistant enough that it will eventually fizzle out and become forgotten

@Anti-Matter I had heard the height of blu ray box if that helps?
Re: Gorgeous Nintendo Switch Game Boxes Get Shown Off in Japanese Stores
They are stunning! Was tempted to go digital this time, but despite the convenience it would provide, I am slowly going back to walking the true path!

I guess it will be a case of 'All of WiiU'

Not to be really maths geeky and picky... but $19.99 to $29.99 is an increase of 50% not 33%
