Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer?

My opinion is that this will be the first of three similar videos, with each one adding elements and story reveals. It’s a surface scratch of what this sequel will offer, not the hook or even primary difference between Tears and its predecessor.

And even saying that, the amount of creativity afforded in simply these elements is enough to incentivize hours of gameplay.

Japan's cover looks like a faulty bootleg that got jammed in the printer. Like the EU and North American covers, but my heart is with my home team and this is one of my favourite games. Killer 7 for Switch!!

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Service With GoldenEye 007

Played this a lot as a kid in the 90s, but I didn’t get an N64 until long after it had expired. As such, I’ve never had a chance to play the single player. I had to use the controller remapping tricks but once I did, I played through the first few missions and I love it. Looking forward to playing through the campaign for the first time.

Re: Nintendo's Next Switch Game Trial Has Been Announced For Online Subscribers

These online trials are an absolute joke and this is the worst one of them all. If this is the output, just don’t bother. I’m happy enough with the Mario Kart tracks and the retro console stuff (and honestly, the snail’s pace of the retro releases isn’t great either). Stop listing exclusive game trials as a “feature” of the service when AAA Clock is the kind of garbage you’re going to shart out.

Re: Rumour: Switch Pro Was Real But Got Cancelled, Claims Digital Foundry

New Nintendo should be a pure hone console with power in the current gen class. The hook should be a “seamless” connectivity with the Switch, so you can play these AAA games on the portable system many people have already invested in. I have no idea the technological hurdles inherent, but such an infrastructure could keep both sets of hardware relevant.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Worst Game That You Still Love For Some Reason?

My favourite game of all time is a forgotten Treasure title called Bangai-O Spirits for the NDS. A puzzle game wrapped in the guise of an action shooter. 100 levels played in whatever order you want. And a level create system that you could share by playing a sound out of the speakers into a friend's DS microphone. It's genius and insane.

Favourite retro title that is universally disliked is an old NES game called Dr. Chaos. That is one difficult to describe game with a lot of elements that don't really fit together... But legitimately figuring things out (there was no guide at the time) it's layered deep in weird and was a joy to discover when I was 10.
