@NEStalgia I agree with you. AC:NH is a barren sandbox with nothing to do except customize things and it's a real shame since I've played and loved every mainline Animal Crossing game. AC:NH is the first time I can say the franchise fell backwards instead of moving forward.
@VoidofLight Nah this game isn't even focused on multiplayer. New Leaf was focused on multiplayer, with Streetpass and Tortimer's Island (and free online play) there are way more social activities.
This game has ruined so many senses of humor. Can't say certain words without people shrieking about Among Us in response to you and I can never tell if it's done ironically or not.
Zelda II: Adventure of Link is the only game in the Zelda franchise that I'd call an RPG. It's also weird to say character upgrades make the game an RPG. You can collect health and missile upgrades in Metroid as well as new abilities for Samus but because of those features I wouldn't say Metroid games are RPGs. Upgrades like that aren't like level ups in RPGs.
I've wanted Nintendo LEGO sets for the longest time and I was disappointed with the Mario sets. If Nintendo and LEGO ever make official Zelda sets hopefully they are more like the ones we see here.
@FragRed Verification shouldn't be something people get when they "deserve" it. It should or is there to let you know that person/group/company is the official one. Everyone of some sort of notary or fame should have the check mark so no one is confused by fake accounts.
A good read! Reminds me of how I'd play games as a kid, mostly exploring the in-game world and making my own objectives rather than completing the main goals.
@KateGray The bunny is the mascot of Energizer batteries. Never occurred to me that Link had that resemblance and now I probably won't ever not think of it...
@pixelpatch To me it looks like a lot of the artwork and programing is already done, but I could see the funds running out especially with things like voice acting.
The story and graphics were great in this game! I don't get why people complained so much about the motion controls, I liked them. The issue with this game is the lack of exploration, repeated battles with The Imprisoned and the sky portion is boring. More cities would have made it cooler.
@ModdedInkling But they have Super Mario All Stars on the SNES NSO program and they have all the games included in Super Mario All Stars on the NES NSO program as separate games. I don't think Nintendo cares if they have different versions of the same games on Switch.
Neat trick! One thing I've always wanted on the 3DS virtual console was to play Gameboy games in color but you only had the option of playing in black & white or green.
@mariomaster96 I guess not, and this isn't a small thing like with the fan made render of Mario they used on the website, these are sculptures. I do wonder if they'll remove the cacti at some point.
@FragRed I might be reading too much into it but the purple and green hearts they used in their post makes me think it'll be another Yooka Laylee game.
That's weird they did this over costs. I have heard YouTube has a massive annual deficit but they keep that running. They might have turned a profit with these studios which they can't seem to do with YouTube.

Re: Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons Gets Physical Release
@Kimyonaakuma The artwork on the cards aren't even good looking. New, hand drawn artwork would have been vastly superior.

Re: Gamescom Returns This August In New Hybrid Format - Expect Announcements, News And "Surprises"
Well I guess that's something to look forward too, not much going on in the gaming world right now.
Re: Sony And RTS Jointly Acquire Fighting Game Tournament EVO, Nintendo Responds
@nessisonett Oof
Those poor children...
Re: Soapbox: Life Is Strange Belongs On Switch. So Why Isn't It?
Graphically, the sequel looks good but the concept seems generic.
Re: Among Us Airship Map Finally Gets A Release Date
@Clyde_Radcliffe "sus" "vent" "imposter" "task" it's just basic words and phrases that set them off like that.
@justpizza Excellent example!
Re: Capcom Switch And 3DS Sale Discounts Monster Hunter, Mega Man, Resident Evil And More (North America)
@Ryu_Niiyama Possibly. Capcom does a lot of sales though.

Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Hosting Purple Powered Spirit Board Event This Week
@Screen My favorite villain of the Mario & Luigi RPGs.
Re: Get Ready For Zelda: Skyward Sword HD's "Smoother And More Intuitive" Controls
@johnvboy I think you got an award of some sort when you juggled the can long enough. It was long ago so I don't really remember what it was...
Re: Nintendo Hypes Zelda: Skyward Sword HD's "Smoother And More Intuitive" Controls
I never thought the controls for this game were bad. Fi's redundant low battery and low health reminders were far worse than the controls.
Re: Japan's Super Nintendo World Has A Mysterious, Locked Donkey Kong Door
The Kong's banana hoard is beyond that door!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #78 - Super Mario RPG
North America wins this one, the castle in the back looks nicer than the plain white background.
Re: Feature: Zelda: Majora's Mask Is A Testament To What Nintendo Is Capable Of When It Gets Weird
Possibly my favorite Zelda game. No other in the series is like it!
Re: Random: This Animal Crossing Screenshot "Probably" Has Nothing To Do With The Rumoured 4K Switch
@DAHstroy In JPEG format too no less.
Re: Sakurai Explains Why Xenoblade's Rex Isn't A Smash Ultimate DLC Fighter
I think Rex as currently represented in the game is good enough.
Re: Random: Zelda Fan Builds Temple Of Time Entirely Out Of LEGO
I've wanted Nintendo LEGO sets for the longest time and I was disappointed with the Mario sets. If Nintendo and LEGO ever make official Zelda sets hopefully they are more like the ones we see here.

Re: Video: Check Out This Side-By-Side Comparison Of Crash Bandicoot 4 On Switch And PS4 Pro
Wow I thought the differences would be far more drastic! Seems like it's just lighting and a slightly lower polygon count on the Switch.
Re: The Third Major Update For Hypercharge: Unboxed Is Now Live
@D_Cybercherries I wasn't aware this had a demo, thanks for the info, I'll give it a shot!
Re: The Third Major Update For Hypercharge: Unboxed Is Now Live
I don't think I've heard of this game until now but it looks awesome!
Edit: Wait, maybe the YouTuber Pan Pizza (aka Rebel Taxi) mentioned it before.
Re: Inti Creates Is Bringing Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 To Switch In 2022
I just hope they give GV the ability to aim, having to jump and shoot gets tiresome, especially when you're trying to go for a perfect run.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Adds Monster Hunter And Ghosts 'N Goblins Mii Fighter Costumes
@MS7000 I think they would have stopped to mention that bit in the reveal so I don't think the costume comes with the music.
Re: Feature: A Link To The Past's Dark World Changed Zelda Forever
A good read! Reminds me of how I'd play games as a kid, mostly exploring the in-game world and making my own objectives rather than completing the main goals.

Re: Anniversary: Can You Believe It? The Nintendo 3DS Is Now 10 Years Old
I still use mine regularly.
Re: Rare's Cancelled N64 Project Dinosaur Planet Originally Starred The "Cute Tiger" From Diddy Kong Racing
@Strumpan Rare made a game called Sabre Wulf for the Game Boy Advance in 2004.
@Gauchorino So Timber has been ditched twice now in favor of more famous characters like Fox McCloud and Diddy Kong. Kinda sad for Timber...
Re: Rare's Cancelled N64 Project Dinosaur Planet Originally Starred The "Cute Tiger" From Diddy Kong Racing
Has Timber been in other games aside from Diddy Kong Racing or would Dinosaur Planet have been his first solo game?
Re: We Might See A Female Slayer In A Future DOOM Game
I'd think it'd be cool if they added a female character so there could be a two player story mode.
Re: "Cute And Creepy" Storybook Adventure Beacon Pines Smashes Switch Kickstarter Goal
@pixelpatch To me it looks like a lot of the artwork and programing is already done, but I could see the funds running out especially with things like voice acting.
Re: Two Of Capcom's Legendary Street Fighters Drop Into Fortnite
It looks like different people are cosplaying as Ryu and Chun Li. They don't look right.
Re: Get A Stack Of Extra Goodies In Blizzard's 30th Anniversary Celebration Collection
Question is, will people without phones be able to get this?
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Skyward Sword Is Good, Actually
The story and graphics were great in this game! I don't get why people complained so much about the motion controls, I liked them. The issue with this game is the lack of exploration, repeated battles with The Imprisoned and the sky portion is boring. More cities would have made it cooler.
Re: Zelda Remake Specialist Grezzo Is Hiring For A New "Medieval" And "Stylish" Project
@ModdedInkling I suppose you do have a point there.
Re: Zelda Remake Specialist Grezzo Is Hiring For A New "Medieval" And "Stylish" Project
@ModdedInkling But they have Super Mario All Stars on the SNES NSO program and they have all the games included in Super Mario All Stars on the NES NSO program as separate games. I don't think Nintendo cares if they have different versions of the same games on Switch.
Re: Zelda Remake Specialist Grezzo Is Hiring For A New "Medieval" And "Stylish" Project
I wonder if it'll be another Zelda remaster. Either NES Zelda would be awesome.
Re: Charles Martinet Would Love To Voice Mario In Upcoming Illumination Movie
@Smashmatt202 If it's not going to be Charles, it has to be Walker. Anyone else will be awful.
Re: Mini Review: NUTS - A Relaxing But Repetitive Way To Spend A Few Hours
"Furry found footage" sounds like one of the worst kinds of found footage.
Re: Video: 11 Great 3DS Games Overshadowed By The Nintendo Switch
@Anti-Matter the Dillon franchise is fantastic! More people need to play those games for sure.
Re: Video: How Pokémon Snap Replaced Its Blockbuster Collaboration On Wii & Wii U

Re: Random: Zelda x Beavis And Butt-Head Is A Mash-Up That Works Better Than You'd Think
Anyone else see Beavis in the mirror's reflection? He appears at the 46 second mark.
Re: Hazelight Studios Has No Plans For It Takes Two On Switch, Director Unsure If It's Even Possible
Even if they did get this game to work on Switch it probably wouldn't work well.
Re: Nintendo Registers New Trademark For The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
The first Zelda game I owned, it gets a lot of flak but I still love it!
Re: Random: Oops, Super Nintendo World's Cactus Seems To Be Lifted From A Fan-Made Game

Re: Video: Story Of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town Gameplay Features Trailer
First time I've looked into this game. Looks promising but I'ma wait for some reviews.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Developer Playtonic Games Teases New Reveal Coming "Soon"
@FragRed I might be reading too much into it but the purple and green hearts they used in their post makes me think it'll be another Yooka Laylee game.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #77 - Super Mario 64 DS
Europe & North America is better, too much empty space on the Japanese cover.
Re: Sonic Writer Talks About His Love-Hate Relationship With The Fandom
Surprised he said this, these people probably know he's talking about them and they'll probably feel alienated now.
Re: Cloud Gaming Service Google Stadia Shuts Down Internal Development Studios
