@Dakt Exactly this. Virtually every bit of disappointment with this direct has to do with people feeding the rumor mill and setting themselves up for disappointment in the process. I was actually sorta pleased with the Direct because I had no expectations.
I don't mind the co-op bit as much because I ride solo with my games lately. With that said, Amazon had this at a $20 discount so I caved in and ordered it. It's on the way now and I can only hope by this time that it's been patched more?
Even if not, that's okay because I still enjoyed the Wii U iteration when I was borrowing it.
I was hoping, and doubting, that there would be any kind of demo. This was unexpected, and though I work during weekends I'll definitely be on this when I'm able to get on!
I've played both and though I've spent more time on Zelda I completely agree with Sakurai. Zelda is great, but so is Horizon. Both games bring the goods.
I finally got a Switch yesterday! But since I'm sending it in for repairs due to nonstop error codes, I'll hold off on MK8 and Puyo Puyo Tetris for now. I may go for Use Your Words though after seeing the Cinemassacre guys play it 😂
Not sure where the series will go from here, but Nintendo set the bar high for themselves with Breath of the Wild. I would welcome a traditional game again but at the same time, I hope they stick to open world. I'm 106 hours in with all main quests and shrines cleared, yet I still wanna keep playing. It's just that good.
Nothing for me this time. Whenever my power gets restored Ive got plenty of Zelda to finish up on, though I may eventually have to cave in for Bomberman 64.
Without playing Master Reboot, I wasn't too impressed with the Soul Axiom demo that I played. It had an awful frame rate. With that said it showed a lot of potential and I can only hope the quality has improved since. If so, I'll take advantage of the extra discount.
Wondering if Mighty No. 9 is worth the $16? I know it got mediocre reviews but I've always enjoyed the Mega Man games and I've wanted to give it a shot.
Oh come on guys, the music can't be THAT bad. I mean (clicks Play) I've heard legitimately worse music and--OH NO WHAT WERE THEY THINKING, THIS IS NOISE MAKE IT STOP
The moment I read he had passed away, I was devastated. The effects of his passing are still very much felt today. And the nod to him in Star Fox Zero's credits still give me tears. One of a kind. Iwata, you're still very well missed.
Some of my brightest childhood memories involved my Genesis and the original Sonic games. Sonic 3 and Knuckles is one of my favorite games of all-time!
The 3D Sonic games were never given the best of reception but I enjoy Sonic Adventure still. And I admit... I kinda liked the Wii iteration of Sonic Unleashed. shrugs
I'm just looking forward to a future where a new Sonic game hits all the right notes again, like Generations mostly succeeded in doing.
Rayman Legends is great, but disappointing that it's on sale for about $8 more than when it was on sale around Thanksgiving. Still, a great game by all means.
Zero Mission, definitely. Does anyone know what the actual discount price for Sonic All-Stars Racing is? I saw it used yesterday but passed it up. Curious to know.

Looks surprisingly fun! Count me in!

Re: Sony Thinks You'll Buy A PlayStation 4 Alongside Your Nintendo Switch
They're definitely not wrong. I own both and it'll likely stay that way for a long time.
Re: Hori's Nintendo Switch Voice Chat Headset Looks Like A Wired Nightmare
@YeshaYahu5417 Yeah I was thinking the same thing! In docked mode that's gonna be an uncomfortable mess.
Re: Hori's Nintendo Switch Voice Chat Headset Looks Like A Wired Nightmare
I think I'm one of the only gamers in the world that doesn't really do voice chat in game anyway, so I'm not gonna make a fuss of this.
As for everyone else... You have my condolences.
Re: Sonic Mania Release Date and Pricing Confirmed With Awesome Trailer
Can't wait to get my Collector's Edition! I'm glad I was able to take advantage of the Prime discount.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th May (North America)
I want Ultra Street Fighter II, but not enough to Shell out $40, so I'm good for this week.
Re: Review: Disgaea 5 Complete (Switch)
I tried like heck to get into the demo, but I guess it's just not my type of game. I did enjoy the visuals though!

Re: Deals: Splash Your Rupees On This Amazing Legend Of Zelda Merchandise
I'd love to get the BotW amiibo of Princess Zelda if it wasn't over double the price.
Though I do want Hyrule Historia.

@PlywoodStick Thanks, you've talked me out of it 😂
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd September (North America)
No Pokémon Snap still?
Sigh Oh Nintendo, you make it too hard for me to give you money...
Re: Review: LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Wii U)
I might hold off on this a bit longer until I get my PS4

@998613game Regardless of everything mentioned here, I've always had respect for you and every other Wii U developer.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th August (North America)
We could have got Pokémon Snap, but NoA is all like "Nah man, you need another version of Super Mario 64."

Oh come on guys, the music can't be THAT bad. I mean (clicks Play) I've heard legitimately worse music and--OH NO WHAT WERE THEY THINKING, THIS IS NOISE MAKE IT STOP
Re: Online Support is Being Cut For Disney Infinity
Ah, so this could explain why Walmart had the 3.0 starter kit marked down to $20 when I went there yesterday.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th July (North America)
Epic Yarn! So happy to see it arriving on the eShop. I own the disc but I strongly recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it yet.
I'll settle for Mass Attack.

Glad to see Japan is loving Shovel Knight

But yeah, Cheers Sonic!
Re: Review: The LEGO Movie Videogame (Wii U)
Was at Wal-Mart yesterday, and I was either buying this for $15, or Mighty No. 9 for $30. Super late to the party but I've made the right choice!
Re: Mega Man Legacy Collection Among Discounts in Capcom's North American eShop Spring Sale
I might get Monster Hunter on Wii U finally. Always kinda sucked at the demo but I could force myself to get better
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th May (North America)
I'll only get Sonic Boom if it's free!
Seriously though I'll just get StarTropics 1 & 2
Re: Random: Store Shelves Appear To Be Filling With Pre-Owned Copies Of Star Fox Zero
I wish there was an option saying "No, I've still got the game and I don't plan on getting rid of it."
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th May (North America)
Still earning medals in Star Fox Zero so I'm good for this week.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th April (North America)
Since I'm broke this week, Mini Mario and Lost Reavers.

Re: Review: Minecraft: Story Mode - Episode 1: The Order of the Stone (Wii U eShop)
From the sounds of it I'd much rather just invest in the Wii U edition of Minecraft.
Re: Another 17 Games Get North American eShop Discounts in the Winter Warm-Up Sale
Rayman Legends is great, but disappointing that it's on sale for about $8 more than when it was on sale around Thanksgiving. Still, a great game by all means.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th January (North America)
@Xenocity Quite a few, actually.

Re: Nintendo Download: 31st December (North America)
1080! Have it on Wii VC but I like it enough that I just might upgrade
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th December (North America)
I own the disc for Super Mario Galaxy, so nothing new this week. Getting Xenoblade and Minecraft tomorrow though! Hope you all have a happy holiday!
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th December (North America)
Minecraft. That is all.
