Yes captain obvious.
There's nothing wrong with commenting on a medium people enjoy, even if it's constructive criticism or negative.
In saying that, you the nintendo life policeman?

@RainbowGazelle
People not allowed to express their opinions anymore?

Doesn't matter if your either for or against games all going digital, fact is, when they do, we'll all be paying premium prices for games, especially new ones.
Wont be any more cheaper options through big w, used copies etc.
You'll always have to wait for sales on digital only

Still the better game than totk.

Latest news; Yuji has just been terminated and is now unemployed

So, is this writer claiming they're happy to re purchase every single game he loved on switch? I mean, who wouldn't want the switch successor to be back compat?
Have we come to a day and age where we want less for our money?

Load times and the amount of them have always been a slight frustration of mine with pikmin games

I shudder at the price this will be when available...

Thankfully I kept my wiiu and have these games, but also thankful for emulation on my series x as they both play great!

After having finished the game twice, got about 115 shrines etc, I just feel this game isn't as good as everyone has made it out to be?
I loved botw and plan on playing it again, but I just found that nintendo jammed so many gimmicks in this game, travelling was a slog, the underground got repetitive, npc dialogue went on and on, and upgrading your armour and horse was a grindy boring slog as well.
Only thing I enjoyed was the main campaign missions, thats it.
Botw, I loved every aspect of it, exploration, upgrading, divine beasts, combat etc.
Suppose it's just me

Better than nothing I suppose. Tomb raider games was a surprise as I actually prefer them over the reboots. Especially number 2, was one of my fav games back in the day

A zelda ocarina remaster anyone?

I'll give this a miss thanks...

Art imitating real life...

Wow, sounds...exciting nintendo...

May be just me, but this game just does not excite me.
Still looks too similar to the previous 2d super mario bros games.
Game may surprise when finally releases, but as it is now, doesnt look that great, is it being overhyped? (to me)

When is nintendo going to allow us to buy these games?
Why are they so stingy? At least game pass gives u this option..

Must of been a tough gig for him, what with all those lines and rehearsing...

Just goes to show people are getting way less for what they are paying, (bare bones port at 30 fps) and setting the precedent for settling for less, thus benefiting money hungry corporations.
I get it, switch owners who only have that console get an opportunity to play a classic, but, it's like we can't help prostitute ourselves for some pleasure.
I too have been guilty paying premium prices for games/consoles to fill that gaming lust, but, seeing where the industry is going, we all need to start thinking hard, as we are only sending them a clear message; we are happy to pay big bucks for less quality/content.
We will have only ourselves to blame

Still can't justify 70 bucks (australia) for this. Total daylight robbery.
Will wait until physical and on sale.

I do wish I kept at least half of what I bought and owned back in the day. But the real scary thought is, if I kept everything I bought, from consoles to games (started playing from the nes era, and have had nearly every major console/handheld) it'd be the size of a mini retro videogame shop.
I shudder to think how much of my hard earned cash I spent on this hobby.
But it's also.the reason I've held onto my 360 and wiiu.
Will definitely keep my switch and series x (which i use mainly for emulation these days)

I've completed main campaign, and want to go back and fleshbgame out a little more, but don't know what it is, its like it's too much hard work sometimes.
It's a game you need to spend hours in with nothing significant happening at times, kind of exhausting?
I find botw a little more simpler and easier going back to

Thank goodness for emulation! Plays perfectly on my series x. (If nintendo released games like this and allowed us to buy, I would!)

70 bucks here in aus, that's brutal. Bought it on series x for 20 bucks....

Got game for under 20 bucks on series x so I'll stick with that.
Maybe next year if it's on sale, will buy for switch

Got it on series x, looks great, bought it second hand for 20 bucks.
Daylight robbery on switch, although ill wait till next year when it's on sale, just for the portability

Ah man, I really just want to own n64 games, not this subscription s%!t. Really stupid idea, rent the games, but also allow people to buy nintendo, like game pass.
That's why I don't bother with subscription, I'll just continue to emulate instead

Definitely a massive difference when it comes to price....

My beef is I like to own my games, not "rent"
Should be a no brainer that games like zelda oot and majoras have an option to be purchased.
As for twilight & ww, I still play them on my wiiu.
But also, thank goodness for emulation, as I get to play all these games in hi res.

As always, I never buy first iteration of a new console. As history has shown most of the time, second iteration of a console irons out most problems.
So, def no hurry for me, plus, with high cost of living, buying a new expensive console is way down my list for now

Do nintendo really intend to entice me to their subscription service by churning out old games that you'll play for 5 mins and then end up going back to pilmin 4, or zelda tears etc.
Allow us to buy some of your old classics ie n64 snes etc and I may just buy a few games here and there.
Until I'll continue to emulate their classic games

@Vertigoat

Only pikmin I ever finished was first one back on gamecube. But as for the rest same, started them then gave up after few hours.
I downloaded demo of 4, and, did the same, didn't even finish that!
I think it's one of those type of games you either invested in or not.

@MythTgr

That's the reason why I have retroarch on my series x. Get to play any gamecube games I want, and most run fantastic.
(If nintendo would release them on switch and allowed us to buy them, I gladly would!)

@PinderSchloss
Don't you dare be critical of a nintendo game or product!
That's what you'll get on websites like this anyways.
Yes, I enjoyed totk and thought it was a good game in general, but not as good as critics and the like thought.
I still prefer the simplicity of botw.
But I also hope nintendo will go back and make a zelda game in the more traditional sense ie oot, tp, ww etc.

@Switch_Pro

Your not a nintendo policeman? Got to watch out these days, as nintendo has even been striking down youtubers streaming their games legally mind you, and closing them down, cutting off their incomes.
If it makes you feel better, when it comes to new titles, I buy them, but when it comes to games you can no longer buy, I emulate. I'm not "stealing" nothing, and I feel fine in my conscience doing so. I'm the type, I won't even steal a pen from work I feel guilty. Not when it comes to retro games you can't buy!
Is the real issue maybe you are jealous because you don't have access to emulators? A series x?
Heck, most of the nintendo life staff probably use emulation.

@Switch_Pro
Pirating? Would be if the said games were on sale. Plus, all the games I emulate, I own them on wiiu (n64, snes, gba etc eshop) so I've bought and paid for them all (actually, bought same games multiple times over the years)
So, for me, I have no problem. If nintendo allowed us to buy their games on switch, I would!
But their loss! I'll continue to emulate all of nintendos classics.
You should see how good diddy king racing runs on series x. Not to mention gamecube games.
I do it all on dev mode, so, inpaid for this service.
Thanks Microsoft!

Still not worth it for me. If nintendo started selling some of their nso games, then we're talking.
Until then, ill keep playing them on my series x retroarch

Umm, it's political agendas and diversity quotas like this that is destroying the movie and games industry.
What has gender got to do with making quality games/movies?
Shouldn't they instead focus on people who are most qualified and passionate about making games rather than ticking the diversity boxes?

I can play all of these on my series x retroarch!
And most of them run and play great.
I would of been happy buying these on my switch if nintendo let us....

I suppose nintendo.did the dirty on sony all those years ago over that combined console idea and Sony still has some bitter blood towards them

One thing that excites me about switch version is, in the trailer, it looks like asylum and city are the original versions of the game, not the remasters.
I have arkham remastered on my series x, and got to say, for me, they are ugly ports. Hate the way batman looks in asylum, the 45 fps is a real put off, and cities framerate isn't great.
If they can get both original version of games running at 30 fps on switch, ill be very happy.
As for knight, that's another story

Thats ok, just make sure to clear out all your other games on the tiny memory so all you have is the arkham trilogy!

Nintendo can shove it with this, 40 bucks over here in aus

Nintendo can shove it with this one, 40 bucks here in aus!

I'm more excited for mario RPG. Don't feel excited for wonder, looks average, to me anyways.
Final release could surprise and be a killer game, that's always a possibility.
But I'm finding there's too much hype with major nintendo titles as of late, and that can affect scores and sales.
Finished totk and thought it was a good game, but not as some reviews suggested.
I still prefer botw and it's simplicity over totk

Have completed the main campaign, and thats it for me. Loved the first 20 to 30 hours, but then, something started to set in for me. I loved the depths at first, but then realised, they became very repetitive, and I would only visit to get autobuild and to farm for puff shrooms and the like.
Sky Islands were a let down for me, apart from the main central hub/island.
Hyrule was good and varied enough, but with all the vehicle building and ways of getting about, I didn't bother exploring like I did in botw.
Highlights for me were the dungeons, thought they were great.
But overall, I dont have the desire to go back and play anymore, as a matter of fact, I started up botw again, and just enjoying the simplicity of it.
I'm never one to complain about extra content, but personally, I felt totk became too convoluted with all the extra systems and the like.
That's me anyways
