It would make no sense to re release one Galaxy and not the other, that one screams to be part of a double remaster pack

Skyward Sword will happen at some point, but I'm more interested in a Prime Trilogy HD remaster with traditional and motion controls

Just replayed it again over the Christmas weekend. Still a charming game above all else, it always has a special magic for me no matter how old I get

"grind" is not something I want to hear in reference to many things,Smash included

Generic Spokesperson #43 somehow doesn't really seem as trustworthy as Aonuma himself hinting at it. Saying "the dream's over" cuz of some generic PR statement is funny, cuz it's about as reliable as the forum "leaks" from people who swear they know when the next direct is

@Euler I would disagree. I imagine making 3D models of all those characters that can be rotated and such is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more annoying than just writing a description for a character.jpg picture.

Your details about World of Light are hyping me up. I'm glad each fight is unique enough that the different modifiers should make rescuing each character really interesting. Can't wait to play through the whole map

Shame on nintendo as a whole for this. They clearly knew what kind of man he was and tried to sweep all incidents under the rug. They deserve the bad pr for that.

And? Not like it was a live action game, no one would even know that was him aside from maybe the biggest of the biggest Detroit fans lol

Remember the game awards where he wore a Metroid pin and everyone thought the exact same thing back then?

The only thing I dislike about this is the fact that people completely misunderstood the naming scheme.

Toadette into Peach = Peachette

Bowser into Peach =/= Bowsette

Bowser into Peach SHOULD BE = Peacher

He's 100% right about Zelda. I hope sentiments like his start becoming louder so the next Zelda is actually improved instead of more of the same

I never enjoyed it. I didn't hate it, but it was about as exciting or engrossing as walking through any virtual house. Maybe the fact that I've lived through her pretty mundane life has an effect, but it wasn't anymore interesting than a random youtuber's story to me.

Lol of course there's people making up conspiracy theories. Can't have an announcement of a good game, gotta turn it into an idiotic "people are meaaaaan to nintendoooooo" nonsense. As if somehow the PS4 getting a remaster means that everyone must be conspiring against nintendo, obviously.

Just a story mode now. They already fixed the issue I had with Classic mode, so all that's left is something akin to SE and it really will be the ultimate version of Smash for me.

Though I will always miss character-specific Break the Targets

Really hoping it's just an unfortunate coincidence. The only way for this meme to go away is if Nintendo doesn't say a word about it, good or bad.

It means their roms will be uploaded on some other rom site. They didn't change a single thing, except of course for the people hosting the site.

After this, I think the next game needs to do something significantly different in order to top "all playable characters". one cool idea I've heard is being able to pick multiple characters that you can swap out on the fly during a fight

I'm honestly surprised it took this long. More options is never a bad thing, and I'm sure there are plenty of people that would appreciate this choice for other games

I can definitely say it feels half finished. Which is hilarious cuz Ultra Smash managed to have even less content. US feels like an proof of concept demo and Aces just feels like they took that concept, started making a decent game, but then stopped about 70% through

It's essentially what I expected. Kinda shady, but eh, people were choosing some dumb ones, too

Hopefully Nintendo adds an official way to play old games because if not this is definitely what I'll be doing once I hack my Switch at the end of its life

I like these articles because comments are either mad at the developer for saying "No Switch version planned" with no explanation or they're mad at the developers for being honest and even detailing exactly why they can't port it right now. Then suddenly the whining switches to "Well you guys are just lying, obviously porting is super easy and I know exactly how it works".

These devs really can't win

@NEStalgia Completely agree. They had all that time and still they had to fill it up with stuff like Olimar's helmet cracking now. Woopee.

It frustrates me more than anything how much Sakurai went from detesting the melee-type fans and working against them to slowly inching his way back to Melee. Brawl was pretty much perfect for most people. Sure it had its quirks and annoyances but it truly felt like a game designed to be fun first and foremost.

Then 4 came and suddenly everything had to be faster to appeal to the more competitive nature of Melee, and now Ultimate is here and they spent the first ten minutes bragging about how now everything is even faster, and, what a coincidence, some melee moves came back too.

It's frustrating to me mostly because it seems more like Nintendo pandering instead of Nintendo thinking "how can we honestly make the franchise more fun"

@NEStalgia I honestly think the majority of Smash buyers would want/enjoy a new story mode like subspace, but the ones being loudest about how now you do .2% more damage from a side attack with a specific character are the only ones we see. I have no doubt most people would prefer a Brawl approach to game modes

Woulda been cool if the reward was the actual empty box shipped with that cover, but I guess I should stop hoping Nintendo puts anything worthwhile on there

The lighting is the first thing I noticed. It's so gorgeous compared to the Wii U game

Is that even an "oops" kind of mistake? Just seems inconsequential enough that they shouldn't even care if people see or not.

They made a good move showing it when they did, lest the internet throw another hissy fit if they only showed Samus Returns last year. I didn't expect it to show up this year and am confident they're taking much needed time

The most concerning thing I see from Nintendo fans whenever voice chat comes up is "I don't like and use it so Nintendo should never implement it"

It's selfish, arrogant, and actively makes Nintendo worse as a company if people keep campaigning against them coming into the modern era. They sure don't mind picking up all the worst pieces of modern gaming like season passes and patches, they should also incorporate the other things, too.

Unless it's significantly different or that show off some substantial single player and get rid of the useless 8 player smash, I can't say I'm hyped. I hope they don't spend half the direct showing off Smash

Looks like a great prototype. I imagine Nintendo has something similar laying around their offices for the inevitable 1080p upgrade. Hopefully they can get the tech layout cheap enough to release an upgrade next year or so.

I'm thinking calling it a direct implies a more content heavy show than last year with the "digital event". I feel like event implies a short, lighter show

If true, color me hyped. I can't tell you how much I missed racing games like DKR, with boss "fights" and a world that gradually opens up.

It's a really good imitation that brings some of its own minor stuff to the table, which is great. But still, I'd rather Fortnite come over. It's similar to when CubeLife3D filled the minecraft shaped void very well, but once the real thing hit, everyone clearly preferred the original. (Yes, I know fortnite is a bandwagon game from the popularity of PUBG, but at this rate devs are copying fortnite, not PUBG)

Lol @ the people that actually defend this and somehow think Pocket Camp is somehow not exploiting children with these "fortune cookies".

I love it. It used to be "Nintendo would never do mobile gaming trash"

Then it was "Nintendo mobile games are the best ones because they don't nickel and dime you"

Then it was "Well, they NEED microtransations to make money! They're a business, and at least its not loot boxes, those are evil!"

And now it's "Well they need lootboxes and they're optional, at least they're not in any of the paid games".

I can't wait for the excuses to roll in for the next time they push the line.

So Nintendo once again fails to properly incentivize digital purchases. I'm not sure how they managed to take steps -back- from Digital Deluxe Program and Club Nintendo, but here we are.

Mario Odyssey is by far the best game they put out this year and in many years. In my eyes, Zelda shouldn't be anywhere near the likes of it (or the other non-nintendo nominees elsewhere)

It's pretty fun, can also be very unforgiving. But it's a treat to play this type of game on the Switch

@rjejr Gotta say I agree with you. Nintendo is late to the party on almost all things. Just because they're late on DLC doesn't mean they won't cozy up to complete editions and micro transactions in the future. Near future, possibly. I was half-worried they were gonna make the Core Crystals into a loot box system.

Just so I'm clear, something like dungeon keeper is poison to the industry, but this is ok.

It really says alot about the industry when FE Heroes is much more lucrative than Mario Run, arguably a fully featured game for a single one time price.

Also says alot about me when Mario Run is the only game I have played on my phone to completion and Heroes was uninstalled within an hour of being downloaded. So if this goes the same route, count me out

Really wish they would just make Gamecube joycon, I think it's time we put the actual old controller and adapter in its final resting place: only at Smash tournaments.

Sighhh please be good please be good please be good

Personally, I still don't see what makes it stand out as a sequel. But that's not a bad thing. Galaxy 2 could have been what New Super Luigi Bro's was to NSMB U: A very substantial piece of DLC. But it wasn't and it was still an amazing game because it took what the first game did and just... did more of it.

If that's what Splatoon 2 is, with just new maps and weapons, then that's great news. If they also manage to deepen the lore and single player, then that's just icing on the cake.

I really really hope they go back to something more traditional at least for the immediate next zelda game.

Though it's funny. When Skyward Sword came out I was sad that, since it seems the motion controls were divisive, that we'd never again see what was, for me, the epitome of Zelda swordplay. Nothing will ever beat that 1:1 sword fight I had with Ghirahim and Demise. And, sadly, I was right, as BOTW's combat goes back to smashing a button until the enemy is dead. Not to downplay the myriad of other ways you can approach battles in this game, it's brilliant. But strictly speaking of swordplay, it's inferior in every way.

And I guess that's how people would feel if the next Zelda went back to "normal". They fell so in love with this game's open world and simplistic approach to powerups that to go back would be seen as a mistake, similar to my view of the sword play.

Obviously Majora's Mask. It was my first Zelda game way back when.

But a close second is Skyward Sword. No other Zelda game made my jaw hit the floor with its music, story, and gameplay.

So snipperclips is confirmed launch day for US as well?

The lack of capital letters is rather annoying. I enjoy camel casing my user name

I noticed after the original 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo did an amazing job on slimming down packaging substantially

I suspect the reason it's so fast is because there's really not much going on in the background. Of course that's not a knock on it, the wii u had nothing much going on and still moved like a turtle, so this is awesome news to me! I love how snappy it seems
