Aonuma knows what he's talking about. Zelda doesn't need to be a story first game. There are other ones that can do that. Ace Attorney Trilogy is really good and you should play it.
@-wc- Remember pausing all the time for the Iron boots in the water temple? Zelda has had issues like this forever. The fact that dealing with a menu is the worst part of the game goes to show how sound the rest of it is. Nobody was complaining about the menus in Sonic 06. There were quite a lot of other more glaring issues to complain about.
@Kiyata Interesting. Back in 2017 I did get Mario Odyssey from Amazon a day before release. I was playing my copy a day early and my brother had to watch me while waiting for his.
I don't get it. When scantily clad characters are covered up a little bit people get mad and claim its censorship. But then people got mad when they uncensored Paper Mario by reincluding a trans character that was supposed to be there from the beginning. Do you people want censorship or not?
My GameCube adapter always reads one controller as two after the update. My brother and I used this to do a match where we each controlled two characters with our one controller each. I won.
This makes me want the game more. I played so much Mario Party DS back in the day. It brings me absolute pleasure that people are experiencing online today what I would experience on the school bus back then.
See. This is what first past the post brings. The European and Japanese box are almost identical. Yet by splitting the votes between them the NA version wins.
I really think all of these leaks are why Nintendo doesn't announce development partners beforehand anymore. They're trying to stamp out leaks and are trying to keep as much info close to the chest as they can. Leaks are fun for fans. But you have to remember that they happen because someone who has trust placed in them is breaking that trust.
And their recent Switch update totally messed up a bunch of people's GameCube adapters. Mine always reads my one GameCube controller as two controllers now ever since Switch 19.0. Nintendo needs to fix that.
There's been an attempt at 6 revisionism to try and critically reevaluate it. People trying to claim that its a bad RE game but a good action game. I must say I disdain that attempt. It's just not good. Even as far as third person shooters go it isn't very good. The truth is that a guy chasing you around a dinner table with a shovel in RE7 is a million times more intense than literally anything in RE6.
Principle 1 of the Toyota Way: "Base your management decisions on a long-term philosophy, even at the expense of short-term financial goals."
Nintendo gets this. All of the most successful companies get this. When big players like Sony release garbage like Concord and the industry as a whole chases trends like a cat chases a laser pen. This sort of industrywide destruction happens. And companies that stick to their philosophies like Nintendo feel none of it. Build today to have a castle tomorrow. Remember that folks.
The Last Story is a hidden gem of the Wii's later years. I would love for it to get any sort of rerelease or remaster. And I recommend anyone play it if they can somehow unearth a copy and have a Wii or Wii U available.
I have this idea I've had for a while. It's a new DK character. His name is Kong Donkey. He's a donkey who is super muscular. He and DK start out as adversaries. But eventually end up realizing that the Kremlings are a greater threat and end up teaming up. Nintendo can take my idea if it wants.
@N8tiveT3ch That's my point. Prime remastered was literally one of the greatest HD remasters ever. And it was only $40. Any remaster charging more than that is just insanity.
The series that should take it. Is Zelda. There's no reason we can't have both kinds of Zelda. Other Zelda games will use that formula in the future. Maybe we can have a different dev make more traditional Zelda games while the main team makes the open ones. And someday the main team very well might revert to making more traditional Zelda games.
@andyg1412 Rushing it out in a shoddy state would have been the much greater mistake. The fact that Nintendo has taken this long to make sure they get it right is why they're the cream of the crop.
My Amazon preorder got cancelled a while ago. And my Walmart one to replace it just got cancelled today. I am not caving and going digital. I'll wait months to buy it if I have to. I did the same thing with Metroid Prime Remastered. Nintendo needs to produce enough copies. This is ridiculous.
@jco83 Yikes. I didn't realize it was $40,000 a month. I thought that was the yearly rate. No wonder all the companies are dropping integration. Half a million a year is ridiculous.

Prime 2 is my favorite Prime game. That and Super Metroid are tied for my favorite in the series. Would love a remaster.

Not until Yoshi's Woolly World, Twilight Princess HD, and Wind Waker HD are ported. Until then the Wii U yet lives.

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Fix Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Most Frustrating Feature?
I don't know why you can't map some echoes to a few buttons. This was something that was figured out in 1998 with Ocarina of Time.

Until you play Breath of the Wild on the Wii U. I ain't wanna hear no complaints about frame rate.

Re: Rumour: Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games "Finished"
Having a new iteration every 4 years was pretty cool though. Didn't oversaturate itself by being a yearly release. Sort of a shame.
Re: Random: Nintendo Considered Some Bananas Names For DK, Including "Kong Dong"
I have this idea I've had for a while. It's a new DK character. His name is Kong Donkey. He's a donkey who is super muscular. He and DK start out as adversaries. But eventually end up realizing that the Kremlings are a greater threat and end up teaming up. Nintendo can take my idea if it wants.

Re: Talking Point: Could Another Nintendo Series Take Over The 'Traditional' Zelda Template?

Yeah. Australia a real tyrant. After only Nazi Germany, the Land of Oz is everyone's pick for most tyrannical country.
Re: Nintendo Discontinuing 'X' Integration On Switch Next Month
$40,000? Hiring an extra janitor or two at one of Nintendo's facilities is a better use of that money.
Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate For Paper Mario: TTYD On Switch?
I'm a big believer that consistency is more important that peak framerate. I'll take a solid 30 over an inconsistent 60.
Re: Video: How Does Paper Mario: TTYD On Switch Compare To The Original?
It'll most likely run at 60 on Switch 2 in a year or so. I've always been fine with 30 so long as it runs mostly consistently.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Paper Mario: Sticker Star (3DS)
I really hope that Thousand Year Door does well. And I really hope it finally leads to Nintendo making Paper Mario 3.
