Why on earth wouldn't they make this available on Switch 1?

It was a cute idea,
but far, far too easy.

Well that's the end of Wave Race then.

Where's Sonic Chronicles?
I've checked the list twice, but if I've overlooked it please let me know.

I could play another Sonic RPG on Switch.

Darunia dancing now with real man tits.

Anyone know how I can play it in portrait?

Don't think there'll ever again be such a big leap, as there was from SNES to N64.

Eugh, Ruto should be given less agency.

Didn't know Digimon was still going.

I don't like how the SNES challenges are only on Switch 2.
I get having GameCube games exclusively on Switch 2,
but not having the SNES challenges on NSO for Switch 1 seems bizarrely meanspirited to me.
Like, these challenges are not going to entice me (or I suspect anyone) to get a Switch 2, it's just going to annoy me.
NSO members on Switch 1 are still paying for the service.

@sportvater

Looks an attempt at blonde Elijah Wood to me.

@coolioam
We're giving our first impressions, and reserve the right to revise those impressions when we get more information.
Bear in mind, this is the first image Nintendo apparently wanted us to see of Link in this remake.

@Rainbowfire
What on earth are you talking about,
people are giving their initial opinions on a design choice.

I can't quite put my finger on why it looks so odd.

You know when you do a shaded drawing, and you're sure that you've got all the measurements and proportions right,
but it just looks off and you don't know how to fix it?
That's how it looks to me.

It'll probably be fine.

Link looks weirder in that picture every time I see it.

I steadfastly managed to hold onto my breath throughout the Direct.

Nintendo discovered opposable thumbs just 50 million years later than the rest of us.

Still got there before GTA6 came out though.
I did an internet, oi oi!

@guamyankee

And they've been doing these for a while.

It's not their fault the news had leaked,
but the most exciting thing shouldn't be a tiny trailer for a remake at the end; that should be bonus.

@Regulus6891

It was awful wasn't it?

Maybe when we see him up and rolling about he'll look better,
but Link there looks really off to me, kind of uncanny valley.

So bored of seeing Charizard in so many teams.
Not as if it's that difficult to beat either.

Just want the damn original.

Got the original trilogy on Switch and that's all I need.

Loving it loving it loving it.

The keychain is nice,
but for some reason the larger soft toy looks quite sinister.

First time playing this in years.

Still love it, but I think breaks are advised.
I kind of feel like I've eaten too much cake.

@Mana_Knight

I'm not 40 years old!

Damn, I've said too much...

Got my Switch 1 battery replaced recently.

Was surprised at how easy and affordable it was.

@LightSpirit

That's cool as I need a bulky physical attacker on my team.

Expected it to be Y, with 100% accuracy moves.

@LightSpirit

Which one is better do you think?

Oh that's cool.
Those Raichu variations were the only things tempting me about ZA.

Walk before you try to run.

They should make a good 3D platformer first,
rather than trying to salvage the poorly made original or make another kart racer for a saturated market.

Baffling this isn't also on Switch 1.

Will you look at that,
Yoshi's Story and Mysterious Book have very similar scores.

Not keen on this kind of try-hard wacky nonsense,
but slightly heartened that they haven't slapped Wario's face (or arse) on this, as it may (just maybe) indicates that they'll be reviving the Wario Land series; the real Wario games.

Here's your stupid Spy Camera!

@Maxz

I think they just need to communicate the release schedule better.

@WeHaveKirbyAtHome

If anything I think save states and rewind would help this game.

@Dee123

That's interesting, as many say Creepy Castle is where the level design finally gets good.
Personally I like all of it.

Played the demo for the last one,
don't know what it is that prevented me from getting into it.

Interesting that it's for Switch 1and 2,
hopefullly becomes more common.

Why are the Korea age ratings seemingly earlier than everywhere else?

Really been enjoying this.
Wonder if they should just call it SEGA racing,
as there's a lot of missing Sonic characters.

I want B.D.Joe added.

@Gryffin

Well Echoes of Wisdom kind of does that.

@Cyrax77

I don't recall expressing a strong opinion,
nor claiming that the majority of reviewers/players don't like the game,
just that some reviewers have pointed out how it might not appeal to the target audience.

I have commented a lot,
so I'll happily be corrected and take a look if I did.

The closest I can find is:
"Many reviewers felt there was a mismatch between the target age the style of gameplay seemed to be going for."

As I explained previously, that doesn't mean the reviewers didn't view the game favourably overall.
And in any case, "many" is not necessarily a majority.

As for Yoshi's Story,
the MobyGames archive has it on 77% based on 49 critic ratings collected from magazines/sites of the era.
So not thaf different from the scores Mysterious Book is gettjng now.

@Cyrax77

But nowhere have I, or the reviews I read, claimed that it misses the goal audience completely, just that the amount of text might be difficult for them to read (a few of the reviewers played the game with children); you ought not to persist in that strawman argument.
I recall at the time some reviews of Breath of the Wild said that the dungeons were lacklustre, yet still gave it ten out of ten; it need not be binary.

"You state that "a few have been overall favourable" but yet the critics rate it at an 8,1. More then a few are overall favourable it seems."
Yes, I could have said a "fair few" or such like,
I wasn't trying to mimimise the overall feeling towards the game,
just that plenty have mentioned shortcomings as well.

"But yet you state you've consumed a lot of the games coverage. If you did that without looking for opinions (reviews) that match your feelings about the game, you would have bought it."
Come on mate, this is really weak sauce.
A lot of people consume gaming in different ways these days.
A few of my students when I taught at a Japanese university would watch Splatoon but never played it.
Myself, I'm middle aged and don't have a Switch 2,
and find myself consuming gaming in what some might consider a second hand way more than more.

I think you've let yourself down a bit with the above point.

I do find the presentation of the game pleasant and rather enjoy watching coverage of it, even to the point of making a couple of custom Smash stages based on levels, but that's as far as it goes (some might say quite far already mind);
I don't feel the need to buy a s Switch 2 for it,
and if I did, I think I would try to rent it, as it seems the appeal is in the discovery (which I'm getting from reviews and footage) and afterwards it's rather like having a completed colouring book.

Again, I think you've let yourself down a bit.

I think the game in time might find a similar place to Yoshi's Story;
a bit underrated, but with issues that are difficult to ignore
And that's fine.
