I love that he called it a computer game haha. I'm aware its not technically accurate, but in the 90s computer games was a general catch-all term for interactive entertainment in the UK, as when gaming began to take off it was via home computers more than video game consoles.

Just nice to see British English terms pop up now and again as the internet has so many younger Brits using American English - the sound of a British youtuber talking about the 'ZEE' trigger on an N64 controller or the 'ESS-NEN-EE-ESS' makes me sad.

I don't watch much contemporary media so I haven't seen anything by these two, but I think casting unknowns is the right way to go. Part of the appeal of Link in particular is the blank canvas he represents (he has little to no character outside of brave/loyal, especially in the earlier games) so to have a unknown actor in the role doesn't distract the audience by having them imprint a more well-known star's persona on to Link.

@DollyrotsFan1 Not sure I agree that they supposed to be 'in love' with each other; the depth of their relationship is dependent on the game and individual fan canon. The earlier games, especially, suggest no more than a 'hero-damsel' relationship. i would suggest a deep affection/mutual respect is closer within the majority of the series.

@Purgatorium

Because people want to be angry about things that don’t matter in order to get attention on the internet.

I've played the new Sonic titles.

Time would definitely be better spent updating Sonic Adventure,

What, no Rage Wars?

AN EXCLUSIVE IN GAME COSTUME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

“There's also a free digital upgrade for existing Little Nightmare owners at launch, but this is not available for the Nintendo versions.”

Any explanation for why this is?

*** edit ***

Ahh technical limitation. Whatever. Still won’t buy it, the original version runs well enough for me.

@vio what age do you plan to quit gaming? I’d like to know since you feel there’s a hard cut off point. Want to make sure I stock up on flat caps and werthers originals so I don’t get in trouble with the fun police.

Still Nintendo's worst home console and with the weakest iterations of the majority of its major franchises; it's the only Nintendo console where a third-party release (RE4) is the best game on there.

Still got my original copies of these I bought at the time (I'm old), but glad a new generation will have official access to them!

If Nintendo really considered the experience etc. when pricing games, they wouldn't charge so much for remasters of 10-15 year old games.

Is America great yet?

That good old Nintendo arrogance when successful rearing its head.

I mean, you'd hope so at that price.

Sucked in '02 and sucks now. The HD remake is the only way to play the worst 3D Zelda.

Don't @ me.

I wonder if they'll actually package this one properly when they ship it in 2029

Price point is offensive. What is the innovation? Some chat function and a mouse? That’s the best they have after eight years? And a load of “old game but in 60 fps please give money?”They didn’t show anything exciting enough to make it a day one purchase and I have a switch backlog anyway.

Will wait for the anniversary edition that included the inevitable DLC.

Exactly the kind of things that should be coming to SNES online.

The main bug that needs fixing is the ridiculous price points.

There is legitimately NOTHING that baseball would make more exciting.

Disappointed to only get 21, but not bad considering I haven't played it for over a decade.

BUT WHAT ABOUT GAME PRESERVATION!!!!!???????

Oh no, the mega corporation is making slightly less money.

I was over in the UK for the first time in a few years for Christmas, and one thing that stood out is the reduction in shelf space for games in general. When I was last over in 2019, for example, my local Asda has a whole aisle for physical games, that is now down to a fifth of an aisle. HMV stocked barely any games. GAME is no longer a games retailer that also sells merchandise, but is instead a tat retailer that also sells games on the side.

Of course, this could be a case of catch-22, with demand informing what shops stock, but I would suggest in factor that has informed a decline in physical media is that they aren't as readily available on the high street as they were pre-pandemic.

Not sure how seriously I can take the view of someone who cried 75% of the way through a Sonic move, to be honest.

The fact that one of their primary selling points is 'it has some really fantastic easter eggs' shows what kind of movie this will be. Another load of 'member berries nonsense.

Slim pickings.

I hope they are well off and simply foolish due to wealth and haven't put themselves in financial trouble.

I have lived in Japan for 14 years. My wife is Japanese. My daughter is dual heritage. I studied an MA Japanese studies at University.

There is nothing the Japanese like more than to pretend they are politer/more civilized than other countries; in fact, it has a basis as practically government propaganda with theories such as nihonjiron. They in no way are. They are as ignorant and self absorbed as anywhere else.

Out there in internet land there is no number of people - both Japanese and Japanophile - desperate to propagate the misinformation it is only “the evil white tourist doing this”. There's plenty of it going on in this thread, for example. Don’t allow yourself to be tricked into thinking otherwise

Feels like Nintendo have abandoned this one already. They really should be adding new games/challenged every now and again. I played it fairly solidly for two weeks but have done everything now and the online element is not involving/interesting enough to bring me back to it.

Gonna wait for the Wii U version.

I have zero memory of this.

CEOs need their super yachts, peasants.

@arabiansanchez

Yes, you can order several tickets per application. I believe the maximum is four, though I may be wrong on this. You have to write the names of the applicants and bring some ID with you as well, so tickets can’t be scalped.

You can make one application at a time and it’s tied to a phone number. Not sure if they are tied to the Nintendo account too; sorry about that, I wasn’t paying attention to that when making my application.

@Setery

No, that is referring to your window for entry, not how long you can stay. Basically, if you have a 10:00-10:30 ticket and you arrive at 10:45, they won’t let you in.

Haven't watched the video as i want to go in fresh. I work in Kyoto City and used to live there before moving to my current location; it is a formerly wonderful place that has sold itself out to tourism and is now pretty much unbearable for anyone old and grumpy enough to remember what it used to be like. I have visited Uji before, I'm sure the residents there are dreading how things will change over the next year.

Anyway, I have applied for my tickets - planning to take my four-year old who is starting to show an interest in my games collection and loves Donkey Kong Country on the SNES, and the Pikmin characters - so will keep my fingers crossed.

I’m sure I read somewhere that the reason Tingle was relegated from mainline entries was the perception that American audiences hate him, something obviously not helped by that ridiculous IGN campaign.

Man, IGN sucks.

@ShonenJump121

When the primary market became man children rather than just children.

I'm enjoying it, but there feels like there is a lot of areas for expansion in the concept. It feels like half a product at the moment.

I registered for an alert from Nintendo Store UK, got the notification, put it in the shopping cart and….

Nah, I’m bored of this.

Not criticizing those who collect - and I’m lucky in that I can afford it all - but I just don’t need a big box of stuff I don’t want just for the sake of “muh collection”. Being near 40 and having a daughter now played a big part in it all but, yeah, this is the one that broke me on collecting.

@Ryu_Niiyama

“ but it isn’t necessary to toss a nonsensical hot take into the internet about what you think the devs or Nintendo should have done”

But how else would people get those yummy online notifications and reactions that they need to feel validated in their opinions?

The only thing that really matters is a consistent framerate, in my opinion. Never really understood the whole frames-per-second obsession some seem to have; I guess I’m lucky it makes no difference to me.

Reissue the amiibo you cowards!!

Dislike LRG for all the obvious reasons but would be tempted by the physical if I trusted them to ship it without it getting damaged.

First movie was dreck. Never bothered with the second, certainly won’t bother with this.
