I am genuinely jealous of the amount of free time some of you have, lol.

All awards ceremonies are nonsense and this is no different.

Very little modern mainstream cinema is any good, so I have little to no reason to expect Zelda to be any different. I’lll pirate it out of curiosity of how they handle the material, but I have no expectations of it being as good as even Legend.

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you might make a game that’s higher than a 4/10 for the first time in 20 years.

N64 is my favourite console ever (a lot of which is, admittedly, rose-tinted specs and nostalgia) but it’s hard to care about this one, other than it means people who want to play it don’t have to pay the frankly offensive second hand market prices to do so.

Going to buy this and Mario on the same day next week, like a good 90s boy.

Kyoto is less than an hour by train from Osaka so it’ll be easy if you want to go.

As an addendum: the store is in Takashimaya, which is directly above the Kyoto-Kawaramachi stop on the Hankyu line (which is the last stop), so you won't even have much inconvenience in getting to it from the station.

I work in Kyoto so will find time to pop into this at some point.

On topic, will this be told from a British perspective or a more general one?

I still have my original CIB edition, which I bought for £10 second hand back in 2005. Great to see it being made more widely available, as going back to check my old save file recently I discovered I never actually finished it! Maybe now is the time.

I luckily picked up a physical copy of Sutte Hakkun when it was merely expensively, rather than offensively, priced. It’s a great game that deserves a wider audience.

I’m lucky in that I can speak and read Japanese, but this is a truckload of nonsense. This is a relatively expensive service for what users get, and to not even bother to do some relatively simple translations is just reflective of Nintendo’s attitude to content on the online service.

Relieved about this. My primary irritation with the trailer I saw was the flower dialogue. Not interested at all in that kind of thing.

Two N64 games in a month? It's almost like they'll be asking people to re-up their subscriptions soon!

@NintendoWife

I'm guessing this is exactly what it is. Without actual sales figures we can't say for certain, but given that the highest new entry this week is at #11 it's more a case of other games tailing off and MK8DX remaining consistent.

I wish the UK would release exact sales figures like the Japanese charts do.

Surely there’s enough “wa-hoo”s and “ya-ha”s in the recording vault now they could just reuse old recordings. It’s not like it’s much is a spoken part.

I’m not aware who this gentleman is, as I don’t follow the industry side of gaming, pretty hard to be excited by the activities of a PR guy.
