@Hawkes142 I have both of those yup - good but F-zero is packed with characters and as a "death race", with all these rivalries etc, there's something extra there that I think they could do something epic with that no other future racer has
Just maybe not as weird and cheesey as F-zero GX went with it ๐
For some reason it runs better in handheld than docked, why? I plumped 7, enjoying it but it has quite the amount of jank and I had to go back to old saves at one point because the story had glitched out an npc I needed to follow me not getting on his horse
Maybe they mean switching between link across two seperate timelines, and the past affects the future, one could be more dungeon orientated and the other open world
Age of imprisonment is pretty fun, prob 2nd best first party title on Switch 2 after Bananza, although the bar is pretty low on that front just now
Completed this in a week and sold it, it was bland and repetitive, aside from great boss battles, it doesn't have much to offer. More Call of Duty than Metroid as an experience.
@galaxidion I bought Blue Prince yesterday and loved it, full of intrigue and mystery and it's relaxing, beautiful and the more runs you do, the more it unfolds
I wasn't big into Felix when he first joined but slowly he won me over and grew into the role, so kudos to you sir and now your shoes are big ones to fill ๐๐
Not a great game, completed in a week, sold it, all the style of Metroid, none of the soul. It's nowhere near as intricate, smart and interconnecting as the first Metroid Prime
I have had covid fot the last week and this game has been the perfect low brain energy antidote. It's not perfect and should be more ambitious but for what it is, it's a fun time and an addictive gameplay loop
Metroid Prime is easily in my top 10 games of all time, it's just unreal, the level design, atmosphere, morph ball puzzle goodness
Really hope they can do MP4 justice, They might fail but if they succeed then hot damn
Was about to say the Switch 2 will finally be cooking, but maybe it's more fitting to say the Switch 1 will have an incredible send off bookmarked by Breath of the Wild and Metroid Prime 4. (I'm ignoring semi notable 2026 releases, I know)
I love Zion. I have a vague memory of when he first started, he received lots of "It's not Alex" comments but he overcame that, and stands shoulder to shoulder with the best Youtubers. He's a phenomenal content creator with a shining personality. Miss him already โค๏ธ

Re: Gallery: Here's What The Zelda Switch 2 And Electric Ocarina Look Like In Person
So is the left joycon more grey than green or is it just the lighting?
Might go for the for real Ocarina rather than electric, though wonder how spensive it gonna be

Re: Mailbox: Wordcrafting, Backtracking, One-Handed Titles - Nintendo Life Letters
A new F-zero has been number 1 on my Nintendo wish list for.... Maybe 15 years at this point
F-zero 99 was a thing but really.... I want it to be like Burnout on crack with insane graphics and even more insane speed
One day, folks, one day. It's wild how much Metroid we have gotten in comparison, though I appreciate it has a little bit more iconicness going for it

Re: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Electric Ocarina Nintendo Store Pre-Orders Now Live (US)
Ok.. I think I get it, it's more like a toy than an instrument with buttons that make sounds
Still might be tricky to play
Re: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Electric Ocarina Nintendo Store Pre-Orders Now Live (US)
So how does this work?
Do you have to connect it to the Switch 2 and it only makes sounds in the game?
And that's it?
If so that's such a specific one time use for $50
Re: Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII Reunion Scores A Surprise Switch 2 Release
Never played this, if you love the FF7 remakes, is this that kinda game?
Re: Nintendo Details Switch 2 Price Increase For The UK
Hopefully when the OLED model comes it's sub ยฃ500
Honestly ยฃ420 is fine - you just don't get a free Mario Kart ๐

Re: Legend Of Zelda Limited Edition Switch 2 Console And Pro Controller Leaks
Think holding out for OLED at this point, kinda cool but not worth increased priced switch 2 cool.
Re: Switch 2 Surpasses 23 Million Units As Nintendo Claims Sales Remain "Solid"
Nothing to worry about just yet thanks to an absolutely insane start - Think they'll need a big 3D Mario or something in 2027/8 to rebuild momentum.
I'm super excited for Ocarina of Time remake but will the masses be?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Fox On Switch 2?
A solid 8, it's real nice but I wanted some new levels or a new campaign added to freshen it up more
Re: Quiz: Can You Tell These N64 Games From The Mangled Box Art?
18/20, can't believe I got my all time fave game wrong, Super Mario 64 ๐
Re: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Description May Suggest A Faithful 1:1 Remake
If they don't at least change Hyrule field, that's a missed opportunity. Guess we shall see.
Either way I have wanted an HD remake for yonks so they can have my money

Re: Feature: Where The Heck Do You Start If You've Never Played Resident Evil?
RE4 Remake if you want to experience the pinnacle of the series
Or honestly, Requiem gives the best of the gameplay styles, isn't too difficult and you don't really need any previous story knowledge going in
I think I actually first played Revelations, which was fine... Just on a random boat with the zombie folk

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Tennis Fever?
It's fun, the tennis part is great and enjoyable just to play matches
But the modes are lacklustre, the adventure mode sucks
7/10
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 1 Pokรฉmon?
I voted for Articuno but honestly, I kinda like them all equally. Soft spot for Seel but no particular reason why ๐
Nearly all the designs are just great.
Re: Pokรฉmon Pokopia Promises A Chunky Main Story With "More Things To Experience" After Credits

If not this, who knows, it was a strange experience
Re: Talking Point: Age Of Imprisonment Could Inspire Next Zelda Game, Say Devs, But What Does That Mean?

Indifferent to Miles, More disappointed in the game as a whole, boss fights were amazing, everything else pretty bland

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokรฉmon Legends: Z-A?
It's weirdly enjoyable despite the constraints of being in one city.
If they had allowed you to get a train to at least a couple other environments to make it a bit more like an evolution of Arceus, would be a 10
As it stands... Currently feeling an 8 but surprised by that, it shouldn't be good but it is, Pokemon always seems to draw you in regardless
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (18th October)
I gave in and ordered Pokemon ZA.... Hope it has at least some of Arceus in it!
Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Switch) - Still Out Of This World
I have to drag my Wii U out to play Mario Galaxy 2.. But would rather do that than pay a ludicrous amount for ports.
Wish Nintendo would do a full on HD (or 4K) remake of Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time, I'd pay them whatever they want for those ๐
