Looks extremely unoriginal. Not saying it’s a bad game but it looks like Nintendo gave Ubisoft the same engine that Metroid Dread runs on and they just reskinned the game and added melee combat. I wish they just release Sands of Time remaster than this cheap clone of Metroid.

@johnvboy I think you severely misunderstood my concept. Switch success is thanks to third party support. So switch needs to be able to run new gen games with stable frame rate. I know gaming since the NES. Every Nintendo gen that had limited third party support has failed- look at N64, GC, Wii U. Wii was success partially thanks to motion gimmicks but this won’t work anymore. I am not saying Switch 2 needs to run GTA6 but Switch 2 will be the parallel gen of ps6 and Nintendo needs to stay relevant and will need to run third party games from that gen too! You need to see the bigger picture. Are you saying that it’s ok that almost 10year old games on Switch today that freeze at times like Arkham Knight is ok?! No it isn’t and Nintendo needs to be ready for this. Releasing a proper home console on par with ps5 would be better- but that most likely won’t happen of course.

@arabiansanchez you are right, but Nintendo needs third party support and that’s why Switch was successful as it is- but the gap is becoming so huge that now Switch has huge issues with Arkham knight which is a ps4 game, and PlayStation since then had ps4 pro, ps5, now ps5 pro and I bet by the time gta6 releases it will be on ps6 possible( even though they always release late gen to have higher sales) so Nintendo can’t afford to have the same issues as current gen, and it needs to be powerful enough to handle ports in stable locked framerates. Arkham knight was freezing at times on Switch. I am for a new Nintendo home console not portable and have power of at least a base ps5!

I think Nintendo should take this one not account and be very careful, because any Nintendo generation that had limited third party support had failed big time. Switch is the first Nintendo console to have a very good support and that’s why it’s so successful, but already now we see huge issues with Arkham Knight and that is a ps4 game. In a few years there will be ps6 - and Switch is weaker than ps4, significantly, and there was already ps4 Pro, Ps5, Ps5 Pro soon, and ps6 maybe in 2-3 years. Nintendo really needs to catch up if they wanna be successful. It’s not about graphics and raw power, but even if Switch 2 gets degraded ports that run terribly like Arkham Knight, it will be a very bad failure for Nintendo and so I believe the next Nintendo system should be a pure home console that could use Switch 1 as a peripheral device but Nintendo needs more power for Next gen since maybe 1-2 years after its release, there will be ps6!!! That jump could make porting under stable frame rates impossible. Careful Nintendo!!! Be very careful!!!!!

This would be an immediate purchase if they at least remade Perfect Dark for modern consoles including Switch. I don’t mind not having a sequel but I want the original on Switch! And Conker’s Bad Fur Day!

Of course people want it mainly from Nostalgia purposes. TOTK has better replayability than any Zelda before, and I think they did amazing job. I feel the only way to satisfy us players who grew up with Ocarina is to give us a proper OOT Remake in the style of Wii U Tech Demo! Some harder to think through puzzles, new combat and AI and that would be phenomenal. However I disagree with playable Zelda- that’s the cheapest way to evolve a series- let’s make a more playable characters- I FELT it’s a filler that’s not as good as the main protagonist- like GOW Ragnarok- Atreus was just ok, and Spider-Man? I enjoyed previous entries more. Companions were actually supplemented well through summons and they were cool. For playable Zelda- the only way I can imagine her- is have her as a playable Shiek in Ocarina of Time Remake.

@Zaruboggan perfect comment! It is ridiculous but also extremely rude. Aonuma is like a president in gaming in comparison to Keighley who would be a cleaning guy in the White House tops. Aonuma deserves more respect! This is so unprofessional!

No excuse, this is rude and unprofessional. He is one of the most iconic figures in gaming! It shows how unprofessional these organisers are.

Lol if Baldurs Gate Players actually played TOTK, the vote would go elsewhere. These awards are pointless! If Baldurs Gate releases on both PlayStation and Xbox and has even pc community support and fanbases , and Zelda only on Switch, how can voters truly pick the better game. I got tired of these awards and even Oskars, because it’s hacked and the winner must be a game that will make most money to the top companies and obviously this is 3 vs 1. Nothing bad against Baldurs Gate 3, but competing with Zelda?!!!! Zelda has 3 world maps-incredible transitions, each world has a special purpose, the lore, the religious and sci-fi ideologies, the story of eternal love and evil, true open world where every item has multiple applications, the mini games and just the amount of gameplay diversity, and game flexibility where nothing is forced and anything is optional- the game can truly be as long as players want and the same can be said about challenge. Not mentioning the skills, summons, and Fusing weapons and creating inventions! If Zelda didn’t win game of the year, it’s a clear example that voting today is not about choosing better quality, but satisfying mass opinions and shaping marketing so nobody gets upset. This is a shame because game quality and contribution should be valued as number one! Hope more people recognise it even if it’s not their cup of tea, and those who did play it most likely agree. TOTK is the best game of all time for all it’s done, and no game will easily surpass it at least for another 6-10 years. This year is rare! And getting a quality release like this not appreciated as they should be is wrong! Game of the year should be a celebration of game in all regards, and I would even say that BG3 is far more niche game than Zelda. It’s almost like letting Superman lose against Flash in terms of skills. But Superman (Link) has a cryptonite weakness, and that’s being released on a system that has two communities or 3 if I count PC against itself, plus Switch is deemed childish. I really feel this is not right and it should have been Zelda and this awards are insult to gaming but that’s life. Hopefully more people get to play both and really see who the true winner!

Botw and Totk cover the same story as Ocarina Of time! This story is finished and any sequel would be scraping the bottom of the barrel! Give us a proper Ocarina of Time remake finally? Or a remaster of Twilight Princess in the graphics style of the Wii U Demo that never came to life!

That will never happen if it’s life action lol. What an ignorant comment. Drawing is art- each frame is drawn, and it has a style that’s impossible to replicate with live action! Bad move Nintendo!

Burn in Hell Konami for this blasphemy!
Not only you killed my favourite series MGS with that catastrophic no MGS games on cartridge-not even MGS1 or 3! But now this?!!!!

@thenikdavies Banjo was great, but Sepiroth announcement was far more epic than Sora’s.

@rainbowtick I know they need to respect the original look of Knight, but if the system can’t handle it, they should have opted for more Zelda style graphics or just wait for new system to release!!! This starts to get annoying! Also the cartridge sizes! Switch is the only console where a fraction of the releases is on the cartridge- look at Doom, Metal Gear Collection, now Batman!!!!! Wake up people and let Nintendo know this is not ok! Next is Resident evil games- all in cloud because Switch can’t run them, then Kingdom Hearts Games- cloud only, Hitman-cloud, and many more,….How can nobody complain that Switch is getting these half cooked physical releases and no longer gets proper releases for big third party titles!!!! They have scraped off the bottom of the barrel to an extreme! We need a serious horsepower for the next system and I won’t be forgiving any more crappy releases by Nintendo! I used to side with N over PS, but Nintendo has been abusing its loyal fan base for too long, just because a lot of the users are kids, who don’t even know how to voice their opinions.

We need a new system, not a support an old system, that is slowly crapping it’s pants trying to play old games and rely on super talented studios that rarely make the games work ok like Doom eternal. But these are such rare cases that we really need a new more powerful switch! Stop this bull…. Nintendo!

I kinda wish they changed the art style to more cartoony to improve performance while keeping great graphics. I don’t mind worse graphics, but it sucks having lame black blob shadows, no smoke, reflections and bad explosions! Wish they put more effort into Knight!

@AnVold I wish they put Arkham City on the cartridge which is still the best one!

@blindsquirrel Nothing should ever be released and already count on patches! That’s unacceptable! The games got delayed for a reason and if it’s still bad, no buy!

If I could buy them and keep them on the system then sure! If it’s the same like NSO- paying for games I cannot own and paying for games that disappear once the service ends-that’s a waste of money! No, Thank you Xbox! I won’t waste money.

Why isn’t here more colab with Metroid or Zelda like in other MH games on 3DS:/

Can’t wait! Hope it gets the same treaatment like what Panic Button did for Doom!

It could diversify content- more items that are level based. More levels being a different game. A race could have different physics. Go deeper in terms of underwater and space combat. Having a race that goes into space like Star Fox. Could invade someones cart and on success the carts can swap. Having more combat to the back and to sides. More items! Some level based and some character based. Some items could get powered up with 10coins too!

@JohnnyMind yes for sure it will continue on the next system but what next. You still won’t own it and if you wanted to try the games in 15years it’s gone. This is about game preservation. I wouldn’t mind paying 10-15 bucks for each N64 game. So if you consider how much people might pay for NSO in 7-10years. Many people would spend much more and still keep the service so they would definitely make more money.

@CainTheConfused lol how old are you? Yes naturally you can lose anything from even physical cartridge! The main point is, which you clearly don’t understand- if you pay for NSO, you never own the software so once the service discontinues you can’t access it anymore. If you have it downloaded and paid for it, if the service discontinues- it stays in your system. What’s hard to understand?

@CupidStunt are you serious? What happened with Wii and Wii U and 3DS eshops?!

Still do t understand why they don’t add an option to individually purchase those games while having them all on NSO- I am sure there are audiences for both! Anyway, I bet there are people like me who have their N64, and won’t ever touch NSO- so enabling to purchase these games-they will finally convince people like me to waste more money, because most people I know hate subscription platforms, because we all know that this platform will be gone one day as it’s predecessors and the money for subs wasted. Nintendo let us just buy them too!

NONE! Because we should be able to buy them, not just waste money on a platform like NSO that will be gone one day! I wanna buy Perfect Dark, Star FOX, Conker, Banjo, Sin and Punishment, and more!

@bombs005 totally agree- Ghibli version of Ocarina of Time would be the best way to go!

Oh my, that look phenomenal. I hope they will remake OOT in a similar style that respects the original art and assets.

@Bret I agree with you and you made good points, but don’t take me word for word, my point is that most marketed games I was exposed to were all bangers. Are you saying that you dont see a degradation in quality content in general?!

@BTB20 if you read between the lines you might see it’s not me judging this direct, it’s about the decrease in quality overall. I am not the only one who wasn’t interested in a single game- and that also says something? It means there is no original idea-mere carbon copy content for the sake of selling and making money. Games are about ideas- and I didn’t notice anything original. Are you saying it’s ok to allow average games into widely expected direct that doesn’t come weekly? I wouldn’t mind if this content was mentioned on sidelines, but these directs come overt few months and if this shows peak indie games, than I am shocked you don’t complain seither, because if these are all high quality games for you, that would enable big studios release average bad content even more- and that happens still- if people don’t complain- we get more micro transactions in games, more forced online connections, more unfinished games that need patches right after launch! And that’s not ok! Back then, games released finished and the overall quality was better. I think people should rise their voices and have higher standards than just streamlining everything for the sake of making even IQ50 players be able to play because more purchases are more important than good quality content. Just saying!

@anoyonmus let’s not focus on silly typos please if we are both adults. If you have played games, read books, watched movies for over 35 years, you can tell what is quality, how things are marketed, what are mere carbon copy titles in new coats just to make quick money. Gaming has been on decline for some time and I don’t need to play every game to see so. I am not judging any game particularly, I am judging released content and marketing-focus which is obviously to make money.

@IceEarthGuard that’s a good point for sure, but if you have been playing games and knowing the business for over 30years like me, you would maybe understand that the overall quality is rapidly decreasing. Not judging all these games, but just reflecting my impression overall over the gaming trends, ne gaming business. Games today are more about making money than making fun experiences, and these directs are more marketing tools to just keep selling more stuff even if it’s not that great. Back when I was a kid, if there was a game in a magazine- those were some of the top
Games. Nowadays, anyone canarket anything and the market is overflowing. I believe we need higher quality directs and higher quality games. Back then if you release a game- you release it when it’s finished. Today even Indie games release unfinished because making profit is just more important than waiting little longer and offering a complete product! So quantity over quality!!! That’s not ok! Everything gets monetized, micro transactions, forced online-because people became the product, not the game. So trust me, that my intent is good, unfortunately many consumers don’t see this, and it’s very sad!

@HaileySheridon I am glad you liked it, but that doesn’t mean it was a good game. It doesn’t meet the quality standard of BOTW or TOTK. As a Warriors game they stripped so many strategic components that Age of Calamity is really a watered down game with very little depth. It’s even more streamlined and linear experience which is contradicting the warriors concept. Characters are overpowered and you are just bulldozering waves with zero strategy to it. It great if you resonated with the game but for me I am looking at it from a higher perspective and it’s sad for me to say it because I was very excited for it, and then never finished it because I got bored. for a new gamer it might feel fresh but I have been playing over 35 years and see how genres evolve, how gaming changes, standards lower,… hard to describe. Also as a big fan of Zelda games, I have the highest possible standard for it so that’s the main reason why I also wouldn’t do a life action movie- because the market is overblown with CGI and bland acting, and Zelda deserves more! It needs to be a unique experience and most importantly artistic experience- movie would make it into another fantasy, but Animeted style would make it more unique and the silent hero would work better in Anime than having a mute actor. If you have seen Ghibli movies-you would know that these films expressed more than most fantasy films ever.

@anoyonmus it’s not just about indie, it’s about over abundance and bad quality content. If you are satisfied with this low quality content, you are a very lucky person indeed.

@anoyonmus LOL it’s funny anyone defends this. I bet 99 percent of people won’t be interested in majority of these titles! If you like average thrash indie games, and won’t voice your opinion to get better titles, we will get crappy announcements if you are ok with it. Based on your reply it’s clear how short sighted you are, or you work for this platform and defend this bad content.

@Oppyz666 LOL are you 5 year old?! That was very detail focused answer. Won’t argue if you can’t see deeper into that.

@CornflakeCookie that’s tough. But Ocarina remains the best Zelda and I feel if they brought a new and deep combat with new elements that could be new covered in old as well. Remember the Wii U Tech demo? Having a Zelda as detailed and polished would be awesome. I think after TOTK which essentially is a rehash of Ocarina of time story, they can’t really do much more beside bringing crazy time Traveling into the future and creating even more contrast between old tech and new.

@HaileySheridon Sorry but even though I missed underwater- we got the same experience through low gravity fields! And it’s definitely worth making a third game for- just for underwater lol. Also Age of Calamity was a big B tier average game and that was enough to waste extra time in the same world. Now we need a proper Ocarina of Time remake in the style of Wii U tech demo! That’s something Zelda franchise deserves- deep, intimate and highly polished experience. Not Age of Calamity which was even worse than Hyrule Warriors in many ways.

@CornflakeCookie that was the only interesting game, but still, it’s copy and paste of other castlevania with a simple gimmick that’s more about visual impression than substance. I think they should do more proper directs with more substantial content

@HaileySheridon there is no need to make a third game! This game finished the story which is essentially the same as OOT.

Please NO LIFE Action movie! Don’t kill it Nintendo! GHIBLI is the only one who can capture the dark fantasy aesthetics and overall tone and quality!

No more indie directs!!!! It’s getting too much! We want Metroid Prime 2, Ocarina of Time remake! Eternal Darkness Remake!!!! And F Zero GX remaster announcements! Give us real games not these crappy Indie Directs!

Ocarina of Time/ BOTW + TOTK= the same story. But I like the beginning of Ocarina more/ Dark Fantasy storyline. I hope they won’t do life action but Ghibli style animation!!!! I can’t stand the bland Hollywood style movies anymore!!!!!

Live action would be a terrible choice!!!! It would create another CGI bland type of phantasy. Bring studio Ghibli on board instead! Having Zelda movie in the style of Princess Mononoke would be the only choice to give it the serious and artistic note that Zelda universe deserves! Please no real actors! That would be the fail of a decade!

Upwards only with good marketing thanks to the movie. It’s hardly the best 2D Mario and definitely not the best platformer on switch. It’s sad that people misplace fame and hype with quality game. It has good art style, effects and great controls, but most people’s attention is taken by visuals which in many minds take attention away from depth which this game severely lacks. It has creative effects but it’s too streamlined with minimal difficulty even in the hardest levels. It’s a huge disappointment!!!!! And mainly because this should be the leading platformer. The king of platforming is still DK Tropical Freeze!

If it’s made by Studio Ghibli?! Great!!!!!!

@OorWullie yeah Tropical Freeze deserves more recognition. Now I got quite disappointed by the childish difficulty of Mario Wonder and realised how amazing TF is. Wonder pales in comparison.

Burn Konami for putting Zero Effort into this, and mainly how you treated the Switch physical release having zero MGS game on Cartridge!!!!!! Why is is so difficult to polish a game before release?! Any company that does this deserves low sales to learn their lessons. This is a flagship franchise for Konami and this shows what people are employed at the top! Those should be fired!!!!!!
