Am I the only one not getting a true Zelda vibe from Echoes? It is somehow lacking that LoZ charm despite the world is similar to other games in the series. I more consider it a spin-off due to the lack of fighting and other types of game mechanics
To be really honest I am not that crazy about the game. The cartoonish look is not my favorite, but so far everything is mapped out for the player, the game completely takes you by the hand
I used the duplication glitch (throw twice while jumping) to get more rupees and also to duplicate large zonaites. This made getting the full energy cells (16 in total) a lot quicker (even though it was still a lot of work)
These rankings become somewhat predictable. General consensus is OoT is the best Zelda Game, closely followe by BotW, so every time an aspect of Zelda is ranked, these two end up on places 1 and 2 (okay: except maybe for dungeons, but BotW does not really have dungeons).
Can’t wait event though not a big fan of mechanical devices and vehicles in Zelda games. It seems the Guardians are gone which is good because I hate them.
Why on earth do you leave the original Super Mario Theme out of the selection? That piece of music is catchy, has quite an interesting harmony and purely iconic!
This is my first experience with a game like this and maybe I am comparing too much with Breath of the Wild but Link’s movements are too swift and light and it also bothers me the game needs to load elements that are in the distance whenever you approach them. That looks just plain ugly. Also, the different key combinations and the info shown on the screen are somewhat confusing.
Learning Japanese, I can also inform you Japanese text takes less space than English or any other languages written with a latin alphabet, so there is even more to it...
I only tested Super Mario 3 so far, but it seems to have an annoying bug in all 3 screen modes: a big line on the left of the screen (mostly light blue) and scrolling to the right shows a weird discolorazation on the right side of the screen, like pixels still need to form. Does anyone else have this and is it the same with other games?

So how can you upgrade if you own physical copies of the game?

Re: Nintendo On Inappropriate Use Of Its IP And Games: "Action Must Be Taken"
Here in Amsterdam there is a smartshop that sells weed and other types of drugs that uses Mario as a logo smoking weed and the store is even called Mario Where can I notify Nintendo about this?
This is their logo: https://dutchsmartshops.com/uploads/73/72/c30087c59a40f237ad8facb17b4f639a-1920x1080.jpeg
Re: Zelda Live-Action Movie Director: "I Want To Fulfil People's Greatest Desires"
Well at least they found a decent enough writer in Derek Connolly. I thought his work on the Jurassic World trilogie was quite entertaining.

Re: Random: Zelda Devs Reveal Which Link They Think Is The Stinkiest
I wonder how big Link’s pockets are so he can carry alle that stuff…
Re: The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom amiibo Is Now Available, Did You Get It?
Here in Japan it is only sold at the official Nintendo Store so far. Yodabashi and Big Camera don’t have it yet.
Re: Zelda Devs Confirm The Return Of Fan-Favourite Feature In TOTK
I sense quite some unfriendliness towards a person who does not post often here and has a simple request. Unnecessarily blunt.
Re: Zelda Devs Confirm The Return Of Fan-Favourite Feature In TOTK
Okay, that is a thing I did not want to know, despite the spoiler warning.
Lovely people from NL: could you please ad a ‘spoiler’ warning in the title of future news posts like these?
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Franchise Should Illumination Tackle Next?
Zelda! Duh! Live action won’t work so animation would be perfect.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Bros. Movie, And They're All Over The Place
Being a movie critic and less of a game fan I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I am a Mario fan though.
Re: Rumour: Charles Martinet's Role In The Mario Movie May Have Been Revealed
Having seen the movie as a critic I can confirm this. Fans won’t be disappointed.

@Snatcher then please stop referring to the construction toy as ‘Legos’.

Re: Video: Five Features Included With The Nintendo Switch Online Membership
I can’t believe they are still offering NES games where they should be at the level of GameCube games by now. NES games were so Wii...
