It would be funny if this is what causes them to patch windbombs

They could have put it almost anywhere and it really wouldn't make a difference, but it's nice that it's together with the other 2D games.

This explanation doesn't make sense to me because the way they have it now actually discourages using new echoes. Because scrolling is so cumbersome, you just stick to using the last few you used a lot of the time.

I hope it doesn't turn out too similar. ALBW was an amazing game but it could have been so much better if it had its own map.

@Spider-Kev To be fair, the game doesn't tell you his name, it just shows a guy in a horse in Link's dream. And Ganon never showed up as a human in-game before this point.

Kind of curious what temple they're referring to, they all seemed fine to me.

I never understood why they stopped doing evolutions of Pokemon from past games, glad that it's becoming so common again.

Does that mean the copyright strike is gone too?

You can't look at this and not say that someone at the team said "make one of the gym leaders a vtuber"

@Abeedo True, I always appreciate it when devs decide to focus on the best part of the game instead of including everything that's "supposed" to be in the game of that genre. To be fair there weren't many run-and-gun levels so they were a nice change of pace without being too much.

This is good news, but I don't think it's in anyone's best interest to have two circuits going on at the same time. It just feels completely arbitrary how some tournaments are a part of one circuit and not the other. And the best part of a circuit is that the whole year comes down to one finale, but now there's two finales one week after the other, which is very confusing and anti-climactic. I just wish they thought this through and instead tried to plan together with SWT to make something that's best for the community.

Octo Expansion was incredible, I could never enjoy the story mode in the first 2 games, but I loved this DLC. I really hope Splatoon 3's is more like Octo Expansion.

This would be great, I always have trouble keeping track of where my team members are and how many are alive.

It could have gone either way, but after Scarlet/Violet were announced for this year, I would have been surprised if it DIDN'T get delayed.

Is it one of those demos that lets you transfer progress to the actual game?

So you have to sit there for 5 minutes doing nothing every time before they spawn anything special?

I swear I tried that and nothing happened, so I continued the whole game waiting to unlock something that broke the rocks. Maybe I just missed or maybe not all Pokemon work?

This is pretty standard for Nintendo, but it's still disappointing that they're so secretive that they would won't even tell the actors what's going on in the movie. Is stopping spoilers more important than the voice actors having context for their lines?

Of course it was, didn't we already know that it started out as a dungeon editor?

Where are all those people that say "Nintendo only takes down remakes" every time something like this happens?

why was this so good

Don't really get any of the negative responses to this. After constantly seeing how Nintendo treats content creators, this seems really good. Any sort of effort to listen and collaborate is great, but getting a whole discord dedicated to it where even program managers can see their comments is a whole different level. That's as direct as support can get. It's free advertisement so I don't get why more companies don't do what they can to help their biggest fans who make videos for them. (Of course I have no idea how good this creator's program will be, if at all, but just the fact that this is the first time I've heard of something like this is notable to me)

That's really good to hear. It's always refreshing when a company openly admits its faults and makes changes instead of pretending the problem isn't there.

I'm glad they said controls are unresponsive because there were so many times where I swore it happened to me. That really is a deal-breaker in a game that expects such fast reactions to the pills.

Weirdly enough, I would be pretty happy with this. I kinda don't feel like playing through Prime 2 and 3 again, but I might be enticed by a better version of Prime 1 (or at least I hope it's at least better than the original after 4+ years)

Oh wow, I never put too much thought into these things, I just assumed they were always in the same spots. I wonder if someone's going to try to datamine to find patterns.

Ah yes, Samus Returns, everyone's favorite remake of Metroid Prime 2

I was not expecting to see a blonde Dawn today

It's always been "Figh", Nintendo has made that very clear ever since the E3 it was first shown, idk why so many people say "Fee"

I don't think people are upset about these games being added, it's more so that Nintendo is taking forever to add some really important titles, especially ones that they already released on VC and could easily do so on NSO.

@anoyonmus I know, I was responding to the quote where he said Nintendo may release Prime Trilogy close to the release of Prime 4, whenever that is.

I just really hope they don't release Prime Trilogy too close to Prime 4. I feel like this is the kind of game that needs to sit there for a year or two to give people time to pick it up and become 3D Metroid fans. If they release it too close, people may be turned off becuase they don't have time to play 3 games before the new one.

I'm okay with this as long as it's a big ambitious new game instead of a really safe platformer.

There's so many Nintendo games you can reasonably complain about being $60 like Kirby Star Allies, NSMBU Deluxe, 3D All-Stars, SSHD a bunch of Wii U ports, etc

How did Metroid Dread become the one to get targeted like this? Dread is the most worth it by far, especially if turns out as good as it looks.

The Danganronpa devs really love including a ton of unnecessary gameplay segments that add nothing and kill the pacing even more. I was always afraid that the platforming in this game was like that, but it looks like it's even worse now because it's a significant portion of the game.

That would be the most humorous outcome after all this

Didn't they used to announce their E3 plans months in advance? I remember being used to seeing the schedule way before E3 was even close.

I don't think Super Nintendo Switch is a good name but it's the best one out of the commonly thrown-around names.

I would take anything as long as it's not New Nintendo Switch lol

Nobody is finding this "surprising", amiibo have been doing this for a long time, it's just sad to see Nintendo take it even further for Zelda games than it was before.

That would be amazing. But I don't fault Nintendo for not doing something like this. Literally all I ask is them to not shut down harmless projects their fans make.

Definitely WarioWare

Temple of the Ocean King was actually my favorite part of this game. So many new shortcuts and areas open up every time you come back that it's a new experience each time. It's also satisfying to slowly get better at it and save as much time as possible. You can even get to the end with the max time remaining if you plan it out.

Everything else about this game is really safe and by the book though. I disagree that it tries new stuff, except for some short-lived gimmicks. The dungeons are probably the most boring and straightforward in the entire series. I didn't have any problem with the controls, not sure why it gets so many complaints about that. Overall it's a pretty standard Zelda to me that really isn't much more than "Zelda on DS". Spirit Tracks was decently better in some ways.

I did a double take when scrolling and seeing Apollo Justice golfing lol

@KingMike I think the amount of EXP needed on NES is just right, I always end up reaching max level at or before the final palace before the Great Palace. Either way it's a lot better than losing multiple levels instead of just your current exp. I actually like Tektites being weak to Fire, because that spell is pretty useless otherwise.

That's just me though.

Zelda 1 and 2 are definitely better on the NES. Famicom Zelda 1 has awful load times and Famicom Zelda 2 makes you lose levels when you game over. The minor advantages are not nearly enough to make up for that.

I agree with everything else though.

This is probably the most replayable Zelda game because it's short, starts right away, and is so open that you can make each playthrough different. Special runs like 3-heart and Swordless work so well and feel like a completely new experience because of all the options you have. And if you memorize it too much and get bored of it, there's always Second Quest.

Unfortunately this game's accessibility is ruined by Nintendo's greed in selling strategy guides so it will always be underappreciated despite being available on all modern Nintendo consoles.

Just from watching the trailer, it already has more convenience features than Animal Crossing. Looks great.

Ganon is a side note in this game. Pretty easy compared to the other stuff you face, and nothing happens in the ending anyway. The best part is just exploring.

The graphics look like they copied a little too much from Minish Cap

For a split second I thought "Fluffruit" was going to be a new Pokemon introduced in Snap
