@Steel76 I was actually thinking that as I watched the trailer. It kinda looks like an interconnected world similar to Lego 2K Drive. I just hope track design doesn't suffer if they go this route.
@NFrealinkling yeah, it's nothing amazing. Dragon Roost, the Great Sea, and Molgera all made it to the Smash playlist for a reason, and the final battle and credits are really good, but overall, a tad weak. Still glad it's here, though.
I remember hearing about it from my classmates back in the 6th grade, but I had just got an Xbox One S, so I didn't care. Now, my Series X collects dust while my Switch Lite gets all the attention.
@Yoshi3 actually, Majora broke that tradition. The Oracle games, Four Swords Adventures, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks also didn't use gold covers.
Played a little of World yesterday, and. . .yeah, it's not #1. I still love it, but there are some instances where it's a bit too janky. Still top 5 (and leagues better than SMB3), but not my absolute favorite.
Had this been any previous year, I would've flunked, but since I'm going full Nintendo over the next few years (pray for my soul as I attempt to obtain a copy of Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn), I did pretty good.
@MetalKingShield Nintendo would never retcon their own games. I'd rather we get remakes of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, and tbh, I don't care if Nintendo FFVII's them (make them different games entirely) as long as they keep the stories intact, because they deserve as much recognition as their prequel.
Just got Mario vs. DK for Christmas, and. . .it's fine. I've also played Peach Showtime and Echoes of Wisdom this year, and they're also fine (in fact, Echoes is prob in the top 10 of the 21 mainline Zeldas). 2024 overall was fine.

Pokemon fans be like: I'll get 27 Happy Meals, please.
Side note: I just saw that the author is a Prequels fan, and all I gotta say is. . .
HELLO THERE
Re: Random: Donkey Kong Country's Artist Reacts To Nintendo's Redesign
@Yoshi3 as a bonafide American patriot, I agree with this. My country is so over reactive sometimes.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds Another SNES Banger, Here's Every Song Included
@YunoboCo yeah, like. . .shudders. . .YOSHIS NEW ISLAND.
ok, I unironically liked the grass theme and Bandit Valley from that game.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds Another SNES Banger, Here's Every Song Included
Over DS or Wii? Ok. . .
Still a better SNES soundfont than LTTP, though.

@Serpenterror and then for some reason, TOTK stole Nuts n Bolts' building mechanic, and nobody noticed.

SO DO IT MICROSOFT
Re: Best Lord Of The Rings Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems
Sigh. . .Star Wars games have always been better, just like the films. We should've stopped with the books.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Mario Kart 64
Sigh. . .the worst box art for the second worst Mariokart. . .
(Don't worry, I still enjoy battle mode)

Baby Park. Nuff said.

Spirit Tracks, as soon as it gets here. Been working on the Mario RPG remake, DK94, and Galaxy 2 in the meantime.

@Kiliomp IT. IS. A. PROTOTYPE.
Re: New Mario Kart 9 Teased For Switch 2
@Steel76 I was actually thinking that as I watched the trailer. It kinda looks like an interconnected world similar to Lego 2K Drive. I just hope track design doesn't suffer if they go this route.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer Gives First Official Look At The New Console
@FragRed it looks like a prototype build. We may get a more official look in April.

Re: Nintendo Asks Wii U Owners To Refrain From Using "Unauthorised" Online Services
I thought they were done with the Wii U. Not to mention Wii U owners know the risks.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (Switch) - Aping A Retro Classic
Really makes me wonder if this will sell well at all.
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
@Liam_Doolan oops. I'm dumb. 😂😂
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included

Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
You missed Mario 64.
Re: 8 Years Ago Today, We First Got Our Hands On Nintendo Switch

Re: Poll: Are There Any Good Lord Of The Rings Games On Nintendo Consoles?
The best Lord of the Rings game is Lego Dimensions.
Re: Feature: 8 Games That Defined The Switch Generation
Now that the Switch era is basically near its end, y'all should repost the Best Nintendo Consoles list from 2018.
Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor
Mario 64 is on the music app. Might wanna cover that.
Re: Rumour: Insider Claims That Halo: Master Chief Collection Will Come To 'Switch 2'
@Jeronan honestly, I think most fans would be fine with separate releases for all five games if that's the case.
Re: Rumour: Insider Claims That Halo: Master Chief Collection Will Come To 'Switch 2'
INSTANT BUY
Also, I am a Halo 4 defender and always will be.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Trailer Sheds Light On Its Story
Not me about to blast Pink Ball Activate from Kirby Planet Robobot while riding a Skell.
Re: Talking Point: Everyone Else Is Busy Revealing Switch 2 - What Gives, Nintendo?
@shgamer Fzero alone would make it worth buying.
You know it'll happen 😉
Re: Talking Point: Everyone Else Is Busy Revealing Switch 2 - What Gives, Nintendo?
Keep in mind that we knew about funny screen controller months before E3 2011.
Re: Tencent Labeled A "Chinese Military Company" By US Government
Maybe they know something that we don't. You never know with China 😜
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Donkey Kong Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
. . .why?
Even as someone who has 3 as their second favorite DKC game, why would you do this?
Re: Digital Foundry Weighs In On 'Switch 2' Motherboard - Just How Powerful Is It?
I just need it to run Nintendo games. That is all I ask.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (4th January)
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
Linebeck is a dirt bag.
Re: Nintendo's Punch-Out!! Series May Be Dead And Buried For Good
As much as it hurts to say, I genuinely think ARMS has more potential as a franchise.
Re: Random: After Almost 25 Years, Majora's Mask's Blue Underdog Has Finally Nabbed A Racing Win
Cool.
NOW DO IT FOR THE 3DS VERSION.
Re: Talking Point: Our 2025 Nintendo Gaming Predictions
I predict games.
Re: Feature: Biggest Nintendo Gaming Anniversaries Of 2025
I literally just got Metroid Prime Pinball.
Also, NSMB DS is 20 and Kirby Planet Robobot is 10 next year. 😬
Re: New Patent Seemingly Confirms Nvidia 4K AI Upscaling For Switch 2
As long as it's not in the games, I'm good.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link
@Yoshi3 actually, Majora broke that tradition. The Oracle games, Four Swords Adventures, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks also didn't use gold covers.
Edit: and Triforce Heroes
Re: Best Metroid Games Of All Time
Even though I've yet to play either, Prime Hunters under Other M is something I will never accept.
Also, Prime Pinball is a genuinely good pinball game.
Re: Best Super Mario Games Of All Time
Played a little of World yesterday, and. . .yeah, it's not #1. I still love it, but there are some instances where it's a bit too janky. Still top 5 (and leagues better than SMB3), but not my absolute favorite.
Re: How Well Do You Remember 2024? Nintendo Life's End-Of-Year Gaming Quiz
Had this been any previous year, I would've flunked, but since I'm going full Nintendo over the next few years (pray for my soul as I attempt to obtain a copy of Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn), I did pretty good.
Re: Random: Sonic 3's Movie Writers Would Love To Adapt Zelda: Wind Waker To The Big Screen
@MetalKingShield Nintendo would never retcon their own games. I'd rather we get remakes of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, and tbh, I don't care if Nintendo FFVII's them (make them different games entirely) as long as they keep the stories intact, because they deserve as much recognition as their prequel.
Re: Random: Sonic 3's Movie Writers Would Love To Adapt Zelda: Wind Waker To The Big Screen
as Palpatine would say:
D E W I T
Seriously, though, I just finished this game, and that ending was freaking nuts. It's not my absolute favorite Zelda, but it might be top 5.
Re: Best Of 2024: 20 Years On, Pikmin 2's Waterwraith Remains Nintendo's Scariest Moment
I have yet to play Pikmin, but I recall this being one of the few things Schafferillas liked about Pikmin 2.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2024
Just got Mario vs. DK for Christmas, and. . .it's fine. I've also played Peach Showtime and Echoes of Wisdom this year, and they're also fine (in fact, Echoes is prob in the top 10 of the 21 mainline Zeldas). 2024 overall was fine.
