@NeonPizza fair. There are some times when I visit a museum and wish I lived way back when. I'm not salty about it, though. I've learned to accept what I have.
@ManaOwls I get the sentiment, but if you thought Nintendo was perfect before the Switch, you might wanna get a history book. The 3DS and Wii U era especially was abysmal. I love the 3DS, but it wasn't until halfway through the Switchs life that we saw how good it was because of how awful the 2010s were. 2016 was their worst year, period. The only thing I see wrong with this Direct are the new storage requirements and the continued use of NSO. Otherwise, Nintendo is still the same they were 40 years ago: making great new games we will cherish for years to come. At the end of the day, it's the games that matter.
@Lizuka @Kazman2007 imo, the HD version is worse. The visuals were bloated, and there was so much bloom, not to mention that the only meaningful change was the Triforce hunt at the end.
Even if I still played,I would stick to the original. In fact, I would actually stick to the pre-2017 version, since that has those epic mini games (with the music they remixed in Smash).
The only thing I got out of this as someone who has never played any of these is that all of them now have lower ratings, which is especially noticeable on the top 100 list. XC1 is no longer in the top 20 (Majora's Mask now occupies that spot), XC2 is in the bottom 20 (where it's apparently worse than Oracle of Seasons, Luigis Mansion 1, and Mario Kart Double Dash), and XCX is no longer on the list at all (Star Fox 64 3D took its place). Makes me wish Nintendolife would repost that list so that I can beg for more 9s and 10s for Mariokart DS, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Kid Icarus Uprising, and Wario Land 4 in order to push them onto the list.
I'm playing through FE Blazing Blade, and, hoo boi, am I feeling that. It feels like complete luck sometimes. Can't wait to do this TEN MORE TIMES (the double count is both versions of Shadow Dragon, not both non-DLC Fates routes. I don't have enough respect for Fates to play Conquest).
@OctoCallie20 looking back, the Mario Movie was actually Illuminations 2nd best after Despicable Me 1, and I would genuinely rewatch it over Sonic 2 (especially after Sonic 3).
@OctoCallie20 the fact you think Pyra and Mythra were the only good DLC additions (even if their slot WAS deserved) is a good way for you to lose credibility.

At that point, just get eShop gift cards.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
@NeonPizza isn't that just how the 80s and 90s were, period?

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Priced At $449.99 For The Base Console
Better start saving.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
@Tendogamerxxx I dunno, man. I got it last year and thought it was fun. You just gotta get used to it.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
@Yoshi3 with the way Air Ride played, you should look into this. That game was BONKERS (pun intended).
Re: Donkey Kong: Bananza, A New 3D DK Adventure, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
If I see one comment about how K Rool is absent or how Wise/Kirkhope isn't composing the music, so help me. . .
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
@Clammy Air Ride was better than Double Dash, imo. Plus, they can coexist.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
@thenikdavies fun fact: Mario Kart Double Dash, Kirby Air Ride, and Fzero GX all released in 2003. This isn't the first time.
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
@Jack_Goetz honestly, I actually liked sailing for longer. It gave me time to appreciate the sunsets.

Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
AND NOW WE KNOW WHY AIR RIDE WASNT THERE LESGO
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
@Friendly those games absolutely do not need remasters.
Neither did Wind Waker, if I'm being honest. They're perfect the way they are.
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
I legit almost cried. Path of Radiance finally got a second chance.
Re: Drag x Drive Puts The Rocket League Into Wheelchair Basketball
@N00BiSH absolutely not.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of the Wild And Tears Of The Kingdom Will Be Enhanced With Switch 2
As someone who has yet to play both, despite playing the majority of other Zelda titles, I know which version I'm getting.
Re: 'Mario Kart World' Looks Absolutely Awesome In Debut Switch 2 Trailer
Read em and weep, Double Dash stans.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of The Minecraft Movie Are In
So basically, the next Bee Movie.
Re: Halo: Master Chief Collection For Switch 2 May Not Launch In Its 'Complete' Form
I'm an idiot who actually likes 4 and doesn't care about which visuals are used, so I would get both.
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds Classic SNES And N64 Soundtracks, Here's Every Song Included
Thats great, but where are GP Legend and Climax?
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
Honestly, I'm just gonna let them surprise me.
Re: After Copying Smash's Homework, MultiVersus Publisher Was Apparently Turning To Mario Kart Next
@axelhander while I still love Smash, this is exactly why I steer far, FAR away from competitive.
And also why I actually don't like Melee.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds 23 Kirby Switch Songs, With Rest Coming "Later This Year"
Also, Return to Dreamland Deluxe soon, please?
Re: Nintendo Music Adds 23 Kirby Switch Songs, With Rest Coming "Later This Year"
I mean, they cover most of the good ones. Only one I'm salty about is Decisive Battle: Ultimate Z.
Re: Minecraft Is Getting A Graphics Upgrade
Even if I still played,I would stick to the original. In fact, I would actually stick to the pre-2017 version, since that has those epic mini games (with the music they remixed in Smash).
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch Has A New 'Sex' Warning, But Why?
@Not_Soos or Taco Bell 🤣🤣🤣
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch Has A New 'Sex' Warning, But Why?
@Divide_and_Wander that's sarcasm, right?
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch Has A New 'Sex' Warning, But Why?
@IceCatraz last I checked, that was about as slang as crap or idiot, at least for me.
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch Has A New 'Sex' Warning, But Why?
P***ks? That one doesn't ring a bell. Is that European slang?
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's SNES Library With Four More Titles
@rwalsh6882 what other N64 games are there?
GOOD N64 games, I mean.
Re: 'Persona 4 Reload' Seems Imminent, But We Still Need The Third Entry
Why? Golden looks fine. Also, didn't Reload get backlash for its visuals and lack of content from Portable?
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch) - An Underrated Gem Transforms Into The Series' Best
@LUIGITORNADO what's boring for someone is peak for another.
As someone who loves Kirby and is just getting into Fire Emblem, but hates Pokemon with a fiery passion, I know that all too well.
Re: Plants vs. Zombies Looks Set To Be Revived And 'Reloaded' On Switch
I'm cautiously optimistic about this. It sounds nice, but PVZ has been in the gutter since BFNs launch.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Dream Pokémon LEGO Set?
None. Tell me when they make a Fire Emblem chess set instead.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch) - An Underrated Gem Transforms Into The Series' Best
Noice. Too bad I'm busy with Fire Emblem now. I'll pick it up later, though. Both franchises deserve more respect from Nintendo fans.
Re: Best Xenoblade Chronicles Games Of All Time
The only thing I got out of this as someone who has never played any of these is that all of them now have lower ratings, which is especially noticeable on the top 100 list.

Re: Opinion: Against All Odds - Why Does RPG RNG Hate Me?
I'm playing through FE Blazing Blade, and, hoo boi, am I feeling that. It feels like complete luck sometimes. Can't wait to do this TEN MORE TIMES (the double count is both versions of Shadow Dragon, not both non-DLC Fates routes. I don't have enough respect for Fates to play Conquest).
Re: Poll: What's The Best Xenoblade Game? Rate Your Favourite For Our Upcoming Ranking
As of currently, my favorite Xenoblade is Smash Ultimate 😁.
Jokes aside, I plan on getting 1 DE and X DE before fall, so I can't wait for that.

Re: Poll: So, What’s Your Verdict On The Mario Movie Trailer?
@OctoCallie20 looking back, the Mario Movie was actually Illuminations 2nd best after Despicable Me 1, and I would genuinely rewatch it over Sonic 2 (especially after Sonic 3).
Re: Final Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Fighter Will Be Revealed October 5th
@OctoCallie20 the fact you think Pyra and Mythra were the only good DLC additions (even if their slot WAS deserved) is a good way for you to lose credibility.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Players Report Language-Specific Glitch That Ruins The Final Boss
@OctoCallie20 it's actually the least glitchy and broken Zelda game on Switch. I never encountered a single problem.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Will Have "Various Quality-Of-Life Enhancements", Nintendo Says
@OctoCallie20 button controls. Reduced Fi. No dousing required. 60 fps.
You don't even need the amiibo.
Re: Stranded Sails Channels Zelda And Harvest Moon In A New Open-World Farming Adventure
@Olddantrucker this comment has zero credibility whatsoever.
Re: The First Review For Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Now In
@Olddantrucker this comment sounds like a skill issue.
And don't pretend OOT didn't do stuff like this.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Tops "Best Seller" Chart On Amazon
@Olddantrucker it's linearity is actually the reason it's one of my favorites. Open worlds are so tedious and boring.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Tops "Best Seller" Chart On Amazon
@Olddantrucker not all Nintendo fans are like that. In fact, I steer far away from those kinds of "fans."
Re: Video: Here's Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Looking Stunning In 4K, 60FPS
@Olddantrucker and moving forward in the "comments that did not age well" exhibit, we have this comment.
