Geez, everyone is so negative here. Mr. Horii is a legend and Square Enix work on Dragon Quest 2DHD has been phenomenal. I believe that they could do a great remake as long as Kato isn't involved.
I mostly get motion sickness by the source engine (Portal, Half-life 2). I can understand how DKB can make people dizzy, but I have thankfully not experienced any symptoms.
Leaving in the original team in Zelda remakes credits while removing the original team in DK and Metroid Prime is borderline xenophobia. It feels very SEGA in the 90s.
@gcunit Lucas had full and much more control over the prequels than the originals, and they're universally agreed to be worse than the originals. The only thing I can agree on is that the sequels might have been less worse than Disneys take.
I'm thinking a hack and slash dungeon crawler would fit well, like Ys origin. Otherwise any kind of Brawler would work with minimal puzzling, like Bayonetta or God of War.
His mission would be to gather power, and beat an even more demonic evil in order to get it. It would be interesting for Ganon to interact with neutral demonic characters as well. I'm thinking like how Firebrand from the Gargoyles quest games interact with other demonic beings.
I would dislike a game where you fight good people, like the King, Zelda or Link, but a rival Sheikah warrior or competing Gerudo leader would be cool to fight.
@Owozifa Yes, sorry, novel game is what it's also called in Japan. I understand completely what you mean, and I agree with most of it, but the thing is that genres also get retroactively changed because the gaming landscape has changed. Doom for example was the original "Doom-like" then FPS, and now FPS has been so evolved that Doom is far from the norm, today we would call it a boomer shooter. What used to be the gold standard of visual novels in turn, has in itself turned into a sub genre of the visual novel brand.
When Phoenix Wright entered the market, there wasn't anything like it, so that's why we fit it under the adventure brand, it was closer to old school point and clickers.
I think the Steam definition of visual novel as a genre is more useful than the very narrow definition of visual novels of old. PW and Danganronpa are more interactive, but 90% of the experience is still just reading to understand the story.
@Owozifa the term visual novel or visual game wasn't really standardised before the English description was popularized through channels like steam, and more Japanese are using this new definition. It should be noted that Visual Novels evolved out of adventure game where less and less interactivity was implemented compared to English point n clickers.
Jason Schreier was pretty clear that pyoros responses would be featured in the story. Pyoro should have told Schreier to remain anonymous if he wanted to be. This is all on Pyoro.
The guy is allowed to voice his opinions about a game he was a part of on his private twitter account. A little criticism won't take the enjoyment out of the game.
I'm 32 years, owned a NES, played all the Zelda games and have actually finished Zelda II. It is that bad, and it's based on my opinion and not some kind of conspiratory anti-hype like the other comments are making it out to be.
I've always seen Kirkhope as the video game answer to Danny Elfman. Listen to the Beetlejuice theme for example, or even the Simpsons theme with that central tritone. Very Banjo-Kazooie.

It's controversial among fans, but I thoroughly enjoyed Steins;Gate Elite on the switch and it was my gateway drug into the series.

It does look a bit like the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 art.

Re: Random: Chris Pratt's Mario Movie Voice Was Initially Deemed Too "Tony Soprano"
I play Mario games for hours. I could probably handle 90 minutes of Martinet.

Re: Best Visual Novels For Nintendo Switch
Can't believe Fata Morgana isn't here when Worlds End Syndrome can stay up. Better rewrite this article.
2064 is also one of the best Western VN I've ever played. Excellent storytelling and music.
