@ChromaticDracula they really are. While it doesn't have that cheeky self-confident power fantasy aura of Castlevania, its very gothic direction and classical European religious themes makes it an easy recommendation for Castlevania fans who are curious about soulslike metroidvanias.
I would like to see Ganondorf as a kind of anti-hero protagonist. Not fighting against Zelda and Link, but battling ancient evil gods to gain more power. It would be interesting if he had support from Din or The sand goddess, as a kind of "there cannot be good without evil"-story.
This guy is almost two meters and has an impressive masculine form. He will probably tower over the youths that play Link and Zelda. Seems like they made a good casting decision.
FF7 Remake was unnecessary padded. 5 hours in the original game took 30 in the remake. The developers of these games put such arbitrary limitations that isn't really needed.
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.
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.
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.
Unless they wanted to depict E. Honda as an imperialistic nationalist (and in turn Japanese imperialism as a neutral ideology) it was a good decision to remove the rising sun.
@Averagewriter none of the articles you posted named Anita Sarkeesian as a reason for those people getting fired, I can't find it at least. Maybe you're thinking of someone else?
@Averagewriter Sarkeesian is the one saying things you don't like, and Naughty Dog is harmed by anti-SJWs for having a different opinion? Is that what you mean?

Re: Talking Point: So, How Are You Liking The Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Demo?

Re: Talking Point: So, How Are You Liking The Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Demo?
In the realm of soulslike Metroidvanias, I vastly prefer Blasphemous.
I also feel like a boomer when I say this, but why are the characters so zoomed out and the text so small? Why is this a trend?
Difficulty and gameplay was decent. I didn't care for the story, they talked way too much.
I will still play it through, I need to see more.

Copenhagen or Stockholm please.

Re: Mega Man Series Producer Says Capcom Would Love To Revisit Mega Man X
Remake X-X4, then create a new timeline so we can ignore the plot of the other games.
Re: Talking Point: 'Pokopia 2' Feels Inevitable, But Do We Really Need A Sequel?
And I'm over here waiting for Dragon Quest Builders 3...

Re: Review: Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties (Switch 2) - Maybe It's Time To Take A Break
It's very simple. I don't buy games with Kagawa in them. When the game is patched officially, I might take a second look. Maybe.
Re: Censored Dispatch Artwork Spotted On Nintendo's Digital Storefront
The US are already getting used to redactions and censorship. The dispatch team is just getting with the times.

Re: Mario + Rabbids Director Recalls "Fantastic" Time With Nintendo, Would Be Open To Collab Again
Mr. Soliani should pitch a new Xcom Mario to Nintendo, without the Ubi IP.

Re: Mini Review: Vampire Survivors: Ode To Castlevania (Switch) - Divine DLC Is Absolutely Essential
Vampire survivors is absolutely essential. One of my favourite games ever, and this DLC has been a blast so far. Excellent stuff.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two More Titles
I hope that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio returns to the series for a new entry.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Director Davide Soliani Leaves Ubisoft After 25 Years
Nintendo, hire this man.

Re: Working On F-Zero GX Taught Producer Toshihiro Nagoshi How To "Satisfy A Fanbase"
F-Zero GX2 would really be something.
Re: Metroid Prime Engineer "Let Down" By Exclusion Of Original Credits In Remaster
Imagine if retranslations of books or remasters of films had the same attitude of not crediting the original crew.

Re: UK Government Warns It "Will Not Hesitate To Consider Legislation" Against Loot Boxes
It also prays on adults. I think it should be banned altogether.
Re: Jun Senoue To Adapt Some Of Sonic 3's Music For Sonic Origins
I mean, Buxer is the primary composer behind ice cap zone, couldn't SEGA strike a deal with him alone without Jacksons estate?

Oh boy! Three new pachinko machines?! We're spoiled!
Re: Round Up: The Rune Factory 5 Reviews Are In
@Anti-Matter maybe Rune Factory just isn't for you.
Re: Kit And Krysta Reveal Their Least Favourite Mario And Zelda Games
Obviously Zelda 2 is the worst, but I do agree about Mario Sunshine.

Probably my favourite VN of all time.
Re: Rune Factory 5 Will Feature Same-Sex Marriage In The West
@Clarice there are still straight options dude.
And they're going to patch in gay marriage in the Japanese version later.
Re: Capcom Facing $12 Million Lawsuit For Allegedly Using Artist's Photos Without Permission
I would argue the logo is transformative work, it's barely recognizable from the original image.
Re: Sakurai Addresses High Volume Of Sword Fighters In Smash (Again), Reminds Fans It's Not His Call
I've seen a lot of complainers, many of them never having played a Xenoblade game before.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
Triggering right-wingers seems to draw lots of traffic to Nintendo Life. 500 comments this time, impressive!
Btw. Capcom should have gone with the sun from SFV instead of a blank wall. It looks so dull without one.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
Unless they wanted to depict E. Honda as an imperialistic nationalist (and in turn Japanese imperialism as a neutral ideology) it was a good decision to remove the rising sun.
Re: Don't Buy Devil Engine, Say Game's Artist And Musician
@dew12333 why not?
Re: Same-Gender Marriage Will Apparently Be Available In Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town
The Sims had same-sex romance options long before there were same-sex marriage in western countries. Just saying.
