I find it super creepy. I wish he'd made them change it. In a weird way though it's more that I find Mario quite creepy in that context. Rather than the population of New Donk.
@Damo I heard that the clamshell does not actually protect the screens, having brought back the orginal's cardinal sin of allowing the controls to touch the top screen, and marking it. Did you see any evidence of this?
@aaronsullivan I'm no hater! I think the name is just fine - I just wish people would abbreviate it to XOX, which I think is adorable.
I've also never wanted an Xbox as much as the XOX. Its a lot of pay cheques away, but I'm really keen to build a 4K home theater system and the XOX goes right along with that.
Can't think why this would even be a question. Switch strikes me as the best possible platform, and the only platform I would buy this on, due to time and tv constraints.
@Shiryu That's really good news , thanks - I had been wondering about that - playing with a toy always attached to the controller seemed off-putting to me.
It was amazing, but I finished the ending when I realised I was getting bored, and was hunting materials through some pretty repetitive tasks to change stats on items that were plenty powerful enough.
Something wild would have to be changed or enhanced to make me commit so much time to that gameplay loop again. Hopefully there will be a return to more traditional dungeons, and more crafted content in the future.
And I really miss the magic of previous Zelda's. Having the dragons as nothing more than pretty archery targets is kind of sad.
I've always been so tempted to play this, but the time it requires is beyond me. I had thought the portability of the Switch would open it up for me, but I'm still reluctant to commit.
I was so interested in Horizon in the hype phase, but the closer it got to release and the more I found out he less I cared. Many of the Western RPG tropes, dialogue styles and open world design patterns bore me.
his discussion has reignited my interest! One day on a sale perhaps!
I personally loved Skyward Sword, and would still love to see more of that. Because it was fairly linear, although I've never thought it was especially more linear than many others, it was incredibly well crafted. Breath of the Wild is very, very special, but I maybe because of that i don't necessarily want the next one to follow too closely in its footsteps.
Maybe time to follow up on Link Between Worlds.
In the meantime, I'm much more interested in what's next for Metroid!

Re: Original Journey To Bring Pencil Art Shooting To Switch

Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
None at all. Go buy a Wii U. I did. It's really great.
Now ask me about Wii remasters. It would be a very long list, starting with Sin And Punishment 2.
