@MonadoBoy The quest itself starts fine, but if I never see another black liver bean again it will be too soon. And if I do ever see one again then I'll be surprised, because they're so freaking rare

Listen guys, I know we all love Xenoblade Chronicles, but rebuilding colony 6 is horrible.

So what? A really untalented developer could make a really terrible Mario game. We already saw what an untalented developer could do with Zelda back in the 90s

@Polley001 it's the 9th Mario Kart game and calling it Mario Kart 9 is shorter than any of the "less divisive" options you've laid out.

@Dr_Corndog So they're just bringing back the Wii? I can dig it.

@ShaneReactions that's the second time I've seen the word "schtum"

oh cool and maybe Jordan Peterson will make a tower defense game yay

Ewww yucky bleh

@-wc- As the Wii U is one of my favorite consoles of all time, I can get behind that.

@-wc- The PS2's numbers would be more impressive if it wasn't also one of the cheapest DVD players you could get for a few key years.

I stopped caring about this game ten years ago. I stopped wanting this game when I saw the trailer 7 years ago. At this point I want them to retroactively unrelease the original and I am willing to lose at least some portion of my soul in a black magic ritual to make it happen if necessary.

@garfreek If you're not aware, all of the locations are hand built dioramas and they're gorgeous.

Where's "The Last Story," Mistwalker? Huh? I got muh Xenoblade Chronicles X, I need more now! (TLS is so underrated, I never hear anyone talk about it.)

Listen guys I gotta' be real, I'm not one of those fps clowns but this thing is like barely running at 0.23 fps for me with long dips into 0.008 fps territory. Something's gotta' give.

lmfao I knew people would still be in the comments complaining about the framerate.

@Daniel36 you must've been playing a heavily modded version of Minecraft. All you have to do is take to villagers, move them to your new village, put down some beds and give them food.

Batman please

They're sort of lined up with Zelda 1 and Zelda 2, which would support my theory that botw and totk are "remakes" of the first two games. First game, Hyrule is in ruins and we rescue Zelda from Ganon. Second game Ganon is reborn and we rescue an ancient Zelda who has been sleeping for thousands of years. There are a lot of discrepancies but the story was just in the instruction booklet anyway.

I guess a lot of people played this as kids, or with their kids, but I bought and played it as an adult. I'm not a Disney guy, I particularly don't care about Mickey, but the art direction and story seemed too compelling for me to miss, despite the middling to poor reviews.

It played like absolute garbage. And I love waggle! It was an unmitigated disaster and I got about 1/3 of the way through it before shelving it permanently. Maybe if I was a die hard Mickey Mouse fan I could have finished it, but the thing was broken. If it had been an original character in an original world we would never get this remake and nobody would care.
That said, with all I've read about this game so far, perhaps I'll actually double dip one day.

@ArcticEcho get CrossCode it's incredible. I went about a year where I kept trying to play new games (or games in my backlog) and I couldn't get into any of them. CrossCode broke the curse.

@World fair enough. I think the twist still holds up but I'm def not gonna' try and talk you into playing it. The story kind of takes a back seat to the gameplay anyway and it's a bit tired at this point (and as others have noted the creator is a bit of a jerk)

@World The story is good and was almost universally well received? It's also about the atomic age, so not very 2000s ... Not sure how you "look up" things that are so subjective anyway.

@rjejr The author worked for Nintendo Power in the late 1990s and mentions in the second paragraph that they played the original Metroid when it came out in 1986. I do agree that removing the minimap from BOTW was extremely disappointing.

1 year seems pretty light, but I'm American and up until a few years ago we were putting people away for years just for possessing negligible amounts of marijuana. Potentially life for repeat offenses. Also our prison system isn't for rehabilitation, it's strictly for punishment at best and slavery at worst. We're not the most brutal country by a longshot but we need reform like woah. Most of our prisons are built to generate profit.

I figured they'd do Symphonia first, it's a masterpiece. I'd love to have it playable on the Switch.

Man, we're gonna' have to play as Raiden again aren't we? Oh sure, we'll get to be Zelda for the opening tanker sequence, but right after we beat Olga it's the old switcheroo.

@Gameplay4fun that's odd, I used to carry around a large pocket knife and whenever I would forget it was in my pocket when I went to the DMV or the airport they just made me go and put it in my car... It's been a couple years since then. Should I be expecting a summons?

@SillyG Reddit has sections of it that are quite lovely though. On that note, does 8chan still exist? Because I'd vote for 8chan.

Meanwhile, over here in America...

@John_Deacon According to some Irish beer company the distinction of longest video game titles goes to the Japan only release deep breath
Summer-Colored High School Adolescent Record – A Summer At School On An Island Where I Contemplate How The First Day After I Transferred, I Ran Into A Childhood Friend And Was Forced To Join The Journalism Club Where While My Days As A Paparazzi Kid With Great Scoops Made Me Rather Popular Among The Girls, But Strangely My Camera Is Full Of Pan** Shots, And Where My Candid Romance Is Going

But to be fair "The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past And Four Swords" is 12 words long and that's pretty close.

@OorWullie dammit you beat me to it

My body is ready

@Xbox_Dashboard I'll grant you that there are some questions regarding the Blizzard stuff but your second point about a "bullseye" is a little strange considering all we know is pyoro's source is that they work for Nintendo of Japan. Beyond that he didn't even know how their own source was getting info so there's not a lot for anyone to go on. The source still seems pretty anonymous to me. Perhaps I'm wrong and this is somehow enough information to single out the true leaker, but I'm pretty sure Nintendo already knew this.

@graviton has he reveled pyoro's identity? Pyoro's contact's identity? Seems like they're still quite anonymous to me.

@Xbox_Dashboard Examples?

@timp29 people keep saying this but how are you supposed to keep the anonymity of an anonymous source? Schreier has a long track record of journalistic integrity. If he says he made the terms clear I'm inclined to believe him until it's proven otherwise.

I love Chrono Trigger. It's the game that for my wife into RPGs. That said, while i'd love an HD-2D remake I really think this game deserves a full on 3D blowout.

@Synecdoche with all due respect that is over 25 billion paintings and I think that might actually be too many.

From what I've gathered from the comments retro is "when I personally was a kid and there is no leeway at all I am the arbiter of all temporal matters," so that means that the cutoff is PS1/N64 and just by a hair because I'm 44.
That said, I think at least 20 years makes the most sense. Think of how we classify music as "the oldies" and ask yourself if you'd play Adele or Taylor Swift on an oldies station.

@MinervaX I've got some bad news for you, DQ1 on the NES is about 100 times simpler than FF1 on the NES. I loved both when I was a kid but Dragon Warrior as it was called in the West back then is only about 20 minutes of gameplay with about 4 hours of grinding. There is arguably only one boss and one dungeon in the whole game. Here's a summary of the entire game:

The Dragon Lord is bad go fight him.

@CapitalQ sigh I should've known better than to feed the troll.

@CapitalQ you act like they're running on the same engine or that you know everything about what's going on under the hood to get the games looking and playing the way they do. SMRPG also came out about a decade before TTYD. There's a lot more animation in the background of the latter.

@dodgeskill100 how about today?

@Servbot_EJ I love the world building in that game. I went through a mountain of AA batteries playing that game on the OG Gameboy. Really wish they'd port the 2009 Japanese only DS remake.

This is exactly what I expect and exactly what I want. I hope this is all true.

@Desrever I don't mean to criticize because I still like it very much, but I think you're missing a golden opportunity in your avatar by not having Super Mario World's galoomba in there and also having it labeled "not a goomba"

@GravyThief true, and I typically prefer that as well. The video creator only had like 500 subs yesterday so maybe they were trying not to take potential viewers away from her.

@GravyThief There's a video for you to watch if you're interested.

@Chaos_Knight I came to say this. Nintendo already has other companies making their games, people. Some of them, like Retro, are western.

@Justaguest unless you're collecting human teeth
