If the Gamecube online launched with "eternal darkness sanity's requiem" it would have been a 11/10 for me. But for now it was a 10/10. Man the nintendo fanbase is looking a lil toxic these days.
I loved everything about this. Mario Kart World looks amazing. Looking forward to playing Tears of the Kingdom again... but finally I'll play Elden Ring and have that be my big 'year-long' game I chip away at.
I played this on Wii U just after getting Fallout 4 and it completely stole my attention. For new players, just wait until it kicks in and you’re systematically setting up geological posts in each region. Oh and also decking out your team in sexy sci-fi punk band outfits
At first I was like, ok this is kinda cool. But I just hit that sweet spot where the map opens up and it feel likes an open world rpg, but rts + turn-base gameplay... I'm so hooked.
I loved this game. I was impatient for Windwaker coming out on Gamecube and this game was a great surprise. A Zelda like starring Fox!? I wouldn't mind another spinoff from space battles, these characters are too good.
Still waiting for a full own sequel for Kingdom. New troop types, mechanics, vertical maps, new enemy? I've played the hell out of the game and DLCs, perfect commute and airplane time sucker.
It was a 6 for me... would have been an 8 if I didn't see everything already in the trailers... or maybe it's just that the story is so bland. I LOVE all the accurate references... but I wonder if non-mario fans can enjoy it alone.
But my 9 and 7 year old gave it an 11/10. Guess thats what matters.
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, hands down. It would be amazing to see how theyd update the psychological mind games. I remember the VOLUME going down looked like every Sony or Samsung TV's green volume bars at the time. That'd need an update for one.
Don't want to be a negative nancy, but after jumping around the livingroom for Pikmin 4, and Metroid Prime remaster... this was more of the same they've teased. And honestly, it feels like just an amazing DLC. After putting in 200 hours in the first one, this isn't getting me excited anymore.
Yes, I love the forced use of managing other weapons! But it'd great if you could repair and enhance weapons. Tinkering with your arsenal sounds like a great addition.
Love it all. Voices, atmosphere, jokes, easter eggs. I'm so hyped for April (and I raised two devote nintendo kiddos so this will be a great bonding memory in the cinemas).
Eternal Darkness was spooky with the insanity stuff, like hearing voices. But I'd say Resident 1 was the first time a game truly scared me. I couldn't move forward sometimes.
@RubyCarbuncle It took me 1 year to beat part 2. Not that it was that long (still pretty long though), but I took my time on it and would tap in and out once a week at my leisure. It can get a little exhausting so it was nice to play when I felt like it.
I just wish they'd acknowledge the Metroid Prime Trilogy and release it at least a year before 4. It's going to take a while to space out those 3 games and finish them.
@XanderLovesNintendo regretfully, no. I was paralyzed with a bad hangover and could barely order a drink. But I remember the date. Feb 2020, right before the pandemic.
I know these two are cringe, but I once sat behind them on a flight from Seattle to San Francisco and they were authentically the biggest nintendo nerds you could meet. Constantly playing their switches doing experimental stuff on BOTW.

Re: Pikmin 4's Free Content Update Is Out Now, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Ugh wanted an enhanced Switch 2 edition. BOTW on switch 2 was almost like playing a new game.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Receives Another Update On Switch 2, Here Are The Patch Notes
My Switch 2 has become a Cyberpunk machine since I got it. What's crazy is I had it on Xbox and didn't really like. Now it's all I want to do.

Re: Review: Red Dead Redemption - A Fine But No-Frills Switch Port, For A Fistful Of Dollars
I jealous of all of you that haven't played this before. It's an amazing open world game, and it'd be so amazing to take it around on Switch.
Re: Feature: Pikmin Tier List - Which Pikmin Type Is The Best?

Re: Eiji Aonuma On Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom: Expect New Gameplay That Will Change The Game World
I really wish the map wasn't the same... or at least if there was restored Hyrule village and other new cities to interact with.
Re: Poll: What Other GameCube Title Deserves A '10/10' Remake Or Remaster?
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, hands down. It would be amazing to see how theyd update the psychological mind games. I remember the VOLUME going down looked like every Sony or Samsung TV's green volume bars at the time. That'd need an update for one.
