@bimmy-lee Tingle doesn't bother me. To me he is the comic relief character. I agree with you on Beedle...something always seemed off about that guy to me.
@FantasiaWHT yes. It's supposed to be retroactive, meaning the game is already tracking where you go now, which means it should have been included from the beginning. It's still a nice addition but me and the wife was wondering why there was no way in the game to track all that already.
@PAppleyard This is my personal opinion as well. Looking at my gaming shelf, the Wii U, has the most games on the shelf sitting at 25 games. Not counting the games sitting on the console itself. And just for reference I have my PS4, PS3, PS2, XBOX 360, WII, AND WII U games all on the same shelf.
@Sean161 HD rumble is a gimmick but a good one. The best way to notice the difference between regular rumble and HD rumble is to play Zelda first then play FAST afterwards. Zelda doesn't use HD rumble. In FAST the rumble is more intense and more location specific
I have Snake Pass on Switch, and when I started playing it this morning, I didn't think the rumble was bad or too harsh at all. I'll try it again here shortly to see if there is a difference post update
@super08mario thanks for the tip. I tried that but ended up going back to the default control settings. I found out that the only times I'm really having a hard time controlling Noodle is when I'm trying to get those hard to reach and hard to find coins.
Snake Pass is a little harder to control than I thought it would be. I even watched the video of Alex playing it, which is mainly the reason I ended up buying it, but I figure I'll get the hang of it eventually. It's gonna be another nice little diversion from Zelda.
This game is awesome, challenging, and hard but rewarding. I "owned" the Rebirth version through my PS+ membership but I gladly bought and paid for the physical copy on Switch. It really is the perfect game to pop in after a long Breath of the Wild marathon session. Highly recommend this game if you don't have it or have never played it before on other systems. Even if you have played it before, the fact that with the Switch you can take it anywhere, just makes it that much sweeter.
I'm picking up Afterbirth at retail on Friday. After that I think I'm done until Mario Kart comes out in April. Between Zelda, Fast, And Isaac I think I have plenty to play until then.
@Superzone13 You are not alone my friend. I had the Wii U version of the game bought and paid for before the Switch launch. When i picked up my midnight launch Switch I picked up the Switch version and the Wii U version now sits on my shelf unopened just to have as a collectors item.
I liked the ad. At first while I was watching it and saw no gameplay footage I was thinking "why would Nintendo do this", but once you start hearing that all too familiar coin jingle I couldn't help but start to smile. By the time the ad ends all I could think about was that the Android version can't come soon enough.
Don't Starve:Giants Edition here I come. I have it on Vita and PS4, but at that price I'm definitely getting it on Wii U just for Gamepad item management 👍
Awesome...bring back Wave Race either through Wii U virtual console or a whole new game on Switch. Sounds good to me regardless of whichever one they decide
What a timely article!!! Just last week my wife had ordered me a 1TB flash drive that came in the mail yesterday. I popped it into my Wii U and moved everything off of the current 16GB flash drive into the 1TB. Guess what happened this morning after trying to boot up Lego City Undercover? I get the error message saying USB drive failure...not only are my e-shop games gone along with all the Virtual Console and digital Wii U games gone but all of my saves are dead and gone also....very sad day indeed.
Am I the only one that feels like after watching the kickstarter video, that the visuals seem to feel like are copied/pasted straight from Nintendo's games? I get that the game was or is supposed to be "inspired" from the Zelda franchise, but I have an issue when it looks like the games background graphics are sprite for sprite copies of other Nintendo Zelda games.
ok after watching that video, I have to say, I'm impressed. For a one man dev team, he has pulled of some very nice effects, sounds, and graphics. The only thing I noticed that seemed to throw me off a little , was during the last part of the video when the sphinx was shown, I didn't like how when the car took that turn and the sphinx rotated it just seemed to be a little "flat" as opposed to the rest of the background objects, Other than that though I say good job and good luck sir!
Dear Nintendo... I personally would purchase a physical boxed deluxe "HD remake/remaster" of the original, especially if it was part of a combo package that included a sequel, as well as purchasing an E-shop download. My reasoning would be that the boxed version goes on shelf NEVER TO BE OPENED, E-shop version gets played until my Wii U dies from pure HD sanity effects. Make it happen. Now. Please.
Surprisingly....I'm intrigued by this. Seriously, I was gonna leave after I read the article, but I watched the video, and it looks like something I could see myself playing for a couple minutes after a stressing day. Keep the price somewhere around the $2.99 - $4.99 range and you've got a sale from me.
Why doesn't NOA release this or some kind of special edition of Hyrule Warriors for us? I for one think that the U.S. Wii U owners are so starved for quality games and products that we would gladly pay the extra bit of $$$ for something like this. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that we end up getting somerthing.
I told someone on this very site a few months ago that this game was awesome when talking about it on the vita and I stand by my opinion. With that said I have already purchased the Wii U edition and will be buying it a third time when i get it for my PS4 sometime next week after I renew my PS+ membership....it simply is that good of a game
@Hy8ogen while you yourself may not spend your money on the Wii Shop, that doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. I've had my Wii U since August 2013 and my most recent purchase was Majora's Mask just last week. Might not be your cup of tea but that doesn't speak for everyone sir.
@daggdroppen the game is not bad by any means...maybe it wasn't to your liking or you just didn't care for it, but with all of the positive comments from not only this site, but from all of the ones on the PSN site as well, the game did pretty decent if you ask me. the fact of the matter is that the Wii U needs any kind of good game right now and i would at least be trying to tell people to just try it out for themselves instead of just bashing it because of one thing or another that got under your skin about it.
@Boukman wrong the Vita has Skype...technically phoning someone with a Vita is possible so long as that person has a Skype account and has access to wi-fi
Ever since this whole drama of EA and Nintendo started, I have yet to purchase another EA game, developed by them or published by them. It doesn't matter to a lot of my friends but I will not support a company like them that doesn't put at least some effort with their games. It does hurt a little that I won't get to finish my Dead Space franchise after owning the first two on PS3, or that I wont buy Plants vs, Zombies 2, or that i won't get to re-enlist in Battlefield 4, but just like EA gave us a nice big "you're #1" with that finger that is between the index and ring finger, they can get one right back from me, along with the knowledge that I am keeping my money away from them.
I want a digital re-release of the original, along with Shadows of the Eternals (as a sort of bridge the gap kind of thing) for, wait for it...Eternal Darkness II. Made and developed by Nintendo. Make that happen, along with GC VC, and I will be a very happy gamer.
@Kafei2006 : I was not trying to be rude or anything, it was late where I live and I was trying to create links (not very well I can see) with Kenji Eno and the video game music composer that I think I know who you are talking about. I remember back in the SNES Final Fantasy days that there was someone with a similar name. But like I said, I tried to help but didn't really. Eno-san on the other hand had a visionary approach with his games. I kinda thought of him as an early Itagaki-san or Kojima-san at the time.
I did not know Cycling was part of the game. How does it work? Anyone know? And I would love to go to the Dallas one but Grapevine Mills Mall is too far for me to go to from Terrell. Oh well it's still cool that it is that close
Dear God when is this game coming out? I have been dying to buy a new DsiWare game for months just because I want this game. And for all of the people saying that they don't get the point of popping bubbles, please go try the WiiWare version. It really is a great "come home from work and chill out" kind of feel to it. Hurry up Nnooo please.
