This article is a disservice to what concerned ape has created. It makes it seem that the main things stardew does different is same sex marriage and anti capitalist story lines? It’s easy to see that is important to the author of the article, but it’s only a drop in the bucket as to what’s different with stardew. Stardew isn’t just harvest moon…. It’s harvest moon, animal crossing, dragon quest builders, and legend of Zelda mixed together it’s got enough original with the formula and story and it oozes charm. And the best thing about it is the mastery of the day cycle. 15minute-ish days to cram everything in. You have to plot and plan how your days are spent to accomplish everything you need to do. Rarely do you go to bed without thinking about what you need to do the next game day.
I adore all the mainline Zelda games (except links adventure), but I don’t think this is a good theory. There is a sect of LoZ fans who obsess over timelines and connections between games and I have to say, it really does feel every legend of Zelda game is entirely independent of one another. Even if they use the same engine, they still at most just hint at links to where they connect to the franchise. I seriously doubt when they were putting together tears of the kingdom that they were heavily focused on tying in skyward sword specifically as part of this storyline. Why would they? It’s one of the least popular Zelda games.
My sister had yellow and I tried it but I was an idiot teenager at the time obsessed with madden and nba games…. The first Pokémon I actually played was Pokémon Emerald. I still think it’s the best Pokémon experience I’ve had
I as well never owned a WiiU. They just never had a console selling game I had to have. The closest thing to selling me a WiiU were the HD Zelda ports and I’m ok I missed out on them. They’ll come back around eventually
I’m an OG Nintendo gamer starting on the Nes…. I borrowed my friends legend of Zelda cartridge and it just didn’t click with me. I had snes but moved on to PlayStation after that. The Wii was my reunion with Nintendo and twilight princess was my first Zelda game I played for real. Since then I’ve played and beat all of the mainline Zelda games with the exception of Zelda II on the Nes. I just can’t get into despite several focused efforts. The franchise is clearly my favorite gaming franchise and I can’t wait for botw2
I’m not a collector, but honestly the only thing I’ll never trade in are my legend of Zelda and Mario games with one caveat…. I’d sell them if I get a newer version on a better console I’m more likely to play.
Switch was released in 2017…. What did the numbers say the years leading up to the initial switch release? Maybe the switch only has 2-4 more years and it takes Nintendo that long to stockpile units for release date. 🤷🏻♂️
My votes OOT, minesweeper, NBA Jam, and Dance dance revolution I adore 3/4ths of these games but I have to include DDR despite my disinterest in it. I understand its importance in the gaming world
@BreathingMiit I cant tell, are you being sarcastic? This is a solid lineup of Nintendo games. Really something for everyone except 3d Mario, but Kirby can fill that void
Really a down year for me and Nintendo. Skyward sword was the only thing I felt I had to have. A lot of great games released but most of them aren’t my jam. Ps5 has been played daily. 2022 looks to be better for Nintendo.
Any year we don’t get a new 3d Zelda or Mario can’t be above an 7 for me. That being said, they did good mostly everywhere else. They really fumbled the NOS expansion tier that I was REALLY looking forward to… but a couple Pokémon games, 3d world, skyward sword. Plenty for me to do, but still underwhelmed
I know I’ll be happy for castelvania fans if/ when a new game comes out, but the series is not for me. It’s hard and I don’t desire to get gud at it. That being said, he’s telling people the rereleases have to sell well for a new game to be made.
I had high hopes for this game. I preordered eastward but for some reason Something told me to hold off on baldo. I’ll scoop it on sale after they finish it with patches
I’m played it 3 times and I go shallower each play through. With a star in my save file I have 22%. I remember doing a deep search for koror seeds and really went for all the shrines on my first play through so I’m guessing I was around 70% but I deleted the save file
I didn’t have a wiiU …. Cries in incomplete information to answer fairly.
I really think the 3ds remakes and ss are hard to beat. Going from dated consoles to portable w/ updated graphics and quality of life improvements… really great. Tp and ww are stuck at home and I think we’re just glossing over that fact.
My most favorite zelda memory isn’t even in game. It’s what really got me into the series that is now my favorites. I was in my 20s with not much money but had a great group of gaming friends. One friend was buying the Wii at launch w/ twilight princess and we all went with him to Walmart at and waited in line. After he got it withe twilight princess we went back to his house and watched him play through the first 4 or 5 hours.
I knew that night I HAD to buy a Wii and play twilight princess myself.
