It's so awesome that lesser known or otherwise less well-received Zeldas like Link's Awakening and Skyward Sword have both gotten a second wind on the Switch. This coupled with two brand-new open world entries...much as I'd lap up yet more WW and TP ports, we really don't need them to have a solid Zelda collection on this system. Pretty killer as is.
Disney characters are the the biggest reason I was ever on board for Sora's inclusion before, but not surprised they're a no-show. At least Sora himself looks pretty hype as a fighter.
I don't doubt the gameplay will be top notch, mostly curious where the story will go after Prime 3. Particularly to merit the subtitle "Prime" beyond being first-person.
@westman98 Kinda reminds me of the Takkuri bird from Majora's Mask. Only I imagine it would be far more difficult for the forces of evil to actually swipe the blade of evil's bane.
@tntswitchfan68 This. If they can give us a straight remaster of Advance Wars, there's nothing, absolutely nothing stopping them from doing the same with like, F-Zero GX (or even X) and adding online. There's more going on here than meets the eye with the flimsy excuses they give.
My biggest beef with New Horizons is that if you ever put the game aside for a while, it punishes you in typical Animal Crossing fashion by trashing your island. Then if/when you work up the gumption to jump back in, you spend all your time and energy getting it back to a somewhat respectable state, only to find yourself overwhelmed and burnt out all over again.
Wish there was something like New Leaf's ordinances to alleviate this to some degree. It's such a chill game to dive into here and there otherwise. There should always be those anti-tedium measures baked in for types who aren't/can't be quite as invested though.
Much as I love the Pokeball play on the American and Japanese covers (and the inclusion of Electabuzz!), gotta hand it to Europe here for composition and clarity.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED Rumour Resurfaces Online
Passing on the collector's edition. Got enough in the way of amiibo & trinkets at this point.
But my OG Switch is ready for retirement. Bring on this beauty.
Re: Poll: So, Do You Think Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Will Actually Release In 2022?
"Even given the current global difficulties, Nintendo wouldn't have announced a date without feeling confident it could deliver."

Always great to see video game music recognized as a legitimate art form!

Custom Robo, y'all. Enough said.

Hey Hallmark. This, but in Christmas ornament form please.

Re: Poll: Do You Use The Black Or White Theme On Your Nintendo Switch?
Dark mode everything. Might as well gouge out your eyeballs for all the damage white screens do to your retinas. lol

Re: After Months Of 'Switch Pro' Rumours, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Nintendo Switch OLED Model
Just gimme the dock and joycons and I'm good. lol

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Will Have "Various Quality-Of-Life Enhancements", Nintendo Says
If it means Fi finally gets the respect she deserves as a character, I'm down.
Re: Nintendo "Holding Back" On Name Of New Zelda Game To Avoid Revealing Too Much
The Legend of Zelda: [REDACTED]
Re: Feature: A Look Back At Nintendo's Long History Of Art, Music And Game Making Software
I like to think Mario Paint is the reason I'm a graphic designer. Much as I love Zelda, the former is objectively the best game on the SNES.
I may be a tad biased.
Re: Random: Can You Spot Your Favourite Pokémon In This Huge Art Piece?
Found both Diggersby and Electabuzz. Their faces did not disappoint.

Re: Feature: Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Foreshadowed Breath Of The Wild's Big Changes
Blows my mind that this game is almost a decade old already. What the heck is time, even?
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Game Boy Color... Colour?
Being hit with memories of playing Pokémon Gold on my Kiwi GBC back in the day...with one of those little lamps that plug into the side.
For real though, can't beat green.
Re: Katy Perry's Pokémon Song 'Electric' Is Out Now
I like it. It's very Pokémon, in a lovably 90's cheesy sort of way. lol
Re: Scorbunny Is Joining The Pokémon Build-A-Bear Collection
His little PJ's though! <3 <3
Re: Great, Now Pokémon Card Scalpers Are Ruining Cereal, Too
I have a yellow iPhone with a clear-backed case...in which I carry the Pikachu card. Blends right in, lol.
Think he's guaranteed to show up in each pack so he probably isn't worth much, but eh. He's cute though!

Re: Feature: Zelda: Twilight Princess' Flipped World On Wii Made Me Go A Little Cucco
Funny though how much better the western-themed Kakariko Village in this game (to say nothing of Hidden Village!) work when the world got flipped.
