@Taguon oh no no no you have nothing to worry about, didn’t see it that way at all. It’s true that the word’s lost some meaning because of how it’s been thrown around so casually, in this case it makes sense to me though. It’s an evolution of the simplicities of Toriyama’s style.
@Taguon to be fair there’s little other way to really describe it 😅 the colours are less saturated, there’s much more shadow, the designs are more complex but retain the same eyes and face that we know from Toriyama’s work.
Strangely having underpowered hardware has helped Nintendo more than ever. It's these kinds of tricks and solutions that will make the possibilities endless when they get more power
What are they smoking, Nintendo's putting out just as many games as they have when the Switch launched, and much more than any of the other slop on PS and XSX
@BIG3 That's exactly the kind of game I mean lmao. Rebirth in particular's a slog cuz when it's good it's a literal all-time great game but when it's bad I wanted to throw my controller at the TV. Can't rate a game that high in good faith if I had such a mixed experience.
I used to be addicted to longer games but the amount of blatant filler in them has definitely started to grate on me now. It's a shame, because some of these games are right up there but are held back by how long they want to be.
I can’t see it happening anymore. Switch sales have absolutely slowed down now, especially with the news of the successor soon. Maybe it can hit 155 million but beating the PS2 feels like a long shot.
I love that Nintendo’s doing this to their old franchises. Shows how much they care about every single game in their library, even the niche ones like FDC!!
I've often noticed that the best producers in gaming were originally directors. Miyamoto and Aonuma are the best examples but I'd also throw Sakamoto and Yuji Horii in the ring too, they don't direct but their essence is always in the latest instalments.
Continuing my F1 23 and F2 23 career modes, both are at 105% AI and I'm whipping the competition, may be time to turn them up a bit. Also reached Act 2 of Witcher 3, have to do some Skellige quests so I can continue the story.
One of the best Nintendo Directs, period. Had just about everything a Nintendo fan could ever want between Mario, Zelda, and Metroid, the third party games, and especially what Square delivered. Half a dozen day one buys at least.

oh buzz off Nintendo 🤣 well played.
Re: Zelda: BOTW And Animal Crossing: New Horizons Composer Yasuaki Iwata Has Left Nintendo
His work on the BOTW soundtrack was very underrated, I’ll definitely look forward to anything he works on now he’s gone freelance!
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom (Switch) - A Bold Blend Of Old & New That Ranks With The Series' Best
Performance comments don't surprise me in the least lmao. Glad it's not game breaking.
Re: Here's Another Look At The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom World Map
Combining that with the rift worlds it looks pretty decent sized for a 2D game. Inject it straight into my veins!!
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Details Role Of Longtime Recurring Character
Some rise to power, from grave robbing to a royal engineer!

Re: Mario & Luigi: Brothership Steelbook Pre-Order Bonus Revealed
@Pipulitoch yeah I used to live in France and dealt with micromania in the past, they’re pretty middling from what I vaguely remember.

Re: Square Enix Reveals New Character Art For Every Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Job Class
This art style is gorgeous, really evokes Toriyama whilst having more shading and maturity.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Brothership Steelbook Pre-Order Bonus Revealed
No way man I'd DO things for that steelbook. Dunno if it's worth the shipping all the way from France though
Re: Feature: The Return Of Lynels And Five Other Exciting Reveals In The Latest Zelda Trailer
They finally remembered how to make a traditional Zelda game and use all the lessons they've learned over the last three games... WE ARE SO BACK

An English translation is inevitable and the second that happens I'm getting this book, I adore them, especially the Zelda ones.

Wrap it up Geoff, you’re taking too long
Re: Tango Gameworks Survives, Reviving The 'Hi-Fi Rush On Switch' Dream
Thank god, this studio's got a hit on their hands with Hi-Fi and they deserve to see it through.
Re: Unofficial Metroid Pixel Art eBook Is Free For A Very Limited Time
Apple Pay for a £0.00 artbook goes hard, but this is absolutely gorgeous, may buy one for real if it's good!
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Best Buy Pre-Order Bonus Revealed
I do wish they had some kind of art book or steelbook with these collector’s editions. That really sweetens the deal for me personally.
Re: Switch On Track To Surpass PS2's Lifetime Sales In The US
I can’t see it happening anymore. Switch sales have absolutely slowed down now, especially with the news of the successor soon. Maybe it can hit 155 million but beating the PS2 feels like a long shot.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom New Art And Screenshots Revealed By Nintendo
They've found something magic with this art style.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Dev Monolith Soft Is Recruiting For A 'New RPG'
@Rhaoulos Exact same view here, the standard is so high with this team. I personally put Atlus there too, but apples to oranges.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Dev Monolith Soft Is Recruiting For A 'New RPG'
Let this studio cook, they’re one of the best out there right now and I trust whatever they’re up to.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd August)
@Tyranexx Loooooooong overdue I can't wait to hear how Future Redeemed goes.
Re: Persona 5 Is Getting A Huge 'Official Design Works' Artbook This Year
Yup I'm totally buying this, P5R is one of my favourite games of all time.
Edit: Jeez, when did hating this game become popular?
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Artist Celebrates Second Anniversary With New Illustration
Jeez it's already been two years?! What an incredible experience, even playing it three times didn't get old. Just snapped up the artbook too!
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Ganondorf Figma Scores 2025 Release, Pre-Orders Now Live
Little expensive for me but I'm sure it'll find some loving owners. Can it flurry rush them?
Re: New Fire Emblem: Three Houses Figures Announced, Pre-Orders For Dimitri Live
Is this some kind of twisted joke?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th July)
Continuing ACNH again, started Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity after a few years away, and that's kinda it for now.
Re: Poll: Do You Prefer Fire Emblem: Three Houses Or Engage?
Both of them need to exist imo, Three Houses was the story game and Engage had best in class strategy gameplay.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (20th July)
Started a new Animal Crossing: New Horizons island and bought the DLC, so I'm upgrading my house for the first time again!
Re: 'Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club' Launches On Switch Next Month
@Serpenterror at this point considering they’ve brought back games like FDC I’m not ruling out anything anymore.
Re: 'Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club' Launches On Switch Next Month
I love that Nintendo’s doing this to their old franchises. Shows how much they care about every single game in their library, even the niche ones like FDC!!
Re: Random: Zelda Modder Brings TOTK's Fuse Ability To Ocarina Of Time
My lord that make me laugh, what an incredible community!!
Re: Random: Directors And Producers - What's The Difference? Sakurai Explains
I've often noticed that the best producers in gaming were originally directors. Miyamoto and Aonuma are the best examples but I'd also throw Sakamoto and Yuji Horii in the ring too, they don't direct but their essence is always in the latest instalments.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (29th June)
Continuing my F1 23 and F2 23 career modes, both are at 105% AI and I'm whipping the competition, may be time to turn them up a bit. Also reached Act 2 of Witcher 3, have to do some Skellige quests so I can continue the story.
Re: F1 Manager 2024 Pulls Up On Switch In July With "Complete Feature Parity"
I can vouch for the F1 Manager series, it's leaps and bounds better than the main F1 games in almost every way. Do pick it up!
Re: Reaction: A Direct That Delivered, And Shows That Switch Still Has Plenty Of Pep
One of the best Nintendo Directs, period. Had just about everything a Nintendo fan could ever want between Mario, Zelda, and Metroid, the third party games, and especially what Square delivered. Half a dozen day one buys at least.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Confirmed, Launching 2025
Man I'm still shaking from that ending. Can't believe it's finally here... COME ON
Re: New 2D Adventure 'The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom' Announced For This September
Everything I could have asked for from a 2D Zelda, especially that it's a Link's Awakening successor. DAY 1 BUY
Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Finally Gets Release Date, I & II Remakes Confirmed
Oh my GOD I'm SO GLAD I WAITED!! Getting both, no question
Re: Basketball Is Dunking Onto Nintendo Switch Sports This Summer
Hello? I'd like to report a crime, specifically grave-digging.
Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Swings Onto Switch Next Year
Bought this game on Wii and 3DS so I'm definitely not getting it this time. Can't recommend it enough though, this game is a platforming masterpiece.
Re: UK Charts: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Debuts At Number One
Good timing, I just got my copy in the post like ten minutes ago lol
Re: Miyamoto Shares Surprise Update About New Mario Movie Ahead Of Nintendo Direct
It’s always at the most random date too, I never thought Nintendo would do this on the DAY OF A DIRECT
Re: Final Fantasy XIV Online Director Would Love To See Square Enix's MMO On A "Nintendo Platform"
Definitely not on the first Switch but I'm sure there's scope to pull it off for the second.
Re: Review: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance (Switch) - Even Better Than The Stellar Original
So glad this game finally has the grounds to shine properly, I’m absolutely buying this again, probably on PS5 though.
