Re: Random: Google's Splatoon Easter Egg Lets You Ink Your Search Results

@BabyYoda71 I don't think early 2024 but early 2023. Wrong, yesterday was 007 day, 05th of October! Yesterday was 60 years since the 1st movie was released. It was a perfect timing for Goldeneye to be released. I was hoping that we didn't have a date to be a surprise yesterday! Anyway! Off-topic! Let's wait! I started playing 007 Legends on WII U...

Re: GoldenEye 007 Is Returning To Nintendo Switch

Xbox gets a remake or a "recreation" (according to Rare's tweet) with 4K resolution and Switch gets just the N64 ROM or the new version as well? Still better than nothing but I was expecting it will be the same on both consoles. Is it or not?

Re: Soapbox: Endless Zelda Remakes Are A Poor Substitute For Backwards Compatibility

john_lennon999

@Effortlessgamer no but there should have been digital versions of many games compatible with Switch with no extra charge, with Nintendo you have to buy digital the same game twice even though it is on the same account without discount, all Wii U ports etc. Microsoft does it right with Xbox and X360 games compatible with newer consoles and a unified catalogues like Steam. I had to buy twice BOTW, Pikmin 3, Captain Toad, NSMBUDX, MK8DX, Super Mario World 3D and many more Wii U ports of indie games even though they were on the same account.

Re: Talking Point: What Was Your First Legend Of Zelda Game?

john_lennon999

I had a N64 back in 1998 and a friend of mine insisted on renting the new Zelda for a weekend because he loved Link's Awakening on Gameboy, I didn't even know the name of the series, I had a N64 only for Goldeneye and had played MK64 and Mario 64 and nothing else on it until then! The first I bought was Windwaker though (because I wanted the bonus Ocarina Of Time disc because I hadn't got it for N64 and couldn't find it anymore!)

Re: Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Switch)

john_lennon999

Awful review. Most of the time explains technical details and it is like everybody knows what Skyrim is and have played it before and doesn't go into details about gameplay and what kind of game it is. Never played it, never watched a video of it and I couldn't tell by the review what should I expect except 30fps etc etc.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 2 Is Now Available

john_lennon999

Although I liked the Wave 2 a lot I would prefer to be 2 cups with only Tour courses and not be in other cups because most of them are in real cities and they always seem strange to me for a Mario Kart game (and I don't like that much that every round is different). I wish we could have more GC and Wii courses instead.

Re: Nintendo Launches Huge Switch eShop Multiplayer Sale With Up To 80% Off (North America)

john_lennon999

@Tandy255 Ocarina Of Time 3D became a select on 2016, and around that time many more AAA titles too (DKCR, Mario and Luigi, Kirby, Animal Crossing New Leaf etc) and 3DS was discontinued official in 2019 I think. If a new console is released in -let's say- 2024 1-2 Switch etc will be full price for 6 years! AndI think Nintendo doesn't seem to have plans for Selects for Switch I think because maybe the next console will be backwards compatible and they will keep selling BoTW for 69.99 forever.

Re: Sonic Origins Arrives 23rd June, New Trailer And Website Are Live

john_lennon999

I miss the good old days that companies didn't know the value of their old retro games and sold them cheap, Gems and Mega Collection had around 10-12 games each for 29.99 (Japanese version had Streets Of Rage trilogy as unlockable!) and even Nintendo had around 10 NES games on Animal Crossing for free (and you could send them to GBA!) and a few years later it was 4.99 each on Wii/Wii U. Now you have for options, sure, but more expensive.

Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2: Everything We Know So Far

john_lennon999

I hope they don't turn BOTW into a Skyward Sword/Windwaker combination with many many random small islands lost in the sky and have lots of travelling with a bird, and that will be that extra something from BOTW and not the main game. (You see, I don't like Windwaker and Skyward Sword that much, I prefer TP and OOT) One more year to know!

Re: Review: Banjo-Kazooie - Peerless Platforming Perfection, And Now Available On Switch

john_lennon999

Why there was "released on 20th of January" on every gaming site if it was on 21st in Europe? I have tried updating the N64 app over 50 times today! And on the title of the article said "NOW" and it didn't mean now! Anyway... I always preferred Mario 64 because I hated that you should collect every note again if you died. Xbox version was better. And I think I liked Tooie more (I played it for just a few hours though).

Re: 'Pandemic' Will Apparently Be Removed From The Switch eShop This July

john_lennon999

I played it on Xbox One, but it was like a demo version, no online multiplayer, almost no tutorials, and in single player was boring, there are no AI Bots as players, so you just play all the players in turns, and in the end for me it was a little bit confusing, I didn't remember each characters' abilities to form a strategy if I played with 3-4 players. Too much potential such a boring result in single player. With more players I play the board game instead.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate Nintendo's 2021?

john_lennon999

For me, it felt like one of the last Wii years. I was waiting for one of : Odyssey 2 or Galaxy 3 MK9, Ocarina Of Time/Majoras Mask remasters (based on 3ds versions for the 35th), even Super Mario Galaxy 2 as rumours used to say after the release of All Stars, and BOTW2 (which I am not hyped at all because I hated Skyward Sword and I hate everything that has to do with the sky in Zelda games) and we only got...Skyward Sword. The only Nintendo title I liked was Mario Party Superstars. And not everyone is a fan of Metroid. The only real big title this year. Nintendo is lazy with the Switch. In the Wii U years produced more titles for the Wii U and the 3DS combined. And more ambitious titles, like Splatoon or MK8 and Pikmin 3 and DKTF, more experimental like Captain Toad, now they play it safe. Not even a MK8 DLC. So it was a very very very bad year.
