This looks really good. No NFL teams but I'm more used to the behind the line view than side view. I stopped playing Madden 20 years ago so these simpler style football games may fill that need.
I think the short answer is NO! We don't need a Zelda movie.
But if they had to make one, please let it be an anime or anime inspired like Avatar the Last Airbender. Studio Ghibli would be a good choice if not another anime studio.
I just don't get this. How much does a beast like Fortnite need to be fed with developer talent? It'll never be big enough? Meanwhile no Horizon Chase sequel anytime soon.
Behind the scenes I'm sure Nintendo's lawyers are also investigating all the companies involved with the production of the book. These companies are also at risk if it's determined the leak was from one of their employees. End of contract.
@Cashews Studio Ghibli VA is mostly really well done. But those are all original characters. Elle Fanning's voice's IS Mei Kusakabe's voice for the English version.
I'm just not a fan of hearing a celebrity's voice coming out of my favorite characters from cartoons and anime. Maile Flanagan IS Naruto. Insert your favorite character here.
@RainbowGazelle Agreed. Sadly this is nothing new and won't be stopped anytime soon. It's all about marketing, suits feel the need for bigger names instead of letting characters speak for themselves through VA veterans.
Scoob! is a good example IMO. They recast everyone in the gang but Scooby-Doo, voiced by Frank Welker, who had been the voice of Freddy Jones since the 1960s. Ugh!
A VA could do a character in TV or video games for decades. But if that character shows up in a movie the VA veteran doesn't get the part for a big payday. Instead the part goes to a big name actor that quite frankly probably doesn't need more money.
Looks fun. I too wish there were more "games" with this goal in mind, maybe with more of a story where you talk to people as you learn their language. Wish I could learn even some basic Japanese.
Unless you per-ordered you have to check stores in person or online. I wish we could just order something that's not in stock and wait. Retailers don't do back order anymore?
@LimitedPower That would be nice. Unlike the other console makers, Nintendo is unique that they rarely lower prices on First Party titles. This practice doesn't seem to hurt them but it'd be nice to see what would happen if they tried it.
There are a lot of high priced exclusive GC games and the prices don't seem to be going down anytime soon. I would love more remasters on Switch or their next console. I know Nintendo won't release all the games I want, but hopefully we'll get the big ones like Zelda and Metroid. Eternal Darkness and Skies of Arcadia are probably pipe dreams. $50 is way less than buying the GC versions.
DQ is very popular in other countries. I don't know why X wouldn't be translated and released outside Japan. They've done it with so many DQ games in recent years.
I have faith in Nintendo. It's true there have been missteps with Wii U, Virtual Boy, etc. but their track record is pretty darn good. Their games are always great.
Rumors are just that, until something is announced.

Re: Mario Movie Producer Denies Legend Of Zelda Film Rumours
I really don't want a Zelda movie. But it doesn't have to be the same people that did Mario, does it?
Re: Hands On: This Kitty Turned Out To Be Our Biggest Summer Game Fest Surprise
I was in when the trailer was first shown a while ago. Looks great.
Re: Legend Bowl Is Bringing More Arcade-Inspired American Football To Switch This Summer
This looks really good. No NFL teams but I'm more used to the behind the line view than side view. I stopped playing Madden 20 years ago so these simpler style football games may fill that need.
Re: Story Of Seasons Multiplayer Game Announced Alongside New Traditional Instalment
Interesting news for sure. Xseed rocks.
Re: Rune Factory 6 And Spin-Off 'Project Dragon' Officially Unveiled
Project Dragon looks pretty cool. Interested to see more. I assume it will have farming and romance too.
Re: Eiji Aonuma "Interested" In Zelda Movie After Mario's $1 Billion Box Office Success
I think the short answer is NO! We don't need a Zelda movie.
But if they had to make one, please let it be an anime or anime inspired like Avatar the Last Airbender. Studio Ghibli would be a good choice if not another anime studio.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.3.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I'll wait for SwitchUp to post another patch video. Doesn't sound promising.
Re: Horizon Chase Turbo Dev Aquiris Joins Epic Games To Work On Fortnite
I just don't get this. How much does a beast like Fortnite need to be fed with developer talent? It'll never be big enough? Meanwhile no Horizon Chase sequel anytime soon.
Re: Metroid Prime Engineer Calls Out Nintendo, Says Not Crediting OG Devs In Remaster Is "Petty And Ridiculous"
Can't Nintendo admit their mistake and release a patch for the missing credits? I know it's a little late but it's better than doing nothing at all.
Re: Kloa: Child Of The Forest Is A Beautiful Blend Of Pixel Art, Studio Ghibli, And Zelda
Yeah, I think a lot of us may have missed this one. It's on my radar for sure now. Hope it lives up to the comparisons.
Re: Nintendo Wants Discord To Reveal Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Art Book Leaker
Behind the scenes I'm sure Nintendo's lawyers are also investigating all the companies involved with the production of the book. These companies are also at risk if it's determined the leak was from one of their employees. End of contract.
Re: Soapbox: Can We Stop Pretending Switch Can't Run Call Of Duty?
@Baler True. There are a fair amount of articles about the Steam Deck or similar.
Re: Rumour: The Infamous Phillips CD-i Zelda Games Are Being Remastered For Switch
Pretty obviously a joke. But we did get Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.
Re: PlatinumGames Announces Next Instalment In "Neo-Classic Arcade" Series On April Fools' Day
We should turn off news feeds on April 1. Seriously sick of the tricks.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Indiana Jones Game? Rate Your Favourites For Our Upcoming Ranking
I haven't played too many on this list but of those the LEGO series were the most fun IMO.

Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like The Mario Movie Blu-ray Steelbook Release Date Leaked
@Member_the_game Yes. For the same reason that people buy physical games if they are released.

Re: Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Cast Shows Off Weird And Wonderful Skills In New Trailer
Really looking forward to checking this out.
Re: Nintendo Places Outside Top Ten In Metacritic's 13th Annual Game Publisher Rankings
Could not care less. This seems like just more fuel for the fire of people arguing about the best games makers.
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Looking To Hire Someone With NFT Knowledge
@HeadPirate I wish more were reading your comment instead of just posting their outrage.
Re: Take Snapshots And Learn Japanese In This Cosy Switch Photography Game, Live On Kickstarter
Looks fun. I too wish there were more "games" with this goal in mind, maybe with more of a story where you talk to people as you learn their language. Wish I could learn even some basic Japanese.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.2.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Updated Patch Notes
@Itachi2099 Same here. Switchup is good about revisiting certain games when they're patched. Sometimes games gets fixed. We'll have to see.
Re: Scalpers Set Their Sights On Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Release
Unless you per-ordered you have to check stores in person or online. I wish we could just order something that's not in stock and wait. Retailers don't do back order anymore?
Re: Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Introduces Six New Characters
Hope this is good. I'm really loving it so far.
Re: Capcom Permanently Lowers The Price Of Monster Hunter Stories 2 On Switch
@LimitedPower That would be nice. Unlike the other console makers, Nintendo is unique that they rarely lower prices on First Party titles. This practice doesn't seem to hurt them but it'd be nice to see what would happen if they tried it.
Re: Animal Crossing Is The Latest Game To Get The Boss Fight Books Treatment
Sounds great. Kelsey is always a wonderful guest on various Metal Jesus videos. Has a passion for games.
Re: Video: MVG Checks Out "Awesome" Update For GameCube Emulator On Xbox
@Mgalens You have a valid point on the third party exclusives.
I would also like a port of Paper Mario. Thanks.

Re: Time-Travel RPG 'Loop8: Summer Of Gods' Gets Official Western Release Date
Looks like a playable anime, slice of life with some action. I'm in.
Re: Xbox Acknowledges "The Journey" It's Been On To Revive GoldenEye 007
It shouldn't have taken this long for GoldenEye. Can we get a proper Banjo sequel now? I'm sure we'll never see Conker again.
Re: Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Remake Is Coming To Switch This June
Looks good. Love the trailer.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Voice Actors Officially Announce Their Characters
Good cast. Congrats and happy to hear people are liking the game.

Looks interesting. I hope there will be a demo.
Re: PSA: Watch Out, Fire Emblem Engage Leaks Are Appearing Online
@Kid_Sickarus nice quote, Dr. Malcolm. Love that scene!
Re: The Simpsons Hit & Run Soundtrack Is Out Now On Spotify And Apple Music
@PLATINUM7 I would be happy with that too. The cartoon graphics are fine. The Xbox version supports 480p and Widescreen so it's not far off that way.
Re: Random: Zelda Cartoon Writer Admits Hiring Family Members To Help Write Episodes
It's great nostalgia. It's not much different than other cartoons at the time which were also great.
Re: Nintendo Provides A Look At Switch's Games Line-Up For 2023
There are some big games on that list. I really like what I see from Master Detective Archives: Rain Code.
Re: This Latest Switch 'Rival' From Razer Launches At The End Of The Month
My apologies to the author but I am little tired of seeing articles about Switch competitors.
Re: Story Of Seasons, Rune Factory Producer Developing Brand New Action RPG For Switch
Will wait for some more details but some of the titles interest me.
Re: Square Enix Teases Plans For Dragon Quest X In 2023
DQ is very popular in other countries. I don't know why X wouldn't be translated and released outside Japan. They've done it with so many DQ games in recent years.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2023
I sure hope we see Twilight Princess and Wind Waker on Switch or the next Nintendo console.
Probably a different list but would love to have a remaster of Dragon Quest VIII on Switch too.
Re: Soapbox: Sega's Greatest RPG Is 20 Years Old And Long Overdue A Remaster
Really surprised it hasn't been remade yet or even remastered. Hopefully it's on someone's list for the Switch.
Re: Best Of 2022: From Chrono Trigger To Super Mario RPG, The Varied Influences Of Sea Of Stars
Looks so good. Patiently waiting.
Re: Editorial: Happy Holidays From Nintendo Life
Merry Christmas NL staff and community.
Re: Review: The Outbound Ghost - A Heartfelt But Ultimately Thin Paper Mario-Like
I did have interest in this but no more. Sad.
Re: Spike Chunsoft Shares New Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Trailer
I forgot about this game. Looks promising, hopefully it delivers. And hopefully there is some cover art for the standard edition too.
Re: Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed Is A Game About Taking Off People's Clothes
@nhSnork I watched some more videos of this and other Akiba games, I may have to check them out.
Re: Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed Is A Game About Taking Off People's Clothes
Well, I like the graphics and cut scenes, and the idea of visiting Akihabara in a game sounds fun. But the plot and gameplay sound ridiculous.
