Very happy we have a name and release date for BOTW2. But I'm disappointing there is no Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD ports. The "experts" were so sure about their "predictions" this time.
Releasing Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD on Switch seems like a no-brainer. There are probably a lot of people that didn't own the Wii U and missed out on them, like myself.
I would love ports/remasters of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on Switch or the next Switch. Like a lot of gamers I never owned a Wii U and missed out on those.
The game is supposed to come out in November, but there is zero official news? That is very strange if this is true. Hope it's true and hope the game is good. Love Avatar!
They don't need to. But I also don't know why they maintain their prices when Sony and Xbox titles are down to $20-$30 after being out for a few years. I don't think it's the cartridge media.
@PessitheMystic Yes, the trailer didn't say much of anything. I have zero interest in this. People collect the figures because they like the properties they represent: comics, cartoons, movies, etc. I don't know why anyone would play this game unless it was using licenses and not generic Funko Pop characters.
@Korgon No idea how to enjoy an NFT either. If it was hologram in 3-D space you could rotate, that would be about as close as you could get to the real thing. But I would rather hold the figure or look at it on my shelf.
I would love to see a Zelda and/or Metroid anime. Way more interested in that than live action. Dynamo doesn't have much anime in their history according to MAL but they could work together with another company if needed.
Nope, never heard of that one before. Makes we wonder what other regions would have gotten if they were released. Top loader was the pretty much the same the world over, the NES and Famicom on the other hand were way different looking.
The older the memories the harder they are to recall. I think it was 1982 or 1983. Played an unknown game on an Atari VCS at a friends house. Later I got the 2600 Junior for Christmas and remember many others games: Jungle Hunt, Battlezone, Real Sports Baseball, Desert Falcon, etc.
The Polium is a scam from the word Go. Touch ID, Gamecube logo, dubious claims about specs, now news is saying the console picture is stolen from another proposed system: the Oasis Console.
@Anachronism I wish they would just do pre-orders and produce product until people stop wanting it, or at least until interest has dwindled. I know this is different than a Special Edition game bundle, but they should do that with hard to find game consoles too. Why can't I order a product when it's out of stock but more are on on the way? Have retailers forgotten about back orders?
@JeanPaul Sadly you are correct. It doesn't matter if there are established voice actors they are not considered when doing the movie. There are tons of examples of this. Some of us kids from the 80s might recall how they cast Tiffany for the role of Judy in the Jetsons movie. This actually happened after Janet Waldo recorded her parts, they needed a marketing deal.
@Aurumonado I agree with you. Sadly Hollywood can't release an animated movie into theaters without using big name actors for the voices, obviously for marketing. I find this especially frustrating with IPs that have well established voice actors. For the movie Scoob! almost everyone was re-cast. I don't know how Frank Welker was still able to voice Scooby-Doo. It sucks IMO.
I first heard Billy voicing Naofumi in Shield Hero Season 1. Loved his performance. Every time I hear his voice work now I'll think of him and cry. Truly heartbreaking. Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends. May he rest in peace. 🙏😪

Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Were Restocked Today, Did You Get One? (US)
I give up on getting one of these. Why the heck don't they let us pre-order them? Never mind I already know the answer.
Re: Random: Kit And Krysta Claim They Were Nearly Fired Over Nuzlocke Pokémon Run
Nuzlocke Challenge sounds pretty cool, a good way to extend the life of a game, which may be an issue for some companies I suppose.
Re: Critically-Acclaimed Co-Op Game 'It Takes Two' Confirmed For Switch
This is a good get for the Switch.
Re: Sifu Punches Its Way To Switch In November
This is cool and unexpected.

Leakers got my hopes up with more Zelda ports but at least we have a date for BOTW2.
Re: 'The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom' Launches In May 2023
Very happy we have a name and release date for BOTW2. But I'm disappointing there is no Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD ports. The "experts" were so sure about their "predictions" this time.
Re: Nintendo Switch Is No Longer The Best-Selling Console Of 2022 In The UK
I know you have to report this on both sites. But most people probably don't really care.
Re: World Of Anterra Looks Like Skyrim On Super NES, Coming To Switch In 2023
Looks good. Hopefully it make it's goals and comes out.
Re: Playasia Celebrates 20 Years With New Video Game Publishing Branch
This is great news, especially if you like more physical games.
Re: Poll: Do You Actually Want Switch Ports Of Wind Waker And Twilight Princess?
Yes I "actually" want ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Unless you had a Wii U you probably want these if you are a Zelda fan.

Switch fans rejoice.
Re: Rumour: Avatar: The Last Airbender RPG Has Zelda: Breath Of The Wild-Style Visuals
The game is supposed to come out in November, but there is zero official news? That is very strange if this is true. Hope it's true and hope the game is good. Love Avatar!
Re: Sega Announces Space Channel 5 And Comix Zone Movies
Yikes. Odd choices for movie adaptions. Seriously, would rather see SEGA remake/remaster Skies of Arcadia or something.
Re: Talking Point: What Was Your First Legend Of Zelda Game?
The original Zelda on NES connected to a 13 inch color TV in my bedroom. Good times growing up in the 80s!
Re: Random: We've Been Waiting Over Half A Decade For A "New" Mainline Zelda Game
Development takes time, longer than it used to. Big whoop.
Re: Doraemon Story Of Seasons: Friends Of The Great Kingdom Sprouts This November On Switch
I wish Doraemon was more popular outside of Japan.
Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Nintendo Switch Listing Surfaces Online
Avatar franchise deserves good games, hoping whatever is coming is great.
Re: Video: Will Switch First-Party Games Ever Get A Permanent Price Drop?
They don't need to. But I also don't know why they maintain their prices when Sony and Xbox titles are down to $20-$30 after being out for a few years. I don't think it's the cartridge media.
Re: First 4 Figures Teases Legend Of Zelda 'Link On Horseback' Resin Statue
Wow, really nice but I'm sure it will over $1k.
Re: PSA: Are Your Switch Games Disappearing? You May Have Too Many - But You Can Fix It
I doubt I will ever get close to 2000. Problem solved.
Re: Inti Creates' New Project Is A Stunning Mash Up Of Castlevania And Mega Man
Looks really nice so far.
Re: Nintendo Rules Out Any Price Increase On The Switch In Japan... For Now
I hope none of them increases prices. We'll see.
And Apple? Good grief they already charge way too much for all their products.
Re: YouTube And Crunchyroll On Wii U Won't Be Available For Much Longer
Crunchyroll is less than $10/month and is so worth it if you like anime. Not all of their catalog is available for free.
Re: Digimon Survive Is Getting Review Bombed On Metacritic
@-wc- You are right on the money. Most extreme reviews online are motivated by something else or just garbage.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Has Leaked And Is Fully Playable On The Steam Deck
This sucks. I hope no fans of the game stumble on a spoiler. It's too easy now, even on Youtube.

Re: Exclusive: "The Farming Genre Is A Bit Tired" - How SunnySide Aims To Refresh The Farm Sim
I like that it's set in rural Japan. That seems like a unique setting for farming sims released outside of Japan.
Re: Random: Fan Art Depicts What A Metroid Anime Might Look Like
I would love to see a Zelda and/or Metroid anime. Way more interested in that than live action. Dynamo doesn't have much anime in their history according to MAL but they could work together with another company if needed.
Re: Random: Have You Seen This Cute, Unreleased Precursor To The Top Loader NES?
Nope, never heard of that one before. Makes we wonder what other regions would have gotten if they were released. Top loader was the pretty much the same the world over, the NES and Famicom on the other hand were way different looking.

Re: Dragon Quest Treasures Reveals Fresh Story And Character Details
This looks pretty cool.
Re: GameStop Staff Layoffs Are Announced As Chief Financial Officer Leaves
NFT and blockchain. Aren't those just words stupid people use to sound smart? Not that I'm accusing Gamestop of anything like that.
If they want to go down faster crypto may be the way to go.
Re: Sea Of Stars Shares In-Depth Look At Chrono Trigger-Inspired Combat

Re: Kazuki Takahashi, The Creator Of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Has Died

Re: Scalpers Set Their Sights On Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition
@Anachronism That is true for some things. But in the case of current consoles they are still making them.

Re: Indie RPG Sea Of Stars Has Been Delayed To Next Year
No big deal. I'll be excited to see more when the time comes. We can wait patiently.
Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Were Restocked Today, Did You Get One? (North America)
I'm giving up on getting one. I had no issue with buying the SNES and NES controllers but N64 is elusive as all get out.
Re: Review: Wreckfest - An Absolute Banger (In A Good Way)
Glad Switch players can finally play. There are some crazy cars and others: lawn mowers, bumper cars, etc.

Re: Persona 3, 4, and 5 Seemingly Confirmed For Everything But Switch
I hope they come to Switch. Nintendo players deserve the games. The support for other Atlus titles is immense.
