Surely Liz Truss hardly counts, heheh.

I know I'm in the minority, and I'm happy for those who like these games, but I freakin' hate Picross!

There. I said it and feel better. Whew.

@rjejr
Watching at 32x speed is a thing, eh? Who'd a thunk it.

Hope you and yours are well, friend.

@GoshJosh
I know. I'm just so old school that I tend to manually save even with auto save enabled. Old habits die hard.

@GoshJosh
Tbh, if your child needs to go to the ER, saving a video game is low on the list of priorities.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy
Omg. Don't give them ideas!

@HeftyLaces
I've most likely been gaming longer than you've been alive. I am at the stage of life where my income is finite whilst price rises for essentials are not. I can support one system and it's always Nintendo. I also use steam.

$100 or $150 off a new system would be huge for me. It's a matter of perspective. Ergo backwards compatibility is important to me.

All I'm saying is that we can't judge others' priorities by our own circumstances.

@HeftyLaces
Is it really that hard to understand that some/many people only have one Switch and need to trade up when a new console comes out?

A lot of either humble brags or lack of empathy exhibited in threads like these.

I can't really afford a new system right now, so later is better for me.

Just give me Windwaker and Twilight Princess, Nintendo. I'm begging here. And can we please hear something positive about backwards capability.

@FishyS
I was ridiculously pleased when I got my wings, lol.

I'm not a huge Pokemon player tho I like Arceus. I've watched some game play of Pal. I find the art style a bit jarring with the realistic world filled with cartoonish critters.

But the part I didn't care for is beating these cartoonish critters with a stick or an axe to capture them. It just felt wrong. I know it's just a game but it didn't feel right. And guns. Ugh.

This is merely my take on it and no judgement on anyone who thinks it's great. Just not for me.

I'm busy with Immortal Life on my pro book, so I'm happy.

One of my favourite games on the 3DS. I've always played it solo and had a blast. As others have said it's charming, good to look at. It also has a very snarky sense of humour, which I really like.

I still dig out my N2DS and play it. I think you'd enjoy it.

@-wc-
Imho, you are spot on. Not all of us can seemingly detach ourselves from all emotion. Your take is your take and you needn't justify it.

@FatBeverly
I apologize as I didn't realise you were merely playing grown up, you wacky, random, not average bundle of fun! You keep sashay-ing, smirking, and believing you know anything about taste. (Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch, anyone? Talk about simple!)

And some day, when you're a big girl, perhaps you won't feel the need to try so hard convincing strangers on the 'net how tough you are. I mean: how dare anyone disagree with you!

Now, knock yourself out replying but you have bored me and I won't bother reading it..

Ok, I'm done. Shoo!

@FatBeverly
Oh, such a burn! I may never recover. Whatever will I do????

Btw, it may be that simple, but so are you.

@FatBeverly
Disingenuous because it doesn't agree with your take?

I've enjoyed the game. It's not perfect but a damn sight better the HM: TWoA. But that's just my opinion. That's how it works.

I'm impressed with the number of psychiatrists and psychologists here at NL willing to diagnose a person from 3 or 4 translated paragraphs.

The huge open world just looks way too empty to me, judging from the game play I've watched. Those eyes freak me out, too.

Got burned by One World; this looks too similar.

I'm glad I don't have the money or desire for this one: it's fugly.

I've been coming to NL for 10+ years.

This is the first time I've felt embarrassed for them.

@Ryu_Niiyama
That's in the upcoming Princess Peach game

What is the bag made of? Is it plastic, cloth? Curious minds want to know.

Boardroom gets call from warehouse: "We just found tons of red plastic in barrels. Do we toss them or what?"

Boardroom dithers then has lightbulb moment: "Red=Mario. Mario Wonder releasing soon. Let's make all red Switch Oleds with just enough details to make them seem legit. Sure, they'll be ugly but our fans will buy anything! It's a go, go, go!"

@LadyCharlie
Um...I don't think I'm going to be googling that, heheh.

Wouldn't fusing a frozen item result in a smoothie ride?

I'll show myself out.

@Kasparius
You might want to take some medicine for that. Maybe a salve.

My ascend dot is blue. Ok, leaning toward aquamarine, but definitely not green.

My Samsung watch already does this and is connected to my phone, which I don't have to sleep with.

I'm not sure who this is for.

Omg! Be still my heart! Enough, Ninty: I can't take the excitement of such extravagence!!!

@Sisilly_G
That all sounds very "keep them barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen while I go out with my sword and slay the dragons."

One of societies biggest changes came during WWII when women found they could actually do more than that. I graduated from high school 100 years ago. Well, 1968. Girls, even smart, talented ones were not encouraged to take the higher math and science courses: they're just going to get married/pregnant (in whichever order) so why bother. Plus, men had families to support whilst women worked for a bit extra pocket money.

Opportunity is the key, imho. The lack of it makes a huge difference. You see the sexes roles as you do because it's what society has said is the norm. Change is hard. Imho, a lot of the anger straight white males feel stems from the fear of losing however much or little power they feel they have left. There's bound to be resentment.

Not all women would be good company executives. Neither would all men. But the opportunity needs to be open to all that may be.

@PlasmaticSnake "Maybe, on average, men naturally have more of a tendancy towards leadership than women."

Welcome to 1950.

I got all issues of Nintyfresh, which with shipping from the UK cost me about $22/per issue.

I think the original guy left and it's been uncertain since then. It's a shame.

My copy is supposed to arrive from Amazon July10. I like guide books, especially for a game as intricate and huge as TotK. Otherwise there are a lot of things I won't even ever know about.

@rjejr said: "which makes me think Nintendo actually is embarrassed about it."

BINGO!!!!

@Eggolor
Yeah, I had a D'oh moment there. I have PTSD and sometimes my memory is non-existent. Or else I just forget where I put it.

This one made me really happy. Hopefully 7 Stars will be next!

@Anti-Matter
Calm down. You've been known to have strong opinions and been judgemental about games others like that you find offensive.

Personally, I think this game is junk. But I don't have to buy it and if others like it, fine. It doesn't affect me in any way.

It's pretty easy, really.

Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

I'm intrigued by this one and looking forward to it.

Horses gots hands???

For me, the best of the bunch will always be Trio of Towns. I still go back and play it. Perfection.

@Ryu_Niiyama
Right. That one is a bit weird, especially the dialogue from some of the guys, lol.

I am not good at puzzles but am enjoying the TotK shrines. They feel more organic to me. My brain just works better with them.

@Ryu_Niiyama
"Plus it cheapens the cycle so much. Ganon basically bombs Hyrule to the stone age and murders tons of people to help two teenagers hook up? That’s the shallowest narrative ever."

That same narrative happens in almost every religion in the world.

@Jhena
"I do not really believe in a time line. Link was even a christian in A Link To The Past."
What???

Through it all: the saving of their worlds, battles epic and small, travels all over the map, all the many, many quests...for me The Legend of Zelda has always been a love story. There's even the unrequited love of Zora princesses for Link to spice up the mix. But Zelda and Link are forever, well, linked. Even Ganandorf's evil has a roll to play.

I see them all coming back time after time at different ages and stages til they get it right.

It's ok if you think I'm crazy.

It may be a great game, but it's fugly.

We once lived in Hyland, NY. Don't remember seeing any sky islands. Though there were a few bokoblins about.

I know I'm the odd one out, here, but I want games not movies from Nintendo.

I only had 2 Amiibos, a Tom Nook which I have no idea how I got and the wolf link one, which I bought because I liked it. And Twilight Princess is one of my favourite games.

Now I have 3. I am surprised at the detail and quality of the piece. Again, it's just because I like it.

@Anti-Matter
It happens on many games. You aren't interested in TotK anyway, so don't worry about it.
