From what I've heard World really is not a high point of the series so it doesn't matter too much.

It's... very subtle, to say the least.

Gaaah I'm dying to try this out please release a demo Capcom!

1 meh game, but 2 very good ones.
Definitely worth it.

I saw in the trailer, is lagiacrus there?

Oh hey that thing exists!
Still not free, is it?

I still want 3 lap races but this is cool.

Yeah well, the unreal engine comments just really scream ignorance to me. The art direction is great and it absolutely works with what they intended to do in the original but didn't have the means to. The old artwork absolutely give that exact same vibe. Just like for Starfox they went back and thought okay what was the intent originally. It just works.

Here we go again!
I can't believe they're doing two in a row that's so awesome
Absolutely can't wait! I suspect there is more in this one than people thought there would be. Just a hunch.

@andykara2003
Yep I agree with that too. The voice acting doesn't seem nearly as good as the one in BotW or TotK. I really don't like the childish thing. Kids don't have to sound like idiots. Listen to Ghibli voice acting in general, kids sound like real kids, not like saturday morning cartoons. It's doable. And nintendo has done it in the past.

I hope there is a way to turn it off.

@AussieMcBucket
Fingers crossed. I am definitely in the don't change it too much team but even playing the original, Hyrule field really is the part that feels unfinished or rushed. Anyways I am beyond excited for this, as I was for Starfox so in some ways I support the way they are doing remakes.

@SalvorHardin
Good one

It looks phenomenal what can I say. I know I would have liked just a bit more modifications but hey who knows they might have not mentioned everything.

Well, considering the main novelty there seems to be purely about the visuals, I'd rather not watch it to avoid being spoiled.

I have to say I'm a little disappointed that they did not change Hyrule Field. I did not expect them to do anything more but I did expect them to do that. The field is just a whole lot of nothing. Too bad.

It looks so insanely beautiful and I love it he artstyle so much. Man I really appreciate how they are redoing these 64 games. The art is so cool and specific. Like there is no way this could be an ai thing for example. It has this touch of "I did not expect that but man does it look good". In this ocean of sameness that is game art direction, it's just the good amount of curve ball that makes you think you didn't know you liked curveballs this much. It's just so distinctively nintendo.

@TAndvig
I agree I hope there's an option to get rid of voices altogether.

Every single characters look absolutely terrific. I adore the aesthetic there!

Oh come on, where's Paris?
sigh

@Fizza
It's difficult to change Castlevania I've got to admit so kudos for trying. But really I think one of the departure that doesn't seem to go down well is how it looks quite simply. They've abandoned the manga/gothic look for something that has a lot more comic vibe and went and looked for much more western stereotypes that granted where here at the beginning of the saga, but Castlevania has become so much more.

I hope the game is good and I would like to like it. The more I see it the less it looks uniquely Castlevania. It sure looks like dead cells though. I might very well be wrong, I even hope I am. For now I am waiting for some sort of NS2 confirmation anyway. Forgetting about the nintendo crowd is also one of the no so good sign that they don't seem to be super interested in the old school fandom.

Look unless you're a die hard netflixvania fan and don't know much about the series I really don't see how you could vote for US.

Unfortunately though I suspect you very much are the target audience.

Gotta love Nintendo.
The vocal minority is like "World is so lame, I don't even see why I would stop playing 8 instead." And what is Nintendo's reaction?

"Why, we're gonna make 8 even better AND for free!"

Either they got the wrong memo or they just really don't care. Probably the latter. Keep doing you Nintendo.

@N00BiSH

Where did the hair go?

This is legit one of the very best episodes. The comedy and breaking the fourth wall is so funny to me.

@ThriftyMutt

Why is 3 better than the others?

Is Nier Automata open world though?

I am super hyped for this, it looks very competent.

Please don't release this too soon so that I have time to finish at least a first playthrough before it's there. Because as soon as this is out I won't have a choice but to make it my default outfit forever and ever.

@Genichiro
Because they hate consummers? But they sure love their money though.

The bass player from MK is a god.

@Coalescence
Bloodstained is good. The retro series is also really good.

Not buying this on NS1 ever.

Nintendo why do you do this. They'll be back faster than you can react. Besides, where's your preservation initiative? Where's your lobby for an national video game database? How are the discussions going with the other big actors concerning this issue? Littérature had done that in its time in most countries. Cinema's done that also. When do we start taking ourselves more seriously and what is your contribution on the matter?

@Alex_Starfate
That's pretty cool. Isn't it the kind of stuff that should be taken to the European level though?

EDIT : my bad. I guess I'm too old school for the current state of the EU.

Our princess is on another adventure.

I appreciate them modernizing Peach I really like the two caps. Might go for them.

I've got too much of a backlog already to buy a giant rpg that I've already played to death and add it to the pile. That being said I've always rated Oblivion "good".

It's filled with good ideas but technically has quite a lot of issues and mechanically some elements are kind of broken. And, well, both in terms of world design and story Morrowind and Skyrim are better. It's always been the lesser game out of the three but of course it is comparing a good game to very good games. What I mean by that is that Oblivion is still very enjoyable.

I love that the only thing that changes is wario's nose color. Well apart from the main color of course. I love that the JP one has a traditional font for the title as it follows the game thematically with its weird absurd semi-serious announcer voice and aesthetic.

But still I think the most striking is the yellow one overall (EDIT : since the South Korean one isn't there to vote for). Voted for EU.

We all have our preferences of course but too me the 64 is really the console that completely cemented my nintendo fanboyism. The nes and snes made me really like the classics but growing up I definitely could have changed my habits and switch to sony. Especially since I was a teen at the time and at the right age to be susceptible to fall for the whole grown up "mature" gaming Sony was claiming it had on the psx. Which was a fad of course and we could have seen it coming since it was the exact same angle Sega had against ninty and it also was a fad.

But then what happened is I found the psx extremely lackluster. Imo pretty bad hardware with games that were just very approximative in their gameplay and looked honestly kind of terrible for no good reason either since apart from looking ugly, 3d brought nothing to the table since gameplay wise most games still played exactly like they could have played in 2d. A failed attempt at a new era of gaming, that's the psx for me. Plus it brought with it the first wave of casual for which the cliché was a bunch of new gamers whose priority was the amount of boobs and gore in their "new" games.

The n64 on the other hand, I played Mario and Ocarina on the same night when I brought it home. And it was magical. Precise gameplay, real immersive 3d, innovative controls. A real feeling of control in a real 3d environment that would really be impossible to achieve in 2d. All of that was helped by impeccable art direction and an attention to details that put most other pc or console teams to shame. I could instantly see "okay, I see what these guys are doing, I see what they want to achieve and I respect them for their work." And I became a fan for the rest of my life to this day. The N64 is monumental and it is a pivotal moment for the whole industry for a lot of genres. Its library of great games is not huge but it is still influential in even nowadays gaming. It holds a space in the the history of gaming that no other console does.

Looks like medieval kingdom hearts to me.

Like others have said I did all the classic ones, but I don't think I'll ever touch Bananza again.

@premko1
Can you just drive around in solo mode in the demo?

@Judal27
Haha I know, it should really be at least an option in every game. It is definitely linked to the way people apprehend a 3d space so yeah, to each their own and we should definitely have the choice. I'm just old enough to have learned gaming when inverted was the norm. I remember playing Dark Souls 3 with a friend passing the controller back and forth and every single time, we had to go to the settings and switch invert y on and off. Usually we'd forget of course and just move the camera in absurd ways facing this or that boss and getting miserably crushed. We'd stare at the game over screen and sigh "forgot to change the Y axis again".

@Judal27
Inverted Y axis is the way. Inverted forever!

The gamecube had a strange showing for Mario and Zelda with these games obviously not as polished and feeling unfinished. Anyway I'll always love Sunshine. Apart from Odyssey it is the game where Mario plays the best imo. So smooth and precise.

One of the very best Mario OST and that's saying something!

80 euros games should automatically be on the cartridge come on. Premium price for a premium product.

It looks quite good though at least.

They look very, VERY good. But it's hard to justify buying those. I already own a Pro2 and it's pretty expensive. I have tons of compatible controllers with my mobapad M6hd and my Pro1 and also the 8bitdo SN30. I mean come on my joycons 2 show no sign of drifting either and I just REALLY don't need another controller.

@AstroTheGamosian
And I agree with 100% of what you said. I replayed Other M a number of times and though it is certainly not perfect, the gameplay is tight the story is strangely executed but filled with good intentions. It is also rather bold to deal with a strong female lead and the theme of motherhood. That is quite uncommon and pretty bold in video gaming. If anything I think Other M mainly showed that the fandom has no idea what they want, and that it was a bet that was too risky if you consider the licence and the state it was in, they should have done something safer. Other M is definitely one of Nintendo's riskiest move and that's saying something. What people actually want from Metroid is something I think Dread really helped with, but to some extent the Prime series shows they are still struggling with this issue.

As you said I would love an Other M 2 that adresses some of the issues.

I'm sorry but seeing what they've done with FFVII, I'm not sure I want them to touch legacy content ever again. I respect that some people liked it but as far as I am concerned they don't seem to be willing to do what I would like them to do with their older games.

The pro controller looks awesome. I love that they went beyond the usual black and gold zelda design. The joycons also look brilliant.

@Maxz
Brilliant! Now I've also learned a word in my own language. Thanks for that!
The French page confirms the two words have exactly the same meaning which is a dark, nebulous atmosphere with some amount of fog or a misty quality to it. Caliginous sounds more fun for sure if only just for the raising eyebrows that might follow.

@DemonKow
DON'T LISTEN TO ONDORE'S LIES!

I've checked and it turns its pretty much everyone. Apparently their approach is to use every single character that's even slightly important to the og game's plot. The only one missing is Gabranth for some weird reason and Cid but other than that they are all here. Which is great they are really well remade in pixel art form they look awesome.

Like it or not, Other M is canonical, not a spin-off and part of the main series.

@Maxz
I've learned a word today. Pretty cool word I don't think we have an equivalent for it in french which might be why it's not referenced on wordreference since it's a translation dictionary.

@GrailUK
It is "just" a mobile game in its complete form but that doesn't mean it is a bad game as we've seen with Octopath 0. But yeah I'm not super interested in it myself.

I wonder who the FFXII rep is.
