A good old proper full fledged nintendo freaking direct that's what's left my man!

First a partner showcase then a pokemon presentation and next is an indie world...
We all know what's left now.

I've played a lot of Ridge Racer 64 and loved it! I also remember giving type 4 a go back in the days and I've played some emulated arcade games, I'll be happy to give this one a go at some point in the next few months probably.

The originals have an old school line drawing that makes them very cool but in terms of composition I always thought X and Y were above the rest.

Never played forever but absolutely loved super meat boy it's a classic in my house.

Apart from the hair which is clearly better on ps5, the lights and how they reflect could very much be just a matter of taste to be honest. It is very well done.

I typically don't play Pokémon. I've played like two games in the whole series from start to finish and they were Blue and I believe it was X not Y but yeah one of these two. They were quite good but it simply never was a priority for me and now that I have even less gaming time I'm not starting now.

THAT BEING SAID. If I ever play these I'll definitely start with Browt. Look at this expression on his face he looks so serious/jaded he is awesome. And also good batch overall.

It's very impressive.
Also for those wondering they have fixed their motion controls mixed with inverted camera shenanigans from the past couple games on switch.

The game looks and plays really well I can't wait to dive back into it.

@Oppal21
As I've said I like that it's b-movie material, it's not a problem to me.

@Olliemar28
Hey there there's just a couple things I was wondering about. First how are the motion controls in general ?

And also and most importantly is it possible to have the Y axis inverted for the camera AND the motion controls NOT inverted at the same time ?

It wasn't the case for RER1 and 2 which made the motion controls pretty much unusable for inverted gamers. Has this issue been solved here?

My take is that it would be a pretty good idea even from their pov but really they probably feel like it's one of their only remaining brand defining franchise and they probably want to keep it.

I've got two questions though.

1 - Does it have motion controls?

2 - Is it possible to invert the Y axis for the camera in the settings while having the motion controls not inverted? Or are they strangely tied to one another like it was the case in the switch version of RER1 and 2?

Wah.

That's it that's all I have to say but it means I'm happy.

I thought we all agreed the plot in RE is just stupid fun to be honest. I like it but it's not to be taken very seriously. It's like zombie b-movie stuff.

I hear Innsmouth is nice and Jack Bros is the other really good game next to Wario. Mario Clash is supposed to be nice arcadey fun also so good things are coming.

I'm an avid NSO user and yeah, that's absolutely beyond me.
I'm glad for those who see value in it though.

looking at the picture of the Wii U Pro controller

Dude look at this beauty.
I don't care what anyone says this is still the best shape and button layout for any controller ever. So comfortable. So nice for 2d and 3d games alike (as in dpad focused and twin stick games alike).

I dream of a perfect controller to end all controllers, the shape and button layout of the WiiU Pro with the plastics and buttons of the NS2 Pro.

That would basically be the NS2 Pro and the WiiU Pro having a baby. I keep leaving those two in the same drawer at night hoping they would socialize and maybe something could happen but no luck so far. I don't get it they're both so smart, nice and sexy.

This should have been improved upon, not just replicated.

It's okay to admit the VB made many things wrong Nintendo. You do mistakes Nintendo and it's okay, you're not god.

Thw two biggest mistakes imo : no headset and no controller. I would have loved a VB controller. Why is this console the only one that is not getting its NSO controller? Also as people have said, if you bought a 64 NSO controller once the service is down you still get to keep a cool controller that's already compatible with pretty much anything under the sun. The VB though? Once the service is done all you have left is useless plastic and pretty big at that.

@Lynel_Richie
I agree it's one of these instances where Nintendo does not really align with its own "we care" reputation they like to pretend they have.

We know for sure that interactive screens are a detriment for developing brains as you said. Some say no screens AT ALL before three. That said, for a bit of fun with mom or dad here and there and as long as it is accompanied by the adult and not just leaving the kid with a screen in hands, then I guess I'd rather stretch Mario's face for a couple minutes with my boy and have a laugh rather than showing him something that is not appropriate.

Now I want an N64 thing with a middle part that sticks out from under the unit. That would so stupid/awesome.

@Solid_Python
Nice. Does it lose it quality much while running at 60?

@brakeman90
I agree. Not only snes and GC but retro gaming in general is 60fps land. Except for the 64 and the psx that is. Those two were pretty terrible at that.

No online on a system that natively has something like gamechat is a little baffling.

Thomas Mahler: "Oh hey! It runs. Now we just need to make it run well!"

Good on you man, that didn't seem to bother bethesda last time.

Funny they would specifically mention Hz and not fps. I wonder how this runs overall because of that. Time for digital foundry to educate people with a video about this update!

VF and SF on Nintendo <3

I loved that game aesthetic. I love how it was different from the more classic BotW. I liked the slightly more disturbing and out there design ideas. There was definitely a MM vibe to how it was a twisted reflection of BotW. I really think in the end I liked tears better than breath. Breath I'm sure I'll never forget but tears makes me want to get back to it more.

Wow. There seems to be so much going on in the this movie what the heck. Fingers crossed but I'm a lot more confident in the sequel since I was pretty pessimistic about the original and ended up loving it!

I love pretty much all of the posters but something about the pose and the general layout of elements on the Peach poster I thinks stands out from the rest. I went for that one!

They seem quite different from one another, in their respective tones at least.

@Splash_Woman
Yeah that made me laugh also.

@timp29
What made goldeneye this successful is very contextual though. It was the rise of couch multiplayer and the discovery of console fps as a mainstream alternative to its pc counterpart.

My point is I don't there will ever be another goldeneye. As for me, I like goldeneye and I'm more or less interested in this, but I don't think it's trying to do the same thing really.

I very much regret that the Perfect Dark sequel was shot down by Microsoft though, I was very interested in this one and it looked more in line with goldeneye and perfect dark.

It's green for me this week. It's weird that they went for the Rayman 2 designs for the box art though. Even weirder the Japanese version with many Raymen.

Raymen is definitely the name of a future spin off à la Kirby mass attack.

As a fan of the first games (MG1/2/S) and not particularly liking the how the series evolved from here, I really like Ghost Babel so it's great that they have not forgotten it exists. 3 I thought was nice though not in its first version. 2, 4 and 5 unfortunately weren't as good for me.

This is awesome, very good job Capcom!

The battle between this and Bloodstained 2 is going to be an epic one.
In the end we gamers win anyway!

EDIT : also they probably know it but they need to include Ayami Kojima and Michiru Yamane! Castlevania lives and dies by its music and the gothic anime aesthetic is a staple of the series. If they go with the comics vibe of the series which it seems like that's what they're willing to do, they should definitely mix with more traditional Castlevania designs and have Kojima on board for illustrations and character designs.

They really want to milk that concept. Only 3 games?

Other than that the improvements to MGS3 is excellent news but I'm still hoping they release the remake on NS2.

@IronMan30
I beat the game on WiiU. Loved it back then.

Star Ocean and Mana here.
No luck I guess.

Can't wait for Elliot though!

I'll take anything Rayman of course. That being said I would prefer a full on remake using the Legends engine rather than a remaster of the first game.

And as I've read here, if it is just a remaster, then a trilogy collection would be a much better decision.

And also of course what I'm really hoping for is a 3d platformer Rayman 4 (or 6).

Okay that's neat it was a really good ost, one of the best the series has to offer.

That being said Iam eagerly waiting for Color Splash, that one is one of Nintendo's absolute best. I remember saying specifically when Origami released, it's a nice game but the ost is the one area where it doesn't top its predecessor.

@Axelay71
It looks neat, it doesn't seem to be compatible with NS2 so I'll wait for reviews but thanks for the information.

I'm actually surprised to see this many people voting for EU/NA. I thought it was an easy win for Japan.

I see most of what I complained about is being addressed except for the faerie character being ultra cringe worthy, that apparently hasn't changed. I hope they are at least letting us turn off her voice. As in keep the others but shut her up.

Also people thought the character was too slow? That's strange to me it felt great imo.

Maybe Aonuma's statement means the next Zelda game will take place during a time of war. They've toyed with this idea before with TP's horse section against hordes of Moblins and TotK's squad based attacks against enemy stronghold. It would not be that surprising.

Why they didn't develop a headstrap this time around is absolutely beyond me.
I'll be waiting for third party headstraps and then if I can find something satisfying I might bite.

@tanaka2687
What makes it this good for you?

The Pragmata demo was really nice. Also I'll finally beat Sylux's shiny metal bottom in Metroid Prime 4 and I'm still playing Mario Kart World on a regular basis.

I also bought Olija and I quite like it. Excellent little platformer with super fluid movement and a great atmosphere. The plan is to finish that one before I start Ys III which I also bought on sale around new year's eve.

I tried out the demo and loved it!
I spent about half an hour completing it, adjusting the settings and getting used to the controls and then saw there's a timer with a completion time so I had to try again.
The second I rushed through and it was great going through it one more time once you get the controls down. It felt super fluid and satisfying. Also you unlock a couple stuff for the second playthrough so it's worth it to give it another go. Spent another 15 minutes on my second try. Definitely interested and waiting for reviews but I'm more than likely to get it.

@h3s
Now just imagine.
I started Wonder and immediately fell in love but also immediately realized that the game would be on the easy side so I thought I am NOT using badges and went for no badge run. And I do believe I had more fun with the game thanks to that decision but yeah, when I reached the last level after 100% the game badge free I was a little disappointed to say the least. I had to learn all the badges just for that level. I still completed it but it was not the final challenge I was hoping for.

That doesn't bode well at all.
Let's wait for the whole thing to be reviewed though.

@Elock
I agree the darksouls mechanic was probably implemented more because it was popular at the time than anything else and honestly does not merge very well with the metroidvania formula.
Still better than a 6/10 though.
