Wii U: Still the only console that allows you to legally play every home console Zelda game all in the one place, and many of the handheld Zelda games too!
I loved going here when exploring Melbourne. Melbourne has so many good video game spaces; besides the Nintendo experience there’s Fortress Melbourne which is a gamers paradise and has an awesome themed tavern, Bartronica, which has drinks and loads of old consoles and arcade games, Critical Hit, which might as well be a Pokémon Centre, there’s a hotel with Mario themed rooms, Pokémon and Animal Crossing themed bao buns and other desserts from ‘Son In Law’, permanent game exhibitions at ACMI, not to mention PAX AUS which comes to town every year. It’s a real shame Nintendo experience is gone but hopefully something else will arrive to take its place because Melbourne sure loves its games.
It won’t come to the current Switch but Nintendo’s next console will likely launch in late 2022 or sometime in 2023; Street Fighter VI will probably launch around the same time. It wouldn’t surprise me to see it as a launch title on a next gen Nintendo console.
As an Australian who already completed Disco Elysium last year and who will likely import a physical copy of the final cut from eBay or Amazon, I find the classification board’s futile attempts to restrict this game hilarious.
@SM3DASislit 1. People not citing 3D land as their ‘favourite’ Mario game does not mean it has been forgotten. 2. People talk about 3D World because there is buzz about the title being released and because it’s one of the few Wii U exclusives not to get a Switch port yet. This also has nothing to do with 3D Land being forgotten; there’s just less reason to be talking about it right now. 3. Of course 3D World would have sold more copies if the Wii U had sold more consoles, just as 3D Land would have sold more copies if the 3DS was even more successful. The attach rate remains is still very high for both though, with about 1 in 5 3DS owners picking up 3D Land.
This game sold 13 million copies, making it one of the most successful games on the 3DS, compared to 3D World on Wii U’s 5 million. This game was never forgotten, it was embraced wholeheartedly.
@GameOtaku Breath of the Wild is far and away the highest selling Zelda game of all time, which is incredible. Just because some other games are also killing it with sales doesn’t take away from that achievement.
Star Fox Zero was honestly terrible. We already have a great Star Fox game on Switch, it’s called ‘Starlink’ and will only set you back about $15 these days.
@LuciferOnReddit Your description of needing to buy additional weapons to complete the game is completely untrue. I completed the story comfortably with simply the standard inclusions in the base pack, playing with Fox and the Arwing the entire time, and wouldn’t consider myself a particularly skilled player. This game is good value if you pick up the base pack on sale.
This was my favourite game as a kid. The Master System II was my second console after my Atari 5600 and having this game built in turned me into a Sega fanboy who didn’t touch Nintendo stuff until years later. I could never get past the part where one of the henchmen returns for a second time and his head starts flying around after you win the janken match! Looking forward to finally finishing this with a little help from that rewind function, haha.
If you have an external hard drive attached to your Wii U then you can run multiple saves. Just backup from internal memory to the hard drive then either have the drive connected or disconnected when you play. The Wii U defaults to the hard drive connected save file but runs the one off the internal memory if the drive is not attached. This is also a good way to backup your save data.

No mention of ‘Wandersong’? It’s only the most wholesome game ever made, no big deal 🤷♂️

ARMS and Pokken are on there but Dragonball FighterZ doesn’t make the cut? Sad day for fighting game fans.
Re: Don't Start A New Game Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild If You Want To Keep Your Save Data
@mortenb Depends if you already have a spare hard drive. I'd say just having it either plugged in or not plugged in to use 2 saves is pretty easy.
