Re: Nintendo Shares Colourful Graphic Featuring The Games From September's Direct

For me:
Peach and WarioWare are the highlights.
Peach since it looks like something new, and Move It! because it looks Smooth Moves 2. Get It Together was okay, but I only borrowed it, cleared the main campaign over a weekend, and didn't look back. Smooth Move still comes out at parties 17 years later.

The remakes (Paper Mario, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Luigi's Mansion 2, Another Code (R)) are great, because new players will get to experience them, and I don't need to buy them again!

None of these hold up against Personal Trainer Cooking and America's Test Kitchen: Let's Get Cooking on the DS, where at the end of every stage you have a completely delicious food item to eat.

Re: Video: We Share Our Thoughts On Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom After 100+ Hours In The Game

In hindsight, BotW is the better, more self-contained experience.
I played TotK entirely without the paraglider, and loved all the challenges that brought. Had I played with the glider, I think I would have considered every challenge far too easy. For instance, there is a certain area with minecarts where I would have been tempted to skip entire puzzles, but lacking the glider, I actually used the carts and had a great time doing it.
I've cleared every shrine too, that was especially fun to puzzle out.
Nitpicks:
House-building: Why aren't there windows or colors other than green? Why can't the game auto-fill-in walls for me?

Re: Poll: Which Dormant Nintendo Franchise Would You Most Like To See Return?

nukatha

Donkey Kong Country, Kid Icarus, and Star Fox don't count as 'dormant' to me yet.
And don't tell me that Uprising was 11 years ago. IT IS STILL NEW.

1080 is my personal pick. I love Avalanche, the series absolutely deserves a new entry.
As for the others:
Balloon Fight: the Nintendoland minigame actually covered this well enough.
Chibi-Robo: Not opposed to it as long as it is in the style of the first game.
Custom Robo: I still need to finish the GC version.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze wasn't that long ago. Let Retro finish Metroid first.
Elite Beat Agents: Given the touch-screen focus, this should wait until we have a true dual-screen Wii U successor.
Eternal Darkness: There is a LOT to work with here, and the first game ends with a sequel hook. I'm game.
Excite (Bike/Truck/Bots): More than a new game, just get the Wii games (especially the Wiiware Excitebike) on the Switch as direct ports.
F-Zero: Oh absolutely, but a good ol' cube running GX at 480p still looks and feels great.
Golden Sun: Never played, no opinion
Kid Icarus: Uprising does deserve a sequel, but as Hades mentioned at the end, we've got some time before that happens.
Mother: The first two games have no need for updated releases. Mother 3 should get a US release, but unless Itoi is part of the project, there shouldn't be more.
Nintendogs: It didn't sell 3DS consoles, it won't sell Switches. But on a new dual-screen Wii-U-esque console, it might work.
Pokémon Pinball: Inoffensive, go for it.
Punch-Out!!: Not sure how this would evolve beyond the Wii game, but and HD release that includes the Doc Louis fight wouldn't be bad.
Rhythm Heaven: I only have the DS game, more of it would be fine, but I'm glad the team made a Warioware: Smooth Moves sequel before a Switch Rhythm Heaven game.
Sin & Punishment: I have both, but haven't played. Oh the neverending backlog.
Star Fox: Zero isn't that old. It can rest for now.
Wave Race: Pairs well with 1080, but I prefer snowboarding. However, for the next console, a new Wave Race that demonstrates how amazing water physics can be in 2024+ would be greatly appreciated. It would make for a good launch title/marketable tech demo.

Re: Soapbox: Getting The Master Sword In Tears Of The Kingdom Is Zelda At Its Best

Thinking through Master Sword pulls:
ALttP and ALBW: Vanilla, can't go wrong with them.
Ocarina of Time: Absolutely awesome transition to the future.
Wind Waker: The castle comes to life, wonderful
Twilight Princess: Mostly relief of no longer being forced in Wolf mode
Skyward Sword: The music finally plays when the sword is blessed, but that isn't really a pull.
Hyrule Warriors: The back end of the level becomes a total slaughter, this part was awesome.
BotW: Absolutely excellent.
AoC: Immediately destroy the dark wizard dude with it. It feels VERY fulfilling.
TotK: I have to agree, truly brilliant.
