Id like there to be more open world top down Zelda games. A link Between Worlds is my all time favorite Zelda game and not another franchise taking the mantel. It's been over a decade, I'd really like to see another like that. But it's own world and villain like Minish Cap.
@Tasuki dude if only. That game is the best. I'm just holding out now at this point that they'll release like a Zelda collection or something on the next console like they did on game cube. Maybe the collection will be called like "remasters and spiritual successors" and have all the hits over the WiiU and 3DS eras and the 3DS titles are upgraded to HD.
I like the look so much more than the Zelda oled, but it's only a handheld... I do take my switch everywhere, and mostly play handheld but hands are bigger, I don't think I can justify it, but Zelda special editions get me like Everytime.
@ShonenJump121 it looks like this is just the shovel knight campaign. Treasure trove has 4 (or 5) campaigns, which I actually like more than shovel knights. Id just get treasure trove. It's awesome, and will keep you busy. You also can get it physical, which I also prefer.
I do own treasure trove on 3DS, switch and WiiU, so I'm a fan for sure. The two questions I have lingering are if they have the ps4 and xbox bosses and if it's like $10. Id happily pick it up on a sale for like half of that in a year. Or straight out of the gate at $5, but I doubt it, I'm in no hurry. But I want to know what all is in there. Love yacht club, but want to spend my money on new games as well.
I've tried monster Hunter a few times and always end up trading it in. Not cup of tea unfortunately, but am grateful they are setting the trend for porting 3DS games. Lots of good one sin that library.
One thing that really draws me to Nintendo life is Alex's honesty in reviews. There are some games I don't agree with but I do agree here. The original was just ok, I was sad there were no portrait ghosts, and this hd rerelease looks almost identical. I'm glad 3 came out but even then it was a tad long for me, it's hard to beat the original.
Except the final boss is more on the unfair side.
I don't own any. The only ones that tempt me are the Dread ones. No space and kinda not that kind of gamer. I do think their cool and like I kinda implied, I get the appeal.
So I'm excited for this game, and if it ran on PS3 it has to run well on switch right? I don't care if it doesn't get updated visuals, I am not a switch owner for visuals. I just hope they treat it like Sonic Frontiers, just downgrade it and make it run on switch. I'm just in it for the fun.
I'd be happy with just a straight port. I don't like playing games on my phone and have a hard time gaming on my laptop, just feels inorganic since I do work on that thing too. Just port it to switch, be super sick if it came to NSO, but then I'd never own it as well.
Had a more difficult evening watching the boys alone while the wife got some time away this was a much appreciated article to see! Excited for tomorrow!
@Lxlxrxzx you know the first one I could only get a few hours in but I'd recommend trying out impossible lair again. Tight platforming and an awesome soundtrack, with plenty of goofy characters.
I really don't want to tweak anything, I don't like thinking about it while I'm playing. Like if I run into a performance issue I just think that's how it is! If I had options I think I'd be upset everytime I ran into a performance issue and have to go in and fix it.
Please keep it simple for the novis, not hardcore crowd.
@Not_Soos ya the pay for shipping part always stops me dead in my tracks, it's hardly ever worth the price of what you're getting.
I don't understand how they'll print these and not the 1000 year door GC sleeve, feels like I'd care more about the quality of that then some post cards.
I love shovel knight!! So much fun. I would love a Mina release date and confirmation is coming to switch announced then. Or another Shovel knight co op game like sonic and tails. That would be sweet.
It feels like Temple of time is inevitable. But clock town would be so cool. I'd love to see them make sense of whatever happens on day 3. Also the like "light house" that it has.
Well these details are super cool. Am I glad it exists yes! Do I wish I was a kid and had time to appreciate something like this, yes. Just like the sonic sets, I'll admire them online and that's about it for the time being.
Why is this such a common occurrence? I also played like 15 or so hours a few years ago and got lost or bored and or it down and haven't touched it since. This article makes me feel encouraged, is like to try it but I have so little time to play I like to play tried and true typically.
I got a sister in law that loves the TCG, or at least likes the cards. I used to love them growing up but Im glad I no longer fascinate over them since I can't afford my current hobbies.
@Ade117 I agreed, sometimes when I start replaying a 2D Mario game I see very clearly everything missing from Mario Maker, which is nuts since there's already a ton of stuff.
HYDROCITY!!! I don't have a list of my favorite sonic zones but has to be in the top like 3 or 5. It's so good. Especially from 3 but Manias is also good.
I do want to watch it all but want to just pay for one month of paramount plus. I know the reviews were for the entire show, but can anyone confirm that the general public can watch the entire series right away? Or are they released weekly?
K I'm a little late to the party but I've never played a single final fantasy game. My wife had played like fourteen or fifteen before we got married and said she enjoyed them but said the stories were odd.
From my fellow Nintendo friends. Any recommendations for a 1st one? I'm more keen to play a 2D rather than a 3D, just cuz I like me pixels over polygons.
That was a really fun article! Inspiring as a collector to actually collect. Married and a father of 2 I get a little fun money each month that I've been saving for months now. Maybe it's time to start pulling some triggers? Thanks again for the read!

Re: Hands On: Sonic X Shadow Generations Is A Love Letter To Sonic Adventure 2
So I'm excited for this game, and if it ran on PS3 it has to run well on switch right? I don't care if it doesn't get updated visuals, I am not a switch owner for visuals. I just hope they treat it like Sonic Frontiers, just downgrade it and make it run on switch. I'm just in it for the fun.

Re: 'Yooka-Replaylee' Brings Back Playtonic's Love Letter To Banjo In Remastered Form

Re: 'Yooka-Replaylee' Brings Back Playtonic's Love Letter To Banjo In Remastered Form
@RupeeClock why do you think they'd take out shovel knight? Like the deal ran out like Mike Tyson and Punch out? Or is there something I don't know.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?
When you can really only buy second hand, I say it's retro. No new retail releases, unless you're a crazy cool indie dev that does that sort of thing.
Re: Talking Point: What Other LEGO Zelda Sets Would You Like To See After The Deku Tree?

Re: Talking Point: Which Games Were Just The Perfect Length?
A Link Between Worlds
Sonic Mania
Can play those two games about endlessly. If I were on a desert island and could pick two games it'd be those.
Re: Nintendo Will Continue To Support Physical Media And "Maximise" All Software Sales
