Luckily I already downloaded it, I saw this coming. They should have not included any of the original code or assets, have it load the rom like Ship of Harkinian does.
If having fast travel makes it into your list of features, you may need more features. I'm surprised day and night cycle and auto saves didn't get bullet points.
I'm still really excited, and I realize this is the beginning of the game, but the only thing that really disappoints me is how boring and minimalist this level design is.
@sanderev I'm pretty sure you are trying to argue with me but I'm not going to go through all your other messages in here to get a feel for your opinions. If you are trying to say everyone who worked on this game was credited, then you are also saying you don't think programming or level design is important. Which is dumb.
Good. That was malicious and unacceptable. I can't believe people are in here arguing it's fine, if you worked on the game you should be credited for it. End of story.
Missed opportunity not having a girl mc option. I'll wait for the pc versions inevitable mod. Dialogue, character portraits and pc model are easy to change.
I'm not sure how I feel about Aunomas statement, there is clear Souls influence in botw and totk and there is nothing wrong with that. Totk basically lifted the DS curse system and it's better for having it.
I hated her voice when I first played botw but it's since grown on me. I think it didn't match up to what I wanted and expected a Zelda to sound like, but I've accepted that this Zelda, like all Zeldas, is unique.
I love FF1, one of my favorite in the series. There's something to be said about how a more primitive gaming experience makes you fill in the gaps with your imagination, and this is a perfect example for that. Barebones story and character development means your head canon is not only valid, but kind of necessary.
Dream Land 2 has special Super Gameboy support like custom borders, additional sound fx, and color pallettes that change depending on the level. It would be nice if the NSO version supported this.
I have one, and I enjoy it, but why is it the only official NSO controller that doesn't have its own icon in the Switch gui? Shows up as a pro controller.
Terrible, nothing surprising. The dlc is exciting but was completely expected. No NSO games is heartbreaking. It was bizarre they didn't mention the Pokémon scarlet and violet patch, which still doesn't seem to effect performance at all. The only thing I cared about was the tcg classic board and it's unintentionally hilarious commercial.
I for one welcome shovelware like this on the service. It's an integral part of the nostalgia, before the days of social media and internet reviews you would occasionally buy and play garbage games, especially licensed ones. It completes the feel for me.

It's a good goal to have, even if it's unattainable. Mario is the pinnacle of the genre.
Re: Talking Point: "This Is Only The Beginning" - What Should Konami Do With Metal Gear Next?
Making them accessible is the best thing they can do, they are no longer capable of making good games more complicated than something like bomberman.

Re: Star Wars: KOTOR II 'Sith Lords' DLC Cancelled For Nintendo Switch
Really disappointing. It would have been a lot less disappointing if they didn't wait so long to cancel.
Good thing I didn't buy one of those games, the force unleashed. I love Sam Witwer almost as much as he hates Kenobi.
