The silent protagonist works perfectly in Zelda games.
Between main characters in action games chatting constantly to themselves (hella annoying) nowadays, I really don't mind Link not talking given his personality.
@PinderSchloss It's 10min of like 3 gameplay mechanics. Calm down.
They said nothing about story and the world yet. Of course, you could argue that it's cuz they have nothing else to show for. But it could be they are taking time to reveal things.
@AtlanteanMan Until you actually learn how many charity organizations function, then you will realize that corporations, especially running well like Nintendo, are the least rotten apple and screw over the least number of people.
2022 has SO MANY AMAZING games that I'm not even through half of my must-play games.
The game that has surprise me the most is Pokemon Scarlet. I didn't even plan to play it when it was released but it turned out to be 1 of my favorite Pokemon games, if not the favorite.
@Cronodoug The game is not bad. In fact, its core gameplay mechanics is so fun that many AAA games don't provide such experience when they focus too much on immersion. Games are fun not simply cuz of graphics and immersion or Switch won't be so popular. Most people really don't care that much about frame-rates too.
Having said this, I still think they should straighten out the issues.
@Zuljaras I totally agree. Amongst specs race, DRM, achievement addiction, microtransactions and all other distractions, Switch actually brought back the most core aspect of gaming, fun.
@Tendogamerxxx While I don't really support cloud gaming (not until there's major breakthrough in internet across THE WORLD), I don't think just boosting the specs of Switch is the solution here.
You need to see from developers' point of view too and the resources that they need to develop for high end consoles.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@OrtadragoonX As much as I love the narrative, Hogwarts Legacy is nowhwere near a trainwreck, especially on consoles.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I've pre-ordered it though I stop pre-ordering games for many years.
Got the physical copy even though most of my games are digital.
So ya, this game is very special to me.
Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Breaks More Box Office Records Around The World
Nintendo really understands their audience and players. They know we just want pure fun in such movies and games and deliver.
Re: Miyamoto Thinks Mario Movie's Critical Reception Contributed To The "Buzz"
Hogwarts Legacy phenomenon. LOL.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Franchise Should Illumination Tackle Next?
Animal Crossing.
So much potential there because there are many distinct and well-loved characters.
Re: Talking Point: Should Link Have Voice Acting In The Next Zelda Game?
The silent protagonist works perfectly in Zelda games.
Between main characters in action games chatting constantly to themselves (hella annoying) nowadays, I really don't mind Link not talking given his personality.
Re: Poll: What Did You Make Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Trailer?
The music, the gameplay, the characters and there seems to be a decent story this time!
And Zelda in short hair is hot. XD
Re: Super Mario Movie Secures Most Successful Opening Weekend For Any Animated Film, Ever
@FishyS The critics totally missed the point of this movie. It does exactly what it sets out to do with flying colors - fun for all ages.
Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give To The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
9/10. It's not perfect but pretty darn close. THE best video game movie that I've seen so far.
Re: Poll: When Will You Be Watching The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
Definitely watching this in theater but not when it's just out. Too many kids around.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Gets Creative With Vehicle Building, Fused Weapons
@PinderSchloss It's 10min of like 3 gameplay mechanics. Calm down.

Re: Nintendo Places Outside Top Ten In Metacritic's 13th Annual Game Publisher Rankings
When I Blizzard rank the 3rd, I know that this ranking means little.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced For Nintendo Switch At Nacon Connect 2023
Gollum is strangely interesting. I hope they make good use of the refreshing take on the LotR world and character.
Re: Poll: Would You Pay $70 For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I have no problem with the price of the game as long as it's well-made and no MTX.
I rather spend $100 to get 1 good game than 5 $20 mediocre ones with lootboxes.

Re: Random: It's Now Been 6 Years Since Zelda: BOTW's 'Switch Presentation' Trailer Released
That trailer still brings me to tears till this day. No game trailer has even come close

The derpy team. <3
Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Says He Prefers To Buy Video Games Digitally
I buy digital most of the time just for the convenience. But physical should be supported and NOT phased out.
Re: Random: New Pokémon Cards Tell A Wholesome Evolution Story
That's creative and wholesome.
Re: Random: YouTubers Taste Every Sandwich From Pokémon Scarlet And Violet

XC3 deserves to be higher but I'm still happy that it makes it to top 10.

So hard to choose 1 game when so many are amazing. My favorites:
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Bayonetta 3
Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak
Splatoon 3
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet (Yes, despite the bugs. The game is fun)
Re: Bayonetta Origins Announced Exclusively For Switch, Coming March 2023
@rjejr LOL!! Can't wait either
Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon And Nintendo Continue To Dominate
@Cronodoug The game is not bad. In fact, its core gameplay mechanics is so fun that many AAA games don't provide such experience when they focus too much on immersion.

Re: Switch Sales Increased By A Whopping 175% In The UK During November
Been really enjoying the new Pokemon despite the occasional lag and surface clip-throughs. The core gameplay mechanics is surprisingly fun.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Smashes Past 4 Million Sales Worldwide
Congrats and well deserved!
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Celebrates 2 Million Units Shipped With Free Item Packs
Well deserved numbers. I'm addicted to it again. Congrats!
Re: YouTube Confirms Copyright Claims On GilvaSunner's Channel Were From Nintendo
@Entrr_username They are in full compliance with the law but it's also a creator's right to dispute it. Those are 2 completely separate proceedings.
Re: Video: Slowpoke Sings Reggae To Promote Japanese "Udon" Prefecture
That's a cursed image.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch Enjoys Bumper Week Thanks To Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Re: Nintendo Of America's President Doug Bowser Thanks Fans For Helping The Switch Surpass 103 Million Sales
Still can't get over the fact that Nintendo's CEO is actually called Bowser. Lol.
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Outsold Both The Wii And PlayStation
@Zuljaras I totally agree. Amongst specs race, DRM, achievement addiction, microtransactions and all other distractions, Switch actually brought back the most core aspect of gaming, fun.
Re: Gallery: Here's What Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Looks Like With Raytracing
@Bydlak Same here. The original suits the style better in my opinion. I'm also not a fan of the foggy look that may or may not related to RT.
Re: Nintendo Talks About Its Future And Reconfirms Next Gaming System Is Coming In "20XX"
I'm SO glad to hear that it will happen in this century.
Re: Take A Good Look At Charming RPG The Cruel King And The Great Hero

@Jeronan Same here. Chinese gaming company = plague.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
The pros and cons are my EXACT experience with the demo.
Re: Out Now: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version Is Out, But Try The Demo First
@the_beaver I agree, I'd choose portability and accessibility over horsepower too.
There're PS5, Xbox and even PC so I really don't need another "high spec" console.
Re: Out Now: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version Is Out, But Try The Demo First
@Tendogamerxxx While I don't really support cloud gaming (not until there's major breakthrough in internet across THE WORLD), I don't think just boosting the specs of Switch is the solution here.

Re: Out Now: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version Is Out, But Try The Demo First
Tried it and even with my fiber cable, the game still freezes at times that I find it pretty annoying.
Also there's no motion control to aim. -.-
Re: Froggy Chair is BACK in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
@Andrew5678 IKR, it's finally playable.
