I would love BOTW 2 to be a fusion over old school Zelda gameplay with BOTW open world and mechanics. The most recent trailer seems to suggest a balance. Definitely SS vibes

Seems to be that the loudest complainers are in the minority and doesn't look to have impacted interest too much. Its like the Sword and Shield pokedex scandal all over again.

Not many people bought this on Wii compared to the install base. I welcome this port. If it takes 4-5 years between AAA titles, whats wrong with a remaster in the interim. Complaints about price are also annoying. If a classic film has a 4K restoration do people complain on about paying the current entry fee to see it.. Or would people complain that it only cost sixpence back in 1937? Besides.. The RRP is £50 but ive got a physical preorder for £42 with steelbook and itll be available for £36 within a few months. I'm still excited to play this even if its a bit creaky in a post-BOTW world.

Still looking forward to playing and still keeping my preorder, but these controls sound a bit clunky

I owned Prime 1 on Gamecube but it never clicked. Maybe I was too young. I would love the chance to play the trilogy as I've seen all the acclaim for them over the years. I've also never played Super Metroid so excited for Dread in what I'm hoping is my first Metroid game. It seems lots of people are in similar boats

@WallyWest well yes and no. Its a different genre but it is the same series. If you've just spend the last few months and hundreds of hours playing Rise, you might want a break.. and it might also cause confusion in stores with less informed consumers thinking it is an expansion etc.

I think Stories has come out too soon after a massive and ongoing time sink like Rise. Would've been much better coming out in September/October. (not too close to Pokemon)

I got about a year of drift free joy cons. That was without a pro controller for docked play. Now I just use compressed air and contact cleaner to keep my joy cons just about working. Still wouldn't use them for anything needing accuracy.

I've never played as had long sold my Wii by the time it came out in the gaming death of my 20s.. Very excited to be playing the refined version for my first play through. I loved BOTW but missed dungeons and shrines didn't cut it.

I can't stop playing Two Point Hospital which is proving to be an addictive and gentle time drain. 😂

I rarely play Handheld these days because #joycondrift so an improved OLED will be nice when it comes to upgrade but this seems more of an iterative evolution than a necessary upgrade. . Not surprised that it isn't a 'Pro', that could split the user base which makes it less attractive to third parties.

@Ralizah I've tried so hard to love Ni No Kuni but the battling is so clunky and doesn't feel intuitive.

I sold my Wii long before this came out and couldn't get into Twilight Princess despite multiple attempts. Wrong time and the start was all too gloomy. Excited for some new (to me) old school Legend of Zelda action.. In a way that BOTW and Links Awakening couldn't hit the spot.

We're lucky to be getting it at all really. Did Bayonetta sell many between Switch and Wii U?

Panic pre ordered my Collectors Edition through Shopto in the Uk. They had a handy 1 per person policy. Some retailers value humans over bots. I've never really played a Metroid game so quite excited.

Really wish I had put some money into Nintendo in the aftermath of the Wii U era. Can never keep a good dog down..

Never played this on the GBA but have seen since how revered it was so definitely will pick this up physical for about £35. Now just need Golden Sun remastered or ported.

I thought the initial set of courses looked a bit dull so this news has really made this a probable rather than possible buy for me.

Some good new announcements, even if a lot are ports and remasters. Not as excited by BOTW 2 as I first thought I might be. Shin Megami Tensei V looks great but I don't if it's for me. New footage of Mario Golf and Monster Hunter Stories has piqued my interest in those 2. It would be an A- for me. But B+ in a non-pandemic year.

I think I read they had a whole series of other Theme- type games planned on the 90s. Defo interested in this. Have recently got two point hospital and while it's excellent its very familiar as I overplayed Theme Hospital to death as a kid

I contributed to that Mario 3D World position and glad I did. Bought a second pro controller to have some couch co-op and its just so much gentle fun so far. Fully expecting the chaos to increase toward the end.

@nessisonett 😂 the song would’ve been a really good tie-in ten years ago.. Hardly likely to inspire a new generation of players

Never played a NMH game but intrigued by the gameplay and will definitely support a more adult Series on switch.. Wish the first two were released on physical in the run up to the third entry (I’m not paying Limited Run prices).

Are Mario platformers not that popular
In Japan.. the 3D World sales look a bit underwhelming??

I think the problem is that F Zero, 1080, Wave Race, Kid Icarus.. they’re remembered fondly by so few people. Is it profitable to make new games I’m for these IPs in 2021. I feel like we’re extremely lucky we’re getting Metroid 4 as 1-3 didn’t exactly sell massive numbers or copies

It he D Pad was unused and the third party controller I had actually performed better. The shark pad pro. It was see through plastic, very cool in the 90s and the stick was much more reliable. I actually had a look at it recently before selling all my retro gaming bits and the stick is still good. There is something about the N64 controller that is so weird, confusing and awkward looking that makes it so Iconic vs any xbox controller

It’s good that one Nintendo Switch exclusive will be unseated from the top by another exclusive. Now let’s turn this success into some big new announcements

It’s also nice to see a third party game doing so well. There’s room for non Nintendo bestsellers!!!!

I actually played the demo as I was itching to buy a new major release. It didn’t grab me as quickly as I’d hoped but I think I need more time with it. Definitely a huge improvement on that 3DS port I played a demo of a few years back

I’m excited for this and glad they’re refining the motion controls. I’ll definitely mix up gameplay between Pro Controller when I’m feeling lazier and some sword swiping action. BOTW was an undeniably excellent game, but playing the Witcher 3 on Switch really does show how little there is to do in the game and how the narrative isn’t all that interesting. That said, the gameplay is smoother in BOTW whereas Witcher feels a bit glitchy sometimes. I’d like a nice middle ground. Perhaps that’s why I’m so excited for some meaty dungeons in SS.

@romanista I didn’t even know that was a thing.. in the market for a new tv anyway.... hmmm 🤔

@gergelyv if you can’t have backwards compatibility then I love the ports, because the Wii U did have a disproportionate amount of good games for its rubbish sales. But the ports should be peppered throughout new first party or major third party releases.. the Wii U was the first Nintendo console I missed since the SNES and I feel like if I hadn’t missed it I would be so bitter.. I listen to loads of Nintendo podcasts so it’s quite clear that the fan base is a bit fed up of ports and it’s kind of dampening my enjoyment of the era

@gergelyv I didn’t have a Wii U so I’m here for the ports but I’m actually considering a second console for the first time ever as the XBox subscription is just such good value..

I haven’t finished BOTW.. playing it is very fun. And I got to Ganon, decided I was underpowered and needed more hearts and master sword so continued to play around. Never went back to Ganon and haven’t touched the game in ages. I think it’s not a strong enough story that I’m so desperate to see to a conclusion.

I’m happy with my Switch but really get FOMO for some of the games that don’t make it over. The only thing that’s stopped me is not knowing whether to go for Xbox or PS but gamepass is a real intrigue

Two top notch games, I got a fun 30 hours or so out of Paper Mario.. not very challenging but an enjoyable ride.. and Super Mario Maker 2 has a great single player but haven’t explored but many of the user made levels yet

Some of the magic of things is their limited time nature.. like a limited edition food stuff, or a limited run in a theatre, or an art exhibition. Sure maybe in a couple of years someone may wish they had got to play Super Mario 35.. but can’t. But there’s a lot of things I’d like that are relics of the past and that is fine. I feel like the Mario 35th anniversary has been more of a complainathon than a celebration and it really does muddy the enjoyment.

@DjinnFighter omg this.

@BenAV can’t wait to have a day where there’s no mention of a Switxh Pro

This would just be a bad business move and undoes the whole idea of the Switch.. that being said.. it was a weird move making a handheld only console that can’t ‘Switch’

@Whalehome weekend sorted.. I don’t think I needed much encouragement to stay adventuring with Geralt for another weekend 😂

Finally finished the Witcher this week.. debating whether to start the DLC or move into another game in the backlog..

Seeing this video really makes me want to get a 3DS......

I love Kid Icarus’ art style but cba going back to the old pixel releases.. would love this to be ported to Switch.. #freesakurai

I’d be fine with a nicer screen and improvements to battery and. Although I’d like to play AAA PS5 (or even PS4) games, it would just create a division in the install base. Especially considering the install base is now plenty big enough to warrant some meaty third party exclusives being developed for the system.

Everyone complains when it’s a lazy port not a full remaster.. everyone complains about the price for three old games.. everyone complains about that it’s a time limited release.. everyone complains about mario galaxy 2 not being included. And I’m just happy here playing through three astounding games for which there are going to be millions in resale market.

I think Animal Crossing was released at the perfect time at the beginning of lockdown. It’s Spring here in the UK also it’s no surprise that people are less inclined to buy such a time draining game

Still on a new game ban... I can feel myself inching toward completing the main story in Witcher 3.. then next it’ll be end credits on mario sunshine.. then I can finally start Galaxy for the first time. Maybe Ring Fit if I’m feeling energetic

This actually looks quite interesting. It’s nice to see them trying something a bit different, rather than just printing money releasing very meh games

I didn’t get far in the original Diamond and Pearl games because my second DS had shockingly bad battery. I can forgive the graphics not being top notch.. but even cartoony chibi graphics can look aesethically pleasing.. these look very cheap for such a major franchise in 2021.
