Framerate made me wait until it's fixed.

Good luck hunting AI generated content.

@Dr_Lugae Pachinko and other minigames remained exactly the same in Virtual Console releases back then. There is even a gambling minigame in Wario Land, slot machines in Mario Land 2, various casino minigames in SNES Yoshi's Island, a freaking CASINO in Super Mario RPG... well, you get the idea. None of those games received a higher rating in the release/re-releases.

Sounds like a May release date if too late.

@Cia Except you are. At the end of BotW, you only care about Royal gear because endgame enemies get 10x more health and no other weapon gets enough durability to stand a single encounter. In Silver Lynel fights, you switch between everything you have at your inventory and ends up wasting at least 3 good melee weapons. For what? Are the rewards really worth that much? Anyway, the strategy is always: 1- Farm Durians, cook all five in a single dish to full recovery + 20 bonus hearts; 2- Go to the castle, loot weapons, ignore enemies, warp outside; 3- Buy arrows.

@BTB20 They still break and that's the problem. Permanently losing an item that took time and effort to make is never a good thing.

@SpeedRunRocks Took them forever. Finally!

Bring back the NeoGeo games or at least the CD ones. There's not a single Arcade Archives game since Sunset Riders that's worth a purchase.

@hd94 That's my point - BotW had a much wider lifespan in said social networks OUTSIDE its bunker on Reddit or game-specific forums. Talking about general media here. We have GOTY news because it was obviously nominated, but that's about it, it's been months since the last "player xxyyz makes impossible ultrahand build" article.

@hd94 It's groundbreaking if you're not a BotW veteran. That's pretty much a consensus among all opinions we've seen since launch. Outside Ultrahand builds (which are the highlight here), It's pretty much DLC for the first game placed in the same map. TikTok was filled with build shorts for about two months, then it started dying.

@hd94 It doesn't even come close.

@hd94 Far from having the same buzz that BotW held for years after its release. It's not even close to being as popular/discussed.

This game is dead, buried and forgotten.

Is this another Japan-only release?

@LikelySatan Ah, the ignorance... delightful to look at.

@LikelySatan You missed the point entirely.

Wonderful 101 was a work of art and was extremely underrated back when it came out and during the kickstarter re-release. I guess we get the games we deserve after all. Why bother making a very polished product when you can simply squeeze another sequel? No doubt they'll keep milking Bayonetta just like Fire Emblem.

@LikelySatan Play Bayonetta.

Those e-celebs should never have been part of this game to begin with.

I just feel like those are coming a decade too late.

You mean like their Sega Forever lineup that didn't last 6 years before mass delistings and halted releases a couple months after the debut? Sure, bring 'em on.

Simple: because with a more limited world we had better level design. A better designed game as a whole if you think about it. Those open world Zeldas are just bloated with filler content, a good chunk of it is nothing but tech show-off.

They have put like 20GB on a cart and left the another half as downloads. What's the point?

@ModdedInkling It's not about highlighting the best crafted games of the year, It's about promoting companies. The "awards" are nothing but premium ADs. There is a good reason why you only see AAAs populating the relevant categories, even though stuff like Among Us were extremely popular or influential in their respective years. Those deserve the budget categories like Best Indie or Best Family Game so the billion-dollar publishers don't get offended. The fact we're always labeling pixel art games as "Indies" says a lot about how the industry works.

TGA is just a very expensive farse.

@LXP8 Ocarina is essentially a reimagining of Link to the Past in 3D. In fact, this is how Nintendo creators craft their games - the tech and gameplay lead the story, not the opposite. They take certain established concepts as part of a chronology (i.e. Ganon being sealed, the hero venturing through the Dark World, the sages, the triforce) but never in a strict way like a direct sequel of a movie would do. Final Fantasy also works the same - there are certain characters or entities that share multiple iterations between entries, but those games are also legends, never connected chronologically.

The idea of caring about a timeline in a franchise where each game is treated as an independent chronicle is laughable to say the least.

E3 is gone for good, TGA might be the next pointless, expensive event to fall. It became a 3 hour commercial with like 20 minutes of actual content.

@LXP8 It was never something considered by the creators themselves (Aonuma and Miyamoto), but they still made a timeline draft back in late 1990s due to countless unanswered questions surrounding Ocarina of Time. It is creatively irrelevant.

It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to say a thank you and thank everyone who helped in the game. This is basic stuff. A minute maybe, if you're considering a stretch.

Truth is that no one is interested in hearing long speeches and crap like "I've been dreaming of becoming a developer since I was 8 in my little hometown and gaming was always my passion blablabla". Problem is - 80% of this ***** party is all about advertising and e-celebrities.

And yet people waste time believing it exists.

The main game was glitchy, boring, pretentious yet beautiful to look at. I hope this DLC ends up being good.

@Purgatorium My thoughts exactly. This is shaping up to be another corporate souless product as always, with a cherry on top for "looking like a Ghibli movie". This clown has no idea of what he's trying to convey with those #words.

Have a good screenplay+script first, then you can talk about feeling like Miyazaki.

I mean, seriously - Ghibli movies are good because they're good movies. You can't simply clone part of it and call it Miyazaki.

Good job, Konami and Wayforward.

It had to be cloud-based, no one cares.

Hopefully not in the same league as the last Battletoads.

Up to us? If the game has issues regarding framerate and overall performance, just say it loud. You bashed games with fewer problems in the past.

Penny's Big.

Breakaway.

Glad this isn't another crappy, minimalist looking "pixel art" game. Looking forward to it!

Never finished a single game. Puzzles are either math focused or way too obtuse, requiring a piece of paper to make progress. It's the very opposite of "having fun" with a videogame.

Didn't have the patience to read through multiple paragraphs narrating one's experience with a game, but Ocarina was definitely a hallmark of excellence for its time. Very few games compare to that.

@Spider-Kev Western game tier, so it's not going past the 8/10 mark, but you can have fun with it. Story is a hot mess if you're playing an RPG for that.

That said, there are still better options in the FPS genre.

That's a fancy way to fire someone and leave PR things as smooth as possible.

This is exactly how Japan handles resignations. Reggie also had his share of this bullsh** back then.

Nice Ganondorf design and all, but the game just came out too late for its own good.

Just improve the 3DS version, it's a great start from there.

Timeline questions? Really? Those games aren't linked to eachother in any way, they're legends. Separate stories. Whatever they wrote to sell books won't retcon the past.

I just hope Rogue Squadron ports are not handled by Aspyr.

@NinChocolate It's pretty mediocre if you compare to what they achieved previously with Blazing Chrome. Completely forgettable and generic Shinobi wannabe.

Get Blazing Chrome, avoid Moonrider.

What's the point of these?
