My thoughts: 1. I love seeing Yakuza on Nintendo platforms. Although 2. I have played 0-3 already... But with this pace, I might get Yakuza 4 also next year. Now - do I wait or do I play it now? I mean, I bought it already on Xbox, but that means hogging the TV... 3. Some of the main protagonists, esp. the members of the Ryudo family (ANIKI!!), seem to look rather bland compared to the existing versions.
As this game is about discovering a game system you didn't have in its peak, it would profit immensely from an emulator mode. Because that's the way a lot of people discovered NES games for example. Give me rewind and save points! Or even hacks. Ok, that would be too much effort. And to please the hardcore crowd: give out achievements only for playing not in emulator mode. There: everyone is happy. Or at least me. That is what counts!
@Markatron84 oh believe me, I Feel you. Ice Climber was my pack in game! Although I got SMB 1 at the same time. Anyways , I would play Ice Climber 99 ☺☺
@AaronElWhite then maybe try Alba. It’s more like Lil Gator in that it does not have more of a skill based mechanic like short hike and Mika. Just a short relaxing game I actually had time to finish.
@larrythumbs there is a fan translation that’s easily applied and playable on emulators or on an Analogue Pocket. Although the experience does not match Tim Roger’s analysis, imo. But I spent some hours with the game.
I never loved OoT as much as TLoZ. But I wish for all of you stupid Dungeon Lovers that Nintendo does for you what they did for me with BotW and TotK 😜
Mine was Normality, kind of a first person point and click adventure in a Doom like engine from the nineties. I played only an hour or so but it was a game very different from the rest.
Who put in the cartridge back to front? Normally one would see the ridges! Also, there is an earlier European version that is square. Anyways, I voted western style for the box art, but I also love Zelda 1 artwork and would love to see a modern game in that style.
sigh! There will never be a better time for 8bit platformer alikes than on new 3ds. These looks with a 3d back drop made for such a nice graphical style. But this one looks nice. The swinging the bat at the right time seems like a well implemented and fun mechanic.

21/21, but Dragon Warrior III was a close call…
Re: Feature: "We're Going To Need More Toilet Paper" - This Is Mario Kart-Attack!
Funny, I tried it out a few weeks ago and I think the connection was better with switch 2. That was a real problem before.

@AaronElWhite
I bought it a few Days ago and I do not regret it! I think you would enjoy it too.

@LavaTwilight I don’t know. I’m also based outside of the US…
Re: Nintendo Breaks Silence On 'Switch 2' Image And Video Leaks
@LavaTwilight "at a US consumer electronics trade fair."
Yes, no one but you seems to comment on this. Although this is a great clue.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link
Ooof, who put in the game the wrong way?
You are supposed to see the ridges in the cut-out, not the backside of the cart!
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Will Add More Tracks Over Time, Here's What's Been Revealed So Far
Already loving the app.
What I miss the most is TOTK. But that will be added in the future, I’m sure…

What? First vote? Well, easily Japan!
Re: Soapbox: How Zelda's Bad Economy Made Weapon Degradation Great Again
I like weapon degradation.

Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Is Backwards Compatible, What Will You Do With Your Switch?
I have 3 children, so we're gonna keep our first gen and OLED!
Re: Review: Castlevania Legends - A 'Vania So Poor It Got Booted From Canon
@chipia Yeah, same for me. Although rewind is a blessing. I even like the music.

@GinMiguel not sure if you're joking, but there is a map tracker - hero's path.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
@Ristar24 that was possible also on Dreamcast.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Vampire Survivors On Switch
This reminds me of I made a game with zombies in it. Which is not a bad thing!

Re: Zelda's Tears Of The Kingdom VA Took Inspiration From The Hit HBO Show "Game Of Thrones"
One of the times the German VO is so much better. I don't like whiny Zelda as well.

Re: CD Projekt Red Showcases Witcher 3 Free Netflix DLC Update, Out December 14th
@GlennW right, but not with the other consoles.
Re: CD Projekt Red Showcases Witcher 3 Free Netflix DLC Update, Out December 14th
@Sisilly_G sadly there is no Cross save between PC and the other consoles.
Re: CD Projekt Red Showcases Witcher 3 Free Netflix DLC Update, Out December 14th
Oh, how I would love them to add cross save with the Xbox version. I would even buy it again on PC, if that were necessary…
