@ZTN12 100% this. Certainly the most nostalgic one. Right up there with ET on Atari. Like a movie so bad it's good. And I have no idea if this is true but certainly seem to be some of the makings of more modern games like Zelda NES, in there somewhere.
Didn’t really answer my biggest question about dungeons. I’m starting to believe Nintendo is doing that on purpose. Either because it doesn’t have traditional dungeons and they know that’s going to disappoint people, or it will and they want to surprise us. Knowing Nintendo, I know which of those two reasons I’d shove all of my chips on.
Really cautiously optimistic. The gaming world has changed tremendously since BOTW. It was an amazing game, I'm just hoping this one isn't more of the same in today's gaming environment. Breakable weapons and/or no traditional dungeons and I might have to wait for a sale. The fact they've been so secretive about the (supposedly not a sequel) game content is either a really, really good thing or the total opposite. Guess we'll see, and we don't have long to wait. It's like waiting to see if your Christmas gifts were a boon or a bust.
I'm going to put myself in the cautiously optimistic category, for this one, and if it is a great game I am definitely going to buy it on a more powerful console.
@blindsquarel Yes. This is 99% going to be a generational warfare conversation. Can't tell you the fun I had with Atari and Colecovision but expecting that to be rated high on this poll, is slightly demented.
Without calling out my favorite child, there is a correct answer here but I feel the staff wanted to make sure they all had different answers. cough 1994 cough
From what I saw, this game is a step in the right direction. Not enough yet, to get me to pay AAA prices, but definitely the way the series should move forward and I will probably pick it up at some point.
I guess I'm alone when I say I'm over the "remaster everything" phase. Yes, it's a joy when done correctly but I'd prefer new version of the same IP, or a real far-fetched idea, new IPs all together.
You can save even MORE money by not buying it. It's a huge game to begin with, I already put triple digit hours into it, beat it, and I don't have the energy to go back to play DLC.
@Jey887 I tried the first and got bored. I know I'm in the minority here but just couldn't get into it, and love RPGs. Think it's the segregated stories that couldn't keep my attention.
@WolfyTn I'm 50 and am really enjoying Hogwarts Legacy. Is there really any such thing as an adult game? (Minus NSFW stuff.) If you enjoy games, play the ones you like. Having said that, I haven't played the one in this article but seeing so much news about it has piqued my interest.
Hogwarts Legacy really is a great game. I don't know how it's going to look on the Switch but it's absolutely gorgeous on the PS5. Definitely looking like a GOTY contender.
If you asked me on the spot to guess how many Star Fox games were made, I would have never guessed over 5. Crazy hearing of all these different versions.
Their headline IPs seem to shine brightly around hardware revisions then it's just a slow drag until the next one. I guess if they were like COD and were on version 20, or whatever, it might get tiring as well. No better meal than the one you eat when your famished.
Yeah, definitely wait until it calms down some. Really love the way they create a problem and then try to up-sell you to have a fast way to get around the problem they've created. Pure capitalist brilliance!
They'll need to do something. I'd like to go, but if I did, I can't imagine wanting to go back again and again. Just like video games, it's going to need some replay-ability, or it will be short lived.
@Serpenterror Makes you wonder if some game sites decide who is going to review a game not by the genre but some arbitrary non-game factor or maybe pin the tail on the donkey? You can almost tell when a reviewer isn't a fan of the genre they are reviewing. It would be like me not being a fan of FPS and reviewing Call of Duty 20.
This kind of article just makes me miss traditional Zelda games more. You don't have to twist my arm to buy and play BOTW2 (I refuse to call it anything else unless they prove it's not more of the same) but I really long for a traditional dungeon with keys to doors, compass, maps, and traditional bosses. Don't make me beg!

Re: LEGO 2K Drive Will Include Real Money Transactions
@Chaotic_Neutral Exactly my thoughts, DLCs are just heavily bundled micro transactions
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Gnarly Master Sword Patented By Nintendo
Does the patent read "a sword that breaks in 3 to 4 hits"?
Re: LEGO 2K Drive Will Include Real Money Transactions
Despite all the comments here, this game is probably going to sell like hotcakes.
Re: No Man's Sky's Next Update Is On The Way, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Hmmm... the reviews of the remake seem to be good on this site and sister sites but others are less than stellar.
