@GameOtaku No, it's Free... the game is just unplayable without a subscription.

Thus, complaining about this game without even having a NSO subscription is the equivalent of me complaining about the weather on the planet Mars.

Man... the sense of entitlement and utter negativity in the comments (including yesterday) is just unreal.

It's a FREE F-Zero game!!!

No Hate but...

As important as Reviews are, one only needs to spend a few minutes on YouTube, to truly see how monumental Tears of the Kingdom is. My mind has been blown, time and time again, on how TotK rewards a Player's creativity.

Absolutely no competition for GotY, sorry.

@theModestMouse To each their own, but a lot of sports fans enjoy playing with older squads. I haven't played 2K in awhile, but my go-to teams were generally some version of the 1990's Chicago Bulls.

Also, I see this a lot, making the cover of a sports game is not about being a role model. It's typically about being an elite player in that particular sports league. Think about it, have you ever seen Mother Teresa on the cover of a sports game?

@Magician You don't have to like him, but that doesn't give you an excuse to slander him. He was never convicted of any crime, thus he's not a sexual offender. Now, was he a faithful husband? No, he wasn't, and he's wrong for that.

Oh, also, take it from someone who's going through a divorce right now (and been accused of things that I clearly did not do), she would have taken him to the cleaners regardless lol.

@Deepdoop I know, right?

It's absolutely adorable when developers do their jobs and make games for the largest install base available.

I guess that I'm owning the unpopular opinion here. I actually really like this VA. She's grown on me.

Great work... your game has ruined my life lol.

For Launch, I got together with my brother and cousin... I think that I might have gotten about 3 hours of sleep last night 🥱🥱🥱

... Supervisor isn't in the office today 🤔

... Plotting my escape to go home and "work remotely" 😉

It's A Secret To Everybody 🤫

20 MORE MINUTES BABY!!! 🥳🥳🥳

The Legend of Nintendo Life's Comment Section: Tears of the Haters

...must be a Blood Moon somewhere

Nice Read

This review has me staring down the clock, as if I was replaying Majora's Mask. If only the Song of Double Time was real.

Nice Read

I still play the original every year, and would miss the "8bit Charm". However, QoL improvements are desperately need (i.e.: overworld map, diagonal movements, etc..).

Oh... might want to redesign the Level 3 Dungeon too. I'm tired of explaining to people what a Manji is.

Nice

FE Path of Radiance was my first Fire Emblem game, but it was the GBA games that caused me to fall in love with the series. I remember playing this and FE The Sacred Stones on emulator, back in the day, while waiting for FE Radiant Dawn to release.

Good times.

Timerra is my #1. Sad to see that she didn't crack the Top 25, in Japan 😢

I never heard the Satoru Iwata quote until today, but now I'll probably remember that for the rest of my life... WOW❤️

That was a fun read. I honestly have no idea, but it's fun to speculate. Mario is older than Luigi...right?

@Bass_X0 Well... you clearly detected my sarcasm.

I read your comment 3x, and I sincerely hope that you're being sarcastic as well.

Oh no... what have they done?

Don't they realize that a young girl somewhere might actually feel... empowered... by a children's movie?

And all at the risk of hurting an already fragile male ego on the internet. Truly, Nintendo is the real villain here!

Edit: I forgot to say the word Woke... Woke, there, I said it!

This is probably for the best. I wouldn't want to release any game on a Nintendo console in the same month as a new Zelda title.

@Bizzyb "Let's not kid ourselves, FE is about 40% gameplay, 60% story and characters."

I have no idea how you came up with that ratio... but I'm definitely not kidding myself. I have 655 hours on FE Three Houses, 271 hours on FE Awakening, and 120 hours on FE Engage. They are all fantastic games.

Instead of lecturing about what "most gamers want" and phantom percentages, you could mention why you personally dislike FE Engage (that is, assuming that you have even played it).

@Bizzyb The story may not have been on the same level, but the combat more than makes up for it. I absolutely love the new Break mechanic, and reintroduction of the Weapons Triangle. FE Engage also has better battle maps than both Three Houses and Awakening.

Lastly, Engage feels so polished while you're playing. The improved UI is gorgeous, streamlined, and perfectly compliments one of the best looking games on the Switch.

I'm surprised by most of the negative comments. You should never underestimate Zelda.

Sumia was Bae.

When I was a kid, we could not buy a new game, until we could prove that we had beaten the last game that our parents bought...

This taught me the importance of teamwork, saving progress, and finishing whatever I start. I'm now 40 years old, and have never really had a "backlog".

Chrono Trigger please.

Funniest childhood memory was spending the night over a friend's house playing NES baseball. I got to watch him play against his older brother who was the worst sore loser that I've ever seen.

His brother went from a face red from anger to literally screaming in tears, after losing game after game (furiously demanding rematches and accusing my friend of cheating). He was older than we were, so I desperately tried not to laugh, but I've never seen anything like it.

@GameOtaku You seem extremely passionate about your stance on this topic. I'm really curious, exactly how many games did you buy on VC?

As much as I miss the option to purchase, I honestly didn't buy that many games. Off the top of my head: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda, and A Link to the Past. Even if VC was implemented for the Switch today, I probably wouldn't buy anything different.

In summary, I am going to be generous and say that only 5% - 10% of VC games were actually popular.

I'm unapologetically biased... 10/10

Fire Emblem Engage all weekend long, even while I'm watching the NFL Playoffs.

Go Cheifs!

@AX-7 Between Engage and Three Houses, you cannot lose. Imo, both are outstanding games.

Also, without saying too much, you don't have to play them in order. They're both unique enough that you don't have to know much about the other games to enjoy.

Absolutely loving this game, right now. I'm so happy that I gave it a chance 💯

It's so weird that this comes from Bloomberg, because they actually initiated all of the BS Switch Pro rumors to begin with.

For a console... innovation is nice and power is nice but do you know what is even nicer? Money Money Money. I made sure to say that 3 times, to emphasize that those will be Nintendo's Top 3 Priorities with their next console.

The Switch cannot be compared to any other Nintendo console, period. Releasing in 2017, Switch has already outsold the Wii, and is on pace to be in the Top 3 sales god tier of consoles. That's a ton of money. Frankly, it's more success than Nintendo has seen in quite some time (arguably ever).

So... if I'm Nintendo, the goal should be to change as little as possible. I want to do whatever I can to replicate the "Switch formula", or at the very least not sabotage it (i.e.: adding a whole bunch of expensive bullcrap that absolutely no Nintendo fan cared about, like VR or PS5 like tv-only setup).

Trust me, you will get a new Switch with the number 2 next to it.

Yes, tonight, I will be Engaging at about Midnight.

Initially, I was wrong about FE Awakening and Three Houses, so I'm doing my best not to judge. Still Day 1. I have heard great things about this game so far, but my biggest fear is that it ultimately ends up being too streamlined.

Right now, I realize that there is only so much that they will show, but I am beginning to think that the roster might be kind of slim for this entry. This is actually my main concern, that FE Engage is just another starter entry like Path of Radiance.

Please do not get me wrong, I still like Path of Radiance, it was my first FE game. Although, once I got a taste of the GBA titles, I felt so cheated. I learned that actual game mechanics (and Classes) were sacrificed, in the hopes of: making PoR more streamlined, user friendly, and easier to pick up and play.

I sincerely hope that I'm wrong about this game, since I have already committed to buying. I just really hope that FE Engage will still be another great expansion for the series, and not another water-down for western audiences.

First, the awesome animated scenes from the game manual for ALttP (my favorite 2D Zelda).

Now, a beautiful trip down memory lane with BotW (my favorite 3D Zelda).

...and it's Friday Night ...and Pay Day.

Today was a good day, and it all started out with TikTok Pikachu dancing and clapping his hands to MFs.

@Kiwi_Unlimited 1992 (1991 in Japan)

Edit: Oh... nevermind, you're talking about that awful cartoon series. I won't even bother to look up that date, sorry.

Very well done. I had to Share this one immediately.

Also, one of my all time favorite video games ever. Coincidentally, I am in the middle of replay, as I type this.

Priceless 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the insane laugh. I still have tears in my eyes. I can't wait to share this 💯

I'm not sure how anyone could argue that Path of Radiance had a better story than Radiant Dawn. Radiant Dawn takes place almost immediately after the events of Path of Radiance, explaining and expanding upon the previous game's storyline.

@Diogmites Awww... I noticed a few edits, followed by an extra 2 paragraphs... and you even called me "slugger". I didn't know that you cared.

Please don't be mad at me, you win okay... I'm so sorry lol

I hope that they tie the Zonai in with the Dark Interlopers from Twilight Princess. I've always wanted to know more about both groups.

@Beaucine I suppose that that's true, for your very first playthrough. The boxed map definitely makes the game more beginner friendly.

Although, I would say that the true beauty of the game is that eventually it's meant to be played completely from memory. It's so satisfying to be able to go back to The Legend of Zelda years (or decades) later and be able to kick ass (in just about any dungeon order).

If you want major Zelda street cred, play the original The Legend of Zelda first. Although, the lack of overworld map makes the first playthrough difficult. The joy will come from using your memory and learning different ways to beat the game, on your next playthrough.

That being said, I voted for A Link to the Past... It set the standard for all of the following games.

Did you know that every time someone says Link to the Past or LttP (instead of A Link to the Past or ALttP) an innocent fairy loses it's wings?

It's very sad, indeed.

I see this a lot on this site. I'm starting to think that it's a British thing.

Contra Anniversary Collection shouldn't count. Otherwise, it should automatically get the number one spot.

Also, Super C should be in the Top 3.
