IF the rumors are even true then I'm thinking Switch Plus.

They could brand it with a neat little + .

I miss Reggie.

Wow... Outstanding Read. I really enjoyed that 💯

Pikachu style with the Pokemon Yellow bundle 💛

Cool Read, but... It's a Secret to Everybody

Thanks, I've been patiently waiting for the Age of Calamity spirits.

Now, all that I need are #1466 and #1467 🤓

@nessisonett Ahhh took me a minute... Very funny lol

Honestly, the overworld in SS is too small for Fast Travel. I could understand the rage if this was TWW, but flying between locations is pretty quick.

When Prime 4 does finally release on the Switch, if it sells BIG then they'll make the Trilogy happen 💯

If Prime 4 doesn't sell big then I don't expect too much more from the franchise at all, sadly.

My Body is Ready

MM taught me not to judge a game so quickly and harshly. My younger self used to brutally bash MM for not being more like OoT. Truthfully, however, I never allowed myself to give it a fair chance/never made it very far.

I did not complete this game until it was released on the Wii VC. I devoted the time and fell in love. MM is literally packed with content, urgency, and charm.

I still love Mario 💯

@Scrubicius Yes, I use the SNES controller for the Contra Anniversary Collection, Sonic Mania and Tetris 99. Although, the only downside is that it has no Home button.

I was really on the fence about purchasing the NSO SNES controller. I'm so glad that I bought it. 8bitDo was always an option, but I prefer first party accessories. I wanted the most authentic retro controller, for retro games. I was not disappointed. It feels just like the original, minus the cord. Also, it's a huge bonus that I can also use it on my laptop via Bluetooth.

Nice Read... I'm really hoping that they can mix in the Shrines with more traditional Dungeons in BOTW2.

@BrintaPap Ok... and...How is Sony's investment related to Nintendo?

@Liam_Doolan Ok... and...How is Sony's investment related to Nintendo?

This has nothing to do with Nintendo.

I've never got a chance to play TP on Gamecube, I completely forgot that it was reversed and that Link remained Left Handed.

This was a Wii experience only, for me... It's also the very first game that I bought for the Wii. I love Zelda launch titles 💯

@Burning_Spear Pac-Man Fever?

Yes 💯

My Wife is a BEAST at Ms. Pac-Man, this will be something that we can play together. Also, I'm sure that she'll enjoy making me look bad 😏

@Ambassador_Kong To be even more honest, you sound just as defensive.

I agree with the PS4 having more diversity overall, however, it's been on the market 3 and a half years longer.

@Multiboy2k Well... I wouldn't be surprised if he's already fully recognized that impact.

I've only recently learned about the shoes and the controversial music video, however, think about all of the free press that it's going to generate. Think about all of the attention that it's generated on here, in such a short period of time.

I don't really follow his music. Although, if he has an album coming out soon then it's bound to sell very well, following the controversy.

@Sourcecode Well said 💯

I had no idea, my wife had to get me up to speed with his legal drama.

Yea... I'm not a fan (I got so sick of hearing Old Town Road on the radio every day). I suppose that I'm just too old and lame now lol.

@Sourcecode @kingbk I prefer to separate Gaming and Politics too... I also think that most articles here do a very good job. Although, the Comment Section is a completely different animal lol.

Just because someone chooses to make a political or divisive comment does not necessarily mean that the article is political or divisive.

Some people on this site get so "triggered" over just about anything from Brie Larson to March 31st. If every article was conditional upon the users' responses then there wouldn't be too much to read.

In short, some of the commenters bring divisive politics with them to any topic.

Well done and Thank You 💯

My brother got a Switch finally and we're playing Smash this evening.

@Tasuki Reggie has a future, while Gamestop probably does not.

My point is that Gamestop would be considered much more of a joke than Reggie these days.

Not my favorite, but I enjoyed it. I loved that Vaati theme music 💯

I'm glad that Sakurai is being direct about this. It's one less rumor that we'll have to hear about. Also, if anything does change then it will be a pleasant surprise.

This could also be a Blessing in disguise, you never know. Perhaps they will completely reimagine the series.

I actually preferred TWW art style over the original tech demo that was shown by Nintendo... Especially that black smoke after killing an enemy. Back then, it felt like I was playing in a Disney Cartoon.

TWW HD is absolutely gorgeous. The graphics/art style was already timeless, but so much more crisp in HD. Also, the QoL changes were much appreciated.

@everynowandben Oh... Name 1 game, other than Zelda 2, that has all 3 of those qualities that is not an RPG.

@everynowandben Ok... I can tell that you might have missed my original and stronger argument for Zelda 2. No worries, my friend:

1. You MUST grind to have any chance of beating the game.
2. Battles cannot take place on the overworld map.
3. Random encounters.

Sound good?

@BloodNinja Well said 💯

the4seer APPROVED

@everynowandben I did see that... I'm actually arguing about Zelda 2 is an RPG.

Did you see my argument above?

Ninja said that it wasn't because you are not playing a role... I have no idea how he was defining a "role". I guess, by a Class System?

@BloodNinja Ok... I'm lost... You're playing as Link. That's a role, right?

@BloodNinja I don't know about you Ninja, but I had to GRIND like CRAZY to beat Zelda 2. Thus, it's an RPG in my book 💯

Oh... Also, you cannot fight on the overworld map, my friend. If I'm not mistaken, I also remember Random Encounters.

How is it not an RPG?

No... Only Zelda 2 is an RPG

I beat Seasons... I was about halfway through Ages, when my father died of Cancer. I just didn't have the heart to finish the game. It was the worst year of my life.

I was never a huge fan of the Capcom Zelda's, however, I would love another crack at Ages. 💯 Completion for my Father.

@Patendo Yes, I also do the 3 Save Files for my Zelda games... But I replay TLoZ, ALttP, and ALBW.

Nice Read

I love this game: it's challenging, packed with content, has brilliant dungeon designs, and a real sense of urgency.

This can't come to the Switch soon enough, for me.

Yes please, Day 1

Go Rams!!!

@SpaceboyScreams I have my moments, I guess...

Not trying to spoil anyone's fun, I just didn't like the article and bothered to comment.

The title is factual, but it's so misleading once you read the actual context. Obviously, future Bethesda games will only be available via X-Box/Game Pass. Although, this doesn't negatively impact any other platforms right now. All previous contracts are secure.

This won't impact Nintendo any time soon, and may have never had any significant impact at all.

@TheLightSpirit It won't have any impact 💯

Spencer says that they're still honoring all contractual obligations... Which means that there is no impact. Thus, this really shouldn't be on a Nintendo Site.

I think that either I've misread you or vice versa, because we cannot be talking about the same game... Skyward Sword does not allow you to complete dungeons in any order. The game follows a very linear script that you are unable to deviate from. Even a majority of the backtracking is linear.

Oh, the game breaking glitch never happened to me either, but it is common knowledge:
https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/12/06/game-breaking-glitch-in-zelda-skyward-sword
Thankfully, it's been fixed.

Also, ALBW still granted you unique items in the dungeons. The item rental system just allowed you to access your dungeon of choice. It was very well done, if you ask me.

Lastly, I agree with what you said about the "same old Ganon". Imo, Nintendo missed a huge opportunity by not making Princess Hilda the main villain of ALBW. I thought that she would have been a great reoccurring antagonist, alongside Vaati and Ganon.

@RadioHedgeFund "Zelda 1 is basically the map on super mario bros with a few enemies on it..."

Sorry, but I have to jump in here. That statement alone tells me that you have no idea what you're even talking about. Those games are nothing alike.

As for A Link Between Worlds, exactly how does choosing the order of the dungeons make things boring? You can literally play the game differently each time. In Skyward Sword the game would crash if things weren't done in an exact order. Do you somehow consider that to be less boring? That make no sense either.

Being able to tackle dungeons in any order was a direct response to the criticism of Skyward Sword being too linear. You can argue that any Zelda game is "just one big dungeon", but at least with A Link Between Worlds it doesn't have to be played the exact same way each time. If anything, the pacing is so terrible that Skyward Sword feels closer to one big fetch quest (complete with forced hand holding, stealth missions, and backtracking).

They should be talking more about the custom Joy-Con and new control scheme, but stay away from statements like this. Anyone who has played both games can immediately tell you how bogus this sounds.

SS the most linear game in the entire series. BotW is the least linear game the entire series. No upgraded gear, stamina gauge, or sailcloth makes these two games anything alike. Also, the Paraglider owes it's inspiration to the Deku Leaf, imo.

@sketchturner Yes

@Zeldafan79 I wouldn't risk it

I really hope that Nintendo gives us a port of the 3DS version. After BotW, it'll be even harder for me to go back to the N64 graphics.

Nice Read.

Fishing is a great change of pace, but I have always found OoT's pacing to be very laid back. I enjoy the story more than any other in the series and never felt rushed with urgency.

I prefer the archery mini games much more, in OoT and MM. I've never been good at FPS but these never felt like a chore to me.

@BloodNinja LMAO @ ALttP is "just another sword game"... I can only imagine how they felt about the countless platformers that ruled the 90's.

I am curious though, what were the more popular games of your childhood circle? They remind me of the "elitist group" of RPG-Only kids in my grade school, when I was younger.
