@holygeez03 Depending on how well Cruis'N sells, possibly neither.
I'm asking myself the same question about Bayo 3 and Prime 4. I know that MP4 is a long way from complete, but at least it was mentioned. Bayo 3, on the other hand, is looking more like vaporware every year.
Looked good to me but it seems like Nintendo will focus on Skyward Sword, in 2021. I wouldn't expect any other anniversary announcements, until after SS launches...if at all.
Smart move, I might actually think about buying SS now 🤔
@Clyde_Radcliffe I hope so. I'll admit that I'm not entirely sure how the next step process would work, but of course life will go on/business as usual.
I just have a hard time thinking of this as a victimless crime.
@alexybubble I think that the "money hoarders at the top" will be just fine. Obviously, these things happen. I also highly doubt that this will screw EA over for a long period of time, sorry lol.
Please keep in mind that these hackers are not the Robin Hood Champions of Gamers. They'll most likely sell the source code. Their motive wasn't to punish EA. This was done for profit.
Lastly, the real victims are the programmers who have invested countless hours into writing the code. Also, law enforcement who now has to invest their time dealing with these thugs.
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.
@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.
@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 @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.
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.

Re: Random: Fan Theory About Possible Nintendo Reveal Debunked By 20-Year-Old Magazine Article
@noobish_hat No thanks, save that puddle for someone that shares your interest.
I'lll take Aunoma's word for it.
Re: Random: Fan Theory About Possible Nintendo Reveal Debunked By 20-Year-Old Magazine Article
@noobish_hat Almost... Eiji Aonuma confirmed the existence of the Zelda timeline, back in 2007. It was also revealed in the Hyrule Historia, in 2011.
Re: Stylish Action Adventure Title 'UNSIGHTED' Heads To Switch This Fall
@BloodyMurder To my knowledge, that is not game's cover. That was chosen by this author, I assume.
Also, I'm pretty sure that it wasn't chosen because the character is Black. Although, who knows and who cares?
Re: Metroid Dread Is GameStop's Top Pre-Order Following E3 2021
I'm not a Metroid fan either, but this is great news for this franchise. Metroid Dread could be the first game in the series to break 3 million.
Re: Random: What's Happened To Bayonetta 3, Platinum?
Bayonetta 3 traded places with Metroid Dread.
Next update should be in about a decade or two.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
C
Average, for me. I would have rated it higher, if I was into Metroid.

Re: Metroid Prime 4 Was First Announced Four Years Ago Today
@Razer You should really consider taking your own advice... Even if it was released, it definitely wasn't cross gen (meaning launch title).
The only Zelda cross gen titles are TP and BotW. Also, Switch Pro won't be next gen anyway. So you're entire argument makes no sense.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Was First Announced Four Years Ago Today
@Razer Skyward Sword was never released on the WiiU.
Regardless, Nintendo cross gen releases only happen for failed consoles. Also, the Switch Pro wouldn't be considered next gen anyway.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Digital Deals Promotion To Follow E3 Event
Sounds good.
I wasn't planning on making any purchases until after E3 anyway.
Re: What Are Your Favourite Switch Online SNES And NES Games? Nintendo Wants To Know
For me, The Legend of Zelda and A Link to the Past.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think The "Switch Pro" Will Actually Be Called?
IF the rumors are even true then I'm thinking Switch Plus.
They could brand it with a neat little + .

Re: Yes, Link's Improved "Fast Travel" In Skyward Sword HD Really Does Seem To Be Locked Behind An amiibo
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.
Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy Switch Port? Unlikely, Says Former Retro Studios Dev
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.

Re: Sony Invests Another $200 Million In Fortnite Creator Epic Games
This has nothing to do with Nintendo.
Re: Feature: Zelda: Twilight Princess' Flipped World On Wii Made Me Go A Little Cucco
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 💯

Re: PAC-MAN 99 Announced Exclusively For Nintendo Switch Online
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 😏
Re: Review: Genesis Noir - This Indie Gem Deserves A Better Switch Port
@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.

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.

Well done and Thank You 💯
My brother got a Switch finally and we're playing Smash this evening.
Re: Former Nintendo Of America President Reggie To Step Down From GameStop's Board Of Directors
@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.

Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
@everynowandben Oh... Name 1 game, other than Zelda 2, that has all 3 of those qualities that is not an RPG.
Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
@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?
Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
@BloodNinja Well said 💯
the4seer APPROVED
Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
@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?
Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
@BloodNinja Ok... I'm lost... You're playing as Link. That's a role, right?
Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
@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?
