I want to see a Yoshi movie! It would be a really fitting sequel for this one

My problem with TotK boils down only to the fact that if we look at BotW, it was absolutely PACKED with surprises: there were countless new places to explore, so many interesting new mechanics and fun things to discover (like shield surfing, temperature variation, climbing, food, horse taming and the list goes on forever). So so many fresh things that it didn't even matter in the end that the story wasn't good or that there were no real dungeons.

But if TotK has the same overworld and most of those same mechanics overall, then it needs something new that is just as big, surprising and fun as BotW's new features were. You can't even compare these new four abilities + some sky islands with all those new and fresh features that BotW had. It's just not nearly enough to justify this being a MORE expensive game than BotW was.

I'm looking forward to knowing WHAT exactly are the huge and fresh surprises they are holding in store for us in TotK that will keep players hooked for 200-300+ hours on this game, like BotW did for many. If there isn't much anything substantial, then for most people who already have played the ***** out of BotW I think that this will be a ~30 hour game which never gets played anymore after going through the main story.

I feel so bad for saying this, but honestly I was bored watching the gameplay... I don't really care for a lot of new mechanics and gimmicks, instead I would prefer many more new overworld areas (some separate, detached sky islands aren't doing the trick for me), themed dungeons, a lot of characters and an interesting story arch that keeps me hooked on the game.

I loved exploring in BotW and played it for over 300 hours. But I probably will never play it again from the beginning, I felt like it was "fresh" for just one playthrough honestly, since there was quite a lot of repetition (especially the shrines, divine beasts, copy-paste Bokoblin camps etc.). If this game is going to be mostly just more of that same repetition, I don't think I'm gonna buy it. But I sincerely hope I'm wrong!

I'm not the only one who said this, but honestly I don't care for a Zelda that is just crammed full of side quest-y stuff like building and customising etc. From a Zelda game I want a solid, interesting, unexpected and touching story that is the driving force of the game and the things I'll do in the world. In BotW there really wasn't anything like this, the story was poor. A different kind of a sandbox-y Zelda was fun once, but I don't know if I'm interested in a second one.
I just wish they would make something similar again to OoT, Majora, TP... Just imagine a Zelda game like the good old ones but with modern day graphics and a larger world (not necessarily open though)

A bummer for someone like me who bought MK8 for Wii U 8 years ago... Was hopeful for MK9 and won't even be able to utilise this DLC since it's only for Deluxe. It sometimes sure feels like Nintendo wants to sh*t on everyone who trusted them and bought a Wii U back then

One of the things I liked the least in BotW were the mobs: basically just Bokoblins, Lizalfos, Talus and Hinox over and over again. It got absolutely boring as heck and towards the end of the game I tried actively to avoid all battles. What concerns me is that the only battle we saw in this trailer was a Bokoblin camp on top of a... Stone Talus. How very interesting. 😐

I'm just worried that the game will feel mostly like a BotW expansion and not enough like a new game to keep me interested in it. BotW had virtually no story so if it's the same world mostly with the same npc's and as lackluster of a story, I don't know if I'll enjoy it. Hope I'm wrong! I've been loving Zelda games since OoT so it would be a real bummer if same thing happened to them as Pokemon these days.

Holy. poopoodoodoocacapoopledoople
I am in love with this game already holy freaking poopoodoodoocacapoopledoople
THE SUNSET
THE SMOOTH ANIMATION
THE HUGE WORLD
THE WILD HORSES

I don't really believe it... they have this habit of putting out only trailers anyway when the game is almost done so I think it's not that odd that there's no information. but we'll see..

I think people who aren't that rich (like most people) just bought ORAS instead of SSB on launch day bc it's cheaper. that's what I did, will buy smash on xmas.

Level cap increase? why...

******* Europe. Grrrrrrr. [Please watch your language - Tom]
Nevertheless will be picking up ORAS in a week and Smash shall wait till Christmas.

@PvtOttobot ehh what? she doesn't look fat at all to me, especially her thighs are really skinny... also I think she would have some muscle in her calves

This is good tbh. Why are some people so bummed out by this? before y'all hated dlc because it's a cash cow lol

NO! XD I stopped breathing when I saw the review was up and scrolled right down to score and... haha. I hope it'll be a 10!

Wow, huge file size is huge. I won't be buying on launch day because ORAS (grrrrr.... WHY ON THE SAME DAY) but when I will, it'll be physical

Great article. I hadn't even thought about most of these things yet and I can see especially the limited functionality being a problem. It would suck to buy, say, a Robin amiibo and then see it only being functional in SSB and some kind of FE related title.

OoT and MM definitely got a facelift but still I can't help wondering couldn't they do better? Why didn't they fix the hands...

Well, I am excited anyway! Haven't played MM before so a brand new game for me yo.

I love this site XD "one game to hyrule them all" and now "remember, remember"

Played the demo and I am loving how smooth and fast it is compared to brawl. Won't buy on release day but asap and I can't wait!

Same day as ORAS... ugh. Not gonna be a release day purchase for me then. Will wait to christmas probs...

HAHAHA i don't even have 7 friends.

The track is okay, but it's already been remade. Where's Wario colosseum?

What..? They are in the demo which came out (in europe) like a week ago and only now they are confirmed? I find this hard to believe lol.

I thought it meant she was supposed to be playable... but well anyway, lame. But there's a lot of other characters too.. why they didn't replace her?

Apparently finnish gamers just need to put their email on nintendo's official finnish site and they'll send the code HAH

Been hacking and slashing for a week already And enjoying every single moment. This game is truly so much better than I ever thought from the trailers, they just don't give the big picture of what all this game actually contains.

NO. NO MARIO WARRIORS. All-star warriors would be interesting but what i need is freaking FIRE EMBLEM WARRIORS PLS MAKE IT HAPPEN

@Fade That's just really wrong. Wii U has a few great games and more is coming.

Those are hilarious ahahha. I love that they still make these original commercials somewhere. In my country they only show some gameplay and trailers...

@mateq Agreed! There's always some leftover money in there which will, at least eventually, be wasted.

@Pigeon everyone (like me) doesn't have a credit card...

THEY'RE LIKE THE ORIGINAL GAME CARTS HOLY

@Tsurii897 true, though before the current type GTS I always had a kind of a fascination with event pokemon and I would always go to those events even if they were far. They were also a chance to meet other Pokefans... these days they, luckily for some, just give everything through wifi tho.

I'm pretty sure they'll put a demo on eshop too. THey did with SSB, why not with this?

@NintyMan I've never played a Warriors game but I'm really enjoying this so far. I don't find the quality bad either, honestly the nitpicking about the graphics especially is too much. I think it looks gorgeous mostly, so much better than any real Zelda game ever and that's enough for me.

I don't get the big hype about the demo tho. There's almost nothing in there... but, the game really feels great! I am SO surprised about how good it looks honestly even on the small 3DS. I would definitely buy if I didn't have a Wii U. Great job nintendo! I wish I could try out more characters...

Buying it tomorrow, mainly because I'll get the free DLC pack. 50 euros is a bit rough price but whatever I guess I can treat myself once in a while haha. I think I will like it anyway.

If I understood right a eshop demo is coming on 19th? Why the fuss now? It's not that bad to wait 5 days omg.

That's pretty weird. But I'm happy.

I really don't like any of these excrpt for Ness :/ well, you don't always get what you want

This was one of my fav GBA games back in the days! I really liked the rpg aspect.

Can't wait <3
I wish I could play it on the new 3DS XL but naaah. I hate how small and bad the original 3DS I own is. ugh.

Different haircolors for the villagers would've been cool but eh. Those samuses tho.

They need to show this reel in all stores and everywhere because this is the best ad of Wii U ever.

I reallyreally want the XL but I bought the original 3ds back in the days for like 250... and just.. I really don't want to know that I cashed out 500 in total just for a 3DS. D: Maybe I'll get an used one someday...

I wish they'd release Mother 3 in english. It's got a perfect fan translation for a rom though, but still I'd definitely buy a real copy. <3

Good that it wasn't Mario. Though a reverse Sunshine would certainly be interesting lol

OHMYGOD!! NINTENDO KART!

Arcade...? blah D:

I'd get a PS4 but it can't play PS3 games so not getting a PS4.
