Come on! I went to Japan last year and got all the Pikmin terrariums and the NES/Famicom controller keychains… Now they announced the 2nd waves for both. 😭 Gotta go to Japan again, I guess, lol.
Play in Japanese for that "kid growing up in a country where they don't speak one of the select few languages and not understanding anything" experience. For those learning Japanese, it could be a nice and (probably) easy way to complete a whole game in their target language!
So far it's fine, but it's becoming a little boring to me (just started the chapter with the ring fights and it's probably the worst chapter so far). The battle system is nothing to write home about (not even close to being as captivating as, say, Pokémon). The story is meh. I think I enjoyed The Origami King more at this point. I like the open spaces of TOK and it might have looked better if my memory serves me right.
Can someone explain how this works exactly? Is Nintendo waiting for all the players currently online to finish their game before fully shutting down the servers?
I already didn't like having the Jirard NPC while playing the game, way before the controversy. Can't we have a nice fantasy game without references to YouTube personas?
@Anachronism Those things that you mentioned somehow make the game feel indie, but not in a good way. I feel like most indie games I tried tend to try to be really funny and casual, but it ends up being slightly off-putting to me.
That's awesome. I'm a firm believer in options. More games should have difficulty options ranging from "the game plays itself" to "this is literally unbeatable".
This event was probably the most fun anyone will ever have with the game lol.
Also, if it sells really bad, it could end up being a rare and sought after game in 30 years.
And that's why I skipped as many fights as possible and gave up on the game after finishing the last temple. I'm not interested in stressful boss fights, so I'll wait with finishing Zelda games until they add easy difficulty modes (so probably never).
Fonts can make or break a game for me, lol. I much preferred Pokémon Emerald to Pokémon Ruby not because of any postgame content but mostly because it used a much nicer font. Same reason I never wanted a Nokia phone—the font they used in their old phones just didn't sit right with me. This new pixelated font in the Final Fantasy remastered games looks sweet!
@nkarafo You're not alone. I literally don't understand what most people here are talking about lol. To me this looks like a more stressful Breath of the Wild. I wish Nintendo added accessibility features (aka easy and story difficulty modes) to Zelda games, for those that just want to relax while pressing random buttons on their controllers.
3DS was a magical console. So many great games. The console reveal with Kid Icarus still gives me goosebumps. I was blown away by the graphics and so excited to play such good looking games on the go, and in stereoscopic 3D at that.

@Samalik I thought that by writing "(jk!)" it would be clear I was just making a joke, but oh well.

It's not in 60 fps, unwatchable. (jk!)

Re: Random: Waluigi Designer Shares Scrapped Character Art Of "Walpeach"
Didn't expect to see Yatterman mentioned on NintendoLife. It would have worked so well to have Wario and Waluigi act as Wapeach's Tonzura and Boyakki.

10/10? I started playing it twice on the DS, but never got far as I got bored pretty quickly. I guess this wouldn't change in the Switch port.
