Can I vote for 1080 avalanche three times?? GIVE ME SNOWBOARDING PLEASE. EA once said they would bring steep to switch… 7 years later and I’m still pining.
The trailer made me hype. It looks huge. It’s taken 10 years to make. So many unanswered questions. Kinda wish there was a story mode - but all the options and the single player objectives etc have made me very excited
Can someone explain to me how gameplay works? Is it turn based combat or a different combat system? It looks really interesting so think I just need to throw myself in.
Cindaquil was always my fav. Totodile second, chikorita was third - but still a goodie. I’m happy with the starters, and I’ll go for either of the Gen 2 mons!
I can’t wait for Switch 2. I’m also tempted to dip into an OLED and lite if the prices drop… my OG switch has taken me this far. Might as well see it out with a bang!
I am still holding out hope that the leaks are fake, or are not revealing the whole picture. An iterative approach is fine, but that isn’t necessarily the Nintendo we know and love. I love Nintendo because of the random, the out of the box thinking, the innovation. If it just higher specs, I’ll still be buying, but I will be a bit disappointed .
I would like to see some extreme sports games again. I desperately want a 1080 resurgence… they did it for Tony Hawks, let’s go 1080, or SSX or even Steep! (Damn you EA for going back on your word)
There are some weird comments in this thread. Game looks good, would be amazing if it came to Switch 2. Witcher 3 on switch was a huge achievement, lets see what the future holds!
For sure echo the majority of the comments, the minor details make Nintendo games… whenever a Metroid game comes out, we all stare at the shoulders, what do they look like in this game? Slightly strange comments and sounds like they needed to go work on their own stuff. Also saying that working with the low tech of the Wii also makes me question them… just because graphics aren’t top end doesn’t mean you can’t make a top game, again, Nintendo show that regularly.
I always seem to choose the lesser preferred option. The Japanese version took my eye because of the shape and size. Both are great, Japanese version looks more fun!
I loved both equally, they are both fantastic, but as Felix said in his video - it was the freshness, the new discoveries, the wonder that Breath of the Wild brought that tears of the kingdom couldn't... I still put 150 hours into tears of the kingdom, but without the master mode i am not as keen to go back for a second dip so soon!
I learnt my lesson from my Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, DS and 3DS... where I sold my collection to upgrade for the next console. Criminal. Never again. Slowly I am building those collections up (for twice the price minimum). I shan't be trading any switch games in thats for sure!
Having been a die hard Pokémon fan since blue and yellow, this was the first game that I haven't completed. I didn't even make it into the crater! I have also not bought the DLC. Maybe a just feel a bit burnt out.
Despite the open world feel, it felt like a backward step compared to Arceus, and the bugs and jankyness just put me off. Fun for a bit, then just... meh.
I might pick it up eventually, but we shall see.
Hopefully the next game will pique my imagination and reenergize my love for the franchise!
N.B. This is my own experience and I totally get why people love and hate the new games.
If there are any reasons to dive into the DLC - let me know!!
I have been finding this as well. I havent taken my switch on the bus to work in a while, its slightly too big, while the gba sp slips in and out of my pocket, doesnt need me to do a wide arm grip and can packed into 10 min levels. I do love it. I have gone for the 3ds recently, but it depends on what games I have on the go and when. Flights and longer trips, switch, short trips to work.. gba! Especially with a modded screen....
I have recently replayed Link to the past and Minish Cap. I have also finally completed Wind Waker after 20 years ( I really thought I got further as a kid). Currently working through oracle of ages, before I dive back into Skyward Sword or Link between worlds(*edit)... I also really want to replay the DS titles... Goddam I just want to play Zelda all the time. So excited for Tears of the Kingdom
@somebread holy moly, that’s so on the nose they must have been pissed off! Hopefully the patch sorts it all out… I won’t be starting it till a patch comes!
@BlackenedHalo fair play, do they interlink at all? I don’t have loads of time to play games anymore so that’s my reasoning for potentially starting with IV or VI
I haven’t really played final fantasy before, im guessing this is the best place for me to start? I was planning on playing 4 or 6 on my gba via ever drive but might do this instead. Any advice from anyone?
Haven’t played COD since the Wii days - which was great fun with the point and shoot controls. I don’t really care for multiplayer but if there was a game with a good single player story… I’d be tempted to dive in again!

@naxuu this is correct
Re: Nintendo Submits "Mysterious New Wireless Device" To FCC
@PurpulTyeDye definitely my train of thought. The Wii U was great, I would be surprised if this didn’t happen!
Edit:
Would also mean they could remaster a load of old DS games too!

Re: Nintendo Shares Drop Following Latest Reports Of Switch 2 'Delay'

Re: Soapbox: Switch Is Great, But The GBA SP Was The Pinnacle Of Public Transport Gaming
