Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "While I'm not sure where to begin with this, I'll start by saying that the Switch presentation reveal was just horrible and hard to sit through."
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "The Nintendo Switch has been one Nintendo’s most successful systems ever, both measured by the number of units sold and the quality of its titles, but if there’s one thing this generation has been missing it would have to be the Nintendo Selects line, bringing existing titles that had paid their dues back at bargain prices. With the Switch now entering its twilight years, and there being few new titles in store for the foreseeable future, what better time could there be to bring back this tried-and-true tradition? While the actual realization of it may be doubtful given how rigid both hardware and software prices have become in recent years, that only gives us all the more reason to dream up a hypothetical lineup of our own.
For this article the specific focus will not be on those massive multi-million evergreens that the lineup would no doubt contain a few of to cement its value, but instead on games that for one reason or another fell short of their full potential the first time around and deserve a second chance to reach more players at an affordable price. Let’s get started."
I really want Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch, can't believe that hasen't been ported. I'm playing Skyward Sword at the moment and I'm almost finished, but it's so long and the controls are so bad, even without motion. Astral Chain is fantastic though, they should make a sequel.
Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."
The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..
I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.
I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.
but still considered the best of the seties.
i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.
25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.
Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.
The best prices we've found this Black Friday for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom as well as the previous game, Breath of the Wild.
It's going to be really awkward walking into a store and see a Wii U and Switch retailing for the same price.
The worst part of the reveal was that Wii-centric trailer of people using those JoyCons in unconventional ways. Nintendo can't seem to move past that Wii era that's already left them.
I disagree.
It was really only the beginning few sections, the half asleep translator for the Suda51 bit, the lack of more screen time for the many third party games that are now coming forward to announce games for it outside of the presentation, and the online multiplayer paywall, that were bad.
Outside of that, it was awesome, and the ending was a clincher that brought reactions not seen since the Twilight Princess for GC reveal way back when.
Arguably the 2nd worst (xbox one reveal takes the cake) game presentation ever!
On a side note, imagine if the this new nintendo console had the same specs and price as the xbox one S with the same 3rd party support as MS and Sony are getting right now?? They would without a doubt outsell both Sony and Microsoft in the same time frame. I MEAN WHY COULDN'T NINTENDO JUST DO THAT?? Instead of these gimmicky wack games they made the Joy-Cons for that almost no hardcore gamer gives a crap about?
If you are an entitled brat who loves to hate everything and wouldn't know a good game if it hit you in the face...sure it was a nightmare. Only part I hated was the EA portion, felt bad for Suda's translator but he sounded like a kid trying to get his college credit but that doesn't affect the system and all the awesome games announced for this year.
I agree. I went into the presentation hoping Nintendo would show me they learned from the Wii U annnnnnnd they didn't. It's still Nintendo being Nintendo. But they did show Shin Megami Tensei so as soon as there's a price drop or a good Black Friday deal I'll buy one if that game is exclusive otherwise... meh
