TheVerge - A year ago, if you had told me I’d be spending my evenings playing Payday 2 on a tablet, I wouldn’t have believed you. Yet, here I am, plugging away at a heist game that came out five years ago. Such is the power of the Nintendo Switch.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has already cemented its legacy through its sprawling open world and commitment to player freedom.
Yesterday I was playing and there was a puzzle with two gears, (one moving and one stationary) and I couldn’t figure out how to get the stationary gear moving .
I took my spear and stuck it against moving gear and it transferred the motion to the stationary gear and that solved the puzzle.
I was so shocked I went online to see what was the intended way to solve this and I didn’t see anyone solve it quite the way I did (from the few videos I watched).
I definitely believe that this “intuitive” gameplay is the future of game design.
Indeed. The number of puzzles I solved thinking this will never work surprised me. One puzzle had me wanting to pull my hair out though. It was one of the jet rail puzzles. I looked up tips and one solution was as simple as creating a box and draping it over the rail and riding that across as you stood in the middle of it. I was done. 🤣
Nintendo may be working on a brand new Legend of Zelda game featuring Zelda as the main character, based on a new rumor.
It works
The cycle of hatred can't always be exactly the same
Maybe in one reincarnation the Hyrule family name their son Link in honour of Hylia's chosen hero and some village woman name their daughter Zelda in honour of Princess Zelda from the old tales of the lands past.
It’ll work because Nintendo doesn’t really care about lore consistency in the Zelda franchise (see the various weird discontinuities between BotW and TotK such as disappearance of Shiekah tech). If they want Zelda as a main character then they’ll make it happen.
This rumor, or variants of it, appears pretty much every time there is a gap with a non-announced Zelda game in the works. So I would take it with a grain of salt."
That said, I have always wanted a game where you play as her. Not exactly a "Zelda game", mind you, I always see her making more sense in something like a city builder/management or strategy game.
There's a rumor that another Zelda Musou game in the works. I'd sooner believe that one over this.
A character select screen would work just fine. If RPG developers, with far more complex gameplay everything, have been able to do this, why is Nintendo still dragging their feet?
This ain't Baldur's Gate nor Morrowind, so lets get to it already.
"The Warsaw-based (Poland) indie games publisher and deveöpåer RedDeer today announced with great joy and excitement that their frantic hotel management sim "Hotel Hustle", is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
The only way I’d play a game I’d otherwise ignore is if it were dramatically on sale, which doesn’t happen frequently and sometimes at all on Switch.
stop the hyperbole Lol...
I'm glad I picked up Doom for the Switch,such an enjoyable shooter and a title I wouldn't normally choose on the bigger consoles.Play's great in portable mode too.
Lol how is this being manipulated as a good thing? It's a result of Nintendo having only 2 heavy hitters and their consumers buying random games they don't really care about to justify the console purchase
Me too because there isn't any other games beyond Zelda and Odyssey that interest me. Most of the games on the horizon and currently out are too childish for my taste. Mario Rabbids, Splatoon, Kirby, or games that I've already beat on other consoles some cases years ago (LA Noire). I don't want ports or childish games I want some Metroid Prime 4, new Donkey Kong country, a real fire emblem not that dynasty warriors BS, and some other new entries like maybe a new kid Icarus, star fox, Mario Kart 9, Smash Bros, what about a new Castlevania?? Or a F zero reboot. The list of franchises the switch could bring forward to next gen gaming is endless. Instead of child games and ports from MS and Sony.
