Joseph Turner of GAMElitist.com "If you have played Wii Sports Resort, then you know pretty much how it will feel to play Zelda: Skyward Sword."
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Shoddy graphics? I think they look great. Love the art style.
Going back to when i just got Wind Waker, you could not have met a bigger fan of the Zelda series. Wind Waker was absolutely gorgeous and delightful, but it was both short and far too easy frankly apart from Gannon himself. I came away feeling disapointed but still having enjoyed very much my experience of this episode
It was then with Twilight that i once again became very excited that we'd see a return to the that same older form of old. And it was an excellent game in ways, but it was insultingly easy and led you by the hand just way too much at times- the last two dungeons basically led you from one dungeon directly to another, with none of the clue searching of previous games. Gorgeous game though and Midna was an adorable character. Either through a slight lacking on Nintendo's part or just because they didn't want to turn away potential new fans, Twilight ended up being a good game in it's own way only and not what i expect of a truly rich epic Zelda experience. A good game then but Zelda was always much more than that to me. I'm all for playing casually and i'm aware of how people are starting to enjoy that more relaxed play, but when Nintendo figure this into one of their greatest franchises, you can't help feel a little annoyed. At least this time there will be a second playthrough option- hopefully difficulty increases here too
I'll get a Wii back in a shot for Skyward Sword but i'd be lieing if i said i wasn't worried
And yes the art style is excellent and providing the game is a step up, i'm happy. A little surprising perhaps though that it doesn't technically look better than Twilight(Gamecube game), considering Wii has twice the power
