And this is why people tell you off for calling Link "Zelda"

Looks like Link has had enough of being called "Zelda" and come 4th April, he's going to snap.

I hate what N4G has become...

This is probably in the top 10 of terrible "news" articles approved on N4G.

Glad I don't come here as often as I used to.

tarbis4475d ago

I guess Link has had enough for always being called a gurl. Does this mean he's going to kill the princess instead of saving her?
If that happens, I'll be playing it. :D

tiffac0084473d ago

I think that would defeat the purpose of trying to get the girl in the end. ^^

Droid Control4474d ago

Wait?! Link isn't a girl?

I thought he had a sex change a couple of games back?

LX-General-Kaos4474d ago

These articles are pretty bad. but this particular one has a point.

Calling Link Zelda is a classic rookie mistake and is frowned upon by any self respecting Nintendo supporter.

Thats like thinking Michael Jordan was #25 all these years. Or that Stone Cold Steve Austin was from California. Or that Uncharted 4 was being developed for the XBOX 360.

Link is a legendary man of class, and deserves respect.

Rated E for Everyone

Makes you wonder why all the games where never called the Legend of Link, doesn't it? Every game really isnt about Zelda, but all about Links adventure to save her. Funny how most legends are always about the heroes, yet this legend is all about a princess who pretty much never does anything except get rescued. Once in a while she helps out a bit here or there, but its not really her legend at all.........not unless she's telling the story, which in that case its her legend because its her story being told. Link really doesn't get any credit for all his hard work LOL.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H96d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX5d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H95d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro5d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos4d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger886d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos6d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris5d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

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."

RiseNShine23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

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.

gold_drake22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

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.

Inverno22d ago

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.
