thanks guys.

I'm just starting to think that 3D zeldas may not be for me. Except the new one looks like something I might enjoy.

I'll soldier through a bit more of it.

is this the general nintendo wii u thread now?

I have a controversial question. I'd post it in the Zelda thread but I dont want to get jumped on.
When does TP click?

I've gotten up to the horseback battle with the kid tied to a stick and it's just not fun.

Is my brain broken?

:smith:

I'm willing to accept that it is.

It's just not fun.

Soon you'll reach the Master Sword and suddenly most of the game's issues vanish. For about four hours it'll be a fun game and then it goes back to being bad, not as bad as the start tho. Keep pushing through and there will be two top-tier zelda dungeons, Arbiter's Grounds and Yeti Mansion, then call it quits. Then play Wind Waker for a game that's actually good instead of a flatline with two sudden peaks.

Twilight Princess is a Zelda I enjoyed, I remember a fair amount of, and I have no intention of ever playing again. The intro does drag an awful lot though. Wind Waker beats it by a longshot.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

Another Luigi's Mansion would own! Dark Moon was one of my favorite 3DS games.

As for NX, I had long thought the March release would surely give way to a Fall 2017 delay. If that manufacturing story is true, I suppose March is doable. One would also assume they have to start talking about it soon. If they don't announce anything before Labor Day then I'd be shocked if a delay isn't coming. Going into the holiday season, people need to know what it is and how much it'll cost so they can plan accordingly.

I've only played a bit of Dark Moon, I really like it but it would be so much better if each "world" could be a continuous environment instead of forcing you to teleport out any time you do anything.

I do hope the NX is a console/portable hybrid, though. That'd be neat. Even if it was just a portable with an HDMI out and an optional bluetooth controller.

OK, new pet peeve.

People on Youtube making clickbait videos with hideous NX mockups on the title card.







For all of Nintendo's faults, it has always made really attractive hardware (Virtual Boy jokes aside, and yes, I'd say that even extends to the humble Gamecube). Even the Wii U just looks like a Wii that went off its diet and let itself get a bit fat.

Nintendo NX is going to look a damned sight better than any of...those.

To be honest, I kinda like that last mockup even though there is absolutely no reason for nintendo to try to make something that looks like that other than for nostalgia bait

I like the third one, but it's still pretty disappointing at how unoriginal these mockup-artists are; a N64 with glowing neon lights, a third party skin on a Wii, and a squished NES. Hoorah.

Nintendo will introduce the controllers as their DS successor, make us buy the controllers,then they will put out the home hardware with a controllerless SKU after six months.

We will buy the Nxtroller because Mariokart 9.

Remember Zant said that as long as Ganondorf is alive, he (Zant) can be brought back to life. Ganondorf was still alive when Zant was defeated.

Given Nintendo's new direction (that direction being "where other companies have been going since ~2008"), I wouldn't be surprised (though I would be a bit disappointed) if the next Mario game was like 64 or Sunshine but with all of the various worlds bleeding into each other in one continuous map, rather than the discrete paintings of 64 or Ms of Sunshine.

Mario would have a Star radar in the upper left corner that says 54 meters to the northeast there's a Star etc.

Mario's Creed would be a pretty horrible idea on paper. It might just turn out fun because when's the last mainline Mario game that wasn't, but...yeah.

I'd prefer a hub than one contiguous world, or if you do have a contiguous world, a hub serving as shortcuts. That could work. Like, in Mario Sunshine you can see other levels from the level you're in, there's a real geography and continuity to it. So if you could actually get to other world if you want and maybe there's hidden stuff out there, but I'd still rather navigate with portals.
