I wasn't going to get one but I walked into a Gamestop randomly one day and there were four, sitting right there behind the employee. How could I not pick one up? It's a great little SNES machine, but better with the addition of Zombies Ate My Neighbors! and Chrono Trigger. Also really good for playing GBA games.

Just got home from holiday traveling and was going to put the switch back in the dock. Wife says I can play it on the TV if I want, but I say no, I'm just going to leave it in the dock. I then turn back around to put it in there...  Yahaha! She yells.

Hyrule castle wasn't a dungeon. The divine beasts, all combined, had enough content for a single dungeon. BotW is an incredible game. But as a Zelda it's pretty bad.

the ideal BotW sequel would reduce the total number of shrines to like ~80 or so and spend those resources on four (or more!!) main dungeons that are integrated into the overworld like hyrule castle but with more puzzles and locked doors. also it would be cool if it was similar to zelda 1 where keys aren't limited to specific dungeons

I'd be ok with a few more castles. Even if they weren't nessesarily dungeons. And maybe a darknut or two. And also a boss made up of a fat guy with a hammer and a skinny guy with a lightning spear.

RZA Encryption posted:Minish Cap is great and deserves a remake purely to get the amazing soundtrack in better quality than the Gameboy was capable of. Minish Cap is so, so good -- I love shrinking as a gameplay mechanic and exploring normal areas at small sizes and all that, and it does what I love best about Zelda -- establishes a dynamic setting with tons of depth hidden in plain sight. The dungeons and power ups were cool and the bosses were neat, a blend of big boss monsters and regular monsters who are now gigantic to your tiny self.

Waltzing Along posted:Hyrule castle wasn't a dungeon. It's definitely a dungeon but I know what you mean in a traditional Zelda sense. Basically my ideal dungeon would be all the entrances and hidden passages of Hyrule castle but with puzzles and keys and more minibosses like the Stalhinox as opposed to the relatively claustrophobic and linear structures of the Divine Beasts

Here is my zelda hot take: People fall in one of two camps, either they know and accept that botw is the greatest zelda ever made, or they are salty that their favorite zelda has been absolutely and definitively dethroned by the new zelda which takes a lot of what they like about their previous favorite and changed it or outright threw it out. Run all zelda takes through this lens and they all make much more sense.

I think Mark Brown had a great take on BotW's story compared to other open world games. In something like Skyrim all the wandering around you do is instead of the story--you're just putting it off until you feel like doing it, and then when you do do it it's just a normal linear video game story. In BotW, the outline of the story is "go fight Ganon when you're ready", and the actual exploring is you getting ready. So the story is sparse but the open world exploration is part of it instead of being orthogonal to it. Not everybody's cup of tea obviously.

I never liked the 3D Zelda formula so I guess that's why I liked BOTW. Especially after the last one I played was loving Skyward Sword. Going from mainline imprisonment and a terribly bad story to absolute freedom and a sparse narrative was a nice change. Now that the 3DS is pretty much dead I wonder if we'll ever get a 2D topdown Zelda ever again? Maybe they'd entrust it to somebody else like how Minish Cap had help from Capcom.

The Bloop posted:As to the constant complaints that spirit orbs ain't poo poo - they are literally pieces of heart that are the common reward in every other 3d zelda game but with the added option to cash them for stamina instead. I dislike the Shrines because they are devoid of context. The environment ceases to matter to me because I'm primarily just seeking out these shrines, which always take me to a sort of separate zone for puzzles. I'd have preferred actual in-context locations to get heart pieces from, or a return to Majora's Mask's style of having heart pieces represent the love and support of the people whose lives you improve through your heroism (as well as being treasures to find). Finding and completing Shrines in BOTW feels very "game-like" in a game that seems to want to draw me into its setting and world. There's no sense of awe or wonder with the Shrines for me because they all look and feel similar, even if the puzzles within are quite good. It seems like a small thing, but it's one of a number of small things that made BOTW surprisingly unengaging for me.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Battle Chef Brigade is pretty neat and it's already washed away the bitter taste of Tiny Metal, which I wish I hadn't bought so I could also be playing Golf Story right now Seconded, I had a good time over 7-8 hours with the campaign and the daily challenges give it a lot of replay value. I wish it had competitive multiplayer though.

I broke down and bought some PC games on the Steam sale. I’ve spent the first hour of the Fractured But Whole squinting at my TV screen wishing I was playing with the Switch in hands instead. Rainway can’t come soon enough. (I also bought Doom on Steam because A. I’m a monster and B. It’s only $15 loving dollars, goddamn)

Reality Loser posted:You were supposed to do something like that? I hated the tutorial because I kept dying in the water and freezing to death, and I only stopped freezing to death by constantly eating mushrooms. Yeah I don't think it's ever explicitly tutorialized but there's a river you'll probably want to cross in some forest and you see the old man chopping at a tree with an axe. If you cut down the tree next to him it'll fall across the river just so. Also if you find his shack there's a diary that tells you how to cook food that makes you temporarily cold-resistant, and then if you talk to him and cook him whatever food he's asking for he'll give you a tunic that also gives you cold resistance. I loved the tutorial honestly and it was kind of fun not having a paraglider, heights felt much scarier

That's a real shame because it's pretty versatile and powerful even on consoles (you can set up all kinds of triggers and make your own multiplayer game objectives, Halo "Forge" style) and it would work great with the Switch touchscreen. I was pretty impressed with what people had done with it on PS4

Barely being an hour or so into BotW and narrowly beating a Stone Talus in the Great Plateau with a big-rear end sword I just found is probably my favorite video game moment of the year I'd rank BotW's intro as one of the absolute best of all time

I’m pretty sure Aonuma confirmed that the 3DS Zelda team was moving over to the Switch and would continue on as usual. It makes sense since I’m sure they’re seeing how well retro-style games are selling on the Switch. It’s gotta be a lot more cost effective to produce and release a game like Link Between Worlds than Breath of the Wild. I would not be surprised to see a top-down Zelda game announced in 2018.
