What is the Tetris equivalent of hiding in the bushes? I think it might be good to avoid attention by only clearing one line at a time when no one is targeting you but I have no idea how feasible a strategy that would be

I can appreciate that I'm in the minority of not liking how the Link's Awakening remake looks. I'm glad people are going to enjoy it, and I still have the original to play myself.

I don't understand how people can hate the Link's Awakening look. It sort of reminds me of A Link Between Worlds look but given a better look. I never dreamed by LA being remade but now that we are here I can see why they chose that art style. I never thought Link's Awakening would get a sort of BOTW or TP "feel" because I don't think it would be right. I don't think Nintendo devs thought, "how can we make LA more like TP?" I think the style they have for the gameboy games is stop on. I can literally see them doing the same for the oracle games later on.

Oh no, I'd never want a look like Twilight Princess, despite the fact that Link's Awakening is tied with Majora's Mask for darkest game. I would have killed for a high quality sprite/pixel art style, kind of like the GBA games but with the Switch power behind them. I fully confess I generally prefer sprite based art over 3D models, unless the game is explicitly going for a "realistic" look the hardware can power it; for example, I much preferred the GBA Fire Emblem games over the 3DS ones because the 3DS hardware couldn't power "good" polygons, and we ended up with characters with weird chibi bodies and stubs for feet.

Wind Waker experienced the same sort of backlash due to the artstyle as well. I guess most Western fans expect Zelda to be "gritty", "realistic" or "mature" and whenever they deviate from that, a backlash from some fans ensues. But yeah, Link's Awakening general tone was one of whimsy with slight bit of...what would the appropriate feeling be? apprehension? dread? As the island's nature is revealed to you. The "toy box" look fits somewhat. I would have been happy with an Octopath Traveler look as well though.

I like the way it looks but I'd like it more if they made a game that looks like the old artwork.    It'd be cool to at least have a filter that gives the game a more limited color palette like that. And a greyscale mode.

The appearance of the game is less important than the fact that other games are trying to innovate on the 2d (or 2d/3d) Zelda game concept and Nintendo isn't. It'd be cool to get a game that looks like this or slightly less Chibi but that had more advanced skill and other systems and tried to be an innovator in the space.

I'd describe it as starting out quaint, almost whimsical, but it doesn't take long before you begin to realize something is off. The game builds a kind of quiet, almost horror as you discover that the entire game is the dream of a demigod, and that while your only chance at escape is to wake said demigod, you have no assurance that "escape" means getting home. You could very well simply cease to exist. Which is exactly what you discover will happen to every person you meet on the island. And they all know it too. They straight up state that they are all a dream of the Wind Fish, and that they definitely WILL disappear if he wakes, because they originated in his dream.

woo 10th win in tetris 99 I just target attackers. When you hit them with a couple tetrises or combos they switch pretty quick if they know what's good for them. And I think you get a super attack boost if there's like 10 people targeting you? There's lots of shiny things anyway.

Bongo Bill posted:People complaining about the Link's Awakening remake art style is really taking me back to 2002. What a hot fuckin' take you have there bud  Bashing Wind Waker was dumb because while the art was a departure from past games, WW was a brand new title and could set its own style. Link's Awakening is a remake of an existing game, and it set the style for the handheld Zelda games until Minish Cap. Whether you like the new art style or not in a vacuum, you can't deny it is completely different from the original version both technically and in the tone they are shooting for. Its like a bright toybox, which actually could make for a really neat take on a Zelda game, just not this particular Zelda game, in my opinion.

Counterpoint: Wind Waker, even at however old is still more innovative and interesting than everything that has tried to stand on its shoulders.

The blocks in Tetris 99 are far too whimsical and cute imo. They should have been more dark and gritty for such a cutthroat game.

I think it might be good to avoid attention by only clearing one line at a time when no one is targeting you but I have no idea how feasible a strategy that would be When starting off, I build up the stack leaving room for an I piece, but only clear it if I have garbage. I figure that you won’t be targeted for KOs, Badges, or Attacking at that point, and only need to fight off fandoms that are attacking you. It’s also fun to wait until you have two I and an L piece, target someone near the top, then dump 11 lines on them real quick.

The way the remake looks is basically perfect to me, what they showed so far shows to me they are translating it to 3D perfectly. Everything is small and cute and compact looking and seems to convey the sense of whimsy Link's Awakening had. I think I would be horrified if the remaster looked more like that artwork Annath posted:Whether you like the new art style or not in a vacuum, you can't deny it is completely different from the original version both technically and in the tone they are shooting for.

When Windwaker was announced/revealed, I adored the style of it. The game looks amazing and it's aged better than all of it's GC peers because of it. My issue with the LA remake is that the art style does not jive with the slightly sinister undertones of the game. It takes that sort of wistfulness and drowns it out in these oversaturated colors.

I like it, aside from the eyes maybe. His eyes will probably look more expressive to me once I've seen more of it though, so I'm not really worried. Link's Awakening was a weird game and I'm prepared for the remake to be weird too

If you ask me, Link’s Awakening shouldn’t have graphics at all. Make it a text adventure like it should have been to begin with. Graphics are for children, words are for adults.
