I think this is the current thread for it. Yes, the OP image makes it seem otherwise.

Already tripled Skyward Sword’s lifetime sales in a few days. I don’t think we’re ever going back to the old format lol

Skyward Sword wasn't the old format or the new format, it was a vile aberration.

And thus lmao forever at those stats.

Breath of the wild has inspired me to give skyward sword another chance. At some point. Probably after TotK. But I’m like 20 hours into BotW right now so we shall see.

Seriously, I enjoy Pac-Man and all, but this didn't need the 99 treatment, nor did it use it particularly well.

Bring back Mario 35 :argh:

mario 35 was still extremely well-populated right to the end, pac-man 99 was a ghost town heh within a month or two with games consisting mostly of cpus. i don't understand why they didn't monetize mario 35 with characters or some poo poo and kept it around, it was a far better fit for this format and the most fun i had in a competitive multiplayer game in ages.

in a just world they'd bring mario 35 back to replace pac-man 99.

SS is neat but it's its own thing. in my 2022 goty writeup of the HD version i thought of it like if it came from another timeline where Zelda was a PS2 series rather than a Nintendo series. every region is its own dungeon with a dungeon inside it, and a lot of the design surrounds traversal, and it even has vague elements of 3D platforming type design (even though it's obviously not really a platformer)

What is “secret stone” in Japanese? It sounds so lame in English that I assume it’s a literal translation of something that has ideomatic or metaphoric context.

All Nintendo games that are dubbed should have an alternative language option to replace all vocals with Animal Crossing style noises no matter how weird it would be for a game's tone or aesthetics.

Sort of like how the Star Fox games had alternate voice tracks?

there is a part in the second half of TOTK with a.. character, and, i will just say, it feels like something is borked about their atk/def in a way that Nintendo did not intend and I wonder if it needs a patch. they're fine for the boss fight later, but the trek to it... not so much lol

A co-worker of mine has been prepping for his daughter's upcoming 5th birthday. He got her a Switch Lite and asked me for recommendations on games. He insisted on getting her a couple of Paw Patrol games (ugh), but I balanced that with a recommendation for Yoshi's Crafted World and Kirby Star Allies. (Recommended Star Allies over Forgotten Land cuz I thought it would be easier for a very young child).

I also told him when she learns to read a bit better, she can get into Animal Crossing and Pokemon.

The sense of freedom in regular BotW is unparalleled.

TotK lets you do cooler things but it feels less magical. And it's a little more guided.

If you have an absolute ton of extra time, play BotW first. If your gaming time is more limited, I'd skip to TotK. Both can be huge time sinks, depending on how addicted you may get.

TOTK doesn't super care about the events of the previous game aside from you meeting people you fought alongside in BOTW and a painting in Impa's house in Kakariko Village. TOTK introduces the central conflict of the game within the first 5 minutes and that's what everyone is focused on in the world.

That’s a bad take, they’re both equally worth playing unless you only have like 40 hours of gaming time left in your entire life and you absolutely need to fill it with the most current hotness

That's an even worse take because you obviously don't know how much time you have left and you will usually probably die in the next few hours and should always live your life like it's your final moments.
