I think you may not quite remember just how absolutely baffled the media and viewers were by the Wii-U reveal. Actual Media Outlets will still saying it was a new controller or something to the wii rather than it's own things months afterwards.

The worst aspect of the game isn't the controls, it's the fact that a good sixty percent of the game appears to be Star Fox 64 HD. The first level is nigh identical; the script is practically the same; the endgame "twist" to the plot is the same; you even fight the first boss of the 64 game as a late-game challenge. The game feels derivative of its own predecessor, and worse still in that it's another Star Fox sequel that is defined by gimmicks that detract rather than define the core gameplay.

This line kinda sticks out to me because every single star fox game has been defined by gimmicks, between the first one's "3d polygons???" to 64 having a 30 minute long video dedicated to how mindbending the rumble pack and control stick are. Zero using this as an attempt to push the gamepad more is basically right in line with the rest of the series.

Remember when the worst posts in Zelda threads were just about timelines?

I mean technically these are, but in a more pedantic way than usual

It might be best to keep in mind that this 'balance of the triforce' explanation is coming from an intern who was probably told by a game journalist who was told by a translator who was told by a probably pretty tired aonuma what the deal is. This may not be an exact thought to argue over.

You can't blame Microsoft for not having the Scorpio ready in time. Rendering those pixels -- the best pixels -- takes time.

Thank...you?


1) You're contradicting yourself here "I'd be fine with a female link" "it's stupid to replace link with female link" How do those two interact?
2) I don't think many people were seriously expecting Link to be 'replaced' with a female option, but rather were expecting a male/female choice on game start like Animal Crossing or Pokemon.

My guess is that he means he'd be fine with a female player character.

The idea of these little mini dungeons combined with items that have more utility in exploring + experimenting is a fantastic idea and a good way to keep things fresh.
