I'm like 70 shrines into BOTW and I'm really not sure where they take the series from here. I'm not sure how they top this without taking it in another completely new direction.

BotW is a watershed moment for the series, and I think the next game in the series will have some very very big shoes to fill.
Like I've been playing for a while now and even though I've done an insane amount of exploration I still have half the world to discover... then all the side missions to investigate.. then actually exploring every inch of the map..

It's just insane the sheer size and scope that BotW has managed to accomplish.

That said, I still think there is always going to be room for a more 'traditional' entry into the series.
ALBW was an excellent reimagining of the standard 8-dungeon formula, and I'd love to see a more focused top-down 8-dungeon Zelda on the Switch to see what they'd come up with.

If there is one game that needs people to take another look at it, it is Sunshine for some reason people just ragged on that game. I found it quite wonderful and think another release would help people realize how great it is.

basically I loving love Sunshine and you should too.

I never got the hate for Sunshine. Personally I loved the hell out of it, but it was basically the end result of years of collect-a-thon games coming to a head.

I know I can play it on Dolphin in HD, but my PC isn't powerful enough to do so and I'd love to play it again on my Switch.

Also, restating that 70 shrines in there is a clear front runner for Best Shrine and if you haven't gone there, you should. No context provided beyond "Bring Arrows" (but you should probably be buying every arrow you see from every vendor you see anyway). Go to Death Mountain, look on your map in the lava to the northwest, get inside the crab.

Yeah just did this one. It's awesome.

I love that the basically looked at what makes a Zelda dungeon memorable and went "Why don't we just strip out all the puzzles and then make 100 enclosed puzzles, then have the dungeons as a much more complex puzzle to solve"

It really really works well :allears:

Destructoid gave 1-2-Switch a 4.5/10

https://www.destructoid.com/review-1-2-switch-422668.phtml

Honestly that seems about right. I got it on the cheap, and it really doesn't have much legs to it.
Hopefully by the holiday season it'll be a pack-in for new buyers, and heavily discounted for everyone else.

Breath of the Wild is very ambitious and its framerate problems shouldn't be reflective of how most games will play on the Switch

It's, apparently, already running on the CeMU emulator. Well the WiiU version is anyway. So give it some time and I reckon you'll see 1080p 60FPS BotW running on high end pcs.

Switch + Zelda breakin' records in the merry old land of Oz as well :toot:

quote:

We can confirm that, across Australia and New Zealand combined, Nintendo Switch sold more in its launch weekend than any other Nintendo hardware in history.

Launch title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has not only been bestowed with some of the highest review scores in gaming history, in Australia and New Zealand combined it’s had the best launch weekend sales in the Zelda series’ 30-year history. Not only that, it’s the biggest-selling Nintendo hardware launch title ever in this region, even outselling Wii Sports – previously the biggest-selling Nintendo launch title ever in this region – in terms of first weekend sales.

And all this in March, traditionally a quiet time for the games industry.

I am playing Zelda in bed. It owns.
This is everything I wanted the WiiU to do and more.

Gonna buy digital for pretty much everything.
Then I can import cheap games from Amazon to Australia when they have sales eventually because it's region free.

System is fantastic.
