Pokemon Stars for the Switch? Poor PS4!

MM is terrible with that rediculous GIMiCK. It tries too hard to be edgy and do something different. I personally hated it cause I don't like how having a time limit completely discourages exploration. And how the whole game sort of feels like 'rush here, do that and then rush there'. I don't find that fun, and I don't understand why it has stans

It adds difficulty and a sense of urgency. I remember being 8 and getting scared shitless everytime the timer got close.

It's one of my fave Zeldas, alongside ALTTP and Link's Awakening.

I wonder what new characters we gonna get for the new Smash Bros

Considering the size of the roster already I'm not hopeful for anything that exciting. Hopefully they include the DLC characters or something because as much as I want Bayonetta in my game I am NOT paying £5 for one ****ing character.

Spirit Tracks was actually the first Zelda game I completed so I have a fondness for it and really enjoy the touchscreen mechanic. Phantom Hourglass was the more annoying version so I'm glad I played ST first, but I really loved A Link Between Worlds too so I think 2D Zelda games are still where it's at.

Is it edgy to dislike 3D Zelda games in this thread or something tho? I guess I can't say much because I've only played Wind Waker (outstanding) and Skyward Sword (decent but eh, enjoyable in some aspects at least) but I've played through about half of Ocarina of Time in the past and while it wasn't that enjoyable I hugely appreciated what it did for gaming. So I'm willing to defend it for that regardless.

Ooooh sis, you gotta get into the other 2D Zelda games ST is bottom 2 alongside PH. The Oracle games, Link's Awakening, and Minish Cap >>>>>>>>>

And yeah, it's edgy and not the common opinion. I think because Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were pretty derivative, they tarnished the 3D Zelda legacy a bit, but the vast majority of Nintendivas recognize OoT, MM, and WW as amazing games. And now it looks like BotW will shake things up and not be basique like TP/SS

Sorry what is this mess about Mario x Rabbids? Keep it.

The Switch is coming for blood ahhh Pokemon won again

The 3D Zelda hate is tragic

The only one I've played that didn't click instantly was Twilight Princess, I've barely touched it.

Majora's Mask is a masterpiece, I fail to see how it can be considered gimmicky when a literal Ocarina sequel wouldn't have brought anything new to the table. It kept the game so interesting the entire time.

Yeah it's retrospective since back in my GBA days I'd never even heard of Zelda. They're on my list but at the moment the 3D games hold my attention better, not to mention I'm a sucker for modern-day graphics. I'm playing the original TLoZ atm though so I'll get there.

I'm actually dying to play ALTtP but I only recently completed ALBW so I'm gonna wait a while because they're practically identical so I might lose interest fast.

"gimmicky" is hilarious because people seem to ignore the fact that that's primarily what modern Zelda games are built on.

Majora's Mask -> 72 hour cycle
Wind Waker -> Sailing
Phantom Hourglass -> Touch controls
Spirit Tracks -> Train driving
Skyward Sword -> Motion controls
A Link Between Worlds -> Merging
Breath of the Wild -> Runes

But no no, Majora's Mask was the problem in that, apparently.
It's weird because this is exactly how Nintendo keeps the series fresh and varied, at least they commit to a gimmick for a whole game and make it integral to the story.

Other than Link Between Worlds those are all among the worst of the franchise yeah.

And I wouldn't even call all of those gimmicks as much as they are game mechanics

[feelslikeadream]

You forgot Twilight Princess -> Wolf Link. (I don't blame you though.)

And having race time and reset a clock to complete tasks isn't a 'game mechanic'?
Don't get me wrong I've honestly never played Majora's Mask so I'm not defending it as a game but I'm not a fan of the double standard is all.

I still haven't played it alkfjs. I bought the HD version recently but I wanted to complete SS before playing it so I need to get this one over with first. It's a struggle.

I LOVED the feeling of being shook in MM when time was almost out If anything, I wish it lasted longer; once you get certain songs, you're never shook again.

Bt you can't even finish them so what do you know.

[Doogle]

I've barely touched A Link Between Worlds still since Christmas 2013 and I regret it because I finished MM in a month and I'm much further on Wind Waker.

I really struggle to connect as much with the 2D ones.. it's fun and puzzling but it lacks the atmosphere for me which is an important part of my enjoyment of Zelda games.

I have a huge amount of 2D Zelda games though, I'll get on playing and finishing some eventually.

[Jack. Bauer]

It's heart-breaking that Nintendo aren't making a Super Mario Galaxy 3 as far as we know. Given the success of the first two I honestly only assume they're not doing it because they lack confidence in their creativity but I have faith.

Given how the motion controls would be gone I'd so much rather have another Galaxy than a 3D World 2, or at least in that order. I need the orchestra, the gorgeous (now HD) visuals, the sheer fun of it.

I've never finished MM, TP, WW or SS because they failed to hold my interest. But I've played enough of them to have an opinion on it.

I've completed many of the other games tho such as MC, the Oracle games and LBW multiple times each. I even managed to complete Phantom Hourglass which is a test of endurance

this is what I wanna know

Nintendo HATES Mario RPG now

[BYoncé]

Nintendo really should make another set of Zelda games a la the Oracle series, totally different games based on action in one and puzzles in the other with the ability to connect and continue the journey in the opposite version.

[Flashback]

The only Zelda I've ever played is Phantom Hourglass nn, I do own a copy of A Link Between Worlds, Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD so I'll try to get around to playing those before BoTW

Pokemon Stars sounds interesting too
