Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

[ForgedBlades]

All of the 3D Zeldas range from shit to just okay. Most of the 2D games are godly. Link's Awakening is one of the top ten games ever made. The Oracle games are fucking masterpieces. Link Between Worlds was one of the best games of its era. These are facts.

I finally got around to trying BOTW a couple months ago and gave up after about ten hours. I enjoyed the shrines, but couldn't get past the tedium of gathering, crafting, limited inventory space, and weapons breaking after killing two enemies. Shit game. Zoomer Minecraft trash.

It’s weird to me that we’re back to this Twilight Princess hate, because it seems to be the only classic-style game that escaped the “Zelda Cycle”.

There's just something about it that never clicked with me and I couldn't even tell you why exactly, but while the 2004 trailer was cool, in a heartbeat I would replace Twilight Princess with a Gamecube direct sequel to Wind Waker, I'm still very salty we never got that, the Nintendo DS's 3D just did not do that artstyle justice.

Seriously, what a fucking cop out on Breath of the Wild 2. I'd rather they not saying *anything* than claim they have nothing to show us a year and a half later.

What the fuck could possibly be the hold up? You have the engine, the physics. The claim was BOTW2 was going to be using DLC ideas for the first one...

To some degree this is good because I want BOTW2 to have an all new map, not just reusing the same map like what was being rumored, but the waiting still sucks.

Gamecube/Wii Zelda in general were all chores IMO.

Sailing was fucking boring.
Twilight Princess was fucking lifeless and the wolf sections were lame.

Never played Skyward Sword because everyone told me it was a super linear, boring mess.

For all the shit people gave BOTW for not being a "true" Zelda, it was the first time since Majoras Mask that I felt Zelda went someplace I always imagined it would as a kid.

Sailing could get boring at times sure but for the most part I fucking loved discovering the islands and WW in general just had loads and loads of charm, it's one of my all time favorite games.

It is extra funny because WW was great and Zelda's combat was never as good as WW ever again.

It's so fucking good, I still don't understand why it took so long for people to come around to it.

I kill Dr. Doak every time.

I just wanted some good first person shooters whether they be old or new.

It's a good day to be a PS1 JRPG fan! SaGa Frontier and Legend of Mana were probably the high points of that conference for me. Octopath Triangle Titty Tactics the Third seems cool but somebody I talk to says it's a three houses clone because it has 3 paths and it's a strategy rpg.

Octopath wasn't fun to me, and I didn't find the story that interesting. That said I don't think I'm much of a JRPG guy anymore.

Every place in BotW Hyrule looked and felt like a carefully crafted set piece in a smaller game. If they met a happy medium with dungeons, making them bigger than the shrines but not quite as big as classic Zelda, with more varied design, it could go a lot further than what we got.

What Nintendo needs to do, above all else, is hire some fucking writers for some damn side quests.

This may be a controversial oppinion, but the closest game that I've played that has fulfilled the promise that BOTW was supposed to give me is Red Dead Redemption 2. Nearly everything that people hyped up BOTW for I got from RDR2 (except dungeons of course). The biggest being that it actually gave me a world that I wanted to explore. One that had interesting characters, entertaining stories, and combat that was actually fun even if it was pew pew shit.

Wait! That was a Square Enix game?! It was so shitty and generic I assumed it was the new fire emblem and didn't pay attention!

This is a very unpopular opinion, but; drop the voice acting, drop the timeline. All it did was draw attention to the fact that what little story there was was subpar. (Also change the Rito to be more like WW, but that is even less realistic).

Frankly, the only time writing in Zelda wowed me was at the end of WW.

 

[X Pac Heat]

@X Pac Heat You disagreed with me our friendship is over.

I only disagree because Forsaken Fortress wasn't okay. They were all bad. Stealth isn't needed in Zelda, or at least not forced stealth.

To some degree this is good because I want BOTW2 to have an all new map, not just reusing the same map like what was being rumored, but the waiting still sucks.

If it has a whole new map, and not just an "underground" I'd be more understanding.

I have no faith in Nintendo doing that though.

 

[mrs thickness]

That square enix trpg and mario golf look okay, SaGa and Mana are cool, and it's nice to hear about NMH3, but what a fucking waste of time, jesus. Can't believe we got Prease Understanded again on BOTW2. They didn't even port Ninja Gaiden Black over sigma, and still no info about SMTV. Really weird that there wasn't anything about Fire Emblem either, just a generally weak as shit presentation considering how long it was, and how long ago the last direct was. My switch is just a picross and retroarch machine at this point, it's fuckin embarrassing.

 

[NerdShamer]

Maybe I'm just too old for this video game shit anymore. I remember in 2018 I thought Switch was going to have so much potential but all it's been is a fucking port and anime waifu dump.

I'm literally bored with *everything* at this point. I don't like cinematic garbage, but I'm sick of Monster Hunter, Xenoblade and Squarenix shit too.

I'm just waiting for something that's actually new to come out, but that'll never happen because everyone is willing to buy a port of something that's a few years old...Or rub a few out to anime crap.

 

[Titos]

Sigma versions of NG is Tecmos way of slapping people in the face. I honestly hope Itagaki does a Tim Mcveigh and bombs them for the atrocity that is the Sigma versions. Afterwards he will gladly slurp up some retarded pasta because he decided to live in Italy for some reason. God bless oatmeal cookie man.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

I’m glad Miitopia got a port. That game was a fun casual rpg, fun to fuck around with the cast like you can.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Oh look more Anime Sword people for Smash

I for one am not salty about a big boobied anime lady being added to Smash.

Every place in BotW Hyrule looked and felt like a carefully crafted set piece in a smaller game. If they met a happy medium with dungeons, making them bigger than the shrines but not quite as big as classic Zelda, with more varied design, it could go a lot further than what we got.

It still blows my mind just how huge but also how finely crafted Hyrule was in BOTW with no copy paste, I mean what an impressive achievement.

The downside though was the dungeons were total afterthoughts though, it's true.

I never finished Skyward Sword so I'm fine with it

I'm more excited about Famicom Detective Club because omfg finally thr damn Japanese schoolgirl trophy from Melee finally gets her due

Almost 20 years later too, isn't that crazy?

Man, how does it feel to be so wrong?

The story in BOTW was definitely disappointingly thin, lacking the twists and turns of a story like OOT's.

I'm of the mind that BOTW is close to the greatest game ever made, I mean that, if only the dungeons were better, the story was deeper and the combat a little more polished I honestly think it would be the greatest game ever made.

But while it's flawed it's still really fucking great.

BotW was magic on the first playthrough and a half. Master Mode added a little bit of fresh air for the start, but I’ve never been able to just come back to the game every year or so like I do it’s predecessors. They really should reign in the open world a bit for the next one and make a more crafted experience.

I didn't watch this shitshow, but from reading the comments I gather it didn't go swimmingly?

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

Obviously late to the party since I’m catching up to some Nintendo Switch news, but I just want to say that it’s about time Nintendo started making Splatoon 3.

Personally, I found the second Splatoon game to be a blast. I wonder what the story is going to be like for the third installment.

TLDR anime sword user for Smash. 2 million re-releases of old games. Maybe 3 new game announcements. Nothing regarding the actual hyped up nintendo shit (Metroid Prime 4, Zelda BOTW 2)

Even giving COVID credit, this thing sucked.

I think when comparing BOTW to other 3D Zelda games, it's comparing apples to oranges. I remember my first hour with BOTW is "yeah there's something here, but I wish it didn't have a Zelda skin". It then "clicked" with me after a while, and I had fun. But I missed the narrative, the characters and most of all I missed the music.

Firstly, ANOTHER ANIME SWORDS(WO)MAN FOR SMASH
I can just feel the salty tears pouring down on Smash-fags' keyboards right now.....

Second, HO-LEE SHIT was that Direct trash. Sure, I wasn't expecting BOTW2 or MP4 news, but I was hoping for at least the MP Trilogy to be remastered and the WW port to be brought over from the Wii U. WTF did we get? No MP Trilogy, and a port of objectively the worst 3D Zelda. Terrific, Nintendo. Juuuuust terrific

The rest of the games (aside from Mario Golf, and even then, there's a big asterisk next to it for the already-established fear of them phoning it in like they did the last two Mario Sports games they did) weren't much better.

I didn't watch this shitshow, but from reading the comments I gather it didn't go swimmingly?

-Another Titty Anime Xenoblade Character for Smash
-Bunch of old 3rd party ports
-Remake of some Japanese only detective games
-"Prease Undelstand we have no BOTW2 news, here's Skyward Sword instead. It has a grider and staminar gauge just like BOTW prease buy it"
-Octopath Traveler but it's 3 stories and a tactics game coming out in 2 years
-Splatoon 3
-Mario Golf
-No More Heroes 3

That was about it, not in order btw. Someone can fill in the blanks I'm forgetting.
