Holy shit, Nintendo.

Nintendo Never actually promised anything though lol. Rumours started spreading and “insiders” had supposed info that promised a bunch of shit but there was never anything said by Nintendo themselves. There’s no real reason to be disappointed by Nintendo here.

Fine. Then I'll stay disappointed that 3 year old games are still 60 bucks.

If only you kept your original, hackable switch you had. Then we could be sailing the seven seas together laughing at Nintendo and their prices.

Your disappointment is something that will shame me forever.

Been playing Skyward Sword HD for an hour or so now. The little QOL changes are nice. Speeds up the intro. Using the right stick for the sword takes a little getting used to but it’s still far better than motion controls on the wii. Pro controller works in docked mode too!

I'm excited to try it out. I hated the motion controls with a passion in the original. I'm still not thrilled about the right stick but I know they'd have to overhaul the entire game's combat to make it feel like regular Zelda combat. I just think that every enemy being invincible unless you hit them in the perfect way is not a great gameplay design choice.

Been playing through Mario 3D All Stars with the goal to 100% every game.  I've so far 100% Mario 64.  I got 120 Stars in Mario Galaxy and have unlocked Luigi.  And I'm currently at about 60 stars in Mario Sunshine.  After I finish Sunshine, I will go back to my Galaxy file and beat it again as Luigi and finally get the final bonus galaxy that I've never played because even in my first playthru on the Wii back in the day I never bothered to do it all again as Luigi.

I've never 100% Sunshine either, in fact, prior to this playthru, I never actually beat Sunshine entirely on my own, it was me and my buddy trading turns on his GameCube, and he definitely played some when I wasn't around.  Getting all the Stars in Mario 64 though is something I've done a handful of times, so getting that done there was really no big deal, but still it feels good working toward this goal.

Still though, it's so frustrating, in any given play session of 3D All-Stars the same thought inevitably pops up: "Why the hell isn't Galaxy 2 on here?"  It's such a Nintendo move to not include a title like that, but it's all the more frustrating when you recognize how beautifully it would have echoed the original Mario All-Stars, where Mario 1 and Lost Levels (Japan's 2) are Mario games made in the same engine, while 2 and 3 are separate sequels in different style entirely, giving the original version of Mario All-Stars a total of 4 games to play. Had 3D All-Stars included Galaxy 2, it would have had a total of 4 games to play, and instead of the first 2 titles being built in the same engine, it'd be the last 2 titles, practically bookending the 2 All-Stars collections.  God Nintendo can be so frustrating when they blatantly don't do something that they so easily could and should have.

I think you’re getting pretty close to the end. I hated those invisible pathway sections, such bullshit. 

i think next week I will have beaten it. but my buddy wants me to do the dlc and I'm not sure if I will.

Finished Age of Calamity’s story. Fun game! Throughout the game I kept thinking “wtf this makes no sense as a prequel to Breath of the Wild.” After finishing it… [endgame spoilers incoming]

 

Spoiler

LOL yeah, it’s not a real prequel. It’s an alternate timeline where you prevent the events of Breath of the Wild from happening. Sure, why not make the Zelda timeline even more confusing with more branching paths? Haha. I’m surprised this wasn’t spoiled for me considering how long after it came out I finally played it. A little disappointed but it still gets me hyped to play BoTW again.

Probably gonna keep messing around in it to unlock some more stuff, but I’m mostly satisfied. That was fun!

I had it spoiled for me and i pretty much dropped it right away. I was only interested in it for the story and then it wasn’t even a proper prequel.

yeah, what an odd choice. did they think they had to give the game a happy ending? because I'm pretty sure everyone went into it expecting tragedy.

Yeah I feel like that is exactly the reason, which absolutely sucks. 
 

In other Zelda news, skyward sword is immensely more enjoyable this time around.
