[CatsCatsCats]

Holy shit dat 60 fps 3D, sounds so good with headphones, yes please

[Sho Nuff]

All this next gen garbage has made me go full Nintard. I'm playing Mario Galaxy for the first time and kicking myself for skipping it when it first came out. I'm fuckin Bee Mario bitches

The best part is THERE'S A FUCKIN' SEQUEL TOO AND APPARENTLY IT'S JUST AS GOOD

fixed

Galaxy is so fucking good.  Galaxy 2 took it to another level and left out all the talky stupid story parts.

[Sho Nuff]

There's more interesting/imaginative stuff in the first five levels of this game than the entirety of the next gen launch lineup

You should be doing more than kicking yourself. SMG/2 are perfect.

You mean all the completely optional, easily-missed story parts?

[chronovore]

Wait, Mario games have a story?

[Joe Molotov]

lol @ the dark world being "Lorule"

Princess Hilda, tho

[magus]

Wait, Mario games have a story?

i think he's talking about this



i never understood what's the big deal other than nthing have a thing against cutscene and talky stuff because they are something associated with modern gaming (not saying ruzbeh is a nthing otherwise he wouldn't have said mario galaxy 2 is a boring expansion pack like follow up in the first place )

[MCD]

That story was fucking gay as fuck.

I can't stand modern Nintendo, basically. Miyamoto-sama already contributed enough to Nintendo's output in the 80s and 90s that it's okay he kind of sucks now. The trouble is that we don't have a successor. I know some names, including the kisama who was responsible for the story video above but they're all terrible IMO.

[Trent Dole]

I'm gonna have to buy a 3DS, hopefully I can find a good holiday sale.

XL's $150 this Friday at Target I think.

[Joe Molotov]

Beat the Dark Palace and the Skull Palace and got the badass red Master Sword.

You mean Koizumi? Koizumi IS the successor for Mario, and he's a damn excellent one at that.

[Tasty]

The SMG games were overrated TBH.

Someone's gone all hipster.

[Great Rumbler]

Nintendo actually releasing legit good games is like a twisting knife. Just when I think I can finally, safely extricate myself from them, they pull something like this and they reeeeeel me back.

[Lucretius]

This gives me hope for a good Wii U Zelda.  I finally finished Skyward Sword the day LBW came out.  Fuck motion controls.  Going from Skyward Sword straight into Link Between Worlds is like getting out of an old beat up Kia and into a new sleek BMW.

[bork]

Yeah, don't get sucked into this and waste money on a Wii U.  3DS is more than enough to scratch that Ninty itch.

[Himu]

SMG GAME OF THE GENERATION.

[TakingBackSunday]

this game keeps getting better and better.  It is every bit a worthwhile sequel to ALttP, but with NONE of the fatigue of that game.  Game is fucking wonderful.

[bork]

The only negative for me was grinding for rupees to buy everything from the shop.  Felt tedious but went quick enough.

[Lucretius]

I just finished it.
What a great fucking game.  I could not stop playing.  The pace is great.  As BrandNew said there's no fatigue.  Definitely a worthy successor to LttP.

[Phoenix Dark]

Played a bit on my cousin's 3DS. Better than LTTP, which isn't saying much. But yes it's good.

[Trent Dole]

Better than LTTP, which isn't saying much.

[TakingBackSunday]

Nah he's right.  LttP has aged horribly.  For anyone who picked the game up after ocarina and the oracle games, it's pretty meh.  This game is better than LttP, the oracle games, and quite possibly ocarina as well

[Tasty]

I'm not sure I can take a person's opinion seriously after they say "Link to the Past has aged horribly."

of this thread and crash it into a canyon

[Himu]

I am shaking my head so hard.

[demi]

BrandNew on that nintendo high...... prolly warming up the fuckpuppet.

[Trent Dole]

I wouldn't say it's better than Ocarina. 3D Zelda > 2D Zelda for me but I would say I put it over Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword and Wind Waker(and I love those three Zelda games). It's the best 2D one by a long shot IMO.

LTTP is almost as overrated as FF6, almost.

Hey man, the PSX FFs are the overrated ones.

FFVII, by virtue of practically everyone on the internet classifying it as overrated, is now no longer overrated. FFVIII is hated by 3/4's of the gaming community, and thus is not overrated. FFIX, undersold and was considered inferior to FFVII and VIII by virtue of its character design upon reveal, and post-release. For many, it's still a laughing stock, so it can't possibly be overrated.

The true most overrated FF is IV.

go flick yer ladyboner, himu

Lick it, Demi-chan.

I want you blow air on it. And then gargle it in your mouth, and make your teeth white with it.

yeah, this poops straight into lttp's mouf

[Lucretius]

I'm going back and trying to find all the maiamai babies and the heart pieces now.
This is definitely my GOTY and probably my favorite Zelda ever.

[Trent Dole]

But that's the first one I played and loved so it's my favorite. But yeah playing the GBA port I went 'wow this world is way smaller than I remembered it being!' It was mind blowing and awesome at the time...

[radioheadrule83]

I'm not paid until Thursday, and the fact that even cynical posters are praising it is making my balls bluer than Earth viewed from Space

regarding 3DS Vs Wii U, I'd much rather they brought more of their A-game to Wii U. If both were as well provided for, there's no way I'd recommend a 3DS over a Wii U. Imagine this in a decent resolution on your TV! Sadly, I'd agree that all their good shit has been on 3DS (until 3D World anyway)

[Positive Touch]

LTTP is almost as overrated as FF6, almost.

[Your Stalker]

ff6 was actually good though, just a bit overrated on the internet

[demi]

I like the tune that plays when you fight Yuga - feels all epic and shit.

[Lucretius]

as awesome as it would be to see this game in 1080p on Wii U, it really does need to be in 3D.  It's the only 3DS game I've played all the way through with the 3D turned all the way up.  The 60 fps makes it look super slick.  Also most of the dungeons really do have a verticality to them that benefits from 3D.  I don't know if 3D is necessary for them but playing this game in 2D would be like playing it in B&W.

[TakingBackSunday]

I don't want this game to end 

[Bebpo]

Saw a negative review that basically said since you can easily afford all the items early on, but since dungeons have to take into consideration that you may only have that "one" item required for the dungeon, that unlike past Zelda games where good dungeons would incorporate puzzles that made use of all the items you'd gained so far, that the dungeons are pretty simple in this one and all designed around a single item.  That the game is pretty simple from start to finish.

Any truth to that?

[TakingBackSunday]

Eh, I don't think that's necessarily the case.  Thing is, a lot of the items can accomplish the same thing – just how you use them.  So for instance, I could use the arrow to stun enemies, hit some switches, etc...or, I could throw some bombs to island platforms where the switch is, and stun enemies that need stunned with the hammer.  The dungeons and puzzles are way more like LttP than any of the recent games' dungeons.

[CatsCatsCats]

I will admit my strategy has been to rent them all, buy them as I can afford. Dunno about the necessity of multiple items, on my first dungeon in the dark world still. The puzzles are intricate enough to be interesting, even if dungeon revolve around one item.

[TakingBackSunday]

Yeah I rented all of the items upfront.  Risky but if your a seasoned Zelda player you should have no problems.  I did die on one boss several times but luckily I had bought the item that I needed for him before I fought him...but honestly now that I think about it I could've beaten him without that item.

If you die and lose all the items, its not a big deal.  At that point you should have a fuckton of rupees to just go re-rent all of them again.

[TakingBackSunday]

But you really shouldn't die.  This game makes players really need to prepare for dungeons and bosses by stocking up on fairies.  If you don't do that and you bitch and moan about dying and losing your items...

 

[fistfulofmetal]

bought this. played the first dungeon thing. it seems to be zelda i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[CatsCatsCats]

All you gotta do is save often, and quit if you die.

[Phoenix Dark]

Is there a hard mode or something, like limiting you to 3 hearts?

[CatsCatsCats]

There's hero mode after you beat it, enemies do way more damage

[cool breeze]

I love how brisk this game is compared to other zelda games.  Not Ys fast, but it's the other end of the spectrum from skyward sword.

And the streetpass (swap pass?) shadow link thing sounds like it would be really cool if it worked over the internet 

[TakingBackSunday]

I just love that you can go from one dungeon to the next, and then to the NEXT one without having to go through a standard "arrive at area, observe conflict, backtrack to previous area, acquire an item, go back to first area, talk to NPCs, use item for something, DUNGEON TIME."  That shit in TP/SS takes like a fucking hour.  In ALBW I can beat a dungeon then immediately go to another one within 5 minutes 

This game is just fucking tight.  I'd say my only complaint, really, is that I wish it was a longer  :'(  I wanted like ten more dungeons!

[bachikarn]

The game just lectured me for playing too much and told me to take a break.

[radioheadrule83]

There should be an option to turn that shit off... a sort of health-warning disclaimer that you can agree to as a one-off. Something like

'In changing this setting, you agree that Nintendo Co. Ltd and its subsidiaries have no liability for any vision impairment, muscle spasms, muscle atrophy or increased likelihood of eyeball AIDS and heart failure that you may experience through long periods of uninterrupted gameplay.

AGREE  |  DECLINE'



My bank, after forcing me to lower my overdraft, have increased my credit card limit. Arseholes obviously want me spending money-I-don't-have where it profits them most... having said that. It means I *could* get Zelda today. And that worries me.

[Lucretius]

I was talking with ferricide about what we think Nintendo should do with this game engine.  He would like a remake of Link's Awakening.  I'd thought it would be cool to do a whole game in Lorule where you …
******MAJOR ENDGAME SPOILER******

spoiler (click to show/hide)

play as Ravio.

[close]

The obvious thing though is a third Tingle game!  But since we never got an English version of Balloon Trip of Love (and never even got Rosy Rupeeland in the US), I'm not holding my breath.

[demi]

I'd prefer a whole new game. a remake will simply cause tons of BrandNews to argue amongs themselves which is better. Majoras Mask 3D instead please.

[Lucretius]

yeah, I oppose a remake.  Also oppose a remake of Majora until after we get a new proper console Zelda.
