there are no "classic" dungeons in the game, there are 4 divine beasts of which the elephant is one

they kinda replace the dungeons from the OG Zelda's

Yeah yeah, I kinda see it now! It's just a bigger shrine lol. Looks like Skyward Sword will be the game to enjoy as a real Zelda

Everyone loves OoT, but WW is my personal favorite. I went to every single island and got the treasure there. Wouldn't stop until I had that little red circle on ever square of my sea chart. Such an adventure.

x2. OoT was great but there was something special about WW. The music, atmosphere and general feeling of the game was great. I'm glad I got to experience WW as a kid rather than the new age open world games with no authenticity of real point. I just never beat it and was missing a few triforce shards

Any chance we see a Switch Pro this year? Wanting to get a switch for Mario Golf but don't like the idea of spending full price on a 4 year old console if there's an upgrade coming soon.

pro will probably release along side botw 2 if it exists since they are "targeting" 2022 I bet its November

So you can’t message your friends on switch? Someone added me, but no option to send them a message wtf is this?

who really knows at this point. it was hyped all year and "leaked" but look what happen. nothing when E3 came around. If you already waited this long I'd say just wait longer

Damn, that sucks. And ya I think I'll just wait. Nuts how there's not even a bundle or anything for games now. Just straight up $300 for the console like it was 4+ years ago lol.

Hellblade sends a cold shiver down my spine. Srs

I’ve not gone back to it for that reason.

Don't worry mane this is a Nintendo thread, a safe space from hellblade. Here we only worry about Ganon and Bowser

Such a shame that we don't have WW on the Switch this year, especially with it being the Zelda Anniversary.

RE: BOTW

I grew up playing NES. My favorite Zelda games were 1 and II. I especially love Link's Adventure even though most do not. Having said that, I think that the complaints against BOTW are unfounded. I love having a large world to explore. Are there some 'empty places' in the world? Of course, but that adds to the atmosphere. I think that there's plenty to do throughout the world. That was never a complaint from me. The shrines can be a bit tedious. I would say that they are the weakest point of the game, yet I still think that BOTW is one of the greatest Zelda games.

We can call the divine beasts shrines or dungeons, it does not matter. We could have started out calling the dungeons in the first Zelda games shrines and it would still work today. That's just semantics.

to me they don't feel like traditional Zelda dungeons, they're basically all built on a Water Temple-like gimmick (which is a dungeon that always felt out of place)

also the visual design of the beast (and shrines) is so bland and clinical, has no appeal or spirit

I do agree outside of this it's a beautiful and fun game, but the shrines and beast play too much of a role to look beside it

that's my opinion

[2010JW]

Please tell me each beast has their own unique music like the other Zelda dungeons?

I was hooked on this dungeon and the music. So mysterious and eerie

Initial reviews on Mario Golf aren't too stellar. Sounds very similar to the Tennis game, which I found disappointing. Not writing it off yet, but it's not a day 1 buy for me anymore. Gonna see what "real" people say. A 60 dollar game with Mario in it is supposed to be really good.

Just picked it up.

There’s a adventure part like tennis.

But there’s also straight golf, there’s a score attack section I’ll use later and a “speed run” one.

I played 18 holes already. It’s Mario golf. It was fun. I’ll play way more.

If you loved Mario golf this is great.

If you like golf games this is great.

Tennis was just overly unapproachable. It was complicated to even play a match just to play one.

This is not like that. If people are comparing it to tennis it’s cause of the adventure part (which probably will be trash) but there’s a core golf game here still.

I’ve only played Hellblade on Switch I don’t think I want to play it elsewhere!

Mario golf has gotten mostly positive reviews, a smaller percent of them are mixed. I don’t think one is negative yet. Either way can’t wait to play it this evening!!!

Mario life is like no other

[TokenV]

finished my first 18-holer with Mario, already made a hole-in-one >dasitmane

also played around 20 minutes of the story mode (meh..)

so can't really say much atm, seems like a solid Mario golf title though lol

aka fun to play with friends and not really for single player

how was mario tennis unapproachable? its the easiest party game i can get ppl into when i throw a party..u can just set the settings to simple so all the characters don't have their crazy powerups but good to hear about Mario Golf gonna pick it up

That was part of my problem with tennis.

The default was crazy everything with the racket breaking meter and timing and the way characters hit was dramatically different IMHO.

The only real single player was playing multi and setting the 2nd player to CPU. could have had like a grand slam cup or SOMETHING.

Golf I just picked up and played. I can learn and fine tune. That’s easily approachable.

Plus there are single player modes. Score attack at the end of the day is all that’s needed for flipping golf. Lol

To me there is zero way you can enjoy tennis and hate the golf one (unless you never liked golf but then why buy).

However, I can see someone hating tennis and liking golf.

[JRMoore82]

It’s all good.

And I’m not trying to **** on anyone who liked tennis and got anything out of it. Srs

Kinda jealous. Lol. I got two days from it and was **** it

Any thoughts on Hori controllers?

Or just get the official Nintendo switch pro controller?

I’m thinking a horipad to finally buckle down and complete botw.

[Deathstroke]

Metroid dread is the 2021 goty. It’s going to be a very good high quality game and I am going to play the hell out of it.

Shin megumi tensei v? I never played the first 4? But it may be goty for other people.

Switch Pro Controller is 10/10 srs

I played BOTW on Joycons, but the Pro Controller is the better option imo

That's the true controller for the Nintendo Switch, Joycons are too faulty

I own both. Pro is better for BOTW.

Hori really is great for fighters but the switch hori kinda bunk

[OT2000]

Games to pick up soon: Skyward Sword, Metroid Dread and TMNT Shredders revenge hnnnggggg

2022 looks jooocey hoping MP4, BOTW2 land.

[TokenV]

all the Switch Pro talk can stop now, they just announced this



basically a better screen, better audio and some QOL improvements but nothing fundamentally different

tree fiddy $ (srs lol)

I'll just stick with my launch model, never play in handheld anyway (ergonomics are crap af cuz)

[ohiostate124]

Just lol

Go sh*t in your hat Mario!
