I just hope it happens. That’s the one Zelda game I’ve never played at all.

At a guess, to try and discourage just this kind of thing. I imagine someone at Disney wanted to be sure players wouldn’t be banging official NPCs before signing off on this expansion.

Absolutely. I’m right-handed, so I’m used to having game worlds that mirror my handedness, but I totally understand how things like that matter to people.

That’s, uh, not the point.

That’s why I never finished Twilight Princess - the actual combat was fun, but my arm got tired cutting grass to top off my lantern oil and bag some rupees and I just threw in the towel then and there.

It’s not like this issue hasn’t existed since the dawn of PC gaming, and high-end titles look great on bleeding edge systems while still running on lower-end ones.

At the end of the day, confused parents or grandparents will probably be asking the salesperson at Best Buy or Walmart or whatever and get steered to this model.

I mean, the unfriendly Xbox fans didn’t call people ‘peasants’ in this conversation, so they’ve got that going for them.

The 3DS version of Majora is so much better than the N64 original. I know Heather wasn’t a big fan of it letting you save anywhere because of how it affected the theme of the game, but I loved how it better respected players’ time. Plus, getting the Slow/Fast Time songs sooner and adding the Bomber Notebook were

Yeah, he was just such a letdown because the rest of the game is so good about taking the right amount of time to ‘test’ how well you’ve learned its lessons, and here it just kept going, long past the point where I felt like I’d shown I knew what to do.

I mean, they could have literally just animated the wheels spinning forward and back and it would have looked so much better than nothing.

3D World is also coming to Switch, albeit on its own and in February.

A: This is awesome. I will happily buy this Day One, particularly since I never had a Wii or WiiU.

Celeste is one of the most perfect games I’ve ever played. Scrupulously fair, heartfelt and touching, and with a near-perfect difficulty curve that means you’re always being asked to do things that are just barely within your abilities. The only gripe I have about it is the ‘boss’ of the hotel level, and only because

Sadly, I think it’s safe to assume that if they didn’t bother to animate the wheels on her wheelchair, they’re not planning for her to be anything but window dressing.

Bug, or hidden feature?

To be serious for a second, I’d play the heck out of an Overlord 3.

The face is pretty bad, but I really just wanted to talk about the cape.

I was prepared to crap on the design after Todd McFarlane, the friggin’ MASTER of absurd capes downsized Batman’s cape, but he’s right - it does look a lot better from behind curved in on itself - the Arkham games are fantastic, but Batman’s cape gets pretty boring to stare at for an entire game. Of course, this

If it’s available on a physical medium, I generally prefer it. This is especially true if it’s the kind of game I expect to love and want to return to, or that I think I’d like to share with friends or family - it’s the same reason I prefer my book to be made of paper. Then again, I also prefer my movies/shows on
