“Bayonetta" does something similar with her butterfly wings. Nice detail. 

When I think "jumps", I think "double-jumps". And when I think "double-jumps", I automatically think "Castlevania". There's no way around it, "Castlevania" is the godfather of double-jumps.

Well, it depends on your taste, I guess. “Breath of the Wild” was already mentioned, but hell yes, freakin’ “Breath of the Wild”. Still possible you won’t like it, but you still have to play it, to know that.

I really appreciate that you took your time to write this advices.

Something like “Punch-Out” is exactly the kind of game in Nintendos library, they should release in the form of smaller, possibly download-only-titles, like inhouse-indies. There probably isn’t the market to make a 60 bucks-triple-A-effort out of such premises, but they could totally work as 20 dollar games or even…

Thank you! Yeah, never thought about the 4 player thing, when all the kids are old enough. Good thing that I’m a Nintendo-fan and they’re always a beacon for couch-Multiplayer. :) 

Thanks! You wrote down my thoughts, exactly. Sadly, photorealistic graphics can be better advertised than mechanics and somehow they still seem to impress people much more.

I second your second paragraph. (the first one, too) But in March a third child will be added to all the chaos. So, welllll...

I’m normally pretty realistic and hard to hype about upcoming game releases. That said, I’m pretty confident “Breath of the Wild 2" will come out in 2021 and I’m equally hyped about it.

Your reply reads a little bit as if you want to find something you can argue about, like a pre-loaded “Hey, this list is SUB.JEC.TIVE. Please don’t say anything about it.”-comment. Especially the last sentence. But that’s the thing with written text, so I’ll go with it and answer your questions.

Just checked Metacritic for reference and you seem right.

For clarification: I didn’t write that to state any form of opinion towards “Valhalla”. I haven’t played it.

And I don’t mean “divisive” between “It’s the new ‘Ocarina of Time’!” and “Worse than ‘Ride to Hell: Retribution’.”, but “One of the best ACs.” and “A…

Seems like a good list. I’m somewhat surprised to find ”Spiritfarer” and “Paper Mario” on it, since both games didn’t get much coverage on Kotaku (or I simply missed it).

My resolutions involve getting a decent PC, BEFORE I get a PS5 (Shouldn’t be hard. I’ve heard PCs are, indeed, available somewhere.) to finally start designing my own game and do other funny stuff, like capturing and editing videos and so on.

Of course, I also want to use it to get back into PC gaming, because I’m…

I get why people think that. It has some pretty noticeable flaws (more linear and less “Metroidvania”, dumb sidequests and an insane amount of collectibles, many useless skills, combat feels weaker than before, the story is dumb) and on paper it might be the weakest, but somehow I really really liked it, even more…

Thanks for the advice. I will do so. :) 

“Terranigma” is probably the number one game on my bucket-list and maybe I’ll jump on once I have a decent PC to emulate it properly.

Right now, I just have a Switch Lite, so it’s a little easier to make a choice, which game to tackle first.

So, 25 years after release, I WILL finally play through and 100% “Donkey Kong Country 2". Problem is, I also bought “Tropical Freeze” recently. And although I have finished that already on the Wii U, I can’t put…

Nice to know. I want a Mini Console version of that. I want a Mini Console version of pretty much every system ever released. But, I think, sadly this trend is over.

Thank you. I hope your day fared better then. :) 

I find this pretty cool, even though fighting games mostly play like crap on the Switch, be it with the JoyCons or the Pro Controller. Both options border on “totally unplayable”. The D-pad of the Switch Lite is serviceable, but far from the precision the GBA or SNES offered me.
