I’m just speaking from experience using n64 emulators on Android, but they’re pretty damn good. Some texture and specific game loading issues aside, I was impressed.

There’s the EA we know and love.

Besides the flooding part of Act 2, that was the one zone I memorized the quickest paths to!

I had a similar difficulty getting into BotW initially for those reasons, but peeling back the games layers, small touches and the value (and risk/reward) of exploration has made it stupidly addicting for me. My ‘aha’ moment came from using an amiibo to spawn a metal chest next to an explosive barrel at a bokoblin…

It’s hard to re-frame your mindset after playing BoTW. Those two games are really apples-to-oranges, but tastes are so different. I had a friend trade in BoTW after failing to get into it after playing through Horizon. To each their own.

Couldn’t agree more. Still my favorite 3d Zelda, but not a great way to showcase your new system. At least patching will remedy some of this.

My scratch-and-sniff cards still hold their magic 22 years later.

Reading this even makes Gamestop seem like a decent place to work comparatively.

Oh man, missed opportunity for sure...

That animation is...

Unfortunate thing is Japanese folks tend to be smaller/have smaller hands which might impact the design choices. If I remember correctly, the original xbox had the S model controllers created for those with smaller hands. Maybe we’ll get a Switch XL someday...

Was that an issue when using the Mew glitch to try and upload to the recent Bank/Transporter update?

Working at Gamestop, everyone, including most staff thought it was an add-on for the Wii...

Agreed. I think I personally need to be in the mood for it. First world problem for this guy...

I respect the hell out of the timer, but I might be one in the minority who doesn’t always enjoy it. That level of pressure takes away from my fundamental need to explore every nook and cranny, and maybe that’s a side effect of playing so many collect-a-thons in the late 90's...

Don’t forget the Gameboy and DS lines. OG DS is still the #2 top selling system of all time if I’m not mistaken.

And that is what makes them exciting, for better or worse.

I thought the exact same thing. Let it go buddy...

If. He. Shoots. You. It’s. Gon-na. Hurt.

This one especially. I felt burned at launch, stopped playing after a few weeks, picked up the complete version this holiday, and was much more pleased. That initial launch could have been so much better and retained more long-term players if it had been more complete or half the cost.
