Internet Kraken posted:I'm not in the business of comparing two extremely different games to find which one is "better", but BotW impresses me more because it took a franchise that was really limping along and revitalized it. 3D World might not have been that great but Mario has never really fallen to the low point Zelda was at. What are you talking about? Famous gaming magazine Famitsu awarded The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword a perfect 40 out of 40 score.

It's cool that BotW and Odyssey took completely different paths to get where they are but both games are hugely successful reinventions of their respective series. E: the Switch owns

I actually think Skyward Sword isn't even a bad game. It has a lot of good ideas in it and I'd rate it over Twilight Princess easily, so its not even the worst modern Zelda. It just sold like trash and made Nintendo realize they really needed to reinvent the series to get it to sell well again.

I'm the insane person who likes Twilight Princess (HD) a lot, thought it did 'Zelda Weird' better than any of the games since Majora

If you start counting the RPGs then the level for weirdness goes through the roof. Like the part in Super Paper Mario that puts Peach into a dating sim with an otaku lizard.Lobster Harmonica posted:Weirdly enough it had a really similar wedding scene in it.

I used my joycons today for the first time since buying the switch on release day and turns out the left one has that awful, awful lag problem. That’s not a thing that’s fixed by getting new joycons right? I have to send my entire unit to Nintendo right?

When I reboot the Switch sometimes the remotes seem to fix themselves. But mainly I think there's something interfering with it *However yea the Switch Joy-Cons at launch were poo poo unless you live in a shoebox, and the warranty would be gone by now. But you can still ask if you can send them in for free repair because you're just opening them as if they're brand new and they should work Spellman fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Nov 3, 2017 |

Idk I like this new trend of subtly poking fun at completionists (like Nier letting you buy achievements lol) Anyways the capture mechanic is so good. Anyone else think it is implemented extremely similarly to Wario's "powers"/afflictions in Wario Land 3? I can see why people were afraid of the mechanic "taking over" the game but, just like in WL3, you're still relying on your main moveset most of the time and the alterations are for specifically designed (and very fun) areas or obstacles

This world is annoying. The last thing I wanted to do was to have a boss rush of the Broodles, and with anti-gravity to make jumping on their heads a pain in the rear end. Are there actually some like... good worlds that unlock post game or edit: besides the cool freebie one after beating the game

Since they have enough resources to make a dense game, they don't need to pad it out by having you go any serious distance to get your change-of-playstyle.

uPen posted:You unlock a fun platforming stage at 600 or so. Hell yes can't wait for that then. They REALLY need to consider looking into expanding the Bowser segment because that poo poo was tons of fun and I'd love a full game based around that moveset and character. It's about time we get a Bowser game anyway. It's been long enough Nintendo!!! edit: How the gently caress do you get the moon in the hat kingdom high over the house? The Paragoombas don't go high enough. The frogs just barely don't reach it and even leaping out for a little bit of extra height, it's still too high. Are you supposed to leap from the pole in the neighboring house, and jump out of the frog and do a fancy jump to get to it? Because I've tried that I just can't seem to get it Macaluso fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Nov 3, 2017 |

I hated the Broodals up until postgame when I realized that their design actually does make sense in the Mario setting. Before that they just reminded me of Rabbids.
