Nintendo's been busting out Link Between Worlds in video ads for the 2DS XL I've been seeing on Twitter lately.

How much is it like DKCR mine cart levels? Do the stages dynamically change in a similar way or does the level design feel pretty basic

If it's anything like Runner 2, it will explore every permutation of jumping, sliding, blocking and kicking by its end. The levels don't typically explode so much as there will be moving ramps and obstacles. But the backgrounds are really nice and it feels right

Heck yea we do :shopkeeper:

Also Skyward Sword was one of the least fun gaming experiences I've had. There's probably good stuff in that game and I wanted to like it (it is gorgeous) but it was buried under a literal mountain of "Master, there is a 82.1% chance I'll repeat this message 15 times in the next 2 minutes" . The game will tell you about a puzzle, show you the puzzle, tell you how to solve the puzzle and then repeat how to solve the puzzle before you even get to try the puzzle. The game takes hand-holding to a new level and it felt like a never-ending tutorial. Also doesn't help that there's no overworld and you just go from level to level.

Yeah I will totally concede that the original Goht fight rocked, it was much much better, and the changes to it were a substantial misstep.

It's all made up for by the fact that I can easily win any archery game because of gyro aiming. I might actually play through OoT3D after already beating it on the Wii because of the gyro aiming. I just wish OoT3D had the C stick.

Majora’s Mask 3D lets you use the second stick for camera control if you’re on a New 3DS or have one of those CPP attachments.

Kirby if you plan on co-oping and want something more laid back. TF is fantastic and the better platformer but it is pretty tough.

I liked Skyward Sword and think it gets a bad rap. A remake would be sweet. The combat in that game was a lot of fun.

Not Operator posted:

Skyward Sword was good, and could have been great if they turned down Fi's advice. She's the most obnoxious of all the guide characters because she'll repeat things you just found out, and basically explain how to solve puzzles without you ever asking.

A remake with a hard mode where she provided minimal advice and direction would be cool.

Isn't there a fan hack that makes quality of life changes like turning down Fi and not being told what a rupee is every time you pick it up?

I wish Nintendo would make a good Four Swords Adventures sequel for the Switch. Playing that four player was one of the most fun times I've had with a Nintendo game.

TP gets much better around the mid game imo. It has my favorite set of dungeons of all 3D Zeldas.

TP's not lacking in good content, it just railroads you into a lot of dull stuff between the dungeons and better setpieces. You could probably flatout delete a lot of stuff from the game and get a better Zelda that's still on the longer end.

TP is the only console Zelda I've quit. Did the HD remake make the start of the game any quicker? I wish Nintendo would either start releasing the 3d Zeldas on the Switch or be really cool and give us a massive Zelda collection. I'll believe modern Nintendo would make an awesome game collection when I see it

Not immensely quicker but it did fix a lot of the smaller pacing issues.

I’d like to see a SS HD that does a similar thing. I love the motion controls and dungeons but I find the overworld to be a chore to navigate especially the stealth and tadtones stuff.:barf:

Yep, it's good but it's short and fairly easy. It has multiple endings and harder difficulties to unlock, so assuming you like the game and don't mind replaying it you'll definitely get your money's worth.
