Sooner or later they should get around to making more HD versions of their Gamecube library.
I had a dream the other week that it was called "Exhale of the Wild."
I really hope you're right.
Random talk, sort off. I'm working on my newly created backlog; still need to continue Dark Souls (Four Kings beaten!) and on PS4 I'm pretty deep into Horizon Zero Dawn. And with that game... I have a new found respect for Breath of the Wild.
Don't get me wrong, HZD is a good game. The art direction, the fantastic design of the metal animals is top notch. If you told me that creators of Killzone would make this game back in the early 2010's I wouldn't have believed you. Plays well too. But the exploration feels dated. In the sense, BoTW ruined it for me.
See that mountain Aloy? You can't go there. There are restrictions in this game and normally that wouldn't bug me a lot, but Breath of the Wild's idea of climbing everything just worked and wasn't a vapid promiss. Going back to semi-invisible walls, restrictions in to what you climb and other limitations did impact my enjoyment for a bit. Still a fun game. Except for the weird static faces and body language which is absolutely annoying. Aloy's face looks to be in constant derp mode.

Not sure about NLG.
MS has 2 production teams, one for Zelda and one for Xenoblade. It is widely assumed that they're assisting Nintendo for Breath of the Wild 2, this time with a bigger role perhaps. MS's core group is making a new RPG, presumably a new entry in the Xenoblade series—it entered full-scale development in August 2018. It is expected to be announced later this year or perhaps H1 2022 if COVID disrupted the development.
Yea, BOTW really took exploring to a new level. I loved Horizon though and I am super stoked for the sequel. I want to see how exploring underwater goes.
Say what you like... I liked Star Fox Adventures. Sure, it's a Zelda clone. But the Dinossaur world, the music, the characters, they are all unique. Nintendo could still use this world to revive and keep this franchise and make it à la Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Kazooie (as long as they make it super distinct from the 3D Mario series...
EDIT: we are having a shortage of that genre...

Same! I haven't played since Generations released so I've been playing World to get back into the flow of everything and I spent at least 3 hours on the character creator. Crazy how good it is.
Ahh, interesting. Thanks as always!
I know it probably won't ever happen, but I really wish Next Level would return to Super Mario Strikers instead of going after Luigi's Mansion and other ips. Strikers Charged on Wii is one of the most intensely competitive multiplayer games I have ever played. It's been well over 10 years without another installment... a Switch sequel would be incredible (even an HD remaster similar to Galaxy for the Wii game would be awesome)
I loved how much personality the game had. I know some people didn't like that whole "intense" thing, but I always took it as sort of a surreal joke, like as if it wasn't meant to be taken seriously and was for laughs. The characters had more personality than ever. Aside from Waluigi doing a crotch chop, most of the victory and loss animations had the most emotion i've ever seen from the cast, and the accompanying music for each of them fit so well with who they were.
It probably won't happen, and if it ever does, i'm worried it would be branded as "Super Mario Soccer" or something like that, and would resemble the gameplay of the Soccer mode in Mario Sports Superstars, which was heavily bland and lacked almost any depth or emotion at all.
Bring back the Mario Baseball franchise too. So many good memories. Bandai is such a talented developer.

Curious to see how this sells.
And surely Nintendo are aware of the popularity in the West of Murata and One Punch Man?
Any idea on how large the add on is? Not the size of a full length Mario game like Sunshine, right?
Yeah, my ignore list is full of xenophobes lol :p
Niiiice!!! Exciting year ahead! I hope to see more about BOTW2 before E3 tho...
After M&S at the 2016 Olympics, Strikers Wii isn't even that edgy. It doesn't have Shadow calling everyone the c-word when he misses a shot.
I swear it's gonna be about the arm. The old concept sketches had a robot / ghost arm, and then we get one in the teaser? I feel like they're gonna follow through on it, make it crucial (magical powers like hookshot arm, etc!), and maybe even work it into the name.
hi thread! it's nice to meet ya'll!
long time nintendo fan. i don't game much anymore, but i love my switch and psyched af to play mario 3D land again with the roomies. and to try out ring fit adventure. shoot me a message or a quote if you want to exchange friend codes! though i won't be able to be near my switch for another week or so.

What do most fake leaks use the "breath of the.." part and the " of the wild"?
"Wild" would be easier to use then "Breath" honestly

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to play some more indie games. I've already played the big ones (Hollow Knight and Shovel Knight) and would love some recommendations! I got my eyes on Cross Code and CyberShadow so far.
CrossCode is my favorite indie game and quite possibly my favorite RPG. It's just so damn good
That is a sexy top 18. Some serious RPG goodness...
I quite like my top 18.
Indie game is a bit vague, what kind of genres do you like? I'm guessing platformers by the titles you're listing, so I'm gonna recommend Celeste. Strongly recommend. It's like the best 2D platformer I've ever played.
Nice to see someone else also experience the load times of Revelations 2 on switch.
I quite like my top 18.
there were something else.
All the more reason for me to pick it up. Thank you!
You're right, I was being extremely vague. I don't know how Celeste slipped my mind but it was my first Nindie game ever so I can cross that one off already! I'm a huge, huge fan of RPGs, platformers and fighting games but honestly I'm open to anything.
I feel like they'll either do this, which is smart, or end up calling it The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Curse of the Gerudo, which is not smart.
Hmm, I'll recommend Hyper Light Drifter then. Really cool 2D action adventure game in a beautiful post apocalyptic world.
And slay the spire! Roguelike deck builder. The first time I've played this type of game and I was completely addicted.
Yeah, I need to start/finish many games on my backlog and I always end playing the same games lol...
XC2+Torna @ 345H
Zelda @ 300H
XCDE @ 155H
SMM2 @ 120H
A lot of fantastic RPGs on the system.
I barely even remember the actual campaign in the game, raid mode is where I spent like 120 hours.
Question for you guys after browsing the sale on the eShop.
How are both Sunless Sea and Armello when played in portable mode?
Both games seem interesting but I pretty much only play my Switch in portable mode and those games seem to be really text and UI heavy which can suck on a small screen if not done well.

I doubt there even will be an announcement. It'll drop out of sudden. Nowadays a lots of things get released that way.
This may seem stupid but I do make a clear distinction between "x of the y" and "X of y". I'm leaning towards a two-word title but I think three words is also possible.
Much appreciated! HLD is definitely a looker. STS doesn't look as good but I can see the gameplay looking being highly addicting. Will definitely watch more gameplay footage over the next few days! :)
Let me bold that part just in case something different happens and people start talking shit
I don't believe in dated mechanics, or ideas, or whatever. I definitely don't believe in one true way to do something. Though I would say invisible walls aren't really dated, since games like GTA and RDR and even Elder Scrolls have been doing worlds you can literally walk to every part of for decades now. It's just a difference in priorities. Sometimes a mountain is decoration, sometimes it's not. Invisible walls are just a design tool so you can create a world without having to design your games differently.
I don't actually want every game to have the ability to go "anywhere."

Glad to see that my team won the splatfest. I like to think that my 3-7 record this weekend contributed to Team Mushroom's convincing victory.
