I didn't like the non-traditional gameplay of Echoes of Wisdom, but more 2D Zelda is always a good thing since Link to the Past and Link's Awakening are my favorite. I hope we return to sprite-based or 2D artstyles too.

I wished there was a a favorite selection for echoes but other than that being able to play as Zelda in a 2D Zelda was a Bingo card selection I can finally Stamp off my wishlist for the series. Just need the Tingle spin-off to be released in the US and Boom, BINGO! |

I had a sneezing fit just now for some reason.... aaanyways, that Eternal Palace Sakura game is setting off "asset flip" alarm bells in my head. Back in the day, Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae was a bit more acceptable as a novelty game since it vibes like a discount Onechanbara (which in itself isn't the most bombastic FF7R-levels of gameplay and presentation), but with the advent of Unity allowing for all manner of small developers being allowed to stretch thin the definitions of "video game" and "replayability" over the last 5 to 10 years, I think I'm going to be steering clear given what that damage font looks like, among other red flags.
I'm pretty burnt out on both Pokemon and Zelda. I'm more interested in getting an actually-good Digimon game, or at bare minimum a re-release & fixing up of the original PS1 Digimon World and its 2003 sequel. I feel like I could play Ocarina and Majora 3D until the end of time, but with how massive Breath and Tears both are, I just don't think I have it in me to be excited for any further Zelda announcements for the next 5 years - I'm still working on finishing Breath of the Wild, and really it feels like it's the only game I'll ever need to play again of this size. I cant fathom they made a sequel to it with MORE in it. Nintendo needs to release the original Gameboy Donkey Kong and the portable GBC DK Country series like ASAP onto the Nintendo Switch. I suspect they're holding them back to coincide with some movie or park promos, but all of those are infinitely more exciting games than that wet shart of an announcement that the Mario vs DK remake was a while back - I'm under the impression Nintendo released it and no one noticed. Lastly, a weekly reminder that Wizardry Variants Daphne is working towards an eventual PC release, in the meanwhile it's a pretty legitimate modern take on the genre, especially if you played Wizardry: Forsaken Land back on the PS2 (a masterpiece btw). Don't be fooled by the fact that it is on phones. Additionally the excellent Wizardry: Five Ordeals which remakes a bunch of older Japanese Wizardry PC/PS2 scenarios is currently on discount for PC. The bizarro "KonoSuba-simulator" not-Rune Factory game Elin: Eternal League Of Nefia also hit Early Access on PC and is already pretty excellent and showing great mod support right out of the gates. Very much worth the time if you ever watched Kazuma use his Steal skill on a pair of panties and wanted to replicate that in a game the size of Skyrim that plays like a high-quality D&D/Harvest Moon/Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game. |
