People are calling the next Zelda to be a Souls-like. Little do they know, the game that want already exists.
It's not my fault you love an objectively horrible game.

Sadly they are really annoying to play nowadays, because the gameboy only had two buttons you constantly have to go into your inventory. Nintendo really should update those games a tiny bit. I mean come on, if you are gonna resell them do a LITTLE bit of work first.
You're an objectively horrible game.

I think we can all agree that Triforce Heroes was a misstep. I hope it didn't take any resources away from a real new 2D Zelda.
Speaking of which, as much as I liked A Link Between Worlds, I hope they go for a new thing with the next one, especially art-style wise.
That is unfortunate. My nostalgia will probably be able to suffer through that kind of stuff though.

It's still insane to me that Nintendo never put out a 2D Metroid on the DS or 3DS btw. Like what the fuck.
not really, it's a lot of fun
they've said time and time again that they don't do new games if they don't feel like they have anything worthwhile to add to it. metroid is obviously such a case

I think darksiders might be the only zelda style game I've completed.

While I'm not crazy about Skyward Sword, it's a shame the Zelda team moved to open world without giving the small dense overworld another chance in 3D.
The inventory system does suck. It really does. I think the core game is good enough to justify the hassle, but I can see why someone would be put off.
The sprite art is soooo damn cool, too. God those are good games.
With the success of Fire Emblem and the return of getting 2 full games at the same time, I think we all know what the right move is. It's time to make a sequel to the Oracle games. Do it Nintendo. It's the right thing.

Yeah, but they also put out 5 New Super Mario Bros games.
I want a new 2D Metroid so bad. Imagine what Nintendo could do with some really amazing 2.5D Metroid art.
Darksiders 1 is such a damn cool game. I hate the try-hard heavy metal art, but the core game is so strong. Darksiders 2 has to be my biggest disappointment of the last generation.
Clearly Mario is worthwhile at adding to their bottom line.

I remember going over to my friends house for about what seemed to be 9 nights straight to play through OoT at release when I was in college. Great game but dunno how any of this stuff with hold up with the generation now in elementary school like my kids.

It seems fine for what it is. The game just seemed like 0% what I want from a Zelda game.
That would be so cool.
i think from nintendo's perspective (which is the one that counts here if we're trying to understand why certain sequels get made and others don't) they've felt like they've come up with stuff to differentiate the games
and let's not underestimate sales here. i'd say they play a lesser role for nintendo than they do for other companies but at the end of the day, metroid isn't pulling in the numbers. as someone clamouring for a new advance wars, i know the feeling all to well
Darksiders 2 is exactly the wrong direction the series should have gone in, while being a goddamn sidestory. After the end of the first game was the hypest fucking shit ever, it was a huge letdown.
everyone has very pre-defined notions of what [game in nintendo franchise] should be and it bores me, frankly. not to mention that it undermines every single one of their arguments for and against a game

I understand why people think Majora's Mask is interesting and creepy and all that
but as a game, I don't understand why anyone would say it's better than Ocarina. It has 4 dungeons. The overworld is literally a circle with quadrants - ice area, beach, forest, mountain. It's so dull. The 3-day structure is a neat idea but doesn't add much except frustration early on while you're figuring out how it works and what you can do. Again, neat idea, but lacking in execution. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great game, and I do kinda love it - but it's also one of the most flawed games in the series. I'd still put it in the top 5 though.
This is hella true. The sequel was a big disappointment though.

Sure, but at the time Metroid WAS one of their big franchises. The Castlevania games did great on the DS. Not even attempting to make a 2D Metroid for the DS seems still insane to me.
Also, I really don't buy their explanation. That sounds like a "No, no your dog is living on a farm on the other side of the country!" explanation to appease fans. Like me.

Wellllll you're right, we shouldn't want the same ol' thing, and I don't. I couldn't tell you what I do want, though, not with any specificity. All I can say is I saw Triforce Heroes and thought "not that."

I thought the Darksiders combat was just terrible and that targeting camera was one of the worst things I've ever experienced in that kind of game. Which is weird because it's not like it was all that different to Zelda's, but something about the perspective and the added black bars actually made me nauseous.

I'm going to go with a wild opinion here
Zelda as a series
It is all stale and boring. It peaked at OoT. It's been downhill through there. OoT has not aged well. Going back to it, it is mediocre. All the most recent Zelda games are unfortunately underneath that.

anyway, i'll add that getting something i want and that turned out good is pleasant enough but getting something i didn't want or didn't know i wanted and that convinces me is even better
because most of the times, what we want is the obvious thing. nintendo usually doesn't give me that obvious thing and, whether what they do give me hits or not, i can't help but find most aaa output dull in comparison

Don't remind me. I really appreciated that Vigil tried to make Darksiders 2 a bigger game but it just ended up being massively disappointing.

NSMB needs a serious rethinking on almost every level.
Bring back Metroid.
I strongly believe that whoever designed the desert area of SS should direct a Zelda game. Everything in that area was great. Even the dragon song thing was well done.

what daydream said
that said also where's my 2d metroid you bastards? i even liked fusion! give it to me!
But they've done such an incredible job of making them all feel so different. Like this one's New Super Mario Brothers but on our newest system, it's completely different now because have you seen this shiny object? Look how shiny. What were we talking about?

I've always felt pretty weird in that I don't actually care for any nintendo franchise other than pokemon and fire emblem, mostly because I didn't grow up with them.
oh, that's not the reason, buddy
I'm not entirely clear what Dan Ryckert's 100 point system entails with regard to Taco Bell products (I'm assuming everything is between 90 and 100).
If that is the case I can agree with this assessment. Quesalupas are ok. 3/10 sounds about right. If you're already at the point of going to T-Bell, might as well get something else IMO. They are fun novelty, but I am not having another.

I was a Sega kid. It gets better.
NCL had Retro make Metroid Prime in part because Metroid was significantly more popular in the West than Japan. I don't think they hate Metroid, but the series creator, Sakamoto clearly prefers to work on smaller quirkier titles, like Tomodachi Life and Rhythm Heaven, so it's been fallow since Other M. And I don't think they're going to force the issue.
Now Federation Force...that's someone having an idea for a really long time that finally became a thing at a really bad time. It'll probably be fine because Next Level is a good developer, but it's just not an easy sell right now. I sincerely believe, however, that there will be a "real" Metroid game in the next few years. It's not dead like Mach Rider or something.

Sorry about posting a selfie in a gaming thread, but I thought a few might be curious how the shirt this thread is titled after looks. I like it, nice quality, got a size L and it fits as expected, overall very happy with my dumb purchasing decision!

Getting mine tomorrow.
We are truly blessed in this, the year of the 'me.
I saw some text on the back when Dan and Jason had their shirts on UPF. Does that one have anything on the back of it?
speaking of 'me, it's even made its way into the mario maker now
