Fucking insane. I'm enjoying the game more than BotW. Almost 50 hours in. ~70 shrines done. But I think the gameplay loop got a little boring to me. Gonna take a break and come back this weekend.
I just procured a New 3ds XL and have recently started my first play through of OOT with plans to play Majora's Mask next. Being mainly a Sega and PlayStation kid in the late 80's and early 90's, I was aware of Zelda but never had an opportunity to play them. To my surprise, Zelda games are very similar to metroidvanias. Very cool stuff and I imagine a new Zelda entry with this play style would be amazing.I really hope you’re right. I adore BOTW/TOTK, but I hope we get a new game in the style of the older 3D ones at some point. I love those so damn much.
no i think will evolve like they always do. people forget that we were stuck with the OOT fomula for a long time. let not go back. let them continue to evolve. Keep the OOT formula for the 2D Zelda games.
It's going to take a while. They will have time to think about it. My bet is they will move away from cel-shading. They have been using it for too long.
Wonder what they’ll do with the next one. They’re going to want to keep riding this wave for better or worse.
Only 228 million more copies to go. (Plus they need to stop selling Minecraft)on track to dethrone minecraft
That's incredible i did my part
My bet is they will move away from cel-shading. They have been using it for too long.
But they actually did and created this open world Zelda in BOTW and TOTK instead.When you don't alienate your fanbase, this is the type of sales you can expect.
Cod is coming out this year, they chalked their 2 year plan for mw2 lol. now its gonna be a "full priced expansion" whatever that means.Should be a pretty exciting battle between TotK and Hogwarts Legacy for the crown of best seller this year with apparently no CoD to compete with.
Quietly I'm rooting for HL so it will be even more funny when the entire gaming media pretends it doesn't exist when GOTY voting starts and it's not an available option to vote for!
I ended up buying the OLED switch, the game, the amiibo and the pro controller...They got me good!
Always was.is Nintendo the King in gaming?
By the end of 2024? It'll hit 20 million in the next few weeks.I think if it’s already sold 10m it’ll probably be at 20m by the end of 2024 when the next Switch could launch.
Dunno man. Elden Ring sold 13m in its first 5 weeks but only just hit 20 million this year. A lot of sales are front loaded but Nintendo games have legs like no one else so you may be correct.By the end of 2024? It'll hit 20 million in the next few weeks.

when you're on a site like NeoGAF you have to specify because people say outlandish shit here all the time in the sake of console warring, lol/jk, noticed I have to add these now cause people are too serious these days.

Fuck you very much, thanksThere is no question tbh...
Like Link's Awakening, albeit a remake, it was a surprising great treat to play. The more variety of different gameplay options for Nintendo's franchises the better.Why? Nintendo makes 2D Mario, 64 Mario, and the hybrid 3D World style Mario all at the same time, and they're all pretty good after a long history of experience and lessons from all their predecessors. OF COURSE we will get another open world game, but wait for it at the END of Switch 2 or even the next system. In the meantime, Switch 2 will need different Zelda stuff than just TOTK.
For example. Maybe we will get a 3D Zelda that is more focused, but it adds multiplayer with player 2 able to be Zelda. Which is a great reason for it to be a more focused game, and it can be built around facilitating this and whatever gimmick makes the 2 player tick. This would be a valid game but sit alongside TOTK on the shelf, not replace it, like the giant wall of Mario at Wal-Mart.
2D game remakes are already being rendered in 3D like Link's Awakening. There's no power reason to limit it to 2D gameplay anymore.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet did 10 million in 3 days and it hit 20 million in 6 weeks.Dunno man. Elden Ring sold 13m in its first 5 weeks but only just hit 20 million this year. A lot of sales are front loaded but Nintendo games have legs like no one else so you may be correct.
But it appeals to the majority and sales reflect that.But they actually did and created this open world Zelda in BOTW and TOTK instead.
You got off easy. We have two Oled Switch and two enhanced battery Switch. Also two copies of a lot of the classics. The Amiibo is a scam.I ended up buying the OLED switch, the game, the amiibo and the pro controller...They got me good!
Elden Ring isn't on the same plane of existence Zelda is in terms of marketability and name recognition. Not to mention, it's just open-world Dark Souls, which is going to cap out at some point.Dunno man. Elden Ring sold 13m in its first 5 weeks but only just hit 20 million this year.

Brilliant game. But I am sad because I know nintendo will never make an old style zelda game again….
Might have to get that switch againAlways was.
I also remember some folks were saying they weren't sure it would surpass BotW in sales. lolRemember when half this forum was saying they needed to show more prerelease to convince people?
More like the tears of the hatersThe tears of the kingdom hate is super fucked up.
