"All the Mario characters are in there, but all the other characters, you'll just have to play and find out," Aonuma says Looks like some of the original version’s cameos might not make the cut... We know that Dr Wright is still in, so who could be one of the casualties... poor Kirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they figured that selling something that was only worth 1p for £54.99 was just too much of a pisstake... Fools... If the royal mint can get away with selling a £5 coin for two grand, surely Nintendo can sell a Green Rupee!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicktendo Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Does look like it’s running at 60FPS now which is good news. No excuse for it being 30 to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 So not "Disastrous" "Unnacceptable" or "Slipping quality standards" then? Nintendo games always improve from a technical pov closer to release, glad to see that seems to be the case here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's Twitter, Android or both but videos always skip for me, it's really jarring. Anyway, the Japanese Artbook set boxart looks really good, wish we were getting this one: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening won best Switch game at Gamescon. Is a remake of a 26-year-old game really better overall than brand new games like Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Pokémon Sword and Shield? Seems somebody thinks so. If I remember correctly, it also won IGN’s Switch game of E3 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) I just realised that this is going to be a lot of people's first ever Zelda game. The art style will appeal to kids and families especially. As a game it's a hell of a lot more accessible than Breath of the Wild, for example. Can you imagine not having played a Zelda game before? I'm kind of jealous of such people! Edited August 19, 2019 by Tim B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Link's Awakening will be great, but unless it's radically different in a way Nintendo are keeping secret, I doubt it'll be my Game of the Year purely because it's a remake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 This is now available to pre-order on eShop. It seems that you can use a Switch online voucher and still claim the bonus x2 gold points, effectively making it £37. I was going to get the physical version, but might go for digital now instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I read differently elsewhere, so thanks for checking. I still think I will go for a physical version as it’s only a 15 hour game, 20 max.
