There are the 2D anime looking drawings of the characters that appear for character interaction such as dialogue, not the main game, then there are the cutscenes. I don't care about the Mana series at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 18 hours ago, Nick Parker said: I think where the surprise comes for most people is that by the trailer it appears to be a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild rather than a "spiritual" one as usual. Last time the big Nintendo boys did something like this was in 2000, and Majora's Mask was a rarity then, too. A direct sequel makes the most sense, though. With all the success on all levels, they would have been stupid to not do it, also with all the timeline talk. People are aching for an expansion of the BotW story. Ocarina of Time was also the last Zelda game to warrant a direct sequel with all the success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re on a beach vacation right now, and that was a marvel of scrimping and saving and unfortunately still credit cards. This game will be the one I save for, though.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Super Mario Maker 2 will likely be my favorite game of the year, but part of me wishes they had first made a full-on Nintendo-crafted new 2D Mario game in the Super Mario 3D World/Land style. They were already a pair of games that took 3D Mario back to the spirit of 2D Mario levels, it would have made perfect sense to create an actual 2D game in that style.

Jay 37,361 Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Yea I'm a bit miffed we already know the next two major Zelda releases post-BOTW, but we don't really know what the next major Mario plans are post-Odyssey. I know Mario Maker 2 technically counts as a major Mario game, and of course the fact you get 100 new Nintendo-crafted levels without ever going on line or building your own levels essentially makes it like a new 2D Mario game, but I hope they are working on a true new 2D Mario game as well as a true new 3D Mario game. I'd also love some sort of port of all the best levels from New Super Mario (DS), New Super Mario 2 (3DS) and New Super Mario Bros Wii, all mixed up and rearranged maybe with some new ones in HD graphics (essentially use the NSMBWiiU Swith port engine and graphics) And of course, I'd love a port of Super Mario 3D World for the Switch (Maybe with all the levels from 3D Land added as a bonus!?) as well as a true followup to that game But I also love it when Nintendo does something unexpected, so a new Mario game that's in a whole brand new style would be awesome too. Hopefully something cool is planned for 2020 or whenever the MM2 lifecycle is winding down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I just bought Doom for Switch as the price was finally right (it's on sale for $30 digitally right now). So if I love it, Doom Eternal might be a Day 1 purchase for me. BTW I love that I just bought the game on Nintendo.com and it's currently downloading on my Switch at home right now.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Well I forgot that my micro SD card was lost with my original Switch back in 2017. I just haven't run out of space until now because I bought all retail games physically up until today with DOOM. So I won't be playing it tonight after all. I ordered a 400 GB one to come Saturday. Since I couldn't play Doom I decided that I'd finally start the Mortal Kombat 11 story mode. However that required a 8GB patch or story mode is inaccessible. This is ON TOP OF the 16GB patch I already downloaded when I first put the game card in a few weeks ago. I hate modern gaming. Cadence of Hyrule downloading now!
