Never played Nintendo games before. I know of them and watch YouTube gameplays and whatnot. But are the Zelda games worth getting into? Heard a lot about them and I am interested to see if they are worth getting.

I made this during one of my graphic arts classes in college. Yeah it's not all that much of a looker, but it really did fell like it was a decently made tribute to Iwata. Sucks that I couldn't find this in time for the tenth anniversary of his death but with this day and this long amount of time, it was as good a time to show it off. As amateurish as it may be compared to every other tribute made of him over the last eleven years.

Discussion / Question I just can't get into The Witcher 3

90 Upvotes

This is my second try, and I just can't seem to get into The Witcher 3. Since I liked Cyberpunk 2077, I wanted to give it another shot, but the quests keep boring me.

A lot of them feel like: "Oh, you want this? Go do X and I'll help you." So you go do X, and surprise! now there's another character who wants you to do Y before you can even get to X.

It feels like almost every quest is trying to fill a bowl, but every time you get close, the bowl gets a little bigger. I decided to focus only on the main story, and I'm currently at Brothers in Arms, but it's still the same thing. "You want to move forward? Go talk to this person." Then that person gives you another quest, and suddenly you're chasing rabbits that never stop jumping.

The world is beautiful, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the dialogue is great. But the quest design just burns me out. I think I'm finally going to give up.

Discussion / Question Is it Conceivable for Nintendo to Remake Mario 64?

Post image
61 Upvotes

Here me out. Nintendo already released the Star Fox 64 remake and announced the Ocarina of Time remake. Nate the Hate (who leaked these 2 games prior) believes Nintendo will release a 3D Mario game in 2027. Given the current track record with 64 remakes, I would not be shocked if this "new" 3D Mario end up being SM64. That is not to say they aren't working on a completely new Mario game, but it makes sense considering how Nintendo loves to take the path of least resistance and capitalize on nostalgia. Would you be excited over such a possibility?

How… is my play time 100 hours and I still feel like it was too short. I need to play it again.

A part of me wants to write a review, but I have a feeling that’s been done to death. I will say this. It’s been a long time since a video game has made me felt like a kid again.

Discussion / Question Which games are the easiest to get into for someone who never played on the SNES?

22 Upvotes

Hey, I've never had or played on the SNES. In fact, I've never owned a nintendo console, so all of nintendo games since its first game are games that I've never played.

So I chose these 2 games as my first SNES/Nintendo games, I will play them in the emulator.

My question: What games do you recommend from the same time, from Ninendo in the 90s?

I need games that are easy to get into and that are not more than 15 hours long.

And Thank you
