I've seen people getting filtered by Fire Emblem Engage's colorful aesthetics in spite the game itself is pretty solid.
Admittedly, Engage is the first FE title that I've played from start to (almost) finish, with 120 hours clocking, and I plan on playing Three Houses next.


also I found out rather late that Kagetsu is voiced by Takehito Koyasu

Both Breath of the Wild and Smash Bros Ultimate costs 70€ MSRP where I live, and I've been assuming this was the case as well for americans.

nah, both cost $60 dollars at launch not including any DLC or amiibo add-ons
TOTK has raised the price to $70, without much more than a quiet display of the price on-site, which makes me very wary since they are still showing almost nothing of the game nearly 4 years after its announcement and three months prior to release
(is it a higher price overseas too or still 70 euros? Curious to know)

This was a fun meme to re-locate. I found a bunch but they were all edited to remove the broken English.

Idg the WW hate. Granted I rented it from blockbuster. So I don't really remember much of it. I know the sailing mechanics was considered bad and the triforce thing?

I wonder why they never released it on Switch. A bundle containing it, Twilight Princess, and Spirit Tracks would be fun.

I'm still hoping Zelda actually gets shit done in TOTK...
 
whatever I feel like said:
The reason is you'll pay for it. Eat shit and pay, cow, or choose not to and skip the game.

alternatively, yargh
i'll probably just skip though. Will just wait until I can play it and BOTW with my kids for a better experience lol. Maybe seeing things through their eyes will help get me more invested, especially without youtube spoiling the whole thing rotten a week after release

Sucks shit that only America gets the price increase. They're really going to use the inflation argument, aren't they? While we know full well that they're still gonna try and peddle DLC like they do with every fucking release now...

Everything is getting more expensive, Soyny and Xbox games got more expensive too. Were you really so naive to think Nintendo video games also won't get more expensive? Are we living in the same clown world? A box of cheapo pasta is >$1.25, I thought video games would take a price hike months ago.
You can not like it but being so surprised and angry about it is kind of funny. This isn't like 2015 when Atlus started to charge $50 for their 3DS games out of nowhere for no real reason.

If you don't want to pay it and you're not autistic enough to bother with computer gaming then wait to get a used copy or just miss out on it. I promise you won't die.

And I know I shit on Atlus for EO Remake being $80, but DS remakes are a bit different plus 2 of the 3 games were already remade and with more effort and content behind them for the same $40 price tag even if money is worth less now it's too expensive for what it is. Thought I would throw that out there if my line of thought seemed incongruous to anybody.

This is the root of all Wind Waker hate at the time the game was released:

Nintendo set expectations to: realistic and swordfights.

We got swordfights and one of the best Zelda games. But we did not get "realistic" and that made GameFAQs mad. Cel shading won the day though. Those early cel shaded games like Wind Waker and Okami still look great.

I'm not sure why you're so mad at me being mildly angered that there was a price hike. I understand why it's there, and that other companies have done it, but I don't like it when they do it and I don't have to like it when Nintendo does it. The price hike would be infinitely more understandable if it was just for a single game, complete on-disc, without guarantee of DLC or extra paid content in the future, or if it was a whole thing like "hey we're upping the price of all our mainline AAA releases by ten dollars to cover increasing costs". The main irritating thing is that this price hike is being pushed ALONGSIDE those extra purchases, which are already in and of themselves making up for more costs than the price hike would considering that the "DLC passes" they sell typically go for at least 1/3 of the original game's MSRP (BOTW's was 20 bucks, at least- don't know if TOTK's inevitable pass will be more expensive or not), as well as a lack of marketing that would incentivize buying the game in the first place, let alone justifying the hike for this game (but not a single other one in Nintendo's first-party catalogue). To add on to that, Nintendo is usually very slow to adapt to trends: it took them YEARS to even think about adding DLC to their games, and we're only now reaching the point that the other companies had sunken to nearly a decade ago, with plenty of DLC packs for every release and arguably unfinished releases on a semi-regular basis. So to see NOA immediately jumping on the trend of $70 releases this soon after they appeared elsewhere, and only for a single game, is confusing and irritating.

Also, bold of you to assume that I'm not invested in PC gaming: i've actually been trying to get my foot in that door for the past year or two (primarily due to Nintendo becoming increasingly scummy when the whole reason I ever stuck with Nintendo (outside of legacy IPs) was because they didn't dabble in the same evil shit as the other two to nearly the same extent). I've been struggling, because I don't have the funds nor the time to make an optimal setup, but I've definitely been trying to bother with it.

I'm not even pissed, just kind of baffled and irritated. Maybe I'm making it sound like the world is ending, but it really isn't: as I said, I'm planning on not buying or buying much later due to all this stuff, and mainly reacted semi-volatilely due to the fact that the price hike was 1) only for Zelda 2) shadowdropped after a direct that didn't give us much substantial info on the game at all 3) was pushed alongside a Deluxe edition, a new amiibo figure, and now a new model of the OLED
tl:dr this is a dumb argument and we're both overreacting, but this $70 shite still stinks

Buy a PAL version then. Or wait two months for the $60 "sale" and buy it then.

Either way, it's okay when Nintendo do it because they still make video games.

it's not okay when anybody does it while selling DLC imo :/
though I will agree that it's slightly more justified for Nintendo as opposed to a company like EA, if only because EA just sucks that much more

I feel like the only person on the planet who actually liked twilight princess but it felt like the game dragged on forever. It was realistic to me and close enough to the space world 2000 footage. Just more polished versions of the same models and all. Definitely preferred it over BOTW's excessive cell shading.

Then again the same habitual whiners are also the same idiots who probably bought skyrim and its multiple re-releases of the exact same game over the years.

Forget all that; just look at how long it took Nintendo to go up to $60. Weren’t 360 and PS3 games $60 from day one? Nintendo didn’t start doing that until the Wii U.

This is the first game Nintendo's priced that way. It definitely comes off greedy considering it's a Majora's Mask situation, plus it's not exactly a AAA game by 2023 standards anyway. It's just them knowing they can get away with it because games are going up in price an it'll sell regardless.

I like Twilight Princess and the entire style it had, the Twilight realm just oozes atmosphere, and I especially like the use of bloom (I'm a monster, I know). It's not really realism, its stylized but grittier. Not a fan of Skyward Sword's look and especially not a fan of BoTW, I think the closest game visually to TP is Dark Souls 1, but that lacks the highly stylized characters that TP had (which I think is the best part but people really hate them because they are 'creepy'). TP's visual style is heavily inspired by Ico and Fumito Ueda's style, but instead of desaturated and high exposure, its more saturated but with high orange tinting (the twilight part of the title). I really feel that the 6th generation of games had the strongest art direction, everything after just became the same generic realism or generic 'stylized' which is just cell shading.
