😁 Sorry not sorry!

Nah, I wouldn’t even wish it gone, really. I just couldn’t care even a bit about anything they had to show that day.

BG&E was that charming single-player adventure game, with quirky and lovable characters and a tiny handcrafted universe. And with a non-ending that begged for a direct sequel.

What they showed in that E3 preview was yet another freaking Ubisoft open-world. It was supposed to be planet-level huge, because of course it was powered by boring procedural bullshit. It was always online, multi-player oriented, and “if you really want it, you could play it alone, but why would you?”

Oh, and it was a prequel with different characters, because fuck your closure I guess.

That was me, too.

And then, 6 years ago when they showed it at E3 : “Wait, what?.. Uh, I’m good Ubisoft, I don’t need whatever this is anymore.”

And then of course it disappeared again anyway.

I’d say they’re halfway there. They basically ended their announcement with “next time, expect us to shut it down forever”.

Wait, what? I really can’t understand why they’d port it without touch input.

Even weirder is that Grindstone, another Capy game, has touch control on Switch. I guess someone else might have done the Clash of Heroes port.

I had the game on DS too, really liked it. I tried the android port that already had the enhanced visuals, but because of the weird orientation choice it was almost impossible to play on a phone screen, units were way too small for capacitive input. I’m sure on a larger screen it would have been no problem.

That’s a bit funny, I remember a time when original Splatoon got its first test event (before release) on the Wii U and there was a lot of people raging about the “terrible” motion controls that didn’t let them use sticks like a normal game.

Really, complaints everywhere for days, claims that the game was ruined before even releasing, memes about Nintendo and their love of motion controls…

A few people started to comment saying “wait, it’s nice, actually it kinda works” but they were still mostly drowned in the outrage.

All of that disappeared very fast once the game was released, and it became one of the few Wii U games to get some attention.

Depends on how low you want it to drop.

On the EU e-shop (seems to be similar for the US one) Breath of the Wild has regular 30% discounts starting about one year after release. It’s been 6 years, it never went lower, and probably never will.

Same for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It’s been almost 10 years since the original release of Mario Kart 8, and eshop sales never go under 30%.

Nintendo is known for keeping their games mostly full price. The only games that get big sales are the ones that didn’t perform as well as they wanted, and even that is becoming rare.

That name goes back to original LoZ, can’t change it now. Lots of Zelda creatures were introduced then, it had impressive diversity for a NES game. Molblin, Zoras, Darknuts, Lynels, Like-Likes, Wizzrobes, Peahats, WallMasters, Gohma, Dodongo…

Some had weird names directly taken from Japanese, and some had weird names from localization (…Manhandla?)
