    Does the Future Scare You at All?

    The far future does a little, I could live into the next century, and I can't help but compare 1916 to 2000 and imagine how overwhelmed I'd be if I were instantly transported to the year 2100!

    Misspellings and mispronunciations that annoy you

    I'm a native English speaker in a German country, so I've just tuned out all the mistakes they make. Two funny ones, though; they pronounce purchase like "purchAse", so the chase part is said like the word chase itself. I can't help but cringe at that. Another thing, they seem to not be able to...

    Anyone else trying to get a free Link plushie?

    I second this. I guess that was their intention all along! xD

    pokemon picross

    I used to play this daily, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to not spend money. I wish they would have just charged an upfront fee instead of making you feel like you have to spend money in order to progress. Hopefully Super Mario Run will be great, because apparently it uses a...

    What's The Most Difficult Video Game Boss/Section/Level/Etc To You?

    I remember finding the sweets level in super mario galaxy to be incredibly difficult, I don't think I ever completed it, and I must have tried at least 100 times. It's the one where there are moving, cookie-shaped holes in the moving, icing-covered platform, while lasers try to paralyze you. I...

    Gaming remedies

    I just start up MarioKart DS when I'm feeling down and the nostalgia of the opening theme song hits me every time... Seriously, for those who have played it, find it on YouTube or something, the theme tune alone is enough to bring back happy childhood memories xD

    How much do you GAME!?

    I try to play a little every day, but it gets difficult sometimes. There's a difference between games where you can frequently save, and games that have to be played in large chunks. The former I play far more often, only rarely do I have time for longer games. Zelda games are the exception, I...

    Games we didnt ask for

    If by didn't ask for you mean didn't expect, then I'd go for Super Mario Galaxy, I didn't know it existed until I was given it, and was instantly blown away by the 3D gravity effect. I certainly couldn't predict that sort of space game.

    What Games Do You Have On Your Phone?

    I only have Doodle Jump, because nothing else is compatible with iOS 3.

    Nintendo Classic Mini

    I think it's a great way for me to experience NES games, out of all of the included games I only have Super Mario Bros. and the two Zeldas... I'll definitely be picking this up to enjoy the gems of the NES era.

    Gaming history you missed out on

    I only enjoy Nintendo consoles - they make the most fun games in my opinion.

    I say 'video game' you say...

    I instantly think of the Wii and Mario Kart Wii.

    Wii U vs. Switch

    I believe in buying a console for its games, and the Switch sure delivers on that front. While 3rd party games are important for the success of the system, I only ever play Nintendo/Lego games anyway (and Lego pretty much has to support Nintendo, they have the same target demographic, like with...

    Just heard all GameStop stores are now taking trade-ins for older systems.

    Do you know if they're actually going to do that too? Because I agree, buying retro systems and games needs to be made easier. Also, is this only in the US, or is GameStop going to be doing this worldwide?

    Nintendo Nintendo HANDHELDS vs TV CONSOLES

    It really is an impossible choice... I started with the Wii and DS, and both copies of New Super Mario Bros. Strangely, I never realized the pixellated look of the DS's low resolution screen until just a short while ago. Fortunately, the Switch solves my dilemma of having to choose whether I...

    Games you got bored of too quickly

    I got bored very quickly of my first DS game - Happy Feet. Don't play it - it's incredibly boring and repetitive. I can't even see how it was published in the first place.

    Breath of the Wild Breath of the Wild looks far better on the Nintendo Switch

    Yes, I think it was Aonuma who said it, to either GameSpot or something similar... I remember it getting lost amongst all the other stuff, and was surprised not to hear it anywhere again. He did mention though, that the experience would be the same, so that's a bit of a shame for Switch owners...

    What Game(s) Are You Playing at the Moment?

    I made up a system whereby I play a different game every day, all in a specific order as dictated by an excel table. So I guess I'm technically playing my entire collection of around 30 games at the moment, though all with a month between playtimes.

    Latest Video Game Purchase

    Hyrule Warriors for Wii U, but I won't be playing it for a while, as I have a large backlog.

    Rate the Last Game That You Played

    New Super Mario Bros U: just randomly decided to play it again, I've got to say it does everything I need a Mario game to do, all while being just a general joy to play. 9.5/10 (The only downside might be that it's a tad to short, other than that I see no legitimate reason to give it any lower...

    What Games Should be on the Nintendo Switch?

    If the Joy-Con can be used as a Wii Remote and Nunchuk, hopefully a Skyward Sword remake is in the works! I love that game, but it looks so grainy on my display...

    Nintendo Switch News and Discussion Thread

    The Switch is going to be awesome! I just want to know how the eventual mario maker port is going to work without the dual screen functionality... Hopefully Nintendo can be successful with this console, they deserve it after the underappreciated Wii U (and hopefully they know to market and...

    Breath of the Wild Stereotypical what are you most excited for topic.

    I'm excited at the prospect of being able to use magnesis to create a see-saw catapult, and then jump a Mario-like jump (many times your height) into the air as the physics engine will be powerful enough to do it. I'm also excited for the music, I liked what we heard in the released footage up...

    Breath of the Wild BotW's new mechanics are not exactly new...

    I think the fact that you can create a see-saw out of a plank of wood and a barrel, and then use it to catapult yourself into a lake is rather new, wouldn't you agree? Seriously, the physics engine in this game is truly innovative (and should be too considering the eon they had to perfect it...

    Breath of the Wild Button Mapping?

    These were the controls used during the demo, notable is the ZR trigger reserved for the arrow, and the Jump and Dash buttons, leaving only 1 button (the y button) for items, which can be swapped out using the d-pad. Kind of weird how the R button is reserved for throwing stuff, hopefully that...

    Breath of the Wild What would you do if this game came out and it completely SUCKED?

    I don't think it could possibly be rubbish. It has so many things on its side - an incredibly long development time in order to iron out all the small imperfections, excellent looking graphics, a revolutionary open world for Nintendo, and excellent sounding music. Simply put, it will not be a...

    Breath of the Wild Breath of the Wild looks far better on the Nintendo Switch

    Do we even know if the video from the Switch reveal was even from the Switch itself? Wouldn't that sort of thing be green-screened in? yes, Nintendo said during e3 that the main difference between the Wii U and "NX" versions would be the graphical improvements of the "NX" version. Sorry I can't...

    Breath of the Wild Breath of the Wild on Switch - Console screen or television?

    I'd probably end up playing on the tablet most of the time, because I could do it in my bedroom. When outside, I won't really have a choice, will I? There's usually someone watching TV at home, so maybe I'll have to hook it up to my computer monitor. Battery life isn't an issue for me as I'll...

    Breath of the Wild Returning areas

    I would just love it if a version of Skyloft was in the game (floating island, anyone??). Also, something unexpected like the Sand Sea from Skyward Sword would be awesome!
  32. TPALBWSSWWALttPOoTMCMMST

    Breath of the Wild Will you play Breath of the Wind on Wii U or Nintendo Switch?

    Switch version for me so I can play it on the go, hopefully enticing other people to buy the system as well :) always good when people jump ship TO Nintendo, instead of FROM Nintendo to other devices.

    Getting Made Fun of for Zelda

    People tease me when I talk about Zelda, but the way they talk, it's obvious they just think it's another "kiddie" Nintendo game. Not one has actually tried it, and if they did, they probably wouldn't get very far before deciding it's not as good/more boring than annoying games like FIFA. The...

    Best Zelda remake so far?

    The TP HD remake is probably objectively the best-looking game, but the HD version of Windwaker also has a nice look to it... I haven't yet played the original n64 games, but I really enjoyed both 3D remakes.

    Microsoft is killing off the Internet Explorer brand

    Phone phones and more phones

    I got my first phone just five years ago actually, an non-touch screen nokia which served me well. I still miss it from time to time. Then I got the iPhone 5S in 2013, and now the 7+. I plan to continue upgrading every 3 to 4 years, as that way even the most expensive phones can be bought when...

    Which operating system?

    I have used Windows since the XP days, and just shied away from Mac OS as I only ever encountered it rarely, and I told myself it was bad, because it wasn't what I had. So childish! A few years ago I had the option to choose a PC or a Mac as my laptop (as a present from my parents), and I...

    What kind of device do you use for ZDi/general internet?

    I generally just use my windows pc, because my iPhone 3G isn't suited for anything other than simple messages, music and phone calls these days. Soon though, I'll have saved up enough to get an iPhone 7 Plus (took long enough!), so I will probably use the comparatively far larger display to surf...

    Super Mario Run

    I was so excited when Miyamoto came up on stage to introduce this game, it was completely unexpected! I think it's a good idea, and will certainly sell well considering the name Nintendo has made for itself with Pokemon Go recently. Seriously, this summer was the only time in recent memory when...

    Wii U or Xbox?

    I much prefer the Wii U to any other modern games console, but in your case you should definitely wait for the NX coming in March, as it's sure to be much better than both.

    Favorite/Least Favorite Dungeons

    I loved Lanayru Mining Facility, which, aside from its incredibly boring name, is an awesome dungeon through-and-through. Goron Mine was also a brilliant one, I loved the magnetic Iron Boots.

    Favorite/Least Favorite Character

    My favourite character is definitely Fi, and my least favourite probably that knight that saves you when you fall of the edge of Skyloft. I must have fallen off at least a hundred times (it was always accidental, the controls took a while to get used to), and the twenty second animation of Link...

    Did you play the remakes first?

    I was a latecomer to the Zelda party, only starting this year, so I have only played the 2 HD versions, the 2 3D versions, and the DX version of the respective games. I had the opportunity, for example, to buy TP on the Wii or the HD version on the Wii U, and when you put it that way, there...

    Game you have the most versions for

    I have 3 copies of Twilight Princess HD (just the HD version), 4 copies of Splatoon and 5 of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, although only because the discs mysteriously break every few months and I have to replace them.

    How do you organize your games?

    I seem to be the only one to organise games like I do: by title length. You see, all my games are Nintendo ones (I have about 30), and they're Wii U/3DS/Wii/DS, which are all very uniform in terms of titles; i.e. all are centered in the middle of the side, with the same font and colour etc... So...

    Which Anime Are You Currently Watching?

    I've always preferred the 4th generation, probably because it was the first TV show I ever watched. X and Y is probably objectively the best though, I really enjoy the style of animation. What about you?
