Video Game Thread - $70 Zelda Expansion!

Wonder if it's going to be the killer app of the next Nintendo console so they moved it to coincide with a hardware release...
 
If so, that would mean there’s no original Zelda game for the Switch. BOTW was a Wii U game.
 
Eh, they'd be saying the same thing about the next one though. It will have been largely developed for the Switch and likely released on it as well, but also a flagship release for the newer console. So basically the same situation as the original BOTW.
 
The big question is where we are in the Switch life span. With the release of the OLED, there's no talk about a new console. But it's been 5-6 years between every other Nintendo console released in the US and the Switch came out in 2017.

Yeah, I'd read in a few places that the OLED Switch was initially supposed to also be a hardware/performance upgrade, but due to a combo of supply chain issues and just the overall continued popularity of the Switch they just upgraded the screen and pushed off the rest. But who knows, Nintendo is so unpredictable.
 
I’m not sure it’s worth it for Nintendo to push new hardware when the Switch is still extremely popular after perhaps the strongest 15-18 month run of first party games. Just seems weird to launch a new console after putting out sequels to many of their most popular franchises.

But obviously they could launch with BOTW 2 and Odyssey 2 or a new AAA Mario game and be in great shape.
 
No news at all on a new mainline Mario game is brutal. It’ll be five years since Odyssey this fall.

11 years since Skyrim. I think its very possible if not likely that we'll hit the 15 year mark before another ES game

I'm new to this thread. I mainly play COD with friends and occasionally buy a game and get really into it. I really love sci fi and survival horror games, so I'm into anything Resident Evil as soon as it comes out. I've also loved games like Prey, Destiny, and Mass Effect. I'm more pumped for Starfield than I have been for any game in a long time.

ETA: I'm playing Dying Light 2 right now and it's pretty great.

I would have bet money that a Odyssey sequel or mainline Mario title would have come out during the 35th anniversary last year.

This year is the Zelda 35th. There’s been no word about bringing old games to the Switch aside from Switch online additions. After Link’s Awakening, I thought they’d be doing more remasters.

It’s reasonable to assume the pandemic hurt them more than we know.

PC or console? Depending on the answer I might recommend Cyberpunk.

Was praying for a windwaker. Nintendo has had a really interesting year and a half.
 
9 years since GTA 3 on the PS3. And they're getting ready to rerelease it.

I'm on the Xbox One still. The Series X will be purchased before Starfield.

Nevermind then. I do believe that it's working fine on Series X now after the patch, but I have 0 clue on stability on the last generation It's a whole different thing on a solid PC and I've fallen in love post patch 1.5.
