An unequivocal masterpiece for the ages.
A masterpiece is right.
This game is the bomb. The granddaddy of pure videogames.
Switch, many breathtakingly beautiful games and people still wheel out the old 'underpowered' nonsense. The games on any console either look/run good or don't, and Odyssey, A Breath of the Wild, MK8, Arms, Mario + Rabbids, etc, etc, all I could dream of and then some. I could give a jot how many mghz + ram is involved...
I'd agree entirety. Equals and occasionally surpasses two giants such as SMB and Mario 64 is recommendation enough...but is it 'better' than SMW? Answer, yes, it amazingly is.
Nintendo have had an exceptional year in the hearts and minds of games. I'm not going to even look into sales, because honestly, I'm no shareholder or Wall Street type. I'm talking as a long time fan of videogames and Nintendo in particular. The 3DS/2DS, NES/SNES Classic and Switch combined with killer software on each making it feel like more games than is going to take 10 years to properly address.
WTF!?
It's showing as a 10 - whatever that means, I hate numbers accompanying a review - but nevertheless.
Nintendo. Out in the wilderness one gen, the next schooling all 'rivals' in what it is to be both creative, innovative and extraordinary. Still the grandmasters.
You really think that's how it works? Nintendo has nothing to apologise for. The WiiU was competitively priced and during it's relatively short shelf life offered an eclectic variety of games, both retail, Indie and other. Sure, it wasn't everything a console could be and more, but having owned countless consoles over my life, few if any achieve this status.
Guaranteed no study will ever find evidence videogames are good for you. I've been playing videogames most of my life but unlike some here can admit the obvious, yes, it's obviously detremental to our health. Staring at a screen, motionless for hours sometimes, etc, etc. I play and 'enjoy' them but can't for the life of me find any real positives to take out of it.
I love this time days before an exclusive lands and people live or die on a number placed over a particular game. Sure, Edge's review of Odyssey put to bed any small niggles I had we were going to see a repeat of Sunshine's - while very good - less than exemplary standards the other Mario's have set.
Emulation never trumps original hardware/software, that's a basic fact. Also, that rubbish you spouted regarding the Switch version looking grey...garbage! I think you've an awful cheap TV should this be the case, not that I believe for one second you even own or have played said system/game, just bleating from a position of ignorance.
The colours via PC emulation look horribly oversaturated. So, what we have in 6 months time (roughly) may be an example of a game the Switch will have been running for near a year at that point...great. Emulation is interesting and an enjoyable (for some) side hobby, I myself enjoy dabbling in it, but original hardware/software is 99.9% better.
The best Metroid in the franchise and one of the top 10 games of all time.
Innovation, imagination, iconic.
Why that isn't Mario or Zelda. That's like me saying I'm still waiting for some must have exclusives for the PS4 that isn't Uncharted or er, Crash?
How many games? WOW. More = better.
*rolls eyes*
Waving and flapping arms around wildly = doing it wrong. Doing as much wouldn't have gotten you very far on the majority of games built around motion controls for the Wii for example.
Looks lovely. I'll stick with ABOTW on the Switch however as it also looks fantastic and - perhaps more importantly - isn't likely to bug out on you as running it PC/CEMU likely could just as you are deeply invested in it. Oh, and the cost, which running it via a powerful enough PC will be double the amount - minimum.
Honestly, in an ideal world it deserves to sell better, much better. If games (for example) such as COD, GTA and Uncharted can sell as many as they do, Odyssey is a game which lauds it over them in every department and will be remembered/played long after the dust has settled, unlike the examples I used.
