I think there's a few facets to this but I want to look at two, one where you create a character that's fully customizable, and the other where it's just choosing your gender and the male/female character have a set design for the most part. Another angle I thought of is choosing which...

Simply put, divide your age by half and see if you can remember what your favorite games were from back then. It's cool to look back to how your tastes have changed or what new franchises you got into later in life that changed everything, or even just games you loved from back then and still do...

Say you go to a new restaurant or one that has items on the menu that you're not too familiar with. Are you likely to order something new to you? Or do you usually play it safe and order something you're most likely going to like?

One of the most important games ever that's always referenced by Nintendo and has been re-released numerous times. So the question is when was the first time any of you have played it? Was it through virtual console, emulation, NSO, or some other form? And if you haven't played it....why? And...

I saw something about this the other day and wanted to bring this question here. In current canon from the Clone Wars animated series, Order 66 was done b/c there was a chip implanted on all clones where they have to abide and eliminate the jedi against their will. Prior to it though, the...

How's everyone feeling about this these days?

Let's get a quick feel here, do you think we'll see new hardware this year? Not just announced then come out next year, but are we actually seeing it this year? And an actual successor, not a new Switch iteration or anything? It's all speculation but where do you land?

What has been the most shocked you've ever been for a game announcement? Something you would've never predicted would come to fruition, and even after it came out it still feels unbelievable that it happened? I might have to go w/ the Famicom Detective Club games. These were Japan only visual...

Booster Course Pass for 8 Deluxe has been out for a bit and it might be some time until we see the next Mario Kart. So since that's done, what are some of your favorite tracks from the series overall? Regardless if they're present in 8 or not. List however many you want These are some of my...

I know it's another favorites thread but this one has been kicking around in my head for a while. Not going to list every possible genre but just some broad ones to think which ones are your stand out games. Platformer Action/Adventure Racing Fighting RPG Sports FPS Puzzle Strategy Plenty of...

Across the series, we've seen plenty of variants of the white full body trooper suits. So just talking about the plain normal designs, which once sticks out as your favorite? I'll just stick to the ones we've seen in the movies to keep it easy. I've always been partial to the Episode 3 Clone...

We've seen a ton of game compilations come out over the years, even some of the same games. However, some of them prioritize bonus features over the amount of games. The main example I think of is Mega Man, there was the Anniversary Collection on 6th gen consoles that had 1 - 8 plus both Power...

Even though at the moment the next system hasn't been shown off yet, it would still be a fair amount of time until a brand new Zelda game is shown, especially the next big 3d one. So if we can speculate, how likely do you think it will be for the next original game to be playable on the current...

At a given Pokemon game, how likely are you to keep your starter on an initial playthrough? If you typically keep yours, have you ever made an exception? Not really thinking about it, I always keep my starters throughout the game. The sole exception so far is X b/c I picked Chespin and did NOT...

In all likelihood, Nintendo's next system would probably be base PS4 levels of power. And while we've seen plenty of multiplat games come to the Switch, there's still a fair amount it's left behind. The next system being more powerful would make those kind of ports more realistic. So what games...

When your game discs or cartridges stop working, or even when your console stops reading games, what did you end up doing with them? If you try to get them fixed but to no avail, what happens then? You can talk about both in the past and nowadays if there's a difference.

I saw an image of them together and thought I'd make a quick thread. Out of the two special bundles that Wind Waker came w/, which one would you pick over the other if you had the chance? It can be for whatever reason

I swear I see this phrase thrown out to any old game. So it got me thinking what you guys think qualifies a game to "deserve a remake"? Especially over a port or remaster. Should a game that "deserves" one change things up to give a different experience or stay as intact as possible? But also if...

Some franchises have a cute mascot character to represent their games. There's a lot of iconic ones out there like Moogles from Final Fantasy or even Pikachu himself. Which one is your favorite? I'm probably the most partial to Shin Megami Tensei's Jack Frost

Growing up, I basically never heard my parents use any harsh language. That I know of anyway, they had to have at some point. And I say that b/c since becoming an adult, they began to use those words a lot more commonly, especially my dad who says certain words pretty casually. I guess it's neat...

We all have our share of blind spots in our gaming history that we may or may not want to fill. That said, what are some of your gaps that you actually have an interest in correcting? It could a game series or genre you think you should be into but haven't played yet, or even gaming hardware/a...

The implication that since this is the first Ganondorf, that he's been deep underground Hyrule during the entirety of the series besides SS, and could theoretically have been reawakened at any time, even while there was another Ganondorf running around.

The topic of gaming going all digital has been around for a while, and w/ digital only versions of modern platforms existing, it seems like it's steadily heading there. So when do you guys expect for this to happen? Next gen, the one after, or might you think it'll still take longer than that?

There's always been talk on how much of a damsel Zelda has been in modern games, so now I'll just ask, which games do you think feature her in her best roles? I imagine Spirit Tracks is a top one despite not having played it myself.

I've seen talk online of people seeing this as a pattern, and now there's the expectation that the next Nintendo Direct (in however long it'll be) might have another case of a GameCube rerelease being shadowdropped or just shown off. Do you guys think it's a mistake to expect this and it's just...

I'm wondering w/ the amount of games that have come out in the past several years alongside just how many video games have already been around in general, where do you see yourself cutting off in the amount of video games you want to own? Will you ever draw the line at some point or is it a non...

https://mynintendonews.com/2023/05/16/aonuma-finds-ocarina-of-time-format-a-bit-restricting-now-will-continue-with-breath-of-the-wild-tears-of-kingdom-format/ Not exactly something I wanted to hear, any thoughts?

This had come to mind for me w/ a few games. Say there's an old game you've been meaning to play that had gotten some kind of enhanced re-release (remaster, remake, etc.), but the original game is much cheaper and you have a means to play that one. Which one would you generally go for? And as...

Are there any franchises you guys are a fan of where you've come to realize you enjoy the spin off games more than the main games it spawned from?

Do you guys think there'll be any more big updates for NSO anytime soon? We finally got Game Boy and GBA for standard and expansion, but I have to wonder if there's anything else in store for it. We'll likely get more DLC to come on the expansion pak for whichever given game at some point, and...

I'm wondering what you guys think the future holds for 3d Zelda. Do you think there's at all a chance for us to see the old style of 3d Zelda games again? Or is open world now and forever how 3d Zelda games will play like? Additionally, how much would you want to see the old style to stick...

I don't know, you guys got a better name? I've always liked them all well enough, but I think these days I'm leaning more on Pauline. Could it be recency bias? Maybe, but her being my most picked character in Mario Golf Super Rush has got to count for something. And even going on 6 years after...

Say there's a game you've been meaning to play, but for some reason or another, key story elements or even the whole story of it was spoiled for you. Would that dissuade you from playing it, or would you still want to try it out for the act of playing the game itself? This happened to me a few...

I imagine it's more likely to know someone who's played an M-rated game before they actually turned 17 than not. So I wonder, what was the story with you guys when you played your first M rated game? Which game was it, how'd it happen, and did your parents know if you were under 17? If you know...

I've been seeing a lot of people for a while now say it's time to move on from Switch and we need better hardware, even though we're barely coming up on 6 years. And maybe this is just Switch specifically b/c it was already pretty weak when it was new, but it's interesting to see the differences...

What are some settings in games that you find the most fascinating? Not just individual locations but the overall setting the game takes place in, though the locations can be a factor to why. But I'm thinking about the premise of the setting to be exact. What brought this in mind is Cocoon and...

There's been a lot of loose story threads that Zelda has left open over the past games. So I'm wondering if you guys are still hoping for any of them to come up again. Stuff like seeing what happened to Link after Majora's Mask, if Midna ever comes back, or the whole story with the Hyrulean...

Do you guys have any particular favorite dynamic duos/partner characters in gaming?

A humongous amount for sure. Wherever you place Botw (downfall timeline for me), it's obviously the furthest point in Zelda chronology. So just kind of making this thread to see if anyone wants to take a stab at how long the gap is b/w both games. Tricky part is the undefined time frame b/w...

Out of all the franchises you've played over the years, which ones have stood as some of your favorites? And if you want, maybe a couple sentences to why its one of your favorites. The list is unordered but it's going in descending order. And I wouldn't even say these are set in stone, just what...

The last original overhead Zelda was A Link B/w Worlds (and that other one), while the last one in general was the Link's Awakening remake. Discounting any thoughts for remakes, how would you want the next original 2d Zelda to look like? We'll certainly get one sooner or later (really hoping...

We're 5 and a half years into the lifespan and there still hasn't been a sign of there being a Nintendo Selects line. So I was wondering what you guys thought. Do you think we'll even get Nintendo Selects at all? Any titles you're hoping to see get a permanent discount price at some point?

Let's hear some stories about how you guys came to own the consoles you currently have. If you went through multiple ones of the same console, you can mention how got your first one and how you got your current one. GameCube: My brother had one that I played on a lot, but for some reason it...

I've seen people talk every now and then about how they do annual playthroughs of a certain game. Whether it's for a holiday/season or it's one of their favorite games they like to come back to. What about you guys? Are there any games you try to play yearly? Even if you skip a year or two you...

Have you ever been a fan of a series that started to go in a direction you didn't like, dropped in quality, or you just got plain tired of? Pokemon is definitely one for me, I was into it for the entirety of 2013, but then the repetitive nature of the games started to wear me down and by the...

Have you guys ever had any experience with any bootleg systems? There's tons and tons of them over the years of varying quality that I wonder if some of you guys encountered some. When I was around 8, we had one called the Power Joy or something that was one of those plug n play systems that...

There's a few examples I have for this so you can know what I'm talking about. Dragon Quest 11 came out on PS4, then an improved version came out on Switch called Dragon Quest 11 S: Derfnrt4hfthurfbvgve Edition. That version then came to PS4, but when it did, the original DQ11 was delisted. To...

This popped up in my mind, news for a Nintendo Direct is something we all follow and look forward to, but what was your first one ever? How'd you hear about it and what did you understand it to be vs what it actually was? I've actually been following directs since the very beginning. I can't...

Say hypothetically for whatever astronomical reasons, new video games stopped coming out tomorrow. Like if a video game-hating coronal mass ejection came from the sun and hit Earth and wiped all data for new games currently in production, do you think you'd be fine with the games you currently...
