  this version sounds nice, but part of me does prefer the "original" SNES soundtrack I may have the story wrong, but I believe this is the version that appeared in the game when it was rented via an ancient and short-lived Nintendo Online service

  I don't mean to be a Nintendo-focused gamer. Like I want a PS5 and Steam Deck so bad, but they seem pretty hard to get still + cost is an issue. I'd also love a PC but I'm either going to have to build my own or find $1000-$2000 for a pre-built one. I love video games though 🥲

  @voxelhero gotcha. I feel they're all aiming for different objectives. Microsoft: Loss leader and creating an enticing service to gain back market share and want people to migrate or have as secondary Sony: consolidated their multiple services since Now was dead Nintendo: nickle n dime BC

  @Pocketninja85 @StarkyVash I've been looking into it and they seem to be taking the Nintendo route but online only. So expect it to be more of a "curated classics" kinda list. Hopefully sony address the "online" issue because that will be a deal breaker for alot of people!

  It's just funny to share that outdated quote when half of Nintendo's major releases on Switch have been incomplete games that they release "Free Content Updates" for to pretend it is a service. Splatoon, ARMS, Star Allies, Tennis/Golf, New Horizons, some of SSBU' features...

  The Big 3 doing all they can to be crowned the worst I can't believe it. Sony with this bullshit, Microsoft refusing to fix ActivisionBlizzard and Nintendo being Nintendo lmao

  My heart is broken. The only thing that was going to be good in 2022 was Zelda BOTW 2. By 2023 who knows if I will even still be here. I am going to go cry in the corner of my shower now. I'm emo af. Big L for me today. Thanks Nintendo. Insert sad emoji or meme here.

  @EpicGames help me fix my sons Epic account for his Nintendo Switch. Please. I’ve basically ruined his life.

  @PlayStation This is more like a Nintendo Switch Online competitor than a GamePass Competitor, locking older games ala Nintendo behind a subscription service with NSO comes to mind.

  @kingsoy_ bdsp's issues were embarrassing for pokemon imo. and pla was fun, but it also feels just like an extended tech demo and has issues like plants not being in the ground and flat jpg ground texture. it's just so strange how while it's essentially a nintendo series

  @chav760 @JAAY_ROCK_ Microsoft is on a another level then Sony. MS isn't really competing with Sony anymore, they compete with bigger fish. Sony and Nintendo doin sowell is great. Sony pays MS billions to rent the servers that Sony onli e service runs on, plus a the MONEY COD on Sony will generate

  @KanePlaysGames Nintendo really upsets me with the way they lock down old titles. Nintendo remasters suck, and a REMAKE isn’t the same experience, so we stuck playing illegally. I haven’t tried the new retro service bc I also heard the performance sucks!!!

  @itbetheplantman @NintendoAmerica You pay 50 bucks a year for a non-functional Online service with 2002 features and yet you are here.

  Kane Hocking (@KanePlaysGames) reported 41 minutes ago

  @arcaneamber Honestly my biggest gripe with it is that companies just refuse to work with the people already doing a lot of the heavy lifting for them. It's more of an issue with Nintendo who would make BANK off of it but to me these people are already doing the work, let them work with you.

  @SkitbitThe @PlayerEssence It's more a general problem that games are getting so complex they take 6-7 years to make. Majora's Mask was brilliant and was out 2 years after OOT, but I realize that time is never coming back. Maybe Nintendo should have 2 Zelda teams to get an entry out every 3-4 years.

  and another reason why being a fanboy of sony microsoft or nintendo is ******* dumb, fanboys just LOVE to defend companies that make bad decisions and deny problems and never call them out on their bullshit, **** cloud gaming.

  @NintendoAmerica If you're also going to bring BotW2 to the new Switch 4K, I have no problem with this delay. I'm confident is going to be a masterpiece like BotW, so I'll just wait for it. No need to rush things, we have plenty of examples of why it's a bad idea to do that.

  @homiefranz @macaiyla @NintendoAmerica On that I can't tell, I haven't played anything online by Nintendo yet. But ER's PvP is absolutely broken from what I've heard on discord. Madness Incantations, Wondrous Physick, Bleed, Havel monsters...

  @NintendoAmerica Well, it's ok. I would rather have a good polished game then a game that is broken and unplayable.

  @NintendoAmerica That means in 2023 still not next gen switch? Nintendo are too greedy , graphics are more than important, your game are good but ugly and it's outrageous for a billions dollars company to deliver such poor technical quality games with lag frame rates etc ...

  @SolaceAndDread @NintendoAmerica That said, releasing this year as intended would not be "rushed". It would still have been the longest gap between Zelda releases ever. They aren't rushing it, but they sure as hell are taking their sweet time, which can also be bad or indicative of bad problems internally.
