Amazon cancelled my limited edition Art and Artifcats book. Issues with supplier they say.

Standard edition it is then. They did that with The Sky (Yohitaka Amano) and that sold out everywhere so I ended up with the smaller reissue. Oh well.

You can use it for all games

Aye, but one use.

Aye, it had previously been a one use Thing but they changed it

You get discounts for what are essentially achievements on My Nintendo.

It's only for the mobiles games atm but it'll be interesting to see of Switch games start giving us My Nintendo points.

I really didn't get far with Twilight Princess when I played it on GC.

You are correct WW is the best. Anyone who disagrees doesn't like colours and is therefore a massive racist.

TP is also very underrated. Part Of The problem is the motion controls are a bit shit and that is how most played it.

Racist

WW's combat was good, not so much the rest.

Remember the deku tree area, that was nice.

Getting fired out of a cannon at the fort - not sure about that, but memorable. Very much a cartoon.

And
The presentation was nice for combat - musical, flashes.
And the deku tree area etc, but for me prevented immersion.

But the thing often seemingly ignored by those that say that people that didn't like WW had a superficial objection to the presentation - is it's not just skin deep.
The gameplay fits the graphics. It's a much lighter, more slapstick game.

Give me OoT magic over that any day.

Yeah I don't think anyone plays Zelda games for challenge much. I don't remember ever being challenged but I haven't played the first two.

The eleven year old played The Legend of Zelda for the first time the other day. He quit after less than five minutes because "I didn't know what to do because it didn't tell me."


I despair.

This has always been something of interest to me.

My nephew is utter dog shit at platformers, he got stuck on World 2 of NSMBU.

I was lost for words when he told me.

Plays FPS and GTA with no problems but can't get past a few well placed Goombas.

Also: zelda 1 is pretty rubbish tbh. There's a class of people that imagined they beat games by themselves when they were probably mooching strategies off people who bought Nintendo power or paid for the expensive helpline.

I remember cheating to finish Monkey Island on the Amiga.  I couldn't get the recipe right on act II.  I can't remember how I got the solution though, I didn't buy any multiformat mags at the time. 

I put my shift in during the stuck-for-ages era, this counter-intuitive brick-wall bastard, for example:



I've played subsequent games consistently though, as the medium moved on, which coupled with the gradual dulling of the ZOMG VIDYAGAEMS feeling have robbed me of any patience I had to learn as a youngster (because they're mercifully built with minimal frustration in mind).  If I'm stuck on a puzzle for long I'll often cheat, and if routes weren't clearly signposted in an adventure game I'd probably play something else.  Games can still be tough, but even the toughest are more like Snakes & Ladders than back to square one.  Super Meat Boy is far trickier than Super Ghouls n Ghosts, but you can run out of continues in the latter so it's a much harder game, if played as it was intended.  Some of the titles we grew up with were evil.    

Bit of a tangent, sorry.

Me too and I only got around to playing it a few years ago. I think it even resulted in a wtf phone call to moot.
