Re: 449: Super Mario Odyssey

My take on Odyssey is that it's a grand, beautiful adventure, with a long list of wins, but with one major gripe. Starting with the gripe: I wish all of that end-game content was in the actual game. I could have made for a lush, giant quest while still keeping the optional moons scattered along the ...

Re: Our next Console Special No.8 - recording late March 2020 - Nintendo Super Famicom (SNES)

My favorite Christmas of all time was 1991, the year that the movie 'Hook' came out, my family was nearly homeless, but my mom still scraped enough money together to buy me a Super Nintendo. Having grown up into video games with the NES, the Super Nintendo was a must-have for my Mario- and Zelda-lov...

Re: 360: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

The Legend of Zelda needed a breath(!) of fresh air. Yes, the series is beloved and usually successful for Nintendo. And yes, there were experiments with A Link Between Worlds and Spirit Tracks . But the item-dungeon-beat the boss rinse/repeat cycle, along with the hand holding, were getting tired. ...

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

The post-GTA 3 and Morrowind open world games feel like set dressing and background scenery, in comparison to this very tangible and texturous version of Hyrule. It's tough to go back to these "open world" games, even past Zelda games, where not every inch is explorable/climbable. It's so...

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Since May, when I picked up the Switch, it's been the summer of Zelda for me, and it's all Breath of the Wild 's fault. I love Zelda games, but this has been a wonderful experience – something I haven't felt since I first played A Link to the Past when it first came out as a kid. That game changed m...

Re: The "Introduce yourself" thread

Hello from Michigan! Fairly new listener here – got pulled into Breath of the Wild hard, and started to relive the old LoZs thanks to Cane and Rinse shows. It's been a lot of fun to go back to games I've enjoyed over the years. Really looking forward to the BoTW show when it comes out. Also, I reall...
