Let me know in the comments if there’s anything missing or mistake in the post, or if you would like any change.
*: No official news about US prices for Pokémon (that I could find), this is based on UK prices.
We got a new 2D Zelda? Which one was that?
A full year with only Mario Kart as the big title (I don’t even play that game) feels bad. Hoping for a more timely release of Mario.
The Legends of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
Well, DK Bananza is also a big title, and we should be getting Pokémon and Metroid Prime 4 too. Not to mention Drag x Drive, Hyrule Warriors and Kirby Air Riders. So don’t think we would be getting anything big this year. Would glad be to wrong though.
Is that considered 2D? Maybe 2.5D? At least. I dunno.
But yeah, to me the “big games” are Mario and Zelda. 😅 They are the only reasons I buy Nintendo hardware. Very subjective. Sure DK Bananza is a big one too that I might consider.
Well, by 2D I meant the top-down kind of Zelda, like A Link to the Past or Link’s Awakening.
And yeah, if you want those, you can wait a while to get it.
