crazy how well this game is selling, considering its a game boy remake.

Neonridr1668d ago

it was a fantastic game, even on Game Boy.

Nyxus1668d ago

My second favorite game of all time (the DX version).

Kribwalker1668d ago

i bought a copy and played it over the weekend. It’s fantastic

GameBoyColor1668d ago

Well deserved, it was the right game to remake at this point in time.

EddieNX 1668d ago

Yep and opens the door for remakes of all the other handheld Zeldas. The Oracle games and Minish Cap are incredible, the DS games are great as well.

Araragifeels 1668d ago

I would love a Minish Cap Remake for the Switch. I am hoping that Zelda is not the only game from Nintendo that get Remakes since I would love more Metroid Remakes too.

People buy Switch games in physical format because it saves storage space. If you could compare digital numbers this article wouldn't exist.

Maybe you should do some research. Link’s Awakening file size is around 6GB. Let’s not act like that size is huge or something.

Never played the original as a kid, have not touched my switch for ages (only bought it for BOTW) but now after playing this game I'm well into the switch. Buying mario kart, mario odyssey and looking forward to BOTW2 and luigis mansion 3

Three houses and Astral chain are also great games.

Where the Heck is Ni No Kuni 3, Mun?

Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."

While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?

phoenixwing93d ago

I thought the dev recently went mobile and Japan only. They shut down their American offices. So don't expect anything for consoles

shinoff218392d ago (Edited 92d ago )

I swear they just announced a few new games.

phoenixwing92d ago

I stand corrected then. Never heard about these games and also i just remember ni no kuni online being mobile only.

Michiel198992d ago

they said a loooooong time ago that Level 5 was working on a new installment but there has been no news since afaik. I just hope that they take more inspiration from 1 than 2, especially when it comes to the story.

thorstein91d ago

Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.

It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.

Yeah the sequel was okay but had nothing on the first game, especially the battle system.

The story just didn't have that charm and even the twist at the end of the game wasn't really anything cool like Wrath of the White Witch.

Also the fact there was like ZERO mention of Oliver or his adventures in the game, no references, nothing was such weird. It's set a hundred or so years after but still, I'd have expected to seen some throw backs. I think we just got like a temple with his statue in it or something.

goldwyncq92d ago

If you want more Oliver, just watch the movie.

shinoff218392d ago

Fking word. I've been hoping for this for quite some time.

melons92d ago

The premium games didn't sell amazingly, right?

shinoff218392d ago

Not to sure. They should of though. They were pretty good. I like both.

Michiel198992d ago

yeah, especially outside of japan. They should have released on pc at the same time as the ps3 version or a short time after.

Inverno92d ago

They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!

"Borderlands 3: Ultimate Edition" (Switch) Review \\ paulsemel

Though far from the best version, this does a mostly good job of bringing this snarky sci fi shooter to the Switch.
