Nintendo adventures, and Zelda games in particular, are always very precise tangles, designed to be navigated in a certain way. It's that precision more than anything that excites Eurogamer's gaming senses. When it all comes together, and the jingle plays, it's hard not to smile. If Phantom Hourglass is the cleverest yet, and Eurogamer thinks it probably is, it's because it does so much to convince them it's gone beyond that, even though it's basically the same old idea.
Zelda games are all incredible, but the series shines particularly bright on handhelds.
The future could be filled with revived Nintendo DS classics. Hopefully it happens!
My kid yesterday proclaimed he liked the DS more than the Switch because the controls work on the go. Then I asked if he would rather have Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Steam or Switch and he chose Steam. So proud!
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has been registered and trademarked in Australia. What does this mean for the franchise on its 35th anniversary? Will we be getting a remake of this DS classic?
It would need to be completely redone if it is coming to the Switch. Those touch controls would make it impossible in docked mode.
Who says nintendo has to go to the trouble of making it playable docked. Could just tell everyone to play handheld. They're nintendo after all. I've seen ppl defend nintendo for less so don't say it couldn't happen lol
A port would be a lot better than using the awful stylus movement on DS, be cool if they did the same for spirit tracks.
I sincerely disagree. I'd maybe give it a 6 or 7, but never a 9. The stylus controls are cool, but they fail miserably when you most need them.
