After the stirring New Releases and News segments of the podcast, Jonah, Jesse, Adam & Adam 2 bust into the games they’ve been playing this week. Most of the guys have been playing through The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, though Adam 2 still doesn’t quite see the appeal of 3D Zelda games. Not that kind of the 3D, but the other kind.
Jesse and Adam gave the Sonic Generations demo several playthroughs, and Jesse even booted up Sonic 4 to make a more accurate comparison as to why this one is good and that one was terrible. Jesse also talks about his most recent import (it isn’t a SHMUP this time) Danball Senki, which is like Pokémon except for the parts that are nothing like it. After his brief love affair with GO Series: Picdun, Adam decided to give GO Series: Captain Sub a try, with sexy results. Not to be outdone, Adam 2 gives us the low down on Frozen Synapse, as well as Super Bat Puncher and Super Puzzle Platformer.
All this and more on Barrel Roll! Episode #122, “Metroidaster Master”.
BLG writes, "There are many fantastic and iconic weapons in game history, but some are significantly more memorable than others. When we think of iconic game weapons, these are the top 20 that come to mind."
You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.
Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."
The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..
I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.
I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.
but still considered the best of the seties.
i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.
25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.
Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted 25 years ago, forever changing the face of video games and becoming a legend of its own.
I used a guide to beat part of it but some of the rest myself, still enjoyed it regardless. Too bad they didn't stick with this kind of gameplay for the rest of the series as I would prefer it over what they're doing now.
A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.
I played through OoT so many times on the 64, then I bought it on the 3DS before the Eshop shut down. I wish we could have a Zelda collection like we did for Mario, I still can't believe that never happened.
