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.
I have that game. 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.
