Finally the Legend of Link : A Zelda to the Past

[@starpetalarts6668]

hmm... 🤓Awckshually it's Legend of Link: Zelda's Asleep Still Dreaming

[@bombombalu]

It was "the missing link" in the series.

[@Rob_Enhoud]

The Nintendo World Championships being subtitled NES Edition makes me think they've at least got a SNES version cooking too.

[@Stephmz26]

I was thinking the same thing !

[@Ryu]

that would be insanely cool

[@plop2186]

👀👀

[@Retro6502]

One thing I'm surprised no one's mentioned since the leak a few weeks ago is that it's ESRB rating includes the "In-Game Purchases" tag. They're definitely planning to sell some kind of DLC.

[@thefutureismeaninglessthep7364]

​@@Retro6502this feels like the kind of stuff that only 3 people care about when it's first spotted but then everybody complains whenever it actually releases, as all the people who knew just stare on annoyed.

[@kravor5341]

Ryu desperate to keep calling new games remakes, never change Ryu 🤣🤣

[@TheUltimateRare]

to be fair he never played mario and luigi soooo...

[@valentds]

to be fair this is the era with remakes, especially mario snes rpg and paper mario 2

[@trollponch]

Tbf he is pretty distant from the average nintendo fanatic. Specially for someone that plays so much mario games.

[@bradharrah3339]

And many of the new games either follow the style of recent, related remakes...or they are intended to fit the look of the series. I think Mario & Luigi looks better than DS, but it might look like what you IMAGINE the DS looks like.

[@CreepyNoodles69]

Sticking so close to the classic artstyle of Mario & Luigi is so awesome.

[@Dante-xv2hr]

I can’t imagine how insane a Mario Kart Maker will be. I hope I get to see that in my lifetime.

[@B1u35ky]

Perfect Dark was literally a spiritual successor to Goldeneye because they didn’t have the James Bond license

[@c.jshinhawk2464]

With the reload feature. It was a underrated game

[@pressplaytoresume]

Time Splitters took the torch and ran with it though, those games were so good. There's an indie team working on remakes - but it's been a fairly slow process. Hopping to see them finished in 2025

[@roba_2998]

I can’t believe you’ve never played any of the Mario and Luigi games. Some of my favorite games ever. Definitely worth a try man

[@itsthinking9999]

He never played any of the metroid prime games, as he thought metroid prime 4 is a remake. This guy is a fake

[@starpetalarts6668]

Mario and Luigi graphics aren't old they're classic Mario and Luigi.

[@Ryu]

classic... so... old? hahaha

[@TheUltimateRare]

Ryu was expecting 4k graphics but forgot it's switch :o

[@terrycullen3302]

@@Ryu Dude, it's not old. None of the previous Mario games looked like this.

[@fawfulthegreat64]

@@Ryu All of the previous Mario & Luigi games were sprite-based and only used 3D models in certain cutscenes, this was basically aiming to retain the charm of that with full 3D models, so it uses cartoony shaders and outlines. I'd recommend checking em out, if you like Mario RPG and seem to be enjoying TTYD, you'll love the classic M&L games and this one's looking to be a great sequel to them.

[@dylanrogers8660]

​@@Ryu why u being a dick lol.

[@darklorddisco]

Doing a rain dance for Friday community Mario Party streams once the new one drops!

[@Ryu]

sounds like a GREAT idea

[@SevenGC89]

With the amount you love Mario RPG and RPGs in general I'm very shocked you haven't played Mario and Luigi rpg games (Superstar Saga, Bowsers inside story) highly highly recommend

[@ferndog321]

Definitely should since he's such an RPG type of man 🙌

[@SilvieSteam]

Don't forget dream team, arguably as good as BIS

[@dillpickle5423]

I agree, def should

[@gurvmlk]

@@SilvieSteam I both agree, but also disagree. Agree in that Dream Team was my favorite, so is definitely worth mentioning, but disagree in that I really didn't like Bowser's Inside Story all that much. Not that I disliked it, but there were certain aspects of it that really dragged it down for me. Especially in the replay department, and I value replayability almost more than the enjoyment of a game's first run when it comes to judging whether or not I like a game.

[@noysam3570]

​@gurvmlk dream team is far less repayable lmao

[@YS92651]

Need a DKC2 and DKC3 remake.

[@Ryu]

word

[@drewfromyay882]

I'd rather just get a sequel like Tropical Freeze

[@Tristan-mv6lc]

That wasn't a dkc1 remake

[@starpetalarts6668]

I have a dream game idea of a DKC collection... You can toggle Original, 2D-HD, or Tropical Freeze's engine graphics. You then can play through the levels as all 4 Kongs, but they have the GBA additional content... and new Kong Banana bunches that can be collected by accessing top secret areas with Dixie Kong in DKC, Kiddie Kong in DKC2, and Donkey Kong in DKC3. Finding all the secrets, 100%ing the games, and the Top Secrets will get you DKC levels unique to this version of the game and be able to play as Funky Kong across the first three games. So it's a collection, a remake, and a new game all in one.

[@TheUltimateRare]

a sequel to Donkey kong 64 would be great. imagine how good they could make it these days.

[@raptorprimal1077]

For context that villain with the green line on his face of prime 4 is sylux, basically the boba fett/transformers lockdown of the metroid universe. An enemy bounty hunter

[@sebastianvega4576]

perfect dark and golden eye on the N64 are running on the same game engine. they do not only look similar, they also play very much alike

[@TimedRevolver]

They even brought over several guns from Goldeneye into Perfect Dark. Think most are only available via in-game unlockable cheats, though.

[@dillondank5662]

Ryu so excited he's pre-ordering live on stream instead of reacting lol

[@DudeSean]

I'm glad to see someone else excited about Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition.

[@jenna1337]

Metroid Prime 4 finally. Now we just need Hollow Knight Silksong

what the hell mario &luigi looks very good

[@andrewericdavison]

Ryu needs his eyes checked, it’s very pretty for switch lol

[@2ndBreakfassst]

Metroid fan, can confirm, freaking out

[@thenonexistinghero]

Can't say I'm freaking out. In terms of graphics it's a little bit better, but in terms of gameplay there was 0 new things. Everything they showed was pretty much exactly the same as other Prime games. And in terms of environment they didn't really show anything all that special either. And that overview shot at the end ah... doesn't even look quite as impressive as the environment of Xenoblade Chronicles X, a 2015 Wii U game. I mean, it could be an amazing game. But this trailer was complete garbage.

[@2ndBreakfassst]

@@thenonexistinghero not literally freaking out, just excited about having a new prime game to play. I'm withholding judgement on the graphics/new things because it's just a teaser for an unfinished title; release will probably look better than the footage. I agree it didn't give us much, but it seems like the point was to show it's real, even if unfinished .

[@Stratelier]

@@thenonexistinghero In the trailer's defense, it appeared to be the game's prologue sequence (not unlike the action-heavy prologue of Prime 3).

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@Stratelier That's also why I'm unimpressed. They haven't shown anything unique to Prime 4. For a Nintendo trailer, it was just bad. Nintendo usually focuses on showcasing new things in trailers and what the game's actually about.

[@SilvioSouzaJr]

Ryu, you should do a series with the Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga that is within the Nintendo Switch Online for the GBA

[@drewfromyay882]

Im hyped to finally get the Marvel v Capcom series on console. Ive waited over a decade for this.

[@franzise3605]

Man, I know the series isn't for everyone but seeing Ryu insta-skip Ace Attorney but not the dumb Funko Pop game was a little painful For real though pretty awesome Direct, lot of good stuff coming, always wanted to play DQ3 but I'm not sure if I can justify paying $60 for an NES game with better graphics...

[@bradharrah3339]

It's such a classic, though. And it was the epic one of the three...though wonder what new players would think. Also, curious how much these remakes stick to the originals or update things.

[@retelefe]

The fanmade Mario 64 builder is Mario Maker 3

[@OnTheRide1]

4:32 my reaction as well 🤣

[@Deadcheese12]

The "Starting off strong!" into the "yeah I don't think so." That was so damn funny hahaha! I was like yeaaaa SKIP ⏩

[@noahholscher]

Mario Party Streams coming our way

[@unclejoker9975]

17:42 That's what I was thinking.

[@jenna1337]

21:34 that Bowser chasing all the players makes me think that mode is like Fall Guys, but Mario

[@cratty16]

There actually had a similar mode like that on the WiiU Mario party

[@pressplaytoresume]

If Nintendo made a fall guys game I'd play so much of it. Fall guys is fun, but having Nintendo themed courses and obstacles/enemies would be so good.

[@cynderkiryah1215]

Well the Hello Kitty Island Adventure didn't look like total hot garbage, like some games do these days like Rise of Kong and Lord of the Rings Golleum. Going to have to bring out the Wii U to play Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

[@RockEsper]

Dude if you like classic RPGs like FF1, you owe it to yourself to try Dragon Quest 3. Many would call it the pinnacle of NES RPGs

[@superstarultra]

2:12 This guy needs to get his eyes checked

[@assil555]

i mean from a logical stand point...even the artstyle looks a bit outdated for the time we are in.

[@superstarultra]

@@assil555 What are you expecting, us to see every single thread on Mario's overalls?

[@gurvmlk]

@@assil555 Art styles don't become outdated.

[@unhappimess]

I’m ready for some Super Mario Party Jamboree Fridays. Also KNEW Nintendo World Championships NES Edition would scratch that Mario 35 itch. Excited for DK, too! This Direct was a pleasant surprise.

[@wizulus]

Another LEGEND OF ZELDA?!?! Already?! 🤯

[@cheeeeezewizzz]

First truly new 2d one in a long time. Looks good. I'll be playing that one for sure.

[@Night-Jester]

Thanks Ryu I didn't want to watch alone. Lotta cool stuff in this one.

[@andreweverett]

I am excited to watch you play the world Championships!

[@tyler_liwan5]

I went crazy when they announced the new Mario & Luigi game and the DKC Returns Remaster

[@mlcbiggerman]

Perfect Dark is Goldeneye on steroids. The story isn’t based on a film and is more interesting. Plus the weapons (with each having a secondary function) are more diverse and fun to experiment with. I’ve been hoping for so long that one day Nintendo would bring it back.

[@kallusive8986]

LOL.

[@gustintendo40]

Let’s just hope it runs at more than like 8 fps

[@florisvanderveen2375]

It is cool that you can play perfect dark online

[@Legion17]

Agreed. As good as Goldeneye was, Perfect Dark was better in every way.

[@florisvanderveen2375]

I mean online against other People

[@scottymclaren3582]

Nobody is talking about Street Fighter Vs X-Men! I’m so stoked to see that!

[@Stratelier]

So that new Zelda trailer ... you gotta admit, technically Link did save the princess... Also, looks like you can only create up to 4 echoes (metered by the triangles trailing behind Tri), and some objects may have a higher "cost" than others.

[@zabwazowski5216]

Hoping one day that Pizza tower gets ported to switch so Ryu might wanna give it a shot. Genuinely one of the best platformers out there

[@natusvincere966]

If you've never played Dragon Quest/Warrior before, I still recommend playing I then II then III. Or at least play I before III.

[@gurvmlk]

I agree, because spoiler warning for those who haven't: The surprise ending of the third game pretty much rides on you having played the previous two games. It would be like watching the Star Wars movies in chronological order, and expecting to still be surprised when Darth Vader reveals his identity to Luke. The games are narratively designed to be played in release order, otherwise you miss out on the build-up to the third game's ending.

[@deheavon6670]

MVC got me into fighting games as a kid, glad to see it back. A strong recommend for anyone with even a passing interest in FGs.

[@mikeriewaldt2921]

It's a sequel to "Super Mario Party" which came after "Mario Party Superstars" that's why. So many big releases!

[@mattb6522]

Good Direct! Lots of great stuff! Yeah, I've heard Nintendo never liked Conker's Bad Fur Day even after it launched on the N64, so the odds of it ever getting re-released on a Nintendo console are like slim to none. They want to pretend it never existed.

[@sambajane]

Ryu..... Fantasian is a Hironobu Sakaguchi-helmed joint.. imagine if Final Fantasy continued with him directing.... and all the environments are snapshots of hand-made paper dioramas, like in a throwback to the pre-rendered background style

[@DallasTheGreat28]

I still want a zelda game with Zelda as Sheik in a metal gear style zelda game.

[@SurroundSoundSinger]

Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link

[@sqwimpy-4]

No way in hell Among us got in a Nintendo Direct

[@kadoharp]

I remember playing the Mario and Luigi games on the 3DS with my brother and we loved them, I’m super excited to play this new one with him too

[@twig-e6431]

Ahhh...I never subscribed on here, so I should. I always love your reactions and MM2 shenanies!

[@HarmonicWave]

For some reason I still don't have the N64 update. The GBA update worked like usual but the N64 app says it's up to date and yet there's nothing new, no Turok and no Perfect Dark.

[@lepiaf6452]

*Mario Kart Maker when?* 😅

[@starpetalarts6668]

This would actually be a great way to sell me MK9. Take inspiration from games like Hot Wheels Unleashed and Trackmania

[@Phillyj25]

I knew u would be hyped for the NES world championships that’s right up your alley. I read about it weeks ago and I thought about how good u would be at that shit. Can’t wait to watch u compete!!

[@Cramack]

BRO! Convince me this "Farmagia" game isn't Nintendo's kid friendly, copyright friendly version of palworld. 9:00

[@Merennulli]

I've been wanting a Zelda game with this premise since the SNES era. Each of the games, especially LTTP, tell us how she's so powerful but we never got to play with that power. Really looking forward to it.

[@kennymichaelalanya7134]

I'm hyped for the Dragon quest HD 2D remake. I'm just missing the 4th entry of the series.

[@rufust33333333333333]

I remember the Nintendo championship Nintendo 3ds

[@TheDarkLink7]

Ya donno how happy I was when I had seen "Cosmic Year 20X9." Cause Metroid is the only one that does that game speaking. Other may do it but not like how Metroid does it.

[@gurvmlk]

"What is this?" *skips it* Well that's certainly not going to answer your question.

[@donadavs]

I've been hoping for a zelda game where you play as both zelda AND link back and forth in different segments of the story, and in the end can tag team between them. This is one step closer at least :^\

[@user-it7bv9fz9q]

32:03 "Is this Mario Maker 3?" NO ITS MARIO MAKER 88!!!!

[@GiggaVega]

Very interesting take. I watched your vid to get a second perspective before I did my video. Just dance 2025 lol 😂 My top Game from the showcase is Metroid Prime 4. Mario Party looks fun with friends or family. Mario and Luigi… nah 😂 Great work as always Ryu. 🎉

[@arrenmund8732]

Legend of Link: A Zelda to the Past! Let’s gooooo.

[@ThegrandKrild]

Mario & Luigi is the best thing this years has in rpg And nobody can prove me wrong

[@OzoneGamerStation]

Not Ryu disrespecting how the New M&L looks. It looks awesome! The graphics are obviously an upgrade from the handheld games since it’s on home console.

[@shavingIt4Later]

I love that you skipped the most of the games i didnt care about either lmao. Freakn legend! Most youtubers dont and have us suffer thru the nonsense lmao. Love the honest review and stoked for these

Metal Slug attack was a really good phone game for a train ride or something. Too bad the servers were shut down some day

He should play some of the older Mario and Luigi games if he like Mario rpg

[@greateststam1]

22:20 but thats the problem. Superstars SHOULD have been this. And unless Jamboree keeps sustained hype for a long time after release i probably wont touch it.

[@dannytranvan]

I am mostly excited for the Mario and Luigi game. I thought that series died out every since the development company filed for bankrupt! Good to see there's a continuation of this series where I can continue enjoying that turn-based rpg style game!

[@krisfrederick5001]

The Legend of Nintendo...they were born in 1889. Long before TV''s did you know?

[@bradharrah3339]

It's interesting to see which ones you're psyched about, versus those you can't be bothered with...you were more excited by the Capcom/Marvel and Championship than others, but you're clearly not too much of an RPG guy...or maybe it's just the cute ones you don't like. Or Hobbits. Looking forward to your Just Dance streams, tho...

[@silverwolflee6978]

How could he skip Hello Kitty Adventure? Apparently it was pretty good on Apple Arcade as a Animal Crossing styled game

Just so you know. Metroid Prime 4 looked like a remake because they used the same engine they used for Metroid Prime 1 remaster

[@gertjanvandenbroek1620]

Inb4 you beat the zelda game final boss by creating a load of link echoes

i somehow doubt link will be apart of the game at all. except the opening movie.

[@universalgames2901]

Notice the Mario & Luigi’s graphics look alot more like the Game Thumbnails of the 3DS/DS versions?? Seems like they’re trying make that accurate. I hope for some more Mario & Luigi games

[@JetBlack2024]
