The Original Zelda is a MASTERPIECE

The Legend of Zelda is my favorite game franchise of all time, and the original game for the NES is still a masterpiece to this day.

    I think it was kind of predictable tbh. 5th generation was 240p/30 fps. 6th gen was 480p/30 fps. 7th gen was 720p/30 fps. 8th gen was 1080p/30 fps. This gen is 1440p/30 fps. But you now have upscaling and dynamic resolution to do 60 fps. But it can be as low as 720p/40 fps suring heavy moments. They always exaggerate what the capabilities of the new consoles will be. It's been this same old song and dance since the Panasonic 3DO.

    I love Zelda 2. Maybe since I'm old enough to have played them in order and found my rhythm in it pretty quick as a kid. I don't find it as hard as most people seem to. I think it's because a lot of people (that I know) weren't aware they can level up their stats in any order. Most just assume they have to do it in the suggested order for some reason... Once you get the downward thrust attack it gets a whole lot easier as well, in my opinion. My only issue at first.... Well, "I am error.". 😂 Same issue as Castlevania 2. Translation wasn't always accurate, especially with a turn of phrase or cultural idioms.

    • @retroreviews_
      @retroreviews_ День тому

      The more I read from the comments the more it seems like the people that grew up with the OG Zelda games have a much easier time with them. Probably because most NES titles were so hard you just got used to being godlike. I had absolutely no idea you could level specific stats! I thought it just automatically assigned one each level up. That would have been helpful for sure 😂 I might have to go back through and play it again knowing some new strategies. The downward thrust is super broken - I used that for most of the dungeons once I got it. I love the random mistranslations - they're always so hilarious 😂

    Making the echoes a costume accomplishes nothing, they already require about the same amount of development work. If it bugs you you can just hide them on the select screen.

      I think it ok that you didn’t talk about them because they are the most wanted characters. Any of the original KH characters, mainly Riku, Aqua or Roxas because they would play differently from Sora. But if it’s not a deluxe version I doubt even Sora would return. Some new Pokémon representation would be cool. Decidueye with its bow and arrow and then for its smash have it use a Z-move. Maybe one of the box legendary for scarlet and violet. For Paper Luigi they could base him off of his Super Paper Mario iteration, Mr. L. For a new Zelda rep, one of the Champions from BotW. Urbosa would be my choice. And add an Impa variant. We don’t really need any more FE characters. Maybe do an echo P4 protagonist for Joker. To finish off this long comment Issac from Golden Sun.

    i'm not necessarily against echo fighters but i just find it weird how weirdly they are handled, some have minor changes that are enough to set them apart (the links, dark pit, dr mario for example) but some are literally the exact same (daisy, dark samus, richter) and i just feel like they need to commit to one. if they want echo characters to be costumes, why does alph not count as one then? if they want echos to have changes then why do some with none exist? i just feel like they should've picked a lane or atleast made the characters without changes skins like alph. that is something i would love to see in smash 6 actually, better alts for characters... we got a taste of that in ultimate with stuff like wedding and builder mario but i'd love to see every character get the unique models treatment since i feel like visual customization is a natural next step when the roster is already in a good spot

      Totally agree! It baffles me that Chrom has Ike's up b but no other echo gets a unique change like that. One or two mixups on the moveset immediately make Echos worth picking up.

    I know I personally don't keep the cases unless they're small like the switch, psp, 3ds Ds etc. I have to ageee with your wife that I find the clutter annoying to deal with. This goes DOUBLE for n64 and other cardboard "cases". I have a decent genesis collection and it's all just the cartridges thanks to how bulky those old retro cases can be, and how unreliable and gross the cardboard cases for stuff like sonic 3d blast can get. I have to agree with you fully on the neat freak side of things and having a "proper" way to handle hardware. I treat my room and living space the same way. I used to struggle with completionism in games as well but in the end I have to remind myself I'm here to have fun and there IS no wrong way to play games. I still haven't beaten donkey kong country returns BECAUSE I couldn't stand beating a level without getting everything in it. Next time I play that game I'm just gonna bee line to the ending. Beating a game is more important to me I'm guilty of having a huge backlog but I know I will get to it before I die. I just HAVE to. Currently ff4 and ogrebattle 64 are top two on my list of games to play. It's just hard to find the motivation to sink into these RPGs that last easily 60+ hrs. I try to convince myself but the length it takes to beat them is so daunting I often end up watching UA-cam instead of playing games like I want to (like right now for instance) I'm SUPER guilty of rebuying games. I must've bought symphony of the night over fifteen times at this point. Captain toads treasure tracker and undertale are other ones I'm guilty of doing this with but it doesn't stop there. I love piracy but I can't help but support the devs officially whenever I can and so games like Celeste end up purchased tons of times by me. A big gaming habit that I have that baffles people around me is the fact I'm particular about what console to get what game on even if the game is NOT exclusive. As an example, I only get sonic games on Xbox consoles because I view the Xbox as a true continuation of sega's hardware legacy. I got the crash games on ps4 even though they're available everywhere. And I stick to Nintendo for final fantasy despite the newest entries never being on there. It's just something innately satisfying to me, and I've run into situations where I didn't own a ps4 and I really wanted crash n sane trilogy, and my mom would ask why I don't just get it on switch. Well because it's not FOR switch. It's really silly and completely pointless but so is this whole hobby lol. This was fun to talk about and a neat topic I don't see discussed often.

      Thank you for the giant reply - it really makes me happy that the video resonated with you 😁 I actually know EXACTLY what you mean with playing certain games on certain consoles. I only play Crash on PlayStation too! Some Multi-Platform games feel like they should be exclusives for a certain console.

    If we got Ultimate DX, I would want to see "everyone is here" come to more of the game. As in, stages, items, game modes. My only true gripe with Ultimate is the lack of new stages outside of DLC, so I think getting all past stages back would be a nice way to combat that.

    • @retroreviews_

      The Miis are pretty sick for customization. It's a nice way to get properties into Smash without adding specific characters. I'm just not a huge fan myself.

    Some characters I would love to see playable in future Smash rosters are Deoxys, Clefairy, Shantae, Shovel Knight, Jill from Drill Dozer, Dixie Kong, Cecil from FF IV with half of his costumes being him as a Dark Knight and the other half being his White Knight look with some elemental move changes, Captain Syrup from the Wario Land series, Dr Eggman, Tails (who utilizes his inventions in a few of his attacks), Mega Man Zero, Hsiang Ko (because of her ability to toss random items at people which fits better in Smash than the MVC games), and Tetra.

    • @honestly5235

      This is a sick list. Captain Syrup would be WILD, and I would flip for Tetra. I think we definitely need another Pokemon and at least another DK character. Conker is my pipedream character.

    with SSBU:D, you mention More!, but didn't mention the story mode. we need an Ultimate Deluxe that adds 3-5 characters, a brawl-esque (but bigger and better) story mode (this being the focus and main addition to the game), full proper break the targets and board the platforms modes, and trophies would be nice. a motion control option like Brawl had would also be cool. that's all plenty of work and new stuff for us to enjoy. then add however much DLC you want, if they do 10, great, but just 5 or 6 allows them to chill and begin the NEXT smash game that much sooner. I hope they take their time and we get THIS Smash game around 2027 if need be.

    • @retroreviews_
      @retroreviews_ 5 днів тому

      You're so right. A full campaign for deluxe would be perfect! And less characters but a new Smash game in the works is definitely preferable. I would absolutely die if they brought back break the targets and trophies. Those were some of my favorite things in Melee.

    I’ve been kinda done with PlayStation for a while, there wasn’t much to play anymore, PS Plus was lackluster, and there’s absolutely no backwards compatibility anymore as well as a few other reasons, but the nail in the coffin was when my friend gave me his old Xbox One. The first thing I noticed was how much more I loved the dashboard compared to PlayStation’s, I then subscribed to game pass since I was only given a couple of games with it, and was absolutely blown away at how massive their selection is, I was even blown away at the cloud streaming, I played through the entirety of Hi-Fi Rush and forgot I was cloud streaming most of the time, whereas with PlayStation it was a a powerpoint slideshow every time i’ve tried to use it. I also love being able to play some games from the 360 and og Xbox, so of course I went and bought Sonic Adventure 2. Those are the main reasons why I will be getting a Series X instead of a PS5 if and when I upgrade to next gen P.S. Play Hi-Fi Rush if you end up subscribing to game pass, it’s one of the best games i’ve played in years and has an amazing soundtrack

    • @retroreviews_
      @retroreviews_ 5 днів тому

      I'm definitely most excited about the backwards compatibility. I already have some OG Xbox games, but I haven't played any of the 360 library. I'm going to go ham getting a bunch of old Xbox games to play. I'm super stoked to play Hi-Fi Rush! That's one that's been on my radar for a long time.

  • @catking271
    @catking271 5 днів тому

    I think one thing about changing movesets is that the smash team just want to keep everything the same for the og players. Imagine if your main has been DK for the past 25 years, since smash 64, and suddenly hes a completely different character. That said, I totally agree that the most of the original 12 have super boring movesets that definitely need to be reworked.

    • @retroreviews_
      @retroreviews_ 5 днів тому

      That's something I didn't really consider before making this video. Player accessibility is really important to the Smash team. On the same note, it's way easier for them to add more characters if they don't have to worry about changing the characters they already have. It would be a huge undertaking to overhaul everyone.

    • @thewisthersgames
      @thewisthersgames 5 днів тому

      ​@@retroreviews_Another thing one should consider is how time investing is something like that, because even if you did that stupid thing of cutting the roster in half as you still have to put new characters it would be like working double so we couldn't get a Lot of single player stuff which is what previous smash games have been lacking

    Random Tip: the disc tray of this thing sometimes was horrible, if a disc ever gets stuck there's a tiny little hole on the left side you can poke something in for the disc to come out. I also recommend buying game codes from sites like Gamivo, Eneba, etc. is the cheapest way of getting a lot of games, all you need is a free VPN to redeem them and you're good to go.

    • @retroreviews_
      @retroreviews_ 5 днів тому

      Oh nice! I'm really glad to know that - I'd be so anxious if the tray got stuck and I didn't know what to do. I have seen Xbox codes on deal sights being way cheaper than Nintendo or PlayStation. I will absolutely be checking out those sights. Thanks so much for the recommendations! 😁

    it's crazy to me that Mario's move set doesn't include his hammer, and it's mostly bc his move set was created in 1999, before he started using it again in spin-offs

    • @retroreviews_
      @retroreviews_ 6 днів тому

      I think so too. It's almost baffling that they use the same moveset (pretty much at least) from the original game.

      @kenthuang436 5 днів тому

      I think adding Paper Mario to the roster would fill in the role really well. He wouldn’t be an Echo of Mario because Paper would use mostly Hammer and jump attacks while getting help from various partners from the Paper Mario series like Gombella using Tattle as a taunt to give info, Huey splashing paint as another taunt, and Boomer acting like a projectile that explodes upon impact. All the developers would need to do is add a Paper Mario art style on Mr Game and Watch.
