I've played an old Zelda bruv. It's a 30 year old franchise that I dont need to reopen myself up to. It's my favorite franchise in fact, I just dont want to deal with stuff like bottles anymore.
The fact that a lick of paint and updated controls are enough to make this game stand proud in 2019, on a console that hosted BOTW no less, is a testament to the genius of Miyamoto and Tezuka. What they've achieved on the GB was simply astonishing and essentially delivered a timeless game design.
Since there isn't support for the d-pad in this, I think the assumption is that the SNES pad won't work.
Well, I'm not trying to argue or anything with you. It's my fav series as well and I love BOTW and almost every other Zelda. But things like bottles might return in future games so I think it's ok to realize that.

yeah, pretty much
yeah, it just shows what a masterpiece the game is, in all its versions, and how well it holds up after all these years. the only issue, controls, are fixed now and more people will get to experience this classic.
Reviews are looking great! The soundtrack for this game is AMAZING.
Still bummed I had to cancel my Dreamer Edition and do in-store pick-up for the regular version so I could have it for my trip tomorrow.

I thought you get two face buttons for items while boots and shield are on triggers and sword and interact take the last two face buttons
Though I agree the D-Pad should be used either as another movement option or an item quick select.
Well shit... Ok thanks... Pro controller it is then
miyamoto was mostly a supervisor and a tester on link's awakening. Tezuka and koizumi were the real heroes here, together with the programmers that were able to make alttp basic mechanics and screen transitions work on a game boy. Honestly tezuka deserves way more credit than he gets. Miyamoto is briliant with basic mechanics and practical solutions, but tezuka's directions is equaly as genius. Neither zelda or mario would have the sense of wonder they have without him.
yeah... I guess I'll be happier than you and will enjoy all future Zelda games
Nintendo has been having a crazy year since Mario Maker 2 released.
Not gonna lie.
I didn't expect Fire Emblem to be Nintendo's leading first party Metascore.

You get 2 but one of them is jump (feather) which is pretty much permanent considering how many pitfalls are there in any dungeon.
You have a lot of work to do lol. Zelda is amazing, you'll probably understand the lore a lot more too playing the games.

putting remake in the title is tacky imo. the game is old enough where they can get away with just using the original title.
That's pretty much exactly why I put him on ignore.
Sick to death of people telling me how to do my job.

after you get the reward, is it permanent or can you change back to green?
You can change between red and blue. Not tried if you can go back to green.
Now THAT I don't know! I'll check it out when I'll start up the game, Perhaps someone can answer it faster.
Would like to know that too. In DX you can switch back and forth between red and blue but not go back to green.
Are you in NA? First party releases always go live at midnight ET

by going back to the dungeon or can you change on the fly? iirc in the original you had to go back to the end of the dungeon to change.
Actually yeah.
For one thing, the FF7 Remake doesn't even cover the entirety of FF7. It'll probably be another decade before the saga is complete.
Every review mentions technical issues. Is this the first time Nintendo missed the quality mark like this?
Yeah how many game boy games would still be relevant today gameplay-wise?
It's the first time in a long time I see almost every reviewers mentioning the framerate so yeah.
