Cotton_Eye_Joe 03/01/21 2:25:04 PM #1:	That's seems awfully generous for Nintendo. Was it because they were trying catch up to Sony? Inflate pre-order numbers? --- Cyberpunk 2077 is a 7/10.

DarkRoast 03/01/21 2:36:43 PM #3:	The fact that it also included Master Quest was actually the real selling point at the time. But the real Zelda GameCube collection was the one that came with the collectors edition GameCube. It had OoT, Majora's Mask (a bad port) and LoZ I and II --- Razer Blade 15 - Core i7-9750H, 32 GB RAM (2666), RTX 2080 MQ <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:951220694] in Why did Ni...

Esrac 03/01/21 3:05:41 PM #11:	DarkRoast posted... DQ8 ironically being the vastly better game Can confirm. DQ8 was one of my favorite PS2 jrpgs. Meanwhile, I have a hard time playing FF12, because the gameplay is pretty boring. Even the switch version I've tried playing just doesn't grab me. I hate the gambit system and the license system. <cite>Esrac posted [p:951221722] in Why did Ni...

Kaldrenthebold 03/02/21 8:52:37 AM #18:	It wasn't just OoT, it was Zelda 1, 2, OoT and Majora's Mask. It was an amazing collection. That was when Nintendo had to try. When Nintendo is on top you get pittance and garbage. EDIT: Oh I guess I had the special mega edition. I vaguely recall the OoT bonus disc as well.
