Hmm. I'm going to recheck this, but I was quite sure WiiU Windwaker HD lets you change camera controls. I could absolutely be wrong, but I was actually replaying Windwaker on GameCube hardware when I was gifted the WiiU Windwaker HD. I remember the camera control options being a huge improvement, second only to the crazy beautiful visuals. WiiU Windwaker HD remains the best looking games I've ever seen. I'm extremely curious what the Switch2 version looks like because it's not like BotW. On WiiU BotW, despite being charged excellent in every way, you can tell the WiiU is struggling and is at its limit. You have pop in, you have jagged lines, it's easy to see where improvements could be targeted. But Windwaker HD on WiiU...isn't like that, it's unbelievably gorgeous.

I more or less agree about Skyward Sword being the weakest entry in the 3d LoZ games. But just like with Star Trek, just because "Voyager" is my least favorite of the classic Star Trek shows, I still love it. "Skyward sword" is in no way "bad". It just feels like it's missing... Something. Only entry I dont or haven't played yet is "LoZ TotK". I could potentially see it being my least favorite. I haven't played it, but i know how much further it moved away from the genre that LoZ created. BotW managed it pretty well. But TotK seems to have recognized BotW success and decided to exaggerate the parts that are nothing like a traditional LoZ game and further minimalized the things that BotW had done so well.

Even the technically "worst" version of the game is jaw droppingly amazing. I'm playing on Nintendo Switch, a Switch Lite actually, and it's the FULL game, every game mechanic, every update and expedition. It's a true technical marvel and spectacular achievement. With how advanced hardware is becoming in the upcoming generations, these are basically gonna be a thing of the past. So let's all savor these crazy games that are technological miracles that shouldn't be able to even exist. In the semi recent past there was "Resident Evil: Revelations" on the 3ds, a game that seemed to come out of nowhere and was so good that it got a port to the PS3 later on. A NINTENDO game...a 3ds game got a PlayStation port...that sounds like a jhoke and isn't something that happens, but it did. If you've never seen what the original release looks like, you've gotta see it, it is mind boggling to see such high quality, the actual Resident Evil 5 engine running on comically underpowered hardware. Then there's "Xenoblade Chronicles" on the "NEW" 3ds which was also something absolutely jarring to see. It was impressive on the original Wii release, but how they got the full game onto even the slightly more powerful "NEW" 3ds was beyond impressive. I prefer it to the Switch HD port just for the novelty of such a massive game running on a 3ds. Then the Switch No Mans Sky, something so unbelievable that I didn't even know it really existed until finding it on a store shelf and even then I expected a watered down version but figured I'd still get some fun out of it. But instead I was blown away when I realized it was the full experience and it looks decent and runs fairly well. No excessive loading times or any load times whatsoever once you are in a system. Landing, taking off from planets or stations are seamless and makes some other supposedly "advanced" space games seem clunky and dated. Quite a feat for a Nintendo Switch Lite hah

That's incorrect. "Resident Evil the mercenaries 3d" controls nearly exactly like the excellent 3ds "Resident Evil Revelations". You DO NOT have to stop moving to shoot. You can't run and shoot, but you can freely walk around, strafe, whatever you want while shooting. That's partially what makes it feel so much better to play. You can even set controls to a "dual stick" option as well as walk around in first person view with controls like a FPS. I've played SO much 3ds RE Mercs and RE Revelations that I know them both inside and out.

"No Man's Sky " is definitely the best imo. It's got something for everyone and each one of those things are fleshed out enough to genuinely make every aspect worthwhile to sink the time into. For example I love the space ship aspect and the customization, ship construction and variety of ship types are enough to keep me very engaged for already about 5 months now.
