Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Ah, right, I wondered which mechanics you meant, thanks.

I think we'll get a proper trailer and more information at a special Direct during January or February. I first was expecting at E3, but E3 is in June (I think) while the game is already out in May. Maybe Pikmin 4 will be at E3 2023 (and Metroid Prime 4).

@Henmii I feel it's more likely we'll get info in a normal direct in February.

@VoidofLight

But Nintendo needs a big event to market the new Zelda before May, so I definitely see that happening in the form of a Zelda-centered Direct. With Breath of the wild we got plenty of footage at E3, but E3 isn't a option this year since that comes after the release.

@Henmii Game specific Directs are a month before launch so if there is a TotK Direct, it'll be in April. It's definitely more likely the next showing of TotK is in a general Direct as a long segment around the middle like this one for Fire Emblem Three Houses (18:37 - 24:20 in the video):

@Grumblevolcano

That might be the case. If so, I still expect some stuff before April. Maybe they will drip-feed stuff like they did with Metroid Dread? That game had reveals during a period almost every week before launch. Ah well, we will see. They will definitely build some hype in some way.

Well, we've passed the half-way mark since the release date announcement in the September Direct to the game's actual release. Let's hope these last four months go by just as quickly... It'll help just to have more info on the game, coming (I reckon) in a general Direct next month.

100 days to go.

@imagazelle I just saw that on my SwitchBuddy widget. We’re in the final stretch.

I just saw this tweet from NoE. Pretty sure this means that another delay is practically impossible

Hopefully the $70 price tag was a mistake, but
I doubt it is. I’m still getting the game as soon as I can, but I’m not really sure about the strategy of increasing prices mid gen.

I guess we'll definitely be seeing something for this game tomorrow then.

@blindsquarel the game is going to be $90 CAD I wish I was joking.

@Kermit1
Jeez, that’s ridiculous. Luckily I still have around $60 in eshop cards from christmas, but the increase is still dumb.

@blindsquarel IT'S BEEN REMOVED!!!! THANK YOU MARIO!!!!!!

@Kermit1
Hopefully some intern just made a mistake. I’m prepared for the worst though.

Amazon and Best Buy preorder listings at $59.99 are down:

@blindsquarel ya, let's brace for impact. I can't for the next gen when games are $100 CAD.

If it is truly $70, I will wait till I find a used copy.

@Grumblevolcano
That pretty much confirms it. This better be one heck of a game, considering the price increase, reusing assets, and the longer development time than BoTW
