@Ralizah thank you, I was waiting on my local one to open to call. I hate giving GS money (former employer) but they have been the most reliable for system preorders for me.

@JaxonH i wonder if they gonna limit us to just 2 objects to make us a weapon/shield or this hability will be upgraded alowing us to use 3 objects to make a weapon now, this mechanic will make collecting the materials much more engaging.

@JaxonH Very exciting stuff indeed for Tears Of The Kingdom! I think all of us are going to be very happy with the finished product. And I also can't wait to receive many smaller articles on Nintendo Life 3 years from now about new things that we figured out you can do, far after the release of this game. I always enjoyed those little articles.

My employer just gave me a $20 gift card.

After looking at recent releases it appears as though Vernal Edge is top-choice for these virtual ducats.

Preorder for the physical release placed.

I can't get enough of the tier lists from Trump, Biden, and Obama.

Their Zelda tier list is choice.

And their Final Fantasy tier list is on point as well.

@Magician I had to really sit and think “has their account been hacked by a bot” when I read that. It sounds like a AI bot.

I think I’d be scared to know what their tier lists would actually look like.

Lol I love it 😆

Back in my day politics were funny and people weren't so weird about it. This is what I needed. I saw the videos on YT but never watched til now

Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
Zachariah 12:10 (500 yrs before Christ)
They will look on Me whom they pierced

Interesting, Nintendo's treating Rain Code as a major release. It's rare you see 3rd party games on My Nintendo Store but Rain Code and its special edition is on there.

@JaxonH I feel like there's potential for a promising new form of internet comedy here. One of the few worthwhile trends to come out of TikTok. As someone who is otherwise thoroughly exhausted by the current cultural milieu, it's always nice to see something unambiguously fun pop up.

@Grumblevolcano People always assume financial deals when something is exclusive to Switch (perhaps because under-the-table exclusion deals to cripple the competition are how Sony has done business for generations now), but after seeing how games like Triangle Strategy and Octopath Traveler 2 performed, I genuinely think a lot of creators have realized that Nintendo will market the heck out of platform exclusives, and that this is often more valuable in the long-run to visibility than slapping their games on as many systems as possible. Especially considering how Switch is lacking the typical treadmill of big AAA tentpoles, so mid-budget releases like this are given more of an opportunity to make an impression.

As a fan of Danganronpa before it was even officially localized on the PS Vita, I'm super excited to see Kodaka's next big property on my favorite Nintendo console.

@Ralizah @Grumblevolcano
The devs said they specifically decided to release Raincode as a Switch exclusive due to how well games like Triangle Strategy performed on Switch vs when games are released multiplat. And when you look at Triangle Strategy selling 1 million copies almost immediately, yet the multiplatform Octopath Traveler II still not hitting that milestone (despite being on 3 different platforms and being better than the first game) I think they have a point.

Speaking of which, tons of new info and screenshots were just dumped for Raincode. It's looking phenomenal.
