Done it 2 eshop game vouchers £84. Siting on my switch now preorders For TOTK and Pikmin 4. What a time to own a Switch. £42 per game I can’t moan about that. PS. I’m digital only can’t be messing around with physical media in 2023. Same with music and movies.
Can’t see a single issue with this. Can’t wait for the 12th bring this amazing game on. It’s been so long for me since we have had a top tier AAA and I have all three consoles.
@ActionPanther I didn’t buy the HFW DLC. Just waiting patiently for TOTK then Pikmin 4. And I’m sure there will be something for autumn and near Christmas big as well. I’m expecting a AAA platform game it’s been over 6 years really almost new one wise.
@ActionPanther I have all three as well. Only FH5 on Xbox for me, so extremely rubbish start. PS5 GOWR and HFW were good for me. But it’s more about Switch this year for sure.
@ActionPanther Miles better than those two games you can already see Nintendo’s imagination and creativity with a very small amount of game play shown.
It still amazes me how Mario Odyssey is only about 5.7gb roughly. Will be interesting to see with switch 2 more power, how files size but more importantly development time will increase. I mean if switch 2 is at PS4 level and they produced a game of HFW visual fidelity I’m thinking it will take Nintendo a very long time to produce that game. Also if we start adding things like HDR, real Dolby surround sound etc etc.
Out of interest I wonder when reviewers and this site get TOTK review code? I mean it’s not long now and it will take a good while to play through and give a decent review write up. And of course other games to review as well with some big third party games coming up in other consoles etc.
Always said it on here. Now is Nintendos chance to pounce with Mario Odyssey 2 or whatever or even switch 2 with Mario Odyssey 2. Surely it makes business sense, momentum is massively powerful.
So wish Nintendo had kept Rare they had some of the best N64 games I played. Imagine what they could have done for the switch BK Switch etc the list goes on. Would have created a good development cycle along side Nintendo themselves.
Being honest, as long as it gives Nintendo more reason and money to make their amazing AAA game, please a 3d platform game, I don’t care what any critic has to say.
Do we really need a Switch 2? The only one thing that makes think maybe is third party games that could be added to Switch library and run really well. Apart from that we are getting plenty of first party games of which no other console has and of course we are mobile as well.
No, as I have white Switch OLED. Had the Switch had another day 2 to 3 years life left may have done but can’t see the Switch if rumours true going past March 2024. Need another pro controller so might get one of those.
Have such wonderful memories of E3 back in the day. The suspension, excitement and revealing of consoles and games. The cheers and gasps of the crowd the euphoria. RIP E3 I shall miss the old days shared with you.
@hylianticipated Game UK seem out of stock of the console as well. Did they all sell that quick? If so that has to be a lot of consoles and pro controllers sold in the UK.
@hylianticipated Soz, didn’t know it had run out I thought they hadn’t opened the preorders. Guess I missed that. Did they open pre orders as the console and pro controller both not available at the minute.
Smyths Toys have the pro controller to pre- order for £54.99 so that’s a better price. So many over look Smyths Toys. Console also available to pre order.
After watching a few times in peace and quiet. Taking the trailer as just a new ability trailer it is absolutely spot on and amazing.
I want to know so much more, like are their shrines type things, korok, dungeons. I need a reason to explore this vast amazing land, like the shrines gave me in BOTW to get more hearts and stamina, it was great.
@Baler lot of companies, not necessarily Nintendo, taking advantage and scamming us. Look at oil and supermarket profits. Through the roof, justify that.
Just not long ago upgraded to Switch OLED and like the white and black. I do need another pro controller but £20 more than the standard black one a bit much. There is a cost of living crisis on at the minute.
@Teksetter Thank you for your rational reply. Yes could idea maybe some sort of stable system for them so you can at least retrieve a few of them. Yes I wouldn’t like to make a great vehicle and not be able to keep it. Of course unless I bash it up in battle then thats my own thought.
Oh we’ll definitely not enough info today for sure.
@MegaVel91 Would have liked to be able to save the vehicles and summon them when required like you could the master cycle with the BOTW DLC.
See if you spend an age making a great vehicle that is very good then lose it. Seems a waste of time making it to me. Shame if you can’t save maybe even three vehicles at least.
Why take time and effort building something if you can’t keep it.
@Phornix Ok can you save these fused weapons and vehicles that you can make. And summon them later as you explore the world Especially the vehicles, you don’t want to be remaking new vehicles all the time.
@MegaVel91 Little benefits not necessarily for other things.
Interesting thing that you may have noticed and not me. Once you have made say a car, balloon flying thing etc. can you save it and summon it at anytime else where to use??? Then it maybe worth the effect of building these contraptions. But if you have to leave it and maybe remake then it could become a pain.

@Rambler
I see, I thought the dollar was stronger than that against the pound, unless it’s taxes and things.
Re: Poll: What Did You Make Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Trailer?
I guess the UK getting it for £60 is cool not the USA $70.
Also get two coupons for £84 for two games
So even better digitally for me on the e shop.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Pre-Launch Trailer Is Absolutely Stunning
I was never in doubt.
However someone break it down soon.
There was so much my eyes melted 😂

Thank you for your rational reply.

Oh we’ll definitely not enough info today for sure.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer?
Can we save the vehicles we have taken time making and summon them like the master cycle in BOTW?
Seems a waste of time creating a very good useful vehicle just to lose later on when exploring.
