I cannot, CANNOT, understate how excited I am for this game. Not only that, but I also cannot understate how excited I am for what this game represents for the franchise. Between Cadence and HW, Nintendo are clearly getting more experimental with how games in the franchise get made, while maturing in their commitment to storytelling as shown by the existence of a prequel and sequel to BotW. It's an extraordinary time to be a Zelda fan, and the future looks bright 😁

@sanderev Yup, but the dev team all came from the Sonic fangame and ROM hacking community, according to Wikipedia. If Nintendo followed the Sega method we'd have had this be released on Switch by now, and I'd imagine a bunch of other Zelda games too. Just saying 🤷‍♂️

@ALinkttPresent I don't mean to sound confrontational here, but to answer your question because the law is stupid. Technically, I can't draw a picture of Mario and put it on Twitter. I don't hold the copyright or publishing rights to depictions of that character. If I do and am not hit with a takedown order, it's only because Nintendo has decided it's not worth the effort. Or they haven't even noticed it, again, because it's not worth the effort to look.

So long as they're not for profit, I think most people's objections to this boil down to not seeing a great load of difference between what I'm sure you would agree is my harmless drawing of Mario and the fan mod that has been the subject of this action.

@sanderev

The fellas who made Sonic Mania might have a thing or two to say about that...

I mean... Oof. I tend not to think about DLC and base game costs combined for whatever reasons, but when you put it all out like that it does seem utterly insane. I'm still salty over the NatDex too, so a Pokémon game without Chikorita or Turtwig remains a hard pass for me, physical DLC bundle or not.

@Mikeopferman As the second person who played Pikmin 3, I can confirm I am in agreement and can't wait to play again 😁 Having said that, Age of Calamity is currently consuming all my mental bandwidth. The Zelda brainrot is real 🥺

@Severian Given there are four slots remaining, we could have them all and be happy for each other 😁

@doctorhino Salutes

I'm holding out for this. Please bring it to the UK 🥺🥺🥺

I prefer this so much to not knowing. It's still torture, but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Livestream on Nintendolife? Livestream on Nintendolife? Awesome, we're all agreed, livestream on Nintendolife. Make it happen, you lovely people you!

I laughed, I cried. My body is ready. Nintendo has come roaring out of a summer long slumber. You love to see it.

This is such a no brainer. They could do a whole bunch of minifigure series with Animal crossing characters. They could have hundreds of characters all based off of a relatively small number of moulds (similar to how the Animal Crossing characters are reskins on the same animal models). Makes very good business sense!

So character designs have to be checked over by a strict external team..

I do not think "almost complete control over the creative direction" means what they think it means 😂

@panthro Trouble is we're in a news desert at the minute. Rumours are like mirages. They're the only thing we can latch onto, even though there's no telling if they're real or not. It's all we can see.

Plus we're all desperate 😂

I'm not familiar with this person. When it's said they have a reliable track record, can anyone demonstrate this? I want to get my hopes up, even for a Partner Showcase, but it's hard to trust these days 😂

How clever! If I had a giant lens like that and a 3D printer I'd definitely try that myself 😂

@batata It is life

I'm so confused. So can you get dinosaurs spawning in Minecraft now or is this just it's own separate thing within Minecraft that doesn't interact with the base game much at all? If it's separate then I'm not really interested 😕

I got the one with the Master Sword statue 😁 I had Patricia Summersett sign it at MCM. She wrote on it in Hylian because she's that freaking cool, so now I'm hoping for another statue so I can maintain a full set 😂

Just fills your heart up, don't it? 🥰

My buddy works at Hi-Rez and got me a code for Rogue Company 😁 So I'll be smashing that out this weekend. S'been pretty good so far!

@antonio2244 Maybe when you've been waiting thirteen years for a new Donkey Kong Country I'll have some sympathy 😋

@DanTee That begs the question though, why don't you have to make Animal Crossing games for them to sell? S'not like they've been pumping them out as yearly releases or anything.

@Benhop07 I always say one or three, just because you're discovering Pikmin for the first time through the eyes of your character. But any one of them are good to start with, the old Pikmins hold up so well. I replayed them both earlier this year

@SpaceboyScreams Fair enough 😂 In my defense...

@Travisemo007 I am truly sorry, because correcting strangers on the internet using "could care less" is my sickness at this point. But it's couldn't. Again, apologies 😂

Keep the faith people. One day, we'll be getting Lego Zelda sets. One day.

Man looks great for fifty. Happy birthday to him! And here's to the next fifty!

As a pretty big Lego fan, nah. One thing I love about minifigures is that they all have this kind of congruent design. You can put Bart Simpson next to Princess Bubblegum and Spiderman, and they all look great together. Emmet, Starlord and Owen Grady can get coffee, or Star Wars characters can hang out with the Pirates of the Carribbean as they all help Steve mine for diamonds. This is just too much of a departure from that for me.

If we get Zelda Lego though, with proper minifigures... I used to chop up, sand and paint Lego parts just to make Nintendo characters, Zelda ones especially. S'not looking so impossible now 😁

😂 Excellent. Just excellent.

I could never do that 😂 Nice reason to part ways with it though. I'd love for money to be no object and buy it myself

I LOVE Fortnite, so I tend to not pay too much attention to other Battle Royale games. This looks extremely interesting though 😁

Making Yoshi that big quick travel bug was an excellent shout! They all look fantastic

I don't think Pro Controller drift is a widespread issue. Any analogue stick on any controller can succumb over time.

Given my reasonably sizable collection of old consoles, it's payed dividends to learn to properly look after and maintain things; disassembly, cleaning, all that jazz. I'd recommend it to anyone, and once you've done it a few times its not so scary. I think my first one was cleaning out a sticky button on a Gameboy Micro, and then I put some custom buttons in a Wii Controller for the fun of it. It does become a hobby in itself

@Juga Wait until Monday the 20th. Then you can make a more informed decision 👍

I'm gonna give it another... Maybe 30 seconds before there's fanart of this.

XD This was rather entertaining. The only mod I've done with BotW was the VR one that was in development, before it got wiped off of the internet. That was magical. However, a playthrough as the goose may now be in order.

@Max_the_German It was a bit of a long shot I guess. Thank you for the source though!

Mmm, consistent 35/40 scores for previous games doesn't tell us much...

...Unless they gave Thousand Year Door 70/40 or something like that?

@Ventilator If the game is reusing massive amounts of stuff from the first game, much like development, shouldn't the time requirements for QA also be massively cut down? I'm thinking just in time for Christmas? 😁😁😁

@Anti-Matter I do repairs and replacements for joy-con joysticks, and from what I can tell it appears to be a design fault that allows for dust and moisture (which causes corrosion) to get into the parts relatively easily. If you wipe the components down and reassemble they tend to work fine. But it only ever seems to be a temporary fix.

I dunno why everyone's getting their knickers twisted, I thought it was fun and I even got hyped at the "one more thing" when Prime 4 popped up. More of this please! I'll take fake Directs until a proper one comes along, it's been too long 😂

😂 That man is a god.

@CairiB If you enjoy vinyls and love the music from OoT, you can't go wrong. The market theme alone is worth it, it's epic and insane.

@Octane @Bret Must be another pressing or something, packaging looks the same as my copy.

I'm immensely confused... I have this? I've had it for ages? Is this a new edition with new songs or something?

My fingers are crossed for Let's Go Johto. Anything else and I can't say I'm crazy fussed.

I stopped playing Apex when the cheating got really bad on PC, but it tends to be much harder to do it on Switch, or people are less inclined to. The game was solid before all that so should be a good time!

Someone needs to pull Reggie out of retirement so he can defend the store with his laser eyes and bag of names.

@NinChocolate Nineteen year olds now, I'll have you know.
