@xxx128 I understand the feelings toward scalping, but this is 1 of millions of Zelda cartridges out there that some people feel is worth more because it has a special designation on it, and also because it’s sealed. There are plenty of Zelda cartridges for those who want one to play.

I don’t get all the animosity. It’s not like this is the only Zelda cart and someone keeping it sealed is preventing people from playing it. There’s not even anything special about the version of the software that needs to be preserved. If someone wants to spend a lot of money and display it good for them.

I’m looking forward to this one, but probably going to wait for a $40 sale. I’m not desperate to play it, and it won’t be going out of print any time soon. Paper Mario and Pikmin just hit $30, so it may not take too long.

I preordered a copy at full price, but on release date I’ll be at Walmart seeing if I can get a copy for $50. Either way I’ll be playing it right away. Something that is only a certainty with Zelda and Metroid games.

This is exciting. Best announcement since Limited Run’s official localization of Rondo of Blood for the TG-16!!! What a time we live in!

Had 2 - 4 on PC Engine. Really looking forward to this one!

@adh56 Yeah, most of these I wondered if they were just paid adverts for things like Kunio Collection because it said “available to download now.”

I’m glad for everyone who loves this game to get a sequel, but this type of game just isn’t for me. Played the first one for long enough to realize that and then sold my copy.

@Teksetter Yes! That’s an awesome logo!

New games are great, but I’d really like the English Kunio collection to get a physical release. So many freshly translated games!

I have a feeling this one will have a lower print run than the other two did now that the trilogy is coming. The other two had about 11,000 orders each between standard and collectors editions (not sure if that includes Best Buy’s copies or not).

Really looking forward to this. Already planning a game with my girls in which you are a hamster trying to escape your cage. They’re very excited about it and I’m hoping doing one together will inspire them to do more on their own. I don’t expect them to be game designers, but I want them to be more than computer “users” and have some understanding of what’s going on under the hood.

I explored game programming back in the 90s and my friends and I even formed a company that became a licensed developer for the Jaguar. But I went in a completely different direction after that dissolved

No poll option for “Waiting for physical”?

@UmbreonsPapa Was going to say exactly that, a Zelda series should never be “for adults.” Pixar movies are generally a good example of entertainment that appeals to all age groups. There is no reason a Zelda show can’t be family friendly and great.

Looks interesting, but after being burned by Blossom Tales I’m wary.

Finished Xenoblade DE earlier this week, now playing through Bowser’s Fury whenever I get the time.

I think ultimately Nintendo wants these games on Switch to prep people for the release of 4. Honestly 4-5 people working for a year doesn’t sound like a bad investment.

I’ve been a fan of R-Type since my brother picked it up for the Sega Master System, but the demo for Final 2 was just downright boring. I may give it another chance if it gets a major sale.

I’m waiting for a physical.

@GamingFan4Lyf I’m pretty sure this collection is $20 on the eshop when it isn’t on sale, and $35 for standard, so yeah $15 more.

Why the arbitrary 2 players per system or 1 player per system? There go my plans of playing remotely with my sister and also having my 2 kids play locally.

I bought one late in 2019. It was the cost of a game, $60, and I got Pikmin 3 and 3D World for $10 each. But the main reason I got it was for Windwaker. I’m kind of surprised that hasn’t made it over to Switch yet, but fully expect it to.

I’m almost finished with Xenoblade definitive right now, and have been considering grabbing XCX. I would rather get that for Switch though...

I was in Akihabara all the time when I was in high school. This placed must’ve opened up later, as I don’t remember the name. Then again I don’t remember any shop names other than Sofmap. I’ll never get their theme song out of my head, LOL.

As long as the patched version makes it onto the LRG cartridge.

@JustThatGamer I always go for the standard editions. No space for all the extra stuff.

This is great, been waiting to place an order for Doom and Republic Commando, I’ll just make it 3 games.

@kkslider5552000 I don’t know, they do supposedly have a relationship with Konami, since they have plans to release the Castlevania Collection for Switch. I can’t imagine it would be too difficult to get Konami to go along with reprints of some of their GB games. Maybe that’s what’s holding up the collection?

Sounds great, but I’m not hurting for games so I’ll probably wait. Who knows, maybe I’ll get it for half price on sale and use that extra 50 cents for... for...Hmm.

I’ll be buying the cartridge day 1.

My launch unit is as good as new (other than drift that has been fixed twice), but I’d still buy a pro if it has more processing power.

I don’t really care who comes to Smash, but I would buy Master Chief Collection day 1 for switch. Rare Replay too.

@VoidofLight I’m right there with you, played the original when it was brand new, and Zelda has always been my absolute favorite series since that time. But I guess I’m not a real fan because BOTW is my favorite

Offline mode? Sounds like we may get a cartridge for this one, just like Tetris.

If the original had come out just a bit earlier I probably would’ve played it, as I was in the arcade all the time after school (despite rules restricting us from being seen in arcades in our school uniforms). But there were no arcades near my dorm after it came out. I would see it sometimes when I visited Tokyo, but never took the time to try it. And the PlayStation version was so expensive with its special controller from what I remember.

But I’ve ordered this one, and just waiting for it to arrive. It’s been a long time coming!

@King-K-Rool Ah, my mistake. I was watching that “Playing With Power” documentary and heard him say “customers.” Just assumed he said that all the time.

@JimmySpades If you say so. I don’t like being referred to as a “consumer.” I am aware that it is in regards to someone who uses up the value of an item, making it worth less. I find the concept altogether backward. As a producer, one should look at customers as people who are enriched by your products, assuming that you believe your products have value. One can understand a concept and still find it repulsive.

In Japanese the word for customer and guest are the same, and that is a more respectful way of looking at people.

@hakjie11 You’re not kidding, especially for the people behind the camera.

Was this not clear before? Seems pretty obvious.

One should never refer to people who buy their products as “consumers.” It’s disrespectful and downright dehumanizing. From what I remember Reggie was much more respectful, calling people “customers” (as one would expect from a Japanese company).

I’m here for the awesome tagline!

And the poultry.

Nice to see some footage, as I bought 2 standard copies sight unseen! Hoping it’s great!

@RupeeClock Nice that they offered you that option. I told them what the shipping costs were and asked for any other options but they said that was the only one. I usually tell people they should at least buy an extended warranty if they’re going to get one.

Ugh, I know a couple of producers over there. Hopefully they didn’t get cut.

@RupeeClock I’ve had 2 SN30 Pro+ controllers, and both have wonky D-Pads. It took a few months of light use to develop, but either I got unlucky twice (3 times if you count my SF30 Pro) or 8bitdo still hasn’t figured out how to make a good D-Pad. I wouldn’t mind so much if their warranty solution wasn’t “send it to us in China and we’ll fix it.” I did pack it up and take it to the post office, but the shipping was going to cost almost as much as the controller.

I liked the original, and improvements are welcome. When they bring over Twilight Princess I hope they give the option of motion controls as well. I played it that way originally, and was disappointed the WiiU dropped them.

@BloodNinja I know your comment wasn’t to me, but their customer service is a joke, unless you are prepared to spend the money to send your defective unit to China for repair.

Are the D Pads going to be junk on these like the rest of their controllers? I still can’t believe the praise 8 bitdo get for their products. I’ve had an SF30 Pro, and 2 SN30 Pro+ controllers, and every one of them has problems with false reads on the D Pad. It really ruins a game of Tetris or a demanding platformer.

Looks like the standard version finally sold out. Glad I got my order in when it was announced. Really looking forward to this. I'm glad SLG tries to release games that really otherwise wouldn't make it to the west (or at all).

This is all good, but some of these records just seem arbitrary "The best selling console in any February on record!"

Not interested in supporting the NFL. They need to work out a way to bring back a college football game.

If we get a deal in the U.S. I'll probably grab one, but so far I've successfully resisted.

Is this new? I seem to remember Aonuma mentioning these similarities in the direct.
