For me it's all the new little sound effects and the overall production value of the audio. Whether it's the chimes from opening the map, or the sound it makes when opening a shrine door, or the sounds from all of the new abilities, especially ascend which has my favorite sound. Even at the very end of shrines the little sound effects the pump like pillars make when they shoot out the green dust sounds so cool I love it. I just stood there for a good 5 mins the first time I did a shrine. Oh also the music in the shrines is great stuff too.
I get the feeling it wasn't an issue with the Wii U's performance, but more with the limited storage capacity for it. Anything the Switch can do the Wii U can do.
I found most of the BOTW trailer boring until the latter half. It's an alright trailer I suppose, I don't get why people like it so much. But then again I found BOTW to be an underwhelming Zelda game.
I'm one of those that hates over talkative characters in video games. I actually go so far as to turn voice volume off in a lot of games. So I'm pretty happy the vast majority of Nintendo games don't have voice protags, or they only say a few sentences throughout the entire game.
I get being uptight about an NDA breach. But Nintendo taking down anything related to BOTW, like that video on mods is just straight up them being turds in your soup. It makes people hate them. There as bad as Monster.
I never understood why my friends hate on Chris Pratt, but I'm starting to get it. Telling people to go watch your movie twice is such a cringy shill thing to say.
Looks like things are getting too spicy for the pepper!
As long as we get some real dungeons this time around I don't care. BOTW is the most forgettable Zelda game simply because it had nothing that stood from moment to moment. I do remember going to the different biomes and being hot or cold but that's really it. I can't remember a single boss fight.
My hype meter before was about an 8/10, and after an 8/10... it did nothing to really excite me more, but it also did not make me cancel my pre-order so hey that's a win for Nintendo getting my money!

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Japan's 7th Biggest Game Launch Of All Time
I thought ScarVi was some sort of NDS RPG that was only released in Japan.
Re: Feature: The Best Builds We've Seen In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom So Far
@Dman10 No. The entire game revolves around building things. You don't have to make anything complex though.
Re: Blizzard Cancels Overwatch 2's Long-Awaited PvE Hero Mode
@Tasuki Judging by the crap plus nonexistent games MS has been putting out the only changes I see are for the worse...

Re: Round Up: People Can't Stop Torturing Koroks In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
I found it funny and interesting how it was mostly women doing the torturing.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Beyond Good And Evil
NA one is hotter.
Re: Zelda Boss Wanted Certain Tears Of The Kingdom Areas In BOTW, Prevented By Wii U's Limitations
I get the feeling it wasn't an issue with the Wii U's performance, but more with the limited storage capacity for it. Anything the Switch can do the Wii U can do.
Re: Zelda Devs Confirm The Return Of Fan-Favourite Feature In TOTK
@Mbawa Too late, my expectations for them are already sky high. I'm expecting them to be even better than OOT dungeons now.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Midnight Launch Goodies Revealed (US)
@Brady1138 I bet they will be on ebay for almost $100 and people will still buy one.
Re: Random: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Contains A Neat Super Metroid Reference
Not quite as fast as the Ninja Gaiden wall jump.
Re: Feature: How Metroidvania 'Afterimage' Crafts A Gorgeous Visual Identity In A Crowded Genre
It still looks the same as all the others to me...
Re: Poll: Who's Your Favourite Champion In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
Funny how my least favorite is the majority favorite... I just couldn't stand Urbosa and cheered when she died.
Re: It Looks Like Cooking Recipes Are A Thing In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
It was very strange that they weren't in BOTW as a UI element. I saw some posters, but I couldn't steal them.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom "Hands On" Performance & Resolution Detailed
@YoshiF2 Why not both?
Re: Dotemu Is Bringing 'Might & Magic: Clash Of Heroes' Back On Switch This Summer

Re: Hands On: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Indulges Your Idiocy In The Very Best Way
@RupeeClock In every zelda game except BOTW you get a bomb bag...
Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite Nintendo Controller? Every Nintendo Pad Ranked
Going between an Xbox controller and a Switch controller is a full fledged nightmare. So I cannot in good faith choose the Switch Pro controller.

RIP. They made some good stuff.

Re: Poll: Breath Of The Wild Vs. Tears Of The Kingdom - Which Final Zelda Trailer Was Better?
@Cashews people cry with everything these days though... when did people become such cry babies?
Re: Random: Chris Pratt's Mario Movie Voice Was Initially Deemed Too "Tony Soprano"
Mario didn't bug me that much. Peach and DK bugged the crap out of me though and felt so out of place.
Re: Talking Point: Should Link Have Voice Acting In The Next Zelda Game?
I'm one of those that hates over talkative characters in video games. I actually go so far as to turn voice volume off in a lot of games. So I'm pretty happy the vast majority of Nintendo games don't have voice protags, or they only say a few sentences throughout the entire game.
Re: Random: Of Course People Are Thirsty For Ganondorf In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
You people are weird.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Pre-Launch Trailer Is Absolutely Stunning
Huh demon Zelda looks interesting. Think she gets possessed by some Zonai stuff?
Re: Aliens: Fireteam Elite Is Coming To Switch, But It's A Cloud Version
I had this one on Steam for a small amount of time. Played it for about 45 mins and refunded it. Just felt very cheap and not fun.
Re: Talking Point: Just How Old Is Mario In The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
@Rambler He looks like he lives in a lovely sophisticated trailer park. The name of the trailer park community is Pabst Blue Shagton.
Re: Nintendo Wants Discord To Reveal Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Art Book Leaker
I get being uptight about an NDA breach. But Nintendo taking down anything related to BOTW, like that video on mods is just straight up them being turds in your soup. It makes people hate them. There as bad as Monster.
Re: Poll: Did You Use Motion Controls In Mario Kart Wii?
I remember playing online and seeing on occasion a motion controller player... they were always in last place LOL.
Re: Walmart's Pre-Order Bonus For Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Has Been Revealed (North America)
I wonder if the wall scroll is made from incredibly cheap materials, or just super cheap materials?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
The Japanese one looks like a corny soap opera lol. You know what that actually fits the stupidity of RE...
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie DVD, Blu-ray And 4K Steelbook Pre-Orders Are Now Live
I think it would be smart to wait towards the end of the year when the 4K disc will be on sale for $12.
Re: Movie Review: The Super Mario Bros. Movie - A Fun Ride That Substitutes Story For Spectacle
@NeonPizza I heard that it will be on Peacock because of Universal.
Re: Video: We're Playing Zelda: Ocarina Of Time In Our New YouTube Series 'First Bytes'
Felix is doing a great job. The chat seems to be enjoying the streams.
Re: Poll: Is This The Very End Of The Road For E3?
E3 is done for, but it had sucked for years now anyway. Honestly I think it started dying around 2010.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Gets Creative With Vehicle Building, Fused Weapons

Re: Poll: How Many 3DS Consoles Have You Owned?
Just one blue 3DS XL. Still got it. Why would you ever need more than one?
Re: Random: Smash Bros. Melee HD Unlikely To Happen, According To Former Nintendo Employees
I'm surprised people actually liked Brawl. That game was trash.
Re: Feature: “There Is A Deep Respect For Japan's Proud Mecha Anime Culture Hidden In Every Conceivable Part”
I think my favorites are the crazy over the top designs like Armored Core or Zone of the Enders.
Re: Feature: Atelier Ryza 3's Producer On Crafting The End And Shifting Away From Fanservice
Aren't these games alive because of fanservice? I'd imagine they would bomb as hard as DOA6 without it.
Re: Random: Hideki Kamiya Thinks Bayonetta Origins Will Help People Make Babies
If that dude had a Steam account he would have tons of Jester awards.
Re: Atelier Ryza's First Game Is Getting Its Very Own Anime Adaptation
@Coolmusic I always found it fascinating that just one of her thighs is thicker than her waist.
Re: Poll: What Other GameCube Title Deserves A '10/10' Remake Or Remaster?
Wave Race Blue Storm.
Re: Review: Bayonetta Origins: Cereza And The Lost Demon - A Placid Prequel For Platinum's Star
First Bayonetta 3 and now this... I don't get the appeal. I guess I will always have Bayonetta 1 and 2. I feel like Platinum has lost its touch.
Re: Poll: Six Years On, Which Was Nintendo Switch's Best Year So Far?

Re: Soapbox: 1080° Snowboarding Is The Coolest Nintendo Ever Got
Sorry, I always liked Wave Race more.
Re: Review: Clive 'N' Wrench - A Banjo-Kazooie-Style Throwback That Hits All The Wrong Notes
@RareFan They probably should have hired a few people who had experience to help out.
Re: Video: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & Wii)
I wonder why they went with a flat paper look for the character models.
Re: Saudi Arabia's PIF Is Reportedly Now Nintendo's Biggest Outside Investor
Congratulations to them I suppose.
