Re: Eiji Aonuma Confirms that Breath of the Wild Will Not Support a Japanese Dub Over English Subtitles

Well, I'm not buying it, I guess. Hopefully homebrew will come nice and fast so the community can get an undub going. Until then, I won't be playing this game. I guess this is the double-edged sword of adding proper voice acting to a Zelda game. It's cool in concept, but if it means I have to hear an english dub, it's literally worse than no voice acting. Unfortunately the game is built around said voice acting, so playing with voices disabled or the game on mute would just ruin the experience as well.

Re: Video: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Localised Voice Acting is Pretty Darn Varied

The Japanese voice acting is really really amazing. It was very moving when I saw it during the presentation. Looking up the trailer again later is when I discovered it was dubbed in several languages. This was really unfortunate, because it likely means I won't get to play with Japanese audio and English subs, as Nintendo of America is realllllly terrible when it comes to this sort of thing. Especially in recent years. I might actually put off buying the game until I find out if this'll be an option. If not, I'll have to wait until the homebrew scene for the Switch grows and I can forcefully undub it.

Re: Hyperkin's GameCube-Inspired ProCube Pad is Now Up for Pre-Order

Would love to see a revision of this that mimics the shoulder buttons of the real GameCube controller. Both in shape/size and also in being analog. To handle having the same amount of buttons they could add a second Z button. There also needs to be a wired variant. They don't have time to sync up controllers, desync controllers, etc. at tournaments. There's also input lag, as someone else here said, although realistically that hasn't seemed to be an issue with the Wii U Pro controllers.
