Gonna be a long, cold winter....

Sonic Country

This really seems like it was meant to be a bundled title for the Switch Pro. One day we are going to find out if it truly was in development, or if it still is.

Anyone in that position without competent legal and financial (or ones that they actually listen to), shouldn't be in that position, and won't for long. It's easy to be stupid when you're broke, but if you got that kind of money, you better listen and take advice from the professionals. No pun intended, but it's literally not a game, or if you treat like one you better have some 1-Ups in your pocket.

@KingdomTears I think you're at the point where you'd just need to avoid the internet all together... I've found spoilers even cruising Google News... Just gonna have to unplug to avoid them.

Makes sense, she also makes me wanna do bad things.

@Jayenkai Spoilers...

OG 8-bit GTA. Gotta get dat paper!

"outrageously dated level design, clunky controls, a severe lack of polish, muddy and unimpressive graphics"

Sounds a lot like the top rated game right now on the Switch.

I keed... I keed....

That's something that could be fixed, if not by Nintendo, then the community. If a speed runner can use a stick and an apple to beat the game, I'm sure we could work something out.

@OctoAmbush Pretty easy to make cold resistant food from peppers. Cheaper than clothes.

I've been tortured more than the Toroks on YouTube with my crappy builds. Caught on fire, drowned, launched into a ceiling, I was never good at legos, or tinker toys. Love the old Banjo Nuts and Bolts concept, but I suck at it.

I admit I might need therapy after looking at these and thinking of my lame attempts to build anything. I suck at it. I literally climbed Death mountain, that's how bad I am.

I’m as Nintendo as the next guy, but a $70 fighting game on an underpowered (most likely close to EOL) console, is a stretch.

@sabreman64 It's the portal activator from the shrines.

@SlimPieEats Should have just bought some green mushrooms.

Yeah, it’s a shame that Nintendo’s software runs faster for pirates. I don’t really know what stopped them from releasing a Switch Pro along side this game and letting customers decide. Could have given the Switch a little longer lifecycle, as well. Nintendo is great at making games but is notoriously bad at hardware decisions almost every other generation.

Which is why we needed a next generation Switch with the debut of this game. Are they holding out the next Mario or Metroid for their next hardware? If not, what would sell it?

@Nanami_Ataraxia If I believed the inter-webs I would have thought his name was Zelda?

Today's space launch has been scrubbed due to in-climate weather.... we have to wait until we can build a proper fire.

"It isn’t just the big titles."

I totally read that wrong....

No way to know. So many Steam Deck knock offs entering the market, it may not have anything to do with the Switch. Knowing Nintendo, if you even eluded to anything related to them, they'd fit you for cement shoes.

Yikes. Think I'd just rather sail the seven seas than hang out for two days. jk

@FawfulsFury or other people...

Pong was invented after I was born, and I still can't bring myself to play these.

I guess after a cool billion making it easily accessible to pirates doesn't really matter as much. With TOTK leaking early there might be a chance that Nintendo moves more towards movies. Can you imagine any game bringing in a billion???

@Cashews I did my time and am too old for the trenches. I'll probably just be back here in the states stuffing MREs into bags.

I contemplated an OLED Switch for this game but I'm too afraid that the Switch is near it's swan song. Probably why they haven't announced a Switch 2, yet. Only thing that might have changed my mind if the $70 game came bundled with an OLED.

@Cashews My fear is that will make digital the product category of choice and then physical gets left out in the cold. Make no doubt, that is exactly what the gaming companies want. One copy, one owner. Second hand sales would die on the vine. More options, more ability to save. I have bought digital but it's not my preferred method of buying games.

@-wc- I'd say for anyone who wants another Zelda game, then buy this one. You can't pirate the game and then complain if they never make another one.

@-wc- Well, to be fair, you'd also have to take Reggie's comments as tongue-in-cheek. They do sound kind of threatening even though we know he's just paraphrasing a movie-line. Or do we? looks over shoulder

From what I hear, it's not even the gold copy making the rounds. I've had this game preordered for at least as long as preorders have been allowed, probably dating back to the BOTW2 title.

To fully prepare, schedule vacation time now...

Zelda? Any good? Never heard of it....

"Mario number one!"

@Serpenterror Can't debate that... yet. But, yeah, since it was literally called BOTW2 forever, hard to shake that feeling. Give me traditional dungeons and I'll change my mind.

Is there a demo for it? Seems like a lot of the it's gonna be bad or on the fence comments in here could be resolved by that. OR maybe there just happy being pessimistic.

@Dr_Lugae It was all sour grapes by rich people... I tried to hold back my tears...

@nessisonett Didn't know that was a thing. I know the actor who was in the original movie and cried the most about Pratt, John Leguizamo, isn't even Italian but likes to pretend he is. Just a ridiculous controversy to begin with, but pretty much a common occurrence these days.

I haven’t read the whole thing, but sounds like Nintendo actually gave the company a chance to remove their IP. Guess they should have listened. Probably we’re too busy making money off people paying premiums to download content in order to speed their downloads up.

They have a legal and fiduciary obligation to protect their IP and bad legal things happen if they don't. It's nothing personal, even if it feels that way.

@JONOFTHEJONS Your princess is in another castle.

What's the purpose of a pre-order in 2023? Why?

Finish crying about lack of traditional dungeons and breakable weapons and pray this one resolves that...

Can we just start posting the name of all of the original creators here?

@NielsNL Yeah, that made my spidey senses tingle... Blasphemous.

Ya got me. I clicked. Thought since it was 4/6 I was safe. Should be a law requiring April Fools gags to be removed and properly stored at midnight of 4/1. LOL

@Chlocean That's Nintendo and Valve. Figure out what works and then wait a decade or so to release a new one. Just think of how long it took to make Half Life 3.

@Ogbert Ignoring him in everything but an actual new Mario video game....

@Tasuki Or just a failed review based on expectations from a fanatic.
