Is that the usual price? I think they’re at least twice that in Japan.

[Nintex]

In Europe $5 would be a 75% discount. 

I pre-ordered the TOTK Link Amiibo for like 25 Euro

I love how a website exists called "Pocket Tactics" and they gave this a 10/10

[HardcoreRetro]

I liked the Eurogamer review where the guy starts whining about the implications of it being a "war" game. Jesus Christ, can the internet culture of just being able to tell people to kill themselves return already.

Unalive yourself in Minecraft you fucking douchebag.

Anyways, subscribe to my blog to read my diatribe about kids playing "Cowboys and Indians".

Ironic considering how much they will rave about GTA6 or any other number of overly violent games without a single bit of criticism of the themes.

Some interesting games I've never seen before

A questionable choice or two on that list, but he has Fight'N Rage listed so he's OK in my book.

I'm unsure if it's just the guy has his preferred types, or that the eshop is so full of them, but I couldn't stop noticing how much anime waifu tiddy persisted across this list.

Just take a look at that avatar. Definitely a weird paedo fetish vibe, then the fact that he's a youtuber just seals the deal.

Which are questionable ones?

Most of these are cheap or on sale right now, so I'm thinking of grabbing a few. Fight'N Rage, Smelter, maybe Sword of the Vagrant and Lost Ruins.

The Vagrant (same game) = 79 cents on Steam.
1.67 for the bundle with a digital artbook and cosplay pictures

[Beezy]

Smh wow, thanks. So the Switch version is the grift edition.

[Joe Molotov]

The Switch version has more whimsy.

[Nintex]

It looks gorgeous and I've never seen a Nintendo LE item that went down in price. They only go up.
The rare exception is Wii U stuff.

I don't think this'll explode 3, 4 or even 5 times in price like rare 3DS models such as the Metroid and SNES ones (considering how many of these will be produced) but I do think that it will retain its value.

You know what I'm going to get a wisdom teeth extracted at the end of this week, the perfect time to file my taxes.
Maybe I can buy it with my tax returns. We were supposed to be compensated for the high energy costs caused by the Biden Wars.

Filed my taxes, didn't get anything with regards to the current political climate^TM but I'm getting 500 because of the higher than usual healthcare costs

The Advance Wars music is still great. Voices not so much.

I haven't picked up my copy yet, can you turn them off?

[pilonv1]

I didn't see a way to do it. Wish I could because I just can't deal with Grit.

Still skeptical

Look at Animal Crossing, still an unfinished game

[Polident Hive]

Some read like a Switch Pro would been appreciated.

So the game controls even assier than botw?  Will Nintendo allow any button configurations this time?  It's bad enough using sadcons.

[Nintex]

More likely a skill issue

[Supermanisdead]

didn't kotaku put out a guide to pirating metroid dread the day it came out? nintendo such bullies 

[Nintex]

Read some impressions on Xenoblade: Future Redeemed the DLC Nintendo dropped right in between the launch window of Metroid Prime Remastered, Fire Emblem DLC, Advance Wars and Tears of the Kingdom.
Seems like the fans really like it, about 24 hours to complete. Great music as always. Lots of nods and references to previous games. Rex/Shulk team up. Great story that wraps up most of the plot spanning all of the Xenoblade Chronicles saga.

Now do I finish Engage first or go play this, or do I finally finish my run of XB2 and beat Torna before playing Future Redeemed... with just 15 days left until Tears of the Kingdom drops. 

[Supermanisdead]

dont burn yourself out on a dogshit game like xb2 but torna is decent. its just very annoying to actually beat it.

[demi]

i watched the dlc on youtube. it does nothing to repair the dogshit story. just a bunch of easter egg references (OMG XENOBLADE X?!) with a Zanza ripoff final fight (confirming XB1 is the best)

[james]

I still don't know the buttons in Zelda

[Pissy F Benny]

Z + down + A to do a backflip

[james]

I haven't been able to find Z since the N64

Recently played a Wii game and when you're prompted to push B, C or Z it's a mindfuck

[Nintex]

I've actually made it quite far in XB2 I just dropped it at some point. The most annoying thing is the progression blocks that require certain skills otherwise I enjoy it (not as good as XB1 or 3 though).
The side quests are also too convoluted for little reward.

Oh my. I knew the post had low standards, but this is bad. He spends more time on nonsense and a YouTube trailer analysis than impressions of the game.

“Ocarina of Time” from 1998 is often referred to as the “Citizen Kane” of video games, in part because it dictated how games would present fighting in 3D space, an influence that persists today, as in the upcoming big-budget “Final Fantasy XVI.”

 

“Breath of the Wild,” the prequel to “Tears,” disrupted open-world game design, relying on player curiosity to determine the game’s events rather than any script.

 

During my “Tears” session, I unlocked the entrance to a sky dungeon by timing my 50,000-feet-in-the-air jumps while moving floating platforms around with Ultra Hand. Nintendo representatives overseeing my play said they had not seen anyone else solve the puzzle the way I did.

 

“Tears” seems to be a fusion of the traditional Zelda adventure and the DIY recipe system of the coronavirus viral hit of 2020, “Animal Crossing.”

 

“They added verticality and a seamless world, where you can go from the top of a mountain down to a crevice, where there’s even more to explore,” said HMK, whose first name is Gio but who goes by his username in the gaming world for privacy reasons.

Good to see the post still has the we will dox everyone we talk to policy.

Say what you will about kotaku, but I’ll trust their review far more than the ones written by the bozos who attended the Nintendo event.

[HardcoreRetro]

People who's loved ones died to it might know this one.

"the coronavirus viral hit of 2020"

Dear lord, why put that in your preview for a game. You fucking wacko.

They'll give it a 10/10 just like all the other schmucks.

Magical Dropping, if you will.

Got my beautiful Tears of the Kingdom OLED Switch

Got my beautiful Tears of the Kingdom OLED Switch 

Congrats, did you own a vanilla Switch already? How does it stack up?
Hopefully I get some good returns on F1 betting tommorow 

I'm still not sure what to do, I badly want that TOTK Switch but it doesn't seem that 'rare' and Nintendo might drop a new system soon.
Also it's always a pain to Switch your old stuff to a new Nintendo system

[MMaRsu]

Where do I get this!!!

Shit has leaked so lets fucking go

[HardcoreRetro]

Damn, my boy Zelda is in a cave. That has never been done before.

Anyways, it's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

Ftfy

Nintendo is probably going to literally murder some people over this leak. I can't remember the last time a Nintendo game this big leaked early.
Fire Emblem Engage leaked but that was just a few screenshots. Now the entire game is out there.

What little I've seen from the leaks looks fucking amazing though

[Polident Hive]

Saw some are already playing it on emulators (the ryu- one, not yuzu yet?). Those boys move fast. By the time it officially releases it’ll be 4K 60FPS with a nude Shrek mod replacing Link.

[HardcoreRetro]

I like the people already whining about ending spoilers. It's a fucking Zelda game.

Link beats Ganondorf with a little help from Zelda.

Same thing happened with BOTW, the wiiu version leaked a week ahead of the release. Pokémon games also leak ahead of time.

This has been the standard for Nintendo systems since Wii and Ds. At least it’s not as bad as the 3ds where you were able to download the files right from Nintendo’s servers.

thats why Links Awakening is superior 

[Kevtones]

Wait, the entire map of the underground is the size of the my penis? What in the flying fuck?

[team filler]

post all the leaks and spoilers pls.


I remember leaks used to be easy to find with a search. now all that comes up is people talking about things they saw with no video or screenshots. 

[Potato]

Underworld caverns!
 

If you're all gonna be posting spoilers, I'll be avoiding this thread until release. Enjoy boritos, see you on the other side!

[Kevtones]

Sorry y’all edited!

[Nintex]

THE MAD LADS DID IT

mild spoilers

Big DUNGEONS confirmed. Like Real Big Dungeons, with puzzles and rooms and a theme and music and everything.

The Underground basically is the size of the Overworld.
So it's Overworld + Underground + Sky Islands.
