NX is going to be an AI they transferred Iwata into before he died, and I'm looking forward to playing Zelda with him.

inevitable controller gimmick

If they just give me a normal god drat controller ONCE this decade I will be happy.

With their handhelds they usually release an improved version some time down the line. Has that happened with their regular consoles as well? I haven't kept up with Wii/Wii U hardware. I'm usually a bit wary of getting first version hardware in general.
Basically the train of thought goes: should I get a Wii U for cheap now and enjoy a handful of games on that, plus Zelda, and then get a NX late?

yeah i dunno how people are already decided on a thing like this, we know next to nothing about the nx's price or launch titles or inevitable controller gimmick

I would be really surprised if the NX version isn't superior in some objective manner - better resolution, better textures generally, better frame rate, something like that. I want to experience the "best" version of the game, and if they're identical in terms of feature or function then that leaves hardware power as the decider

I guess if it ends up being pure handheld or pure VR I may reconsider, but the WiiU is a sinking ship and tbh I'm pretty pumped at starting anew with a sweet Zelda

Can you climb almost everything or just rocks/hills? Did anybody try to climb the Temple of time for example?

You can definitely climb buildings.

All the demo videos say that Link can climb on pretty much everything, stamina willing, except for the walls in the shrines. That may extend to dungeons too perhaps.

With their consoles oddly enough there tend to go on and release interior versions later.

The NES got a really neat top loading revision though.

Hard to say without knowing what the NX really is. I'm leaning towards maybe getting an NX with it just for the better visuals, but I'm not sure.

Even with the usual dearth of post-launch releases (for any console), Breath of the Wild will probably keep you going for ages.

We'll see. This is the first article I've seen that's speculated he's talking about graphics - everything else i've heard has speculated he was answering in a "this isn't a Twilight Princess situation" sort of way

The game was looking pretty rough at spots in the demo in terms of some textures, incredibly bad pop-in, and visible chugging. I'd be shocked if there wasn't some benefit to the NX version, even if it's an indirect one like "yeah i guess we have more RAM now so maybe offload more poo poo there to minimize HDD reads"

From all accounts I've seen the chugging was an artifact of the stream and not the demo itself. I haven't seen anyone who's played the game said the framerate was dropping much.

Demos tend to be based off an older build rather than the absolute cutting-edge development version, so I'd hold judgement on things like pop-in until release. Especially when it won't be out until next year.

I'm pretty sure I saw one of the commentator players climb the ruins near the very start of the game. So yeah, confirmed climbable buildings.

A dude on reddit got screenshots of the floating thing in the sky from multiple angles:



A dungeon like the City in the Sky? Remnants of Skyloft? A gigantic airship? Whatever it is, it's another awesome thing to wonder over and one day finally explore :neckbeard:

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
First thing like half of all people will do day 1 is move a giant rock near something they can climb, freeze the rock and beat the poo poo out of it, then climb the thing and jump on to the rock. At which point, one way or another, magic should happen. First thing half of everyone that is left will do is make sure they have the hang glider before they try that.

What did the wii u tablet do for the E3 demo? Was it just for inventory management or did it do something else?

I don't think it even did inventory management, it basically just displayed some of the map and a list of controls or something.

Aonuma made some comments about how it's annoying to have to look down at the gamepad but it was fine in the HD ports so I'm guessing they probably removed most of the Wii U-specific functionality for the sake of the NX version.

I want to see the NX console itself, launch lineup, and the NX version of BotW to see if there's any major differences.

If there's nothing major between the 2, I think BotW will be the perfect swan song for the WiiU.

People should really hold off until the NX is revealed before they make any decisions about this game. There is an outside chance that the NX is just a souped-up handheld machine (that can maybe transmit TV signals to a dongle), so it's possible that the NX could actually look worse than the Wii U version. It's unlikely, but possible.
