XOIC of Radishes posted:Danke. Preordered a Switch and regular edition of Zelda from Amazon. Still not entirely sold on the Switch, but I guess I have a month to change my mind if I'm not entirely confident in it. That's my thought. And if it's anything like every Nintendo console release ever, it'll be in short supply and you'll get your money back reselling it used even.

Really only need to worry if you're after the Master.

Got my special edition preorder in, but Amazon says the release date is the 13th, not the third. Hope that's a typo and I get it on the correct date.

I think if you're after the master edition at this point, you are going to spend 500 on ebay or 129 on ebay next year.

I talked to a local GS manager. This is in CA. He said the opening went smooth and they had enough for everyone. Except the ME. He called his DM to find out what happened. Apparently, GS did not allocate the ME. They just put them all in a big pool and when the EST stores opened, they got them all. Every. Single. One. Pretty hosed up.

I've got a Master from BB and a Special from Amazon in case the former falls through. Was hoping to get the Master from Amazon to get the prime discount, but i'll take it at non-scalped prices. Can always cancel the Special or sell it at price to a friend/goon if it does genuinely sell out. e; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N224U9S/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=21PBD857A1VGL&coliid=I2LZBXO1HMUMF4 This has been popping in and out of stock for the past hour, if you want it just refresh every few minutes.

Yeah the map is probably going to get framed and go next to my Zelda 1 manual map. Sword (pending Best Buy not canceling my order) will go right behind my desk so that it is in frame during all video calls with my Skull Kid. May just sell the coin and CD though.

I really hope the world is full of stuff, getting big time empty expanse vibes from the wideshots. Size is only cool to a certain point and then it just feels empty or starts feeling generic with copy/paste points of interest like those reefs in WW.

I wonder how the Master Sword will work in this. I'd assume they're not just going to give you an infinite-durability sword with good attack power and undermine the whole weapon-scavenging system. My guess is that it'll be some combination of the following: a) The Master Sword has durability but it can be repaired, or its durability regenerates over time. b) It's not particularly remarkable against most enemies, but is very strong against (or the only way to hurt) enemies closely associated with Ganon. c) It can't be used as an actual weapon until the very end of the game.

I'm going to guess that the master sword is an endgame item. It's not good but it has inherent magic that damages Ganon.

It could be sort of like Wind Waker, where the sword isn't anything special until Link fully powers it up with Sage Magic or whatever.

Or you just upgrade/reforge the Master Sword over time to improve its power/ability.

Zelda weapons have never really been about DPS stats, so if they go that route it'd be kind of lovely TBQH.

Zelda BotW is a journey of discovery. Where Link discovers the master sword. He discovers it is his cock and then buttfucks zelda with it.

Rime posted:Zelda weapons have never really been about DPS stats, so if they go that route it'd be kind of lovely TBQH. Weapons definitely have a clear attack stat in BotW and every weapon we've seen also has durability, so it definitely matters in one way or another. If the Master Sword was both a strong weapon and had infinite durability, you'd have little reason to use other weapons, which kills the whole weapon-scavenging thing. So they're going to have to limit it in some way, either by making it weak in most circumstances, only usable/worth using at the very end of the game, or giving it durability (that, I'd assume, can be repaired, unlike other weapons).

Kfroog posted:A Link to the Past is to the Zelda series what Super Metroid is to the Metroid series, i.e. the best one, because it was made in a time period when Nintendo's level designers really knew how to make this genre in particular work. They had respect for the player and also respect for themselves. They had the confidence to be subtle and trust the player to pick up on it. Ocarina of Time is the best one (for my taste), and I wish Metroid had an N64 game! Pumped for Breath of the Wild by the way, one more ride for my Wii-U. I'll pick up a Switch when it comes with that cool Mario Odyssey game packed in or a discount etc.

It has the game, a Sheikah switch case, some soundtrack CD and a coin, and a cloth map. I ended up getting it because it was 79 dollars on Amazon. I figure an actual switch case is going to end up being about 20 bucks anyway. That other stuff is just extra.

It looks like Link is carrying a very beaten up version of the sword in the trailer, so my guess is: 1) You rely purely on pick ups at the start and are always in danger of running out of items. Then, 2) You get the unpowered Master Sword which has infinite durability but is significantly weaker than many weapons you find, which means you can now use the sword on weak enemies and stockpile good weapons for hard areas, and then finally 3) Near the end of the game you get a fully powered infinite use master sword which the last quarter or third of the game is designed around.

Goddammit. Took half a day off work and sat in front of my Gamestop for 3 hours specifically to get the Master Edition, since in the 90 minutes between the end of the conference and when I had to go to bed, the thing wasn't listed (Target, Best Buy, Walmart), wasn't orderable (everywhere else), or was broken (Nintendo's own site). I'd say a third of the people who showed up before open today were going to preorder the Master Edition. We get in, and they're having trouble getting the Master Edition to show up on their computers. They assumed it was a glitch, and just told us to put $25 to preorder another edition, and once the Masters showed up, they'd swap them and let us know. I call them at 3, and he apologizes and says that it turns out they were online-only and were already all sold out. Every loving time Nintendo does a big Collectors Edition like that, some bullshit goes down and they get presold instantly, and only appear on eBay for 2-3x cost, and I don't get one. Why don't they realize that such limited editions only cost them money? They don't need to go overboard like other games do where you can find $150 limited editions shelf-warming for two years after the game's release, but when your production lot sells out in literally minutes 2 months before release...maybe do another run! This one I can at least partially blame on the various storefronts putting them up at absolutely lovely times (2am central on a Friday morning! Great plan!).
