I've thought for a while now that it'd be cool to have Zelda games that focused on other pieces of the Triforce and let you play as their respective holders, with tweaked gameplay to match. The Wisdom title would have you play as Zelda and solve physics puzzles with cool magical abilities while defeating enemies with stealth and trickery, and the Power title would be a character-action game made by Platinum where you play as Ganondorf and stylishly kick the poo poo out of your enemies while "solving" dungeons by turning all the doors into rubble. They could even tailor the villains so to show the potential dark side of other Triforce pieces, with kind of a rock-paper-scissors thing going; Zelda would be saving her kingdom from a military coup lead by one of the knights (Wisdom>Courage), and Ganondorf could be liberating his people from deceitful and manipulative Hyrulian Queen who has somehow turned them against him (Power>Wisdom).

Yeah, except Ganondorf's would take place just after he took over Hyrule and you have to decorate his castle like Happy Home Designer.

I'd like a sidescrolling Zelda game with a pop-up book aesthetic.

So First4Figures is doing a "life-sized" line of video game poo poo, and their first release is Majora's Mask:

It's dope, if you have $400 to throw away.

Funny & brilliant that they have several different payment plan options. Speaks volumes of their target audience.

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!).

Sorry you can't get your video game sword statue.
