I WANT TO FUCK FI

(Reposting from last thread)

Something interesting to note!

Following the trend set by Medli, Revali's name ALSO has a somewhat musical origin

Revali/Reveille(pronounced rev-ull-ee) is a type of trumpet call used in the military to wake up personnel

So in Breath of the Wild, Revali's name continues the trend of 'awakening' we have seen so far

Real spoilers?

Pretty good fakes?

Other than the 3 skins, what else is an easter egg?

Would the shield from the previous Zelda shown here mean it's a confirmation of the timeline or is it just another easter egg?

>>169166475
No, worst Zelda girl by far.

I still need to rearrange the shields on that, I could have organized it better initially but I got lazy

we also have this, and there is so much and it is remarkably on point and consistent that it is almost certainly real

>>169166519
those are real, but the tripfag has been gone since he posted those two outfits with all dyes.

he was someone who got the game somewhere in the us somehow and had no plans of uploading the game or the tik for anyone else and just wanted to tease people with little pieces of info.

hes probably still playing the game right now.

NUT

>>169166519
>>169166701

it's going to be Fashion Souls all over again

is this nintyg?

>>169166248
Yeah probably. Most Zelda fans want the game and it's going to sell well regardless, but I think Nintendo should have swiftly addressed the empty open world concern and shown some evidence to the contrary. What it boils down to is that I think it's arrogant of them to act like they're still the best in the world and everyone agrees so they don't have to actually prove their claims.

So we know that the BotW amiibos give weapons, do you think the game will also have generic amiibo support? unlocking low tier equipment and shit.

>>169166571
sub 200 HOYPE

This week goes by pretty fast so far.
Hopefully I won't break under the Hype next week

>>169168857
I hope the Smash Bros Link does something at least, it's the only one I have. Even just a chest and some food would be nice. The chest is also good to spawn in because that's an object I can sling around with Magnesis as well as blow away with Stasis. I wonder how much damage physics based objects do?

>>169168723
Arrogant? Most definitely.
Whether that'll end up biting them in the ass remains to be seen. In eight days we'll find out one way or the other.

My money's on not though. At least not to the general public. Sure there'll be thread after thread of shitting on it here on 4chan but to the rest of the world? Ninty has a diehard fan base that'll positively eat up whatever BotW turns out to be, flaws or no.

Can I a digital copy of this for my Wii U on launch day?

So did Nintendo not release anything like wallpapers and profile images, or am I just illiterate at the BotW website?

>>169171046
Yup, you will have to wait for the store to update though and Nintendo's server will be swamped, which means waiting till about noon or so, then waiting another hour to be able to access as the store boots you out over and over again and then finally waiting a few hours for the game to download as Nintendo's server is absolute dog shit. Seriously, waited 4 hours for Pokemon X to download when I picked it up shortly after it's release and that was only 1.7gigs. Try downloading a 13 gig game from them on launch day, I dare you.

Please save yourself the grief and pick it up at the store, you won't be playing on launch day otherwise.

>>169171354
Thanks for the advice but to be honest, Im not that excited and I don't really feel like going to the store, so I'll wait it out.

the wait for this game is literally killing me.

So the old lady in the trailer is Impa right

>>169175163
That was my assumption. Only main characters are getting voices.

Download codes show up on amazon.
They're 5€ more expensive than the retail copy.
Switch has 32GB internal memory.
Yeah, as if.

I've been able to test the demo of zelda on switch now and the only thing that "worries" me is the controls. B is sprint while X is jump, makes it really awkward to do basic shit like running around and jumping (at least with joy-cons). Hope you can configure this but Idk how nintendo is with that stuff since it's been a while since I've owned anything from them.

Hey Zelda fans, it's Commonwealth Realm. Is "fucking rocks" a meme, yet? You know, "fucking rocks." It's a meme yet, right? Riiiight?

And be sure to enter our Nintendo Switch giveaway, which we totally came up with on our own and did NOT decide to copy HMK for.


It's just so funny how hard they try to imitate actual game journalists. Now they've made basically a game review video and it's just over a week until launch! It's like little kids playing newsroom!

>>169180115
their last video was a bit much (botw being the best game of all time), but I like their channel. Their videos are easy to watch and informative. They feed my hype

>>169180662
I honestly like HMK better. Yeah, he's VERY obnoxious, but he looks at information unbiased and despite hype actually tries to give an informative analysis with more contribution than just "this is ah-mazing, ladies and gentlemen." I feel like that stuff's lacking in Commonwealth Realm's content, biased in that they were looking for any reason to say Child Timeline confirmed practically since E3 I feel, and unanalytical since they just repeat the information from the source with added fluff ("spectacular" "most immersive yet" ect.) 90% of the time, almost symbolized in how instead of cobbling all the current BotW trailers together for a unique intro they've just diced up the most recent one to put to their intro music each time. Like I touched on before, I just feel like they're trying to imitate professional journalism but are just falling short and it comes off as a comical parody to me.

HMK has surprisingly grown on me during the past few months. I've gone from hating him to kinda liking him.


We can both agree that Gameover Jesse is trash though, right? I mean, at least a third of his video titles/thumbnails are clickbait, pure and simple.

So what's this about massive story spoilers being out. I'd watch Jesse's video but his presentation seems to be worsening

>>169183550
I don't want to sound like an ass, but what's the point of the special edition?

Looks like I dodged the bullet... for now. The friend I was going to give this one to got a special edition so all he's missing out on is the statue. The 2nd order ghosted last week so I'm only surprised it took this long for Amazon to email me about it. One Master Edition is still there.

I think they may have spared me from losing both because the confirmation email for the MEs was paired with my Switch preorder.

>>169183271
I'm really sorry, anon; that blows.

this is making me nervous. I pre-ordered the Wii U standard edition on Amazon and now I'm scared it might be cancelled. Right now it looks like it's only special and master editions, but still.

>>169182816
the zelda preview embargo is up tomorrow, this is just the switch preview

So the Master Editions were apparently stolen. What does / LOZG/think of this?
http://nintendoeverything.com/amazon-cancelling-some-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-master-edition-pre-orders/

>>169183624
The case, at least, but I wanted the sword, too. Thing was, Amazon posted the Special Edition with the sword pic and I ordered before I even knew there WAS a Special Edition without the sword.

>>169183386
See above and know why I wholly place the blame on Amazon. Nintendo gave them a limit, Amazon probably oversold hoping people would cancel (after in-store preorders) or that they could coerce more out of Nintendo and have been sitting on their thumbs until now trying to decide what to do.

>>169183817
I thought the embargo for the games was March 1, or is that only for reviews?

>The biggest current issue with the Switch is one of basic reliability. Over the course of my time with Breath of the Wild, I’ve had repeated problems with the left Joy-Con controller partially or even completely losing sync from the Switch console while docked and connected to my television.

Some kind of Forest Dragon looks like. Kinda similar to that Volvagia lookalike that popped up a couple days ago.

Perhaps there'll be a Water Dragon as well? A Desert Dragon?
Maybe we're getting a repeat of TP where there's Guardian Spirit types that reign over specific areas of Hyrule.

Same anon here

I've managed to get to about 271 dollars in cash. Still considering going to Toys R Us on opening day and just gunning it for the videogame section to grab a switch. Gamestop just officially announced that they would have a few switch consoles available outside of the preorder group during the midnight release.


I might try for the midnight release. If I'm lucky I'll have the switch fully paid off with trade the help of trade in credit.

If I'm unlucky and don't get it, I'll just continue with my Toys R Us plan and have to drop about 47 dollars.


What do yall think? Is game stop worth a shot?

>>169194049
with the previews today, I would be very surprised if you can not get a unit on launch. with rumours of defective joy-cons and a very barebone OS, I'm guessing there will be less fighting to get one next week.

show up an hour or so before they open if you REALLY want to be sure.

>>169194049
Gamestop's confirmed to have a small amount of Switches outside of preorders as well. First come first serve.

So either you camp out at Toys R Us or Gamestop, your choice anon. You're likely to run into the same type of crowd at either.

>>169194049
How does Toys R US do theirs? Do they hand out tickets or do you just run for the games section when the employees open the doors?

I don't know what to do either.

>>169194314
I've heard they don't take preorders and you just have to get your hands on what you once when doors open.

>>169194243
>with the previews today, I would be very surprised if you can not get a unit on launch
>he actually believes this

Oh anon...

>>169194267

Weird thing is it's only the left one, so this may be an easy thing to patch

>>169201765
Something weird is going on. They couldn't be ready to release the thing if they had issues like that around. It's not like they didn't test the thing to hell and back before mass producing it and shipping it off all over the world.

What could possibly be causing this?

>>169201765
I doubt it's a hardware issue since something that big should have been caught in testing, but then again...RDOD.

>>169202008
Do you have to sync the joycons individually or just by putting them on the sides of the screen do they sync to the console?

>>169202191
According to the DF video I saw, you simply connect the two joycon upon turning the system on for the first time.

>>169202317
When you say connect you mean placing them on each side of the screen?

>>169202417
Yes.

Link doesn't have to do that one, chefs figured it out already.

so about the dlc...

your game is played with a cartridge, but the dlc content needs to be downloaded and installed. I wonder if there will be slowdowns or whatever when you use dlc content since it has to be streamed from the harddrive instead

same with patches, how will patches work with a cartridge? I havent used a cartridge since the 90s and we didnt have patches then...

Technology Editor Jimmy Thang played the game with a full charge on the screen's default brightness and got three hours and three minutes of battery life until the device keeled over. With a full charge and playing in airplane mode on full brightness, Reviews Editor Peter Brown got two hours and 50 minutes out of the console. Both figures come relatively close to Nintendo's three-hour claim.

If you're wondering how fast the Switch charges, Peter clocked a 49 percent charge after an hour in the dock.

They've mentioned nothing about NEEDing to eat before, maybe you can only eat a certain amount of food and +Fullness allows you to eat more within a certain timeframe.

>>169225972
>>169226201
>>169226135
fullness = stamina

+fullness would add bonus stamina (as we have seen before in gameplay)

I'm thinking it may be the wireless transmitters being kind of weak. Or if they are more capable, they are being run on less power to optimize battery life, at the cost of the signal strength.

Oh for fuck's sake
You're gonna pretty much BECOME Shiek in this game aren't you?

>>169230228
Well, if it gets fixed, it will likely be just the controllers alone getting updated.

But the fact that our fingers alone can provide interference is most uncool. I'd forgive the transmitters not communicating well if your whole damn body was in the way, but just fingers? That's a deal-breaker for me, I'm definitely going to wait for this stupidity to get fixed. Transmitters can't be so weak that our very fingers are problematic, our fingers are going to be getting in the way frequently during gameplay.

>>169229573
God, I hate that fucker. I made the mistake of watching his reaction to that last Zelda trailer.

I you are familiar with the 3DS, it will be pretty much the same. A cartridge, like a disc, is just another storage format. Cartridges have faster loading time than discs, so it shouldn't be a problem.

>>169230534
yeah I know you're right I just don't want to admit that tomorrow I am going to have to cancel my fucking pre-order and be without zelda on launch day.

>>169231153
Assuming that it doesn't have the same achilles' heel.

>>169230534
either they totally skimped on bluetooth (though even the shittiest transmitters are stronger than that) or theyre trying to save battery life by running the transmitters suboptimally

if its the first thing, nintendos is pretty fucked

I can't believe this is almost finally fucking happening guys. Holy hell its been one hell if a journey.

>>169231153
I can't, it's completely sold out everywhere here. for some reason you can STILL pre-order the console itself and get it day 1, but extra shit like the pro-controller is sold out so I'm guessing yurop just didn't get many accessories

>>169231272

buy a wii u and keep the change

>>169231017
I don't know if Nintendo has a history of sometimes making right on its screw-ups, so that's worth considering. But that's all the more unlikely (if it already isn't) due to how they've been bleeding money with the WiiU, so they'd rather minimize losses and screw you over.

You could also get the Switch anyway and then sell the joycons for $60 and wait for an updated version, so you're not without a Switch if the Switch's availability ends up limited for a time. The Pro controller might be the right alternative if it doesn't have the same weakness (probably will, I bet).

>>169231403
Not the pre-order anon here, I already have a WiiU. But I want to try out that sweet new Zelda game on the Switch instead.

>>169231332
>by running the transmitters suboptimally
I strongly doubt the electrical engineers would resort to that. They likely skimped out on the transmitter to keep the hardware cost low.

It's not even release day and Nintendo is already tripping up, dammit.

this will sound fanboyish, but I am really doubting this would have passed nintendo's quality assurance. They fuck up with a lot of things, but their hardware is legit.

this is such a massive screwup of something so basic that I am struggling to believe they would ship it like that. What about 1,2 switch game? youre body and hands will be blocking the controller all the time. When they showcased the joy-cons at the event, he was even lying down in the couch with them.

something is not right.

Does the interference problem only happen when you disconnect the joycons from the switch and block the joycon with the fingers of both hands while playing? Sounds like only a small issue if that's the case.

>>169232792
I agree.

>>169233014
also happens if you're too far away because the signal isnt strong enough

We'll have to see how much it affects gameplay tomorrow before deciding to cancel pre-orders I guess...

>>169233121
What's "too far away"?
15 feet? Less than the WiiU with stock sensor bar?

>>169232792
Yeah, it all seems pretty bizarre.

Perhaps a firmware update will fix the issue for good. Only time will tell, I guess.

>>169232792
If anything Ninty can use this fuckup as an opportunity to develop a quick patch to roll out before the Switch gets released to the general public.

Better for an issue like this to be caught earlier rather than later.

another thing I've noticed is that every single one of the complaints about this issue comes from American previews. not a single one in Europe that I can find have run into this , which leads me to believe that it might be something related to regions and their standards for wireless signal channels/strength. I know there's a difference between the two regions.

>>169233945
US and Europe are using the same standard. A few EU countries used to differ, but have joined the rest of Europe now.

>>169233945
It could be a manufacturing defect that only effected some of the preveiw consoles.

>>169232481
while nintendo fucking up isnt out of the ordinary, shitty IR remote controls can get better strength than this

Well it could be a spinoff, but I'd like it to play like a standard 2D Zelda.

someone tell me why a good Dpad is such a wanted feature. I barely ever use it, it's usually just to swap items or whatever. I've played every console and used every controller since NES and I can't think of a single time where I thought "damn I really want a better Dpad"

>>169245523

The only time I really prefer a d-pad is for 2D platformers and I find it easier to put commands in fighting games with d-pads.

Because I see them, and they are flammable.

Question about the switch.. Since the joycons have their own battery life, is there a way to charge them while using the joycon grip attached to your console through cable? Or do you have to charge the joycons themselves while its docked?

>>169249367
Because

>They have nice clubs I want
>They have cooked meals

Does the switch come with streaming capabilities? Or do I need to buy a capture card

>>169250894
the joy-cons will automatically start to charge when you connect them to the tablet I heard, which is also perhaps a reason you hear why someone gets 3h of zelda in handheld, and some only get 2h20m.

>>169251940
I meant in docked mode, using the joycons and the joycon grip, how the fuck am i supposed to charge them and play in docked mode at the same time?

>>169252219
uh you cant unless you get the charger grip for 30 bux

but you have 20hrs on one battery charge, so unless you're planning to play for longer than that in one go you're in the clear

Guys, I think this game is legit.

This is it!

Oh what the fuck

>>169252884
You just reminded me, there's probably a giant boss at the bottom of Lake Hylia, or maybe in the Ocean. That's gonna be cool

>>169252949
What? You worried you're gonna run out of battery in your joycons after a short 40 hour game session?

>>169253323
you don't understand, if his joycons don't remain above 90% battery he might have a fit

>>169252830
I was thinking about doing a 24 hour marathon but I tried doing that with Pokemon Sun and I was only able to make it about 20 hours anyways. Thanks for helping me maintain a healthy sleep schedule Ninty

>>169252949
like I said, unless you plan to do more than 20 hours of gaming without ANY breaks, your best bet is to purchase the charging grip for $30.

you can do 20 hours, take an hour break and get some food you fucking autist, and then continue with another 20 hours.

you actually pull the chests up with magnesis, so far no diving has been shown, but it might be a hidden mechanic?

So if Gamestop doesn't have any Switches for me on release night, what would be my next best bet, Best Buy, Walmart, Fry's?

>>169256337
Maybe if you wear heavy enough armor you sink? There will probably be water breathing potions and zora items too

>>169256458
I'd say Target. Last I checked with them, my town is confirmed to have some loose Switches available on launch day.

Make sure to bring a weapon, it's gonna be fucking war no matter where you plan on picking it up.

>america when new electronics become available

meanwhile in yurop, you can still pre-order for day 1.

>>169256458
You can try https://brickseek.com/. I don't know how to use it though.

>>169257029
I know and I'm freaking jealous.

I regret watching the presentation instead of keeping an eye on amazon that day.

I'm gonna post this because I had no idea the species of flower is apparently called a "silent princess"

It's real, one of the videos with "joycon issues" shows link with the Sheikah shield on his back.
