short answer, me tooFeels like a lot of things are lining up for a presentation of some sort.
Personally I'm losing faith that there will be hardware there.
Majoras Mask was immediately controversial back then because of the time mechanic so I don't know if it would have got more of an impact then Wind Waker. Which was also controversial to say the least.
But a I guess that Gamecube graphics would have helped Majoras Mask shine a lot more.
The biggest problem for the Gamecube was the competition and their and its own marketing tho.
If we’re talking about console sellers, I don’t know what else would work better than BotW2.
It doesn’t need to live up to the first game, nor should it be expected to. But it’s still a brand new open world Zelda game that follows up what many consider to be the best game of the previous decade and one of the greatest games of all time. That’s got money written all over it.
That’ll still be the most Nintendo has done for me since Kirby came out (Strikers had such a botched launch with me and the group who bought it)sounds like worst case we get a Mario Kart tweet and/or drop
yeah. even with Covid and all I still think this is a hefty amount of time for a "safe" BotW sequel. It will have its own identity and legacy for sure.Spicy opinion: it’s been 5 years of development time, people should 100% expect it to live up to the first game. I believe that it will.
Yeah nobody knew when the Lite or OLED were being announced either, the announcement will be a complete surprise to everyone.short answer, me too
long answer, we probably won't get any insider hints when we're close, so I still think it could come at pretty much any time
to be fair... thats the situation for like every Zelda sequel everNintendo has spent so much god damned money and time on botw2, it has enormous expectations to live up to
Again, BotW is regarded as one of the greatest video games of all time. No game, no matter how long the development time, should have expectations that high.Spicy opinion: it’s been 5 years of development time, people should 100% expect it to live up to the first game. I believe that it will.
their employees have lives, unlike usNintendo hasn't posted anything today...
My guyNintendo hasn't posted anything today...
It's a Saturday and a major figure in Japan just got assassinated.Nintendo hasn't posted anything today...
Destructible environments? Has that been rumored or hoped for?honestly it would be enough if botw2 lived up to the pre-release expectations for the game
massive dungeons, destructible environments, substantially better visuals
The very first teaser trailer at E3 2014 showed a guardian destroying a small wooden bridge and people thought the terrain or world in general could be more destructible.Destructible environments? Has that been rumored or hoped for?
Would be NUTS with BOTW's art design, holy shit
Can't believe you aren't fond of subtitlesThese fake Zelda subtitles are always so damn nonsensical. No Zelda subtitle has ever been a jumbled mess of words. Every single subtitle has made sense in the context of the game's story. Like make something like Ocarina of Time or something if you want anyone to even entertain your "leak" for more than a second.
I was referring to the bridge as said by othersDestructible environments? Has that been rumored or hoped for?
Would be NUTS with BOTW's art design, holy shit
Yeah, I have doctor's appointments, @Magic-Man is sick...Feels like a lot of things are lining up for a presentation of some sort.
Yeah thats what I think too. It would be revealed after Splatoons launch.Why would they announce a limited edition OLED if any sort of new hardware announcement was close
COVID: "Here's my offer. You get Mario Kart DLC, but in exchange I get to beat your ass. Deal?"Yeah, I have doctor's appointments, @Magic-Man is sick...
Not at the Game Awards, just nearby in a totally different presentation, to flex on Geoffif they don't announce it in the next month they're not going to until the game awards or later
Waiting for the Splatoon OLED to release is the new ‘letting Animal Crossing breath’they're not gonna wait for the splatoon oled to come out before they talk about hardware
if they don't announce it in the next month they're not going to until the game awards or later
Nintendo doesn’t know what anniversary meanThey could announce new Hardware in October on the anniversary of the Switch reveal?
They do that kinda all the time, though usually they wait a lot longer than a week.Why would they announce a limited edition OLED if any sort of new hardware announcement was close
I'd take some covid in exchange for, like, maybe Chrono 3. I don't have anyone I wanna socialize with.COVID: "Here's my offer. You get Mario Kart DLC, but in exchange I get to beat your ass. Deal?"
All they have to do is make Zelda playable and everyone will be fine lol.Nintendo has spent so much god damned money and time on botw2, it has enormous expectations to live up to
Are we pumped/very optimistic for Monday morning or are we looking at a different week?
I was referring to a Monday/Tuesday announcement, but yeah I can totally see them delaying an announcement due to the former Prime Minister's death.My guy
It's a Saturday
And their former Prime Minister isn't even in the ground yet
I still to this day. Am shock how well BOTW reviewed lol. Didn’t have a huge Story and mediocre dungeons and bosses which is a huge part of the series. They nailed what I felt was gonna be their hardest challenge on their first goal. BOTW 2 with added great dungeons, better story and awesome bosses? Oh boy. That’s a winner
Can't believe you aren't fond of subtitles
like "The darkest Darkness brutally returns"
Kirby games are more scary than Zelda ones...It always made me laugh how fake "leaked" Zelda titles always were really dark and edgy. Fans have this idea that the Zelda series is some kind of dark epic fantasy, meanwhile the "darkest" entry in the franchise has stuff like this:
I'm so lttp here, but huge congrats buddy!Just got a job that’ll make me able to pay my mortgage for the month on 1 check which ya think be my first thought.
Except. It wasn’t it.
It was “dang, I’ll be working when Xenoblade 3 launches and won’t get to play till days later”.
What can I say
In all seriousness. This will take a load of my back regarding money.
Monday is the anniversary of Satoru Iwata's death, which Kit and Krysta have mentioned is an off-limits day of the year for Nintendo moving forward since his death. Tuesday is the first day an announcement of some kind can be reasonably expected.I was referring to a Monday/Tuesday announcement, but yeah I can totally see them delaying an announcement due to the former Prime Minister's death.
nahBOTW 2 is a low budget safe sequel that re-uses BOTW assets
