With that out of the way - Let's hear it for MAY!



It’s dangerous to exist alone

May, huh?
It’s time for yet another month and yet another General Discussion ST to take form and follow us through whatever life will have in store for us during the back half of spring 2023. This thread- like the General Discussion threads of the past - is the main thread for gathering, chilling and socialising, as well as discussing everything Nintendo, and everything life.
Life is many things for many people - it can range from joyous to mysterious to a flurry of hardships, seemingly in the blink of an eye at times. But it’s essential to know that we have each other. Help is but a question away, and it’s through mutual support, empathy and understanding that we can share good, bad and ugly times together, and come out all the stronger for it.

And if all else fails, we always have the spectacular and wondrous world of video games to rely on. The by far largest part of the month of May will most likely see Famiboards dot com lose our collective minds over The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
In all honesty, nothing else this month comes close. More than six years coming, and close to four years in the collective consciousness of the gaming world, Link’s latest grand adventure takes us through the open skies, across intriguing stories and into challenges greater than ever before - all while sporting a huge apple crate with wheels on it.
It’s finally time to open our hearts to this new, gargantuan journey and be prepared to tackle what will be either a genre-defining masterpiece, an earth-shattering disappointment, or just a happy medium.
We’ve fastened our seatbelts. Prepared our home-baked pizzas. We’re ready. More than ready. More than “more than ready”. If everything falls into the places they’re meant to fall into, we’re in for a really legendary month - in the truest sense of the word.

Upcoming games
May is perhaps on the thin side in terms of big games with hard-confirmed dates (“They’re afraid of overshadowing TotK”, amirite?) but as usual when it comes to the monthly calendar of the Switch, it has a little for everyone.

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Formerly known as the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom will expand the world of Hyrule into the skies above. Link will this time tackle the world with his new magical arm that will help him uncover and defeat Ganondorf, his servants and the great upheaval.
Who are the new characters? Where is Zelda? It will not be long until we will be given all the answers handed to us on a file with a modest amount of gigabytes worth of magic. It’ll be an agonising, slow and painful wait that will undoubtedly be all the more worth it when we’ll be handed the keys to the kingdom on Mat 12th.

A Rush of Blood To The Head
Lego 2K Drive

Lego 2K Drive takes you to Bricklandia, where you’ll be undertaking quests, drive across tracks and indulge into all of the creative frenzy and jolly vibes that every Lego game comes with. An open world and the ability to build crazy vehicles is at the forefront of this high-velocity experience.
Racing with incredible speed across vast and open tracks and worlds is what Lego 2K Drive is all about. Whether you want to just explore the world, or drift along race tracks with all the speed you can possibly muster, you better prepare your bricks for the game’s release on May 19th.

Everyday Life
Farming Simulator 23

The farming sim to end all farming sims is back! In Faming Simulator 23, you will take the steering wheel of various vehicles and indulge in the authentic farming experience to your heart’s content, plowing, weeding and tend to all kinds of farm animals at your own pace.
Production chains to set in motion, crops to harvest and over 100 different farming vehicles will all help you to fully immerse yourself in the farming experience of your dreams. Get ready for maximum tractor hype when the game plows its way onto the Switch on May 23rd.

Viva La Vida
Other notable May releases

Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 - May 11th
No Place Like Home - May 4th
Warhammer 40.000: Boltgun - May 23rd
Dokapon Kingdom: Connect - May 9th

Events
The arrival of a brand-new Zelda game of course calls for some events and happenings. Here’s what’s in store.

Launch party
We at Famiboards staff have prepared a grand event to celebrate the launch of Tears of the Kingdom. Simply put, it’s a launch party.
The launch party will run in a separate thread, from today all the way to the game’s midnight release on May 12th. The idea is mainly to create a thread in which to laugh, scream, hype, dance and smile, but there will also be badges to get and activities to take part in. What are you waiting for?

Weekly polls
In addition to the launch party, this General Discussion ST will follow the tradition of hosting weekly points of discussion, this time in the form of weekly polls. Once every Friday, a new straw poll will be posted in the thread containing a Zelda-related topic for us to vote in.

Given how crazy 3DS prices are, are you gonna buy an extra 'spare' Switch just in case you need it?

Tragic news, everyone. Tears of the Kingdom comes out on Mother's Day weekend, so I won't be able to play it until I get back home late Sunday night. I have plans to spend the entire weekend with my wonderful, incredible, amazing mother that I love with all my heart. 😢

Amazing ST, wow! Beedle at the end killed me lmao
 
Avalanche and bruins gone in the same night wtf

Still beaming Leafs are in round 2
I knew playoff hockey was intense, but when you have your own team it’s another level. Before I would casually root for the western Canadian teams (which meant not having many playoff series to watch) or the Capitals since I lived over there (they actually had success). Nothing felt like this though when you have to withstand the 6 man attack.

Congrats on the Leafs getting that weight off their backs finally.
 
Slowly learning hiragana on Duolingo and when it asks me to draw kana from memory I feel like setting myself on fire
 
wild ST, great work! cheers to all in all things and a merry Zeld
 
April went by in a blink of an eye, watch these 12 days be the most excruciatingly long in the year.

May-June is going to be such a great combo for games. Zelda to kick things off with plenty of time to itself, and then June is absolutely jam-packed with games - to go along with the usual June game shows and announcements, even without E3. Should be a fun time of the year, even if I'll be buried in backlog for most of the rest of 2023
 
I don't know whether my claim can actually be counted if it's this vague and uncertain, but if possible, I'd love to take a whack at one of these STs! Y'all are inspiring, always doing an excellent job with the OP. Put me down for whatever month sees the release of Metroid Prime 4. Whether that's October of 2026, or May of 2042. I'm cool with either.
 
Started my Switch post midnight and first thing I saw from the Switch newsfeed was something like "Tears of the Kingdom releases next week"
They work fast, and that felt - so close now.


Damn

Thanks for the great ST @Irene ! Happy International Worker’s Day everyone !

And last but not least:

 
Anything important happening this month?
The long awaited sequel to a beloved Switch game is coming out in like ten days that fans have been anxiously counting down the very seconds to…Fuga Melodies of Steel 2!

Also some indie game called Tears of the Kingdom I think? Hope it won’t get overshadowed when it comes out a day later.

I’m picking up Fuga, but I still haven’t played the first one lol
 
Can't believe it's May and that Nintendo are actually going to release a new Zelda game. Madness.
