They should just do a Majora's Mask style spinoff that uses the same engine and put it out in a couple years.

Yes because I'm having company over for a launch party
I can't believe myself how much time I'm putting in that thread haha. Just wanted to create something better than this thread. But the OT will top all of these threads I hope. (Ubermatik is creating it)

is... this an actual screenshot? My god.
Probably wishes he could add it to his book lol
There will probably be a new ittertion of the switch before the next Zelda after BotW releases. Increasing the CPU power to blend in more systems would probably still continue to wow people
"Frame rate drops are not frequent enough to make a huge difference"
Cool.
Ultimately BotW was developed with the Wii U in mind, a Zelda game that takes full advantage of what the Switch actually has to offer would still be able to do that. I'm hoping for an MM like sequel, but from what I've read, this game is already very similar to MM in some regards, so I have no idea what I want now...
We Legolas now.

I would hope all developers feel this way about their franchises. Another Zelda game will be made, you have to aim high if you want to hit the target.

Out of the 22 Critic reviews, 4 of them are sub-100.
We Legolas now.
More lifelike too!
I'm moving to a new house on the 11th, so I'm gonna scramble to get all the packing I can get done by the 2nd.
this is just intentional torture now
Goddamnit.
This is my dream game. Visuals like Ghibli, a story akin to The Last Airbender (based off what I've read from the EDGE review), mature gameplay mechanics, so on and so forth... fuck.

There's a sidequest spoiler in the spoiler thread, but holy shit, Sidequests are likely going to be amazing. The NPCs are so full of personality that it makes most games in the genre laughable. Maybe only Witcher 3 compares.
This is exactly why numeric scoring systems for games comes off as arbitrary most of the time.
There was a time a 8/10 was EXTREMELY good (before internet arm chair critic age)
Now to some enthusiast, 8/10 means "not a GOTY candidate." A game gets a high rating, then a few months later come the threads that question if the game is really "that good." Happens like every time.
I think the gaming press should really search deep amongst themselves to find what being critical of something really means. Not to harp on them, but if they are going to use number ratings it needs to be done.

Simply gorgeous.
I can't wait for your thread!
What is the context of him referring to the specific time frame of 2 years?
Dat hype though.

You forgot having to realistically catch your Boomerang after it is thrown
lol yeah, the fact that they revealed the Boomerang and its mechanics literally yesterday just shows how much of the game they're deliberately not showing. A lot different from Skyward Sword's pre-release coverage.

Beautiful. I can't wait for the thread.
Someone please confirm whether this heavenly music is from BoTW or somewhere else. From what I heard this might top SS for best soundtrack, and SS has a REALLY good OST.

I'm just so happy that zelda feels like an event not just because of a new release, but the sheer excitement of everyone playing it. Knowing that we have a new zelda and mario that looks just like what everyone dreamt of these series.

I'm certain it is, it could be a village theme. The music in this Gamespot video is also awesome.
I'm so happy that this is the composer for Spirit Tracks (supposedly), that game has an amazing OST.
I'd wager that there is a metric ton of content that we don't know about yet
Knowing now that the leaked assets are definitely true... people's minds are going to explode when they play this. I fear for people's health, especially Zelda fans.

They do this on purpose, right?
What in the world is this game...
New OOT moment?

It's beautiful, yeah. Mario Odyssey is the most I've been excited for a new Mario game in a long time.
I just wish Nintendo kinda did similar things with franchises like Metroid, Paper Mario, and such. Go back and make the games people want.

Man, it's been a rough couple of years personally for me in relation to Nintendo games, but they are proving why they are still one of if not the greatest game developer on the planet. If Odyssey lives up to its potential this could be one of the greatest years ever in gaming.(Ni Oh, Horizon, RE7, Persona, Zelda, Mario, Red Dead just to name a few)
I just finished replaying Skyward Sword last night, not sure what to do now. Was planning to pace myself to make it last until the 3rd, but that didn't work out.

What exactly are mature gameplay mechanics?

Fujibayashi in the Edge interview telling how he took some inspiration from Terraria and Minecraft in terms exploration and sense of adventure and how that inspires curiosity in the player.

I really hope that these two games pay off so much that nintendo does a hard look at some of the franchises that people are unhappy with, maybe they are even already doing that if miyamoto's comment in the Q&A of the investor meeting about this game emboldening the other teams to create more unique games.
