Dai Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm glad it's doing so well. I can't wait to get the game myself, which, hopefully, will be tonight with the Switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, random thing I found in the Zelda discussion thread on Dragon's Den, Aonuma's favorite Zelda is apparently Phantom Hourglass. I like PH though, so I can't say I disapprove of his taste there, haha. Sorry Aonuma, I think Reggie's got better taste. :P His favorite is ALttP! While not my favorite, it's high on my list, so I can approve. Also, wow, the game is gonna be as loved as OoT was back in the day, it looks like! That's pretty incredible. OoT was practically rated the greatest game of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altean Tactician Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Looks like I may have a new favorite game if the spoiler-free reviews are anything to go by though. Too bad I will not have the Switch and Breath of The Wild until around 3 or 4 in the afternoon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way I can just get some two-day shipping and not have to bother my grandpa. I'd rather wait a day or so rather than months before the damn console is restocked. If it ever is. Fucking Nintendo. I love them, but hate them at the same time for their stupidity with supply and demand. Edited March 3, 2017 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk King Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) So I got Breath of the Wild for the WiiU in the mail today... Even though the release date is Tomorrow. LOL, thank you Best Buy. Edited March 3, 2017 by Hawk King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, everyone knows that. But no way am I settling for that inferior version. The graphics are worse and the frame rate is worse from what I've heard. Besides, I want the Switch, so I might as well get the Switch version to go with it anyway. In fact, I don't know why anyone would settle for the Wii U version except if they can't afford the Switch right now, and even then, they could wait until they do have the money. If they want the game THAT bad though... Well, can't blame them there. But otherwise, there's no reason when the Switch version is better and you'll have a new console to play a bunch of other new games on later.

Look at GameXplain's comparison video. There's a pretty clear difference. The Switch version is brighter and sharper. My eyesight isn't the best, so I would fare better with that one, even on a big TV screen. Edited March 3, 2017 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Glacies Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Well, it's about midnight where I live, so that means... Hide contents Woo! After 5 years of development, the game is basically out! The Nintendo Switch is also out tonight, and I am aware that many people are waiting in lines to get the console (and likely this game as well) right now. However, considering Nintendo's current pattern of games and stock, this means that the game and the Switch are likely only available to people who pre-ordered them. So, this means many will likely have to wait a few weeks longer to get Breath of the Wild if they are unwilling to download it on a Wii U. (That includes me, so that'll be fun avoiding gameplay and story spoilers until I get it.) So while I'm hiding from the internet until I get the game in a few weeks, this forum can still be used as, uh, I guess you can still speculate on a number of things in the game, and provide tips for finding things and surviving the supposedly brutal gameplay. Have fun saving Hyrule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the GameStops at the mall up the road from where I live will have stock. I don't think they'd be doing midnight releases, because who opens a whole mall just for two stores to do a release? Even one that's rather dead like this one... Edited March 3, 2017 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Ah, finally, the long wait is over. Now I can soon finally see who the whole Spanish dub cast is. That's actually one of the things I waited the most for, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) I can't find any stock online. And both Best Buy and GameStop have some midnight releases. I guess it's only in-store. Century III Mall, your deadness better be an advantage tomorrow (half the stores there closed down over recent years, so it's never close to being packed anymore. It's honestly sad. I loved this place as a kid. If I could, I'd honestly save it). If only I'd been able to preorder though...

Dai Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I got the Switch and Breath of the Wild. They only had eight consoles left, and I was the seventh of eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Wow, you must've been at a 24 hour place... I'm waiting to go to Target. I WAS going to go to the mall, but I when I checked Target's website, it said they'd have the BotW special edition. It's not the Master edition, but I can settle for going without the Master Sword statue. I don't know where I'd put it yet anyway. And maybe it'll come out by itself later, who knows? My grandpa agreed to take me right when they open. Hopefully I can at least get the console and a copy of the game if not the special edition. I could really use that carrying case though, because I love to travel and I'll just so happen to be doing that next Thursday. I'm going to fly to DC to see my mom. She's on a six-month thing for the Army there. Edited March 3, 2017 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The game is currently in a 3-way tie for second place on Metacritic, with OoT at number one; however, Gamerankings has Breath of the Wild at #1. So, yeah, I think I know what the game of the decade is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etrurian emperor Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Finally got my copy! I settled on the worse version though since I'm a Wii-u peasant rather than part of the Switch master race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
