Ema Skye Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Splatoon and Mario on launch makes me so happy and makes the console a Day 1 purchase. Breath of the Wild legitimately disappoints me so I don't care if it's delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Oh come oooooon, don't delay Zelda AGAIN...Think about it this way, the longer they take, the more time they have to polish the game and its localization :D. I'd rather play a finished product later than an unfinished one earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Alternatively, delaying the Switch BotW may be a move to get people to buy the Wii U BotW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather play a finished product later than an unfinished one earlier. Yeah, but this would be like the third or fourth delay. That's ridiculous. I don't care about Splatoon at all and I know nothing about Skyrim. It looks like the 3D Mario may be the only thing I get at launch if Zelda is fucking delayed again.

Magical Glace Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Alternatively, delaying the Switch BotW may be a move to get people to buy the Wii U BotW.Wouldn't they want a simultaneous launch? The Wii U is dead, they want this console to sell and they're pulling a TP to help that. Trying to push the Wii U version just seems silly when the point of dual release is to push the Switch. Yeah, but this would be like the third or fourth delay. That's ridiculous. I don't care about Splatoon at all and I know nothing about Skyrim. It looks like the 3D Mario may be the only thing I get at launch if Zelda is fucking delayed again. Maybe I'm just weird then. But I'm sure we can all agree we don't want something like what happened to TWW again. The poor game had two whole dungeons cut trying to get a release at a specific point. I love The Wind Waker but I'd appreciate that not happening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blah the Prussian Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Look, this is Nintendo. If they're delaying it its to make it a better game. Be patient and trust that they aren't delaying it out of a malicious desire to see us suffer, but rather to make it the best it can be.

Anacybele Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Yeah, I can agree with that, but like I said, when it gets to be several delays, then it starts to feel like the developer is trolling, even if they're really not. They keep giving us a date to look forward to, and then NOPE, delayed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zera Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 So, how many individual times has BotW been delayed now? It's starting to remind me of Kingdom Hearts 3, in a bad way. It's not as bad as AAA companies sticking to deadlines so hard that they release unfinished games, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jave Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 So, how many individual times has BotW been delayed now? It's starting to remind me of Kingdom Hearts 3, in a bad way. It's not as bad as AAA companies sticking to deadlines so hard that they release unfinished games, but still. Officially, twice. First time we got a date it was "2015", then it was delayed to "2016", and then to "2017". Technically they never said it was going to be at Switch launch, and the last release date has always been 2017, with no month attached. We can assume the game has been delayed internally several times, but as far as we know, there have been only two official delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Actually, I'm pretty sure the most recent release date we were given for BotW, Jave, was March 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxSpes Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Actually, I'm pretty sure the most recent release date we were given for BotW, Jave, was March 2017. Actually, we never got a release date more precise than 2017. People just assumed it would release as a launch title for the Switch when it comes out in March.

Anacybele Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I distinctly remember confirmation that BotW would be releasing alongside the Switch in March, though. But it could've just been a rumor I saw, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 The BotW amiibo are coming out in March so people just assumed a March release date for BotW. Which probably means the amiibo will be delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the thought of it being delayed AGAIN is annoying, but...if it means it's gonna be even better, well *shrugs* I guess I can wait a bit longer.

henrymidfields Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Well, that means, I am not going to be getting the Switch anytime soon. At least not until a Pokémon game (probably Stadium, but maybe main series?), FE, and Zelda (BotW, preferably with another epic title) game comes out. Unless if the same Galaxy crew decide to give the middle finger to Mr Miyamoto and pull off a story as excellent, no, BAFTA-winning as Galaxy 1, I'm not even going to touch that Mario game, let alone rescue that imbecile bitch for the umpteenth time.

Magical Glace Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 My main hope is DQXI doesn't take too long to get overseas. With it coming so soon in Japan, I'm just so excited. If the Switch is region free like the rumors say I might wind up importing it and figuring things out via trial and error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 To those of you complaining about the delay of Botw...you do realize that the game is the biggest Zelda game ever right? Not to mention that the amount of physics its dealing with. In fact the reason why it got delayed was that I think that the NX wasn't able to handle its physics in the first place. Well, that means, I am not going to be getting the Switch anytime soon. At least not until a Pokémon game (probably Stadium, but maybe main series?), FE, and Zelda (BotW, preferably with another epic title) game comes out.

Hence its the only ever Mario game whose story is only intriguing during the Roselia sections. Other than that, its a typical Mario objective that you always WILL end up with which is to beat Bowser. It also doesn't help that the same approach is taken for Pokemon as well no matter how different the settings are. Maybe Sun/Moon will change that but who knows?

Radiant head Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 lol i'm usually the first to call out gamer entitlement, but i think this is the closest i've come to it with botw. but yeah i can't complain if the end product is worth it. mario 3d sounds great, though i probably need more to buy the console. i hated skyrim, so curious what other third party support we'll get.

At least with the Pokémon games, they don't use the same characters/settings over and over, and there isn't the repeated story of the same princess being kidnapped over and over - especially when it turns out she can defend herself just fine in Smash. Or even worse, have one of the two dago plumbers acting like a sissy coward in recent years, to the point of even being kidnapped by enemies he actually has fought before in one of the main games.

Literally all the Pokemon games except for this newest one have the same protagonist who goes through the same path to get to the same goal. Some boring kid gets a Pokemon and he/she has to grind through all 8 gyms to win the game. Pokemon is not an example of good, varying storytelling.

Particularly since Smash plays loose with canon in many cases (Link is a fusion of many of the individuals referred to as Link, Peach, Captain Falcon and Mario get drastic personality changes, the Pokémon content heavily draws from the anime instead of the games, Bowser and the Kongs can't talk, Olimar was justifiably scaled up, etc.) Edit: GameXplain cracked under the comment pressure of the "What's the crazy rumor you heard" comments on yesterday's rumor discussion My main reaction to this was "Yeah that is pretty out there" Edited November 18, 2016 by Glaceon Mage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jave Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Guys, guys, can you please drop the silly Mario/Peach bashing and start talking of Mainline Pokemon coming to Switch? 3rd game in the 7th Gen called Pokemon Stars. No 3DS version for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Stop the Luigi bashing too. He's actually one of the few Mario characters with a real personality, depth, and even some development (his fear of ghosts lessened some after awhile in Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon). And...yeah, that crossover idea is kind of out there. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
