Which is your favorite Preorder Bonus for Zelda? I saw a spoon and fork set seem actually pretty slick being so different.I like the spoon and fork. I think I would have actually pre-ordered it for those if it would have been with the US release of the game. And then I would have actually used the cutlery for food :D

I sincerely never care about bonuses haha. Right now, I just hope Gamestop doesn’t eff me over by canceling my preorder because I ordered it for the original $60 price the day they raised it to $70.

Try snagging a couple of used Last of Us Remastered for like $10 a piece on Offer Up or FB Marketplace. That's probably the cheapest way to go unless you have games you're already looking to unload.

Man, Flicky is a great game. I remember playing it a bit as a kid but now that it's on NSO via Genesis, I can't put it down. Save states between stages are necessary for me, but it can still get pretty challenging. Super fun. I'd love more games like this.

So, F these damn hackers/leaders. First of all, it's annoying as hell that every major Nintendo release is leaked early. There are videos of TotK everywhere spoiling the entire game (some losers have already finished it). What's worse is that Nintendo has had to spend money and resources trying to take this stuff down as much as possible.
I don't pretend to know how this stuff works, but Nintendo is now going after the key code that is used for dumping roms onto the internet (I'm sure I am misleading that statement). The problem seems to be physical cartridges are easy to hack. And Nintendo is trying to stop this from happening in the future.
Anyway, I see one of two possible scenarios moving forward:
1- Nintendo starts releasing digital versions a few weeks before physical copies, so once the physical copies get to retailers the digital version is already available.
Or even worse...
2 - Nintendo completely abandons physical media
What pisses me off is that more than 99% of the people do this the right way. These selfish, entitled brats are running everything for everybody else. Hackers ruining almost every online game that was ever worth playing, and now they're ruining every damn game out there.

I've literally seen no spoilers for it. You must be going out of your way to ruin it for yourself or something

The spoilers are definitely concerning, but they can be ignored at the expense of avoiding certain sites for a couple of weeks. Honestly my opinion is they should just let it go. My guess is most people hacking it are those who either are going to buy it anyways or those who wouldn't buy it anyways. I understand the business thought behind it, but the majority of what N releases is solid and the general population will buy a good product. The number of sales lost to those pirating that would've otherwise bought it is small imo. Must be extremely infuriating (disappointing in Japanese culture) though to have something you work on for 6-7 years get out there for free 2 weeks before launch.

@bonham2 I hear you. It's often a tiny percentage that ruins things for everyone else.

I haven't seen any spoiler either tbh, but I don't take part in a ton of gaming discourse on the internet.

Let’s be real here, with the convoluted Zelda storyline(s) are they really spoiling much outside of gameplay mechanics and ppl who show up? I mean it’s not like the mainstream Zelda characters aren’t gonna show up at some point in a Zelda game. I think ppl just need to stop being so butt hurt and idk, stop reading social media until they play the game themselves for once? 🤷♂️ Crazed idea I know.

For the record, I don't really care about spoilers or other people "leaking" information. I just ignore those videos. My bigger concern is how these people are pissing off Nintendo, and how that will unfortunately hurt the general gaming public in the long run. I have no doubt that these leaks and hacks will not affect sales at all. They are still going to sell millions of copies...probably 10s of millions. But...
Nintendo has already gone after and shut down THOUSANDS of live game streams on Twitch, Twitter, and even Tik Tok. They are pissed, and like I said, they are taking steps to ensure this does not happen again the future. I can very easily see them doing one of the two things I mentioned before to avoid this hacking BS.

Anyone streaming it/uploading videos is a complete moron. Exactly why would you think that's a good idea?

Now that TOTK is out, any other major releases with known release dates?
Would seem like maybe a direct will be coming I'm the next 30 days or so to go over the 2nd half of the years releases

I guess they don’t plan to do a June Direct this year. There’s really not a ton on the docket.
Pikmin 4 is the next big one I think, July 31.

Wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if this becomes a launch title for whatever the next Nintendo console is, or even later than that.

Pikmin 4 in July is confirmed. Wouldn't be shocked for Mario Baseball in June, but it's only rumors at this point.

At this rate, you’re probably right. I’d happily accept MP4 as a launch title for a Switch 2 though. Especially if they can make it run at a smooth 60fps.
