Currently has a May 12 2023 release date. That's just over 4 months away. That's not so far, but there isn't that much known about it.

Here's a video that has the reveal trailer and other info that has so far been released.

https://youtu.be/30D...

Is it unusual for such an anticipated title that's only several months away to not have much known about it?

I don't usually follow games along their pre-release stages, so perhaps a lack of info is standard.

Personally, I'd rather a lack of info when it comes to games that I plan on playing. I don't care for spoilers, or to watch every trailer that comes out.

I'd have thought there'd be more out about it though. But again, I don't usually follow along with the progress of game development.

Definitely a game I'm looking forward to though.

other things:

Cooking:
-you can now carry cooking pots around with you as inventory...but they break after one use
-there is a recipe card database. cards get added when you make a dish for the first time

Building:
-apparently you can save your build designs...LOVE THAT. I think it will be fun and novel to create some cool things, but i know it will get tedious after a while
-There is an additional power (icon is three purple hands) that streamlines the ultrahand ability...but they can't talk about it yet

This does not confirm dungeons in the traditional sense. The area(s) could easily be as shallow as the divine beasts, a shrine variant, an arena battle, trial, etc.

To me it's what Nintendo wanted the Skyward Sword world to be at that time. I like the return of treasure maps, and I hope they return the traditional shovel.

Side note: Wouldn't that piss the internet off, returning digging? They also need to return fishing.

An interesting POV on TotK. Spoilers obviously.

That string of letters at the bottom of the label doesn't look standard. Maybe it's a demo cart or showcase version or something?

I'm definitely going to try to be careful about avoiding spoilers.

I guess that's just the combination of letters they chose. Threw me off though. 3DS games for example, would go something like PNR-JTE-EGAE (I made that up, but it would be similar). The quadruple letters on the Switch cart seemed unusual to me.

Maybe Nintendo was saying "this game is really good, it's above AAA" :)

Stacks of the TotK switches at retailers. I’ve seen 12 today out with the girls.

Now that I have it in my hands, it actually looks pretty nice. I don't really notice much difference with the screen, but the extra memory is nice.

I thought the new screen looked much better on certain games- monster hunter and Metroid- but almost not noticeable at times as well.

Well, I've only played Trinity Trigger on it so far. And that looks like a 3DS game. Looking forward to playing TotK on it!

Got my OLED console, from Target.

Not only did they smack a giant red sticker on it, but there's multiple holes/dings on the box. Glad these didn't sell out.

Some people are streaming the game today. Actually saw a video on YT and the guy was in the first shrine. Someone on reddit claims they have been watching someone on discord, and that the dungeons and underground areas are massive.
