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.

I was going to offer mine if you didn't get one. So now I have both a standard and CE preordered, which I never do. But I like that scroll, so I'll just sell the game later.

Showing out of stock... it actually looks better than the gold limited imo.

Really miss the days when there was 1 preorder and it wasn't exclusive to stores. With CE's, store exclusives, and foreign exclusives, TotK is going to have 10+ exclusive bundles if not way more.

It says "Coming soon" - so hasn't sold out.

If you people keep buying useless pre-orders, it will give Nintendo no incentive to make the Switch 2 with a 10% better performance.

Honestly I feel that's generous with modern consoles... there hasn't been a significant leap since what, PS2 to 3? Switch is a handheld competing amongst consoles. They only need to be at the entry level of "modern" consoles to compete (and win).

Yes, it also says coming soon. Meaning that it hasn't actually been available for purchase yet.

It's slow loading for me. Not seeing that.

Haha, no. They're $80 post tax, figure $7-$10 for shipping, $5 for my time and savings.

Bought one for my sister, one for my brother, one to collect, one to play upstairs, one for downstairs... And realized no, that's dumb, gonna keep just one and throw it on a shelf to collect dust. Gotta stop being insane with the spending.

Earlier post in this thread, you'll see BotW was/is a big deal for my family, so I kinda went overboard.

To be fair, after msrp cost + tx + shipping, 95 is really not that much more than it would be. A couple dollars, which I'd view as a tip for someone, not to mention an item that's sold out.

Did you see my follow up? Is asking $5 for my time to repackage, drive to ups, ship, and save you ebay scalper prices... Wrong? If so, I'll gladly cancel the orders.

$5 felt pretty fair imo, but if I'm the dick, let me know.

Thank you. I've massively over tipped, and over paid, here (multiple times) when people snag me sold out items. I didn't think $5 was asking much when I've many times just asked for exact cost.

When you say "a game like that," what do you mean? I actually haven't played any in the series. Is it that it's fast paced and you just don't want to put it down?
I just mean a game that interests me big time. Fallen Order was addictive as hell while I was playing through the story, so I just plowed through it. Similar recent experiences for games like Spider-man PS4/Miles Morales, Red Dead Redemption II & Ghost of Tsushima. Heck, same deal as BOTW. I ended up putting a LOT of hours into BOTW but I plowed through the story portion fairly quickly.

I saw it's 3 minutes, glad they aren't giving too much away.

What time? NintendoLife's stupid cookies thing pops up before I can see, and fudge their cookies.

That was great. Reminds me of the last BotW trailer. Nintendo knows how to get me hyped!

Now that there's some actual game-related stuff to discuss, maybe @bill can stop ignoring the thread, lol.
