    Breath of the Wild Number of dungeons speculation after latest trailer/story details.

    It doesn't just keep coming up because of the 4 mechanical giants, but because basically every part of the rumor those 4 dungeon idea originated from has come true. It is like, the very last part of the rumor that hasn't been confirmed. So we'll see.

    Breath of the Wild One thing I'm concerned about.

    The physics engine excuse was basically retconned when Eiji Aonuma admitted to not communicating properly. That being said, it does take an enormous effort, but they have had Monolith Soft helping for at least a year, so I am sure debugging started awhile ago.

    Breath of the Wild Australian Advertismements Confirms(?) March 2017 Launch Date

    What I am saying is, the advertising in the stores came from Nintendo. It says march. Now, does that mean that's final? Hardly. It could have been printed before they decided to push it back. Beats me. Everything about the release date is a rumor save "2017". That being said, advertising from...

    Breath of the Wild One thing I'm concerned about.

    Nintendo as a first party company hasn't made an open world game since the 80's. Their 2nd party teams have. That being said, what I said isn't a lack of faith, it's a deep understanding of Nintendo's development cycle thanks to the iwata asks series. They spend close to 6 months polishing every...

    Breath of the Wild Australian Advertismements Confirms(?) March 2017 Launch Date

    myself and others have been able to confirm with their local game crews that this stuff is from Nintendo and came with an email detailing stuff. That's about all I can say.

    Breath of the Wild Breath of the Wild: Pics Until Release Thread

    I like that guardians are kind of like their own "race". It's really interesting.

    Breath of the Wild Australian Advertismements Confirms(?) March 2017 Launch Date

    These advertisements are up in Australia, also in GAME UK, and now in some GameStops (United States). These ads have been confirmed to be sent by Nintendo and are not custom prints by the stores. This is the FIRST "confirmation" of March we have had. The reason we know now is that the stores...

    Breath of the Wild The impact BOTW has on you playing previous Zelda games

    So I actually played Breath of the Wild at E3. Spent a good 3 hours with it (Wii U version). I uh... hmm. It's hard to say but the story implications aren't what get me comparing to older games. Seeing ruins, etc. Like obviously there is a pretty big event that happened we will be learning...

    Breath of the Wild How would you like Nintendo to tease the game from now on?

    History says otherwise. The closer you get to launch, the more stuff they release to continue building hype. The nice thing is, this game is so big they could show us 50% of it before launch and we'd still be completely taken aback by all the things we don't know. Yay open world games!

    Breath of the Wild One thing I'm concerned about.

    In trying to understand what you're saying here, it's that the game is still being heavily worked on by Nintendo EAD Group 2 (Eiji Aonuma's Group) and that it likely won't make a march 2017 release date. There are rumors that of course back you up, and the continual 2017 dates with no release...

    Breath of the Wild One thing I'm concerned about.

    According to Nintendo (last official word), they are releasing simultaneously. That means same day for both systems. This may change, one rumor at the Wii U version releasing a week later (naturally, on purpose, not due to dev issues). I understand your sentiment, but the Wii U version doesn't...

    Breath of the Wild One thing I'm concerned about.

    Is it just me or are quotes a bit broken right now? The weather effects were not included because of frame rate issues. Bill Trinen stated this back during e3. Well he didn't say FPS specifically, just "performance issues". Does that mean that at that time the issues still existed? Well, no...

    Breath of the Wild One thing I'm concerned about.

    Eh, I'm a pretty innocent bystander who admittedly only came upon this thread because of the staff room on discord, and having literally reviewed every single post in this thread, the most combative and unwillingness to accept others thoughts and opinions seems to be coming from you. And I don't...

    Breath of the Wild What would you do if this game came out and it completely SUCKED?

    As long as the demo wasn't a lie - the rest of hte game could be terrible and I still can't feel the game "sucks". But assuming it does, I don't think I'd renounce Nintendo. Not just because of what I do for a living, but because I also disagree that Nintendo has been nothing but a...

    Official Suggestions Thread

    Sort of an in the background kind of lurker. I WANT to be more heavily involved, really get to know the community and help influence change, and I do/can get a say on pretty much any matter if I care to weigh in. I have access to all backend staff channels and all backend staff boards here with...
