Posted January 17, 2017 Also, is this the book you're referring to? That's the one! There's a thread with a few more bits and vids in it over in General Gaming - hadn't realised it was active just today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 17, 2017 Nintendo have stated the differences between WiiU and Switch version: Both launch on the same day, March 3.Both have a frame rate of 30fps. Both versions of the game offer the same content. On a TV, the Nintendo Switch version of the game renders in 900p while the Wii U version renders in 720p. The Nintendo Switch version has higher-quality environmental sounds. As a result, the sound of steps, water, grass, etc. are more realistic and enhance the game’s Open-Air feel. The physical copy of the Wii U version will require 3GB of available memory on the Wii U system or an external drive. Some icons, such as onscreen buttons, differ between the two versions. A Special Edition and Master Edition of the Wii U version are not available. http://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2017/01/17/nintendo-explains-differences-between-switch-wii-u-versions-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 18, 2017 The game really does look stunning at times, although overall it can't quite match the quality of those first shots that we saw (which is understandable given the hardware it was initially developed on). I'm excited to see what they can do with this engine. Hopefully they'll be able to get another Zelda, built ground up for the Switch to take advantage of its power, on the system within 2-3 years, much like they did with Majora's Mask following Ocarina of Time.

Posted January 18, 2017 (which is understandable given the hardware it was initially developed on).So frustrating this keeps happening with Zelda It then seems to lead to a completely new engine and graphical style being developed for the next Zelda.

Posted January 18, 2017 Yup. Good to see the prices starting to fall to something more reasonable. Yep it's just a repeat of what we saw with xb1/ps4 games. The rrp will drop by launch date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 18, 2017 My god. What would this game have been in 2015?... it boggles the mind what the original plan for the game was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 18, 2017 Always reminds me of N64 magazines feature of the most pointless jobs in gaming and they had a screen shot from Ocarina of Time's credits and it had "time management director" or something like that; the game was delayed by 2 years! Sack that employee!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 18, 2017 It was delayed one year and then a few months to coincide with Switch's launch. Pretty much every big game is delayed these days. Happens everywhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 18, 2017 I kinda preordered the LE assuming it would be good, only just looked at what's in it, what a load of crap :p cancelled and pre-ordered the regular edition at that Prime price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 18, 2017 The map and coin that the US get are much better items than the statue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) The map and coin that the US get are much better items than the statue. The fact that we aren't getting the case, map or coin is exactly why I cancelled my Limited Edition pre-order. I'm sure the soundtrack will probably be releasing separately, and the statue? Meh.

Posted January 19, 2017 HD rumble apparently used in Zelda, both on the joycons and the Pro controller. Not confirmed by Nintendo but common sense and a couple of reports from those at the European events... http://wccftech.com/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-hd-rumble/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Now confirmed that this will be the final Wii U game. Not even four-and-a-half years after launch, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be the final first-party title to come to the system. This was confirmed by Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime, who spoke to Polygon following the Switch launch event in New York City Friday. “From a first-party standpoint, there's no new development coming after the launch of the legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” he said. “We really are at the end of life for Wii U.” Edited January 19, 2017 by Julius Caesar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
