Someone’s sad they don’t have BoTW.

You really blaming Kotaku for the baseball organist playing the 30-year-old Zelda theme? This is a thing that actually happened and so they’re talking about it, you can’t really group this in with the recent Breath of the Wild coverage.

No that’s Link

Baseball and Zelda have gone together for the last 20 years. Remember in Ocarina of Time when Link went over to Ganondorf’s place to play catch?

Fair enough, but regardless of anyone’s opinion of Nintendo, they are still, to this day, a massively powerful force in the video game industry, insomuch as everyone else in the games industry is either actively following Nintendo’s example, or actively avoiding following Nintendo’s example.

As an aspiring game designer, I suggest you quickly familiarize yourself with the state of the Nintendo garden.

What about when you under 5, like the article is talking about?

If you did it? Unless you’re a gajillionaire all the bits you break trying to do it will fuck it up.

Off the top of my head, some Pokemon games, at least a couple Assassin’s Creed games, Rayman, a Far Cry game or two probably. Lots of Ubisoft games are coming to mind. Ummm, Need For Speed sometimes, I’m pretty sure. Arkham games? Maybe? I feel like it’s kind of common in open-world games, but I could be wrong on some…

Good news about the game being friendly to newcomers. (I want to get the game, and it’ll be an easier budget pitch if I can get my wife into it as well.)

Well, given that Game Freak isn’t solely owned by Nintendo, it could be literally anything for any system. (Tembo came out on XB1 and PS4 after all)

That said, chances are pretty high it’s going to be Pokemon. Ending May 2018 would line up fairly well to an October / November 2018 release date, which would be 2 years…

Lol would be funny if the Switch have a portable side just because Monster Hunter Fire Emblem and Pokemon devs have a portable fetish and refused to make games for a console.

Full circle

Shield surfing: A Zelda tradition since 1989.

Carriers don’t fire weapons at ships, their airplanes do. And they have.

On the placard for this:

If you can weld Ship Steel, you can weld a goddamned bridge support.

The last time an aircraft carrier has been used in battle was in World War II.

I’d rather have better roads, bridges that won’t fall down any time soon, rail systems that work and educational funding in place to get us all educated so we can keep up with the rest of the world.
