Well this leaves 2022 looking spectacularly bare, after 2021 already had nothing really going for it in the last half. That's not good for any console, especially a Nintendo one that has to sell itself on its exclusives. Though one has to wonder why they are pushing back the date so late in development? It was coming out this year, so it has to be near the end of production. Maybe Elden Ring convinced them that they needed to do more with this game, instead of just making it "BOTW, but in the sky now" in order to get people's attention?
 
Going by recent trends, this delay will probably add up to nothing and the product won't represent a prolonged development.

That's what I'm thinking.

I kind of think they are realizing they spent 5 years making what amounts to a sky shrine expansion and realized people wanted more of a Zelda experience than another BOTW experience. You think 6 months would be enough to make a few actual dungeons?

We still don't even have the actual fucking title FFS.

Or maybe @Marissa Moira is finally right and we're getting the Switch 2, and they don't have shit to launch with it. (again)

It's so it can be a launch title for their new hardware. The Nvidia leaks already showed to have shit in production as early as last year.

That's one interpretation of available information, and not even one I particularly oppose, but until there's an official statement from Nintendo that new hardware is coming, in whatever form it takes, whether that be a Switch Pro/Home or a successor system, its just speculation at this point. One things for sure, I doubt a new console coming is the reason for this. Nintendo would have known when that console was launching for years at this point. If they wanted to time the game's release with a new console launch, they would have done that from the start, not delayed the release so close to the end of development for both the game and the console.

I mean, you'd think that but they've done it two times before.

A Zelda game being delayed in this manner is probably the most actual evidence of the next Nintendo console Moira has ever had.

It'll be easier to mock off (again) Marissa Moira's retardation next year by linking the old posts rather than trying to debate right now with his constant delusions and larping

It's not even an exact date it's a season, they pulled this same shit with the original.

iirc the Switch was rushed to market in the Spring in order to get it out right before the end of a fiscal quarter, or something. The Wii U had been dead in the water for a long while by then. That ain't even close to the case with the current Switch, with it having just no competition in its space and absolute domination in Japan. They went from having no leverage, to all the leverage.

Here's an excerpt from one of the world's most sacred texts:

A new Nintendo console will come when investors start pulling funding. This won't be for a hot minute, because Nintendo has never had more leverage than they do now, even when the Wii was hot shit.

I'm not so sure because the investors wanted to put out new hardware for 2023 already and then you have the Nvidia stuff that's come up.

Welp there you have it, Spring 2023 is the new Switch console launch date. Mirrors the launch of the original perfectly.

You keep saying it, but you're still wrong. It's like you completely ignored Nintendo's statements from a couple months ago where they discussed changing up their traditional release paradigm. I also like how you're now hedging your bets and saying a "new Switch console" instead of a "new console". I'll see you for the next change in goal posts.

The rest of (most of) you enjoy never being satisfied. Christ you're insufferable.

They didn't change up the traditional release paradigm, this is the same shit we've been through since the gamecube.

BOTW2 will be in development for six years when it gets released in 2023. You can't tell me that it's going to be totally worthwhile when the first one was 900 korok seeds for most of it and that was with 5 whole years of development time already. An Extra year or so isn't enough time to fix shit since people are framing it as a response to elden ring.

They've been saying that the switch is in it's middle phase since the year 2020, so 2023 puts it at 6. They're not going to announce a new console until years end if Zelda is a spring release. And according to the Nvidia leaks there's been new hardware made since at least a year or so ago. So they're past any type of early stage prototyping.

You are the only person who looks at Breath of the Wild and sees it holding a gun up to your head, demanding you collect all 900 Korok sneeds. To me, it was a fun open world adventure where I picked a direction, started walking, and came across interesting stuff. I think I picked up maybe around 100 seeds overall, and that was across over a hundred hours of gameplay. I didn't see it as a collect-a-thon, I spent at least a few hours just playing around with those Octorok balloons, trying to make little airships out of pieces of wood just for the sake of it. Sometimes you could stick a bomb underneath a stone slab, lure an enemy onto it, and then launch them into the stratosphere. That's one of the reasons people liked Breath of the Wild so much. If you really just saw it as a collect-a-thon, you may as well just play clicker games manually, since you didn't enjoy anything that made Breath of the Wild so appealing to so many people.

I really can't think of it as a Sandbox game, because I've played sandbox games before where you can create automations to fuck with the physics and even then they have entire tool sets for things for you to do that while BOTW didn't. Zelda made it's name on being a Dungeon Crawler Action Adventure type game and this even extended to titles like Windwaker where even the land itself was one big dungeon style layout.

The 900 Korok seeds mostly just reeks of laziness like they couldn't think of any type of content to justify having the open world. Zelda has always been a series with a very refined sense of mechanics and how they work with the world itself. What I saw in BOTW was a ton of newbie mistakes from how the horses function to how collectables worked. Like it wasn't even growing pains, it mirrored a ton of boneheaded decisions that the Pokemon series gets away with. I mean yes it had talent behind it like Monolithsoft who clearly can do well designed open world areas and fill it with worthwhile shit to do. But BOTW plays like a baseline Ubisoft game, they didn't alter the formula enough to justify it. Like it has climbing but the areas are really not all that distinct or worthwhile to explore, even shit like Genshin Impact had better designed hubs and towns in the world itself. The game has a real sense of large in scope but lacking in variety.
 
That last Marissa Moira post reads like a schizophrenic comment, but I guess that should be another proof he hardly plays videogames after all. Only pretending he does.

Here lies Pissmaster, still waiting for the proofs

If BotW2 could at least give the possibility to repair armory equipment on the verge of breaking, that would be the biggest improvement over the original game for me
More enemy types too. I always have fond memories of the knight duels in Twilight Princess.
