I'll be surprised if I can even get through the whole thing by the time Breath of the Wild is out, there's going to be a lot to look at.

And I don't reads goods.

What does Art & Artifacts have that Hyrule Historia doesn't? I have a B&N gift card and might pick it up, but if it's barely any different than HH, I'll leave it.

Hyrule Historia seems to just be Skyward Sword concept art plus some info about old games. Art and Artifacts seems to be all kinds of cool art about everything. I don't have my Art and Artifacts yet.

Art and Artifacts, I think, is supposed to be every piece of art from all of the games sans Breath of the Wild and from what I'm seeing so far that's about right.

I've just started looking through it and in the LTTP section they have the original art and the redone art for the GBA+Four Sword release (which I didn't even know had it's own art), so that's really cool.

edit: They even have pencil sketches of concept art which is pretty different from what the art ended up being and I've never seen any of this stuff anywhere.

Continuing the derail (sorry), but while NSMB Wii was as "blah" as a Mario game can be, the fan-made project Newer Super Mario is really impressive. Probably the biggest 2d mario game ever with very good level design, both within the levels and in the overworld, with lots of variety and secrets to find. Also, they brought back the Hammer Brothers power up, and if that doesn't sell it, then you may already be dead.

I'm guessing they made all these amiibo before they decided to port the game to the Switch.

No, the Switch will support amiibo use. That add on feature must be an insane cash cow for Nintendo, there's no way in hell they'd ever that it vanish.

I'm talking about the fact that it doesn't mention the Switch anywhere on the package. Once the designs for characters were finalized, they probably had all the amiibos made up, which was before they decided to push the game back to release on the Switch.

Amazon, but I don't have that fancy Prime thing and I chose the cheapest shipping option. Wasn't expecting to get it on release day but I was hoping it would ship.

Why people want more junk to clutter their life up is beyond me. Best thing I ever did was get rid of my drat near 200 physical games. It was a giant eyesore in my house.

Edit: I assume the majority of the people that like this are 22-26 years old. I was there at one point, then I grew out of it.

The only Zelda amiibo that looks even mildly interesting to me enough that I'd consider buying it depending on the price is that 8-bit Link. But I'd also be buying it to just set it up on a shelf or something and I'd never touch my Switch with it.

Is it weird that just looking at this screenshot gives me goosebumps?

Is it also weird that the first thing I wanna do in this new game is find a windmill and chill with what had better be the windmill guy playing the song of storms out of a very oddly worn instrument?

Not weird, right?

A toy is cool. A toy that is both a toy and DLC is better, since it's still a toy whenever you want, but you get an extra benefit as well. Nintendo hit gold with ambiios really. They're not toys, but they do make nice little shelf or desk ornaments, and many adults want that more than toys really.

The only amiibo I'll ever own is yarn yoshi since it's not a boring plastic model and I found it on clearance.

Shiiit someone is datamining the game now, and UI icons for late-game costumes and equipment are the first things hitting the web. Heads down now to avoid spoilers.

Maybe they have a Wii u copy. I dunno. I've seen the leaked icons and they look super plausible. And they're pretty big spoilers if true (as much as equipment reveals can be)

For the morbidly curious: http://buttz click at own risk etc

Content wise it's a number of swords, shields, costumes and horse gear. I'd say pretty late game for some stuff but I couldn't say for sure.

And THOSE costumes are more likely unlockable Easter eggs than anything else

:siren:
E: removed link because Imgur albums can be updated with more images and who knows what could be added next that's way more spoilery and I don't want to be the douche who told everyone the link was just costume/item stuff only to be wrong
