This is a result of people data-mining the game, right? So its possible its all DLC/special unlocks that Nintendo is going to role out as DLC packs?

Yes it's data mining. I suppose someone could imply a certain timeline position based on the items but there hasn't been anything story related revealed. It's only one person right now and they haven't shared story, just costumes.

Anyone seen any new screenshots or video in the last couple weeks from the Wii U version? Looked around Youtube and Im still only seeing E3 stuff. Interested to see how much theyve brought it up to look like Switch (color pallets, brightness, distancing, stuff like that)

These leaks have been pretty much all the same, which is interesting. You'd expect more things to come out and do so relatively quickly.

Eiji Aonuma unboxing the European Breath of the Wild: Special Edition is hilarious. He does the Zelda sound effects when he actually opens the box:

The second the wiiu version leaks forget about it
The only reason it hasn't leaked is because I think they're not actually sending reviewer copies and I don't think you're able to preload it just yey

It's really just one person with the game. The rest of the people claiming to have leaks are reposting their stuff. By the weekend someone else will get a leaked copy and the floodgates will open.

But the Wii U version did leak? I thought that was the version of the game people downloaded and started to data mine.

Apparently the EUR version is on Nintendo's CDN, but encrypted. The leaks are coming from a dude who got an early physical copy, but apparently is too lazy to rip and upload, and won't spoil story details, last I heard.

Posting some late-game equipment seems a far cry from putting an ISO on pirate bay 2 weeks early in terms of being on Nintendo's radar, I'd think.

e: I do remember someone in my dormitory having a hacked Wii 1 with Skyward Sword playable on it before the game was out in stores, maybe by a couple days or so?

Do we know if there'll be a limit to how much stuff you can carry yet? Hoping there isn't so I can have apples for days, but I feel like there would be.

I believe Skyward Sword had leaked about a week or two before release.

I'm glad I convinced myself I don't need that dumb sword when I was ordering. Sucks for the people who ordered the master edition and got cancelled since there aren't any physical zeldas left at Amazon.

The joke seems to be that a ton of these "pre-orders" were purchased on ebay and craigslist by a third party at insane mark-ups and now tons of the pre-orders no longer exist.

Are you talking about the Amazon preorders? I didn't even think about that. That's hilarious. How does eBay even handle something like that? Make the seller eat the fees?

I think you just issue a refund and take a hit in eBay fees but those aren't that big anyway so it's not much of a loss.

Technically they're not supposed to allow preorders as eBay prefers you actually physically have the item you're selling. Auctions could be killed or seller gets negative feedback if a refund is somehow not feasible and eat fees.

Holy poo poo. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the cancellation tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the loving gently caress did it get cancelled? This can't be happening. I'm having a loving breakdown. I don't want to believe Nintendo is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Nintendo to be the console leader and fix this cancelled preorder. I cannot loving deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought they were selling well in New York???? This is so hosed.
