Really curious about how exactly that tested things. Also they need to release it.

I think it tested the feel of the game they wanted to go for more than physics or anything along those lines.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
I don't get why they would put so much effort into making the art in the 2D thing look nice if they were never going to use it for anything besides prototyping.

i mean they're just concept sketches from the part of development where people throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. it's pretty common for those to be really out there.

You gotta be able to do sick-rear end demos for internal meetings and stuff, basically. Plus, you never know what's gonna get mined for promotional material.

They could have easily done like a "Zelda through the ages" type of trailer and incorporated that, for example.

I'd laugh if that 2D prototype was in anyway connected to the "additional map feature" of the first half of the season pass.

After taking fan responses into consideration concerning the season pass incentives, we will henceforth be removing the Switch t-shirt from the package and replacing it with Ganondorf's bootleg Metallica t-shirt instead.

It's not a full remap but you can switch the jump and run buttons around, at least you can for the Wii U version. It actually has a surprising amount of options including a pro hud. Amiibo also have to be enabled in options before you can use them.

It will turn out that one of the younger developers who owned a PS3 back in the day and liked heavy metal music was super upset that Brutal Legend turned into a third-person RTS game after the first hour and a half or so.

Just got a haircut, been to the gym 3 times this week, taking off work early on Thursday so I can clean my house and do all my laundry, have all of my assignments for the last semester of my Master's up to date, just got a full tank of gas, have Friday off work, gonna pick up any groceries we need at the Publix next door to the Game Stop, buy my wife some flowers on the way to Game Stop...

But once that game and system are in my hands, I will be dead to the world for the foreseeable future. Friday can't get here fast enough.

My Amazon order for Wii U finally updated from 'possibly never' to 'Expected to Ship March 3rd, Arriving Tuesday'. I guess it's better than nothing, but what the gently caress Amazon. That's not release date delivery.

At this point I'm certain Amazon and the Nintendo store are shipping all their Switches tomorrow for next-day delivery. Haven't found anyone who ordered from either who's had theirs shipped, but Nintendo told me it's still set for Friday.
