No, but it's at Nintendo's discretion how much they offer per vulnerability.

I don't think many people will jump at the chance at revealing potentially homebrew enabling exploits for a paltry $100 reward.
If they upped the bounty it might be more appealing to cash in.

Yes I'm sure Nintendo offers the bare minimum reward for major exploits.

I might buy this. Every time you use it, it lights up a korok on your map.

Edit: DLC new map feature? Scanning for koroks I betcha

But it makes you smell weird and everyone comments on it. Note: This is different from your real life smell, that's on you.

Sorry, guy.
I just got a patch download notification (2 of them). One was for Zelda... because it asked to install because I had the game running. Is there a way or place to see what the other one was?

Peeps in the Zelda thread think it's for removing the ability to farm infinite arrows from mounted archers.

I also got an update for Turf Masters.

Isn't this only for plain arrows? Granted I always run out of arrows and it's annoying as hell, but collecting arrows from mounted archers by dodging their shots sounds tedious as hell.

Kinda. The shrine music also reminds me of some of the dungeon music from LTTP and LA.

When you're early on getting them to take a few pot shots to grab some extras helps but yeah doing it for more than a minute vs buying out beddles stock is nuts

I finally downloaded Snake Pass, and I really love it.
It's very unique to play what would otherwise be a collectathon 3D platformer as a slithering snake that can't jump.
My only gripe is that the camera is pretty bad, you move it very slowly and sometimes you'll be fighting against the way it's automatically moving, especially under water

It didn't take long for me to click with the controls and now I find it immensely satisfying to wrap around bamboo poles grabbing hard to reach orbs and coins

Sort of a known issue. Power off your Switch completely (not sleep) and turn it back on.

Tried that multiple times. Even stood right next to the router with the switch in hand and it couldn't find the son of a bitch. Finally tried changing the security type on the wifi and now it seems to find it. Geez.

WiFi in general is... Touchy at times but Nintendo WiFi has always been a poo poo show from all the bitching everyone does.

It mostly feels Zelda-y to me, but some of the music from the January trailer is EXTREMELY Shadow of the Colossus.

Huh? That's not the impression i get from review footage

i mean, it could be due to me having never played BK as a kid (I had a playstation) and thus not having that nostalgia loving with me (It's not exactly Banjo Kazooie 4!!), but it seems like a fun, if frustrating at times throwback game

It seems just okay. I'll pick it if the Switch version is decent but we all know Mario Odyssey will be the real good 3D collectathon.

Yeah Yooka-Laylee isn't a *bad* game by any stretch of the imagination. It nails it's design goals on basically every level. The problem is those design goals are straight out of 1999, and your tolerance for that kind of gameplay style will determine how much you get out of it.

I'm at the part of Breath of the Wild where you have to follow the Korok without being noticed, which dipshit rear end in a top hat thought putting such a terrible trope into an otherwise great game would be a good idea?

It's a shrine quest, so not mandatory, still, it's one of the easiest stealth missions I've ever played in a game.

Replace "easiest" with "most tedious", because there's at least 5 minutes of crouched walking per attempt before one of those typical stealth mission "gotcha" events occurs and you instafail

I only have 2 stamina rings so far and that is not even close to enough stamina to glide the max distance off of a lot of towers and mountains in BotW. If you had the stamina (via elixir chugging) I wonder how many KM you can cover by gliding off of Death Mountain's peak.

I somehow tripped over a tree root like an rear end in a top hat, which makes you stop crouching apparently.

I was hoping the game would put a twist on it and subvert my expectations for the 1000th time but it was straight-forward and tedious

You should go back and do it! Sounds like you may have missed one of the cooler parts of the game -- did you discover all of the map, particularly the area due east of Hyrule Castle?

My big prediction for later today: Nintendo unveils a plan to do the same rolling launch with Arms that they did with Splatoon. Constant content updates for the first few months, new stages, new characters, new fists.
