So this was Breath of the Wild's prototype.

Now I want this prototype as a game of its own in some way.

If Nintendo is smart they'll make this the next Mario Maker.

That reminds me, I really need to get around to finishing 3D Dot Game Heroes...

Because said jokes ere never funny to begin with....

And I would give it to Celica. At least she is a mage unlike her sword wielding brother Alm.

Yet you want a swordsman named Sigurd.

How is he any different from Alm other than his design and having a horse? His Silver Sword?

There's plenty of interesting things than can be done with Sig.

Alm on the other hand only has a god slaying sword with little special attributes. That's why Celica would be the better pick at least.

If you're like me and studied/have an interest in biology, looks like we got even more evidence of the very first signs of life on Earth. These little guys maybe microscopic in size but, they're our great great great....great grandparents in terms of the tree of life. Very cool stuff here.

 

[Erureido]

Sigurd speeds to victory with all his might. We know how loud his fandom is, even without knowing they hate barbecue jokes.

Now we are having a poll with some Holy War, plus the two mains of Fire Emblem Gaiden (and the upcoming remake Shadows of Valentia). They are Julia, Arya, Alm, and Celice. We will see which of the siblings are more popular in this poll.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Meanwhile, I'll imagine myself bloating after eating this Epic Burger. With eggs and bacon nonetheless.

While I haven't played either of those two games, I'll pick Julia for this poll, mostly because she's quite the magic nuke on FE Heroes team and can slay manaketes for that matter. I also like her design and voice.

Bull ****ing **** is that a prototype for the 3D game. That's something else entirely. Though if we get a new Zelda spin off I want Paper Zelda

It was to test out certain mechanics in BotW.

It might be a game on it's own down the line but I kinda doubt it. Would be cool tho.

I want to know WHAT mechanics got tested and how
This is WORSE than Biolizard to Shadow in terms of prototypes

Got my Nino to 5* and spent my shards to get her up to Lv16
Gonna grind her up now

Sigurd is your average pretty boy protagonist and it doesn't help they they just expanded on Marth's design to make him (even the hair color and face looks the same).

Sigurd on the other hand is an unstoppable force that at least looks manly enough compared to his boy.

At least Sigurd isn't Sigurd with his late promotion and ****ty stats, his father, Sigurd, was way better

With One Punch Man I was joking as the only time Agito Burning OHKO'd with a punch was once and he has red gloves. But Madoka
Jesus christ Madoka

Spoiler

Ryuki doesn't have Za Warudo but many Riders do and Ryuki has someone use Bite The Dust

EDIT
wtf Sigurd and Sigurd?

That just proves Kamen Rider ripped off Madoka you dummy

Imagine tge items and dungeons that would come with that

I am extremely glad none of this happened.

That would have jumped the shark big time.

You're right, Ryuki ripped something off that was about 10 years later
Also, the Zelda Maker theory isn't farfetched. This is how Mario Maker happened apparently

Nah. It'd be a different style of Majora's Mask or Triforce Heroes, tracksuit Link has better stamina and overall more faster
Biker Link has a bike as better transportation
Musician Link uses the obligatory in game instrument to fight enemies

Motorcycle Link here.

At least that's where the Master Bike came from.

 

[Ivander]

Despite how hilarious Torb jokes are, whether it'd be him getting a PotG of him dying at the start then getting 4-5 kills after or jokes about how his height, a Nano-boosted Molten Core Torbjorn is actually very terrifying, especially one that knows how to aim with that left-click of his.

Sorry but I have to.

Honestly, it wouldn't shock me that much if the alien are implanted well in the lore.
And hey, if we have got alien based off those....thing.

Then I think it won't look that bizarre as we could think at first. (Tough, geez, those thing are scary)

 

[Coricus]

Looking at those concept arts. . .high school Link is so hilariously 80's. If we were at any risk of it actually happening I might be worried, but since even they seem to realize how insane it was I feel comfortable just letting myself enjoy the cheese and chuckling.

The alien invasion on the other hand. . .that seems to be getting a general reception from people of "weird, but that actually might be kind of cool." I'm kind of inclined to agree, actually, although how hilarious that manga page looks might be part of what won me over on the scrapped concept. I imagine Murasame Castle fans would be madder than an Ura in a Fire Emblem convention if it somehow actually happened, though, LOL.

A 3* Frederick, a 3* Nino and

Not Hector
I still like Minerva even though I'm not using her because my team is full now. I really her voice too, it's exactly what I imagined Vaida sounding like though

Yeah, like how Gurren Lagann ripped off Undertale

 

[FalKoopa]

I'd like to see Link on a bike in a less serious Zelda game sometime.

Legend of Zelda Odyssey?

What the hell were they taking to make this game?

It all worked out in the end though.

I like how the UFO looks so much more real then everything else.

The alien idea could certain be neat if done right. As could the wars idea, but warriors sort of makes it redundant. unless they built it as a sequel to warriors.

Also motorcycle Link would be cool if he had the actual master cycle and a better look. The other two Link's aren't really needed. The design was not that good either. Glad they did what they did though.

Now for another game's early concepts:

In Pokemon GO the original protags were May and Brendan.

Wait, FAST RMX (the F-Zero lookalike from Shin'en) is less than one gigabyte in size (900 MB to be exact)?

Well, this was also the same company who was able to make Jett Rocket pretty lengthy when the WiiWare only allow a max of measly 40 megabytes for game size.

Shin'en are kinda famous at this point for being technical wizards.

Dudes can make anything fit in Nintendo consoles.

Can anyone change the name of the thread?
2 days left for the release of the Nintendo Switch.

I'm looking forward for the Super Bomberman R, because Bomberman doesn't have a game since 8 years.
Is Konami feeling remorse of their evil ways?

I now have the headcanon that Shin'en are the yakuza and they stuff the bodies in place you won't be able to expect them

 

[Arcanir]

That alien idea could be interesting, we have had aliens before as pointed out (Majora Mask's Them), so having aliens again wouldn't be too farfetch'd provided it's done right.

Really though, it's always interesting to see the concepts behind games because it allows us to see what the developers had in mind and understand what led them to make the game they did. It also lets us see some of the ideas like these, which can be pretty fun sometimes even if they can be out there.

I want Rock Star Link to be a thing so I can see him hitting people in the head with a guitar.

 

[Knight Dude]

Eh, a crazy hyper-future Zelda could work. Maaaaaybe. Some of the games managed to have weirdly advanced tech in it. Just not a modern day setting. Like, I don't want to see Link going to school, or driving a sedan and ****.
