This exists apparently

Can't wait for them to top this fight scene

John Wick who?

 

[cashregister9]

Wait they've been taken down too.

Uh oh...

Modern Game Industry Moment

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Wait they've been taken down too.

Uh oh...

Probably because preorders arent even supposed to be happening

 

[Z25]

So Zelda $70 very likely:

GameStop has now halted preorders for Tears of the Kingdom https://t.co/tPSm7CDVTg

Modern Game Industry Moment

Sony will pay for their crimes

 

[Noipoi]

Can't afford Tears of the Kingdom?

 

[Z25]

If Zelda is $70 then I hope that’s a good sign. One being that the game is massive with a lot to do. The other being that this could support switch successor next year.

We may even be able to get one that’s close or on par with the Steam Deck. Nintendo has expanded a lot of resources these past few years, so maybe a bigger Gen Jump than we thought.

Probably unlikely but not impossible imo.

Tears of My Wallet

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Who ****ing knows really. could be an error. Could be everyone jumping the gun at seeing 69 bucks, could be delayed. I have my cards on it was an error

 

[Z25]

Nintendo pricing tears of the kingdom at $70

 

[ZephyrZ]

Maybe Tears of the Kingdom will come with a free wave of DLC. I could see Nintendo pulling an experimental stunt like that. Shrug

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So no one thinks people are jumping the gun? Just me?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

maybe an extra $10 could be due to some Day 1 season pass like with FE Engage…tho with less long term content

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Random bet for tomorrow. LEGO Nintendo: The Game

 

[Z25]

Random bet for tomorrow. LEGO Nintendo: The Game

Would be hype but probably never happening.

 

[Aurane]

$70 for a game that will likely have paid dlc?

I'm fairly certain that was an error.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

maybe an extra $10 could be due to some Day 1 season pass like with FE Engage…tho with less long term content

I wouldnt doubt it. Fe was 89.99 because it was base game + expantion

 

[TheMightyP]

Y'all tune into the State of the Union, Biden just revealed he has all 7 Chaos Emeralds

 

[SneakyLink]

In other news, the Metroid Prime 4 preorder on Amazon was taken down.

*cancellation

 

[Wario Bros.]

In other news, the Metroid Prime 4 preorder on Amazon was taken down.

Probably something to do with raising the price like TotK.

Besides, I never pre-order games without a solid release date.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

*cancellation

Imagine waiting all this time and the first thing you hear in 4 years is "we have to cancel the game"

 

[SneakyLink]

[KillerCage]

The direct tomorrow announces Ultimate 2. Your response?

Why is not called "Super Smash Bros Ultimate Special Edition/Special Ultimate Edition"?

 

[Hadokeyblade]

watching Yosuke not being a bit perverted like Junpei and Ryuji is either weird or awesome

Happens when Rise shows up.

 

[cashregister9]

The state of the union was okay, the best part was when Biden said "Kobeni is the best character in Chainsaw Man"

I don't know what that had to do with everything else but it is true.

 

[Guynamednelson]

The Machine: Bride of Pinbot - Solid State Williams table with the Billionaire's club

Shame they're not adding the original Pinbot as well

Bride has a great atmosphere, but the original Pinbot's gameplay is more varied.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Can't afford Tears of the Kingdom?

Nintendo upon being confronted by angry LoZ fans who can't afford the base game:

 

[TheMightyP]

I don't know what that had to do with everything else but it is true.

Yeesh, no Aki respect? No longer voting for him

 

[TMNTSSB4]

oh wow…people mad at Disney for Proud Family pulling a Proud Family…

I wouldnt doubt it. Fe was 89.99 because it was base game + expantion

thankfully it’ll just be emblem rings and extra maps to go through, but with Zelda who knows what’ll happen to cause a price increase

Happens when Rise shows up.

…well I guess I can’t blame him for breaking down. She is a superstar after all based on my limited knowledge of her (and counting Persona 5)

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I cam think of plenty of stuff.
Costumes
Strong beginner weapons
Early items is crafter is still in
Ect

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Seeing people freak out about TotK being 70 smackoos is weird cause BotW was 70 euros here in Europe too. Like, yeah, **** the gaming industry on making everything more expensive but I guess 70 BotW was only a EU thing. At least you can use the Switch vouchers again to help with that

 

[TheMightyP]

TIL Impractical Jokers is still on the air

 

[Z25]

Yes but without Joe it wasn’t as good as it used to be.

…a Zelda expansion pack that follows whatever the **** she’s doing while Link is out here losing an arm, like the Catwoman dlc in Arkham City

 

[Roguewolf]

Y'all tune into the State of the Union, Biden just revealed he has all 7 Chaos Emeralds

Undefeatable starts playing

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Once I’m done with all these Lego games I’m gonna play all three Bayonetta games on switch. 3 I’ll even be playing for the first time.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Im already seeing a fate bit of fearmongering with this 69.99 zelda stuff from the worst people. Cough cough centro leaks

Please, cant we just wait till an official annoumcment?
