Has anyone actually found the NSP/XCI somewhere?
I’ve found an update file but the base game doesn’t seem to be anywhere I have access to.
Now all the emulator devs just need to please not brag about being able to emulate it.
I’ve got it up and running in Yuzu with prod.keys 18.0. At least I watched the opening cinematic. Not that interested in playing. Just seeing if it was true.
It… Kind of sucks… I don’t think I’ll even bother to open my physical copy when it arrives.
I think the idea is neat to echo monsters but to have that be my main attack, it’s not fun for me.
Hmm. That doesn’t sound particularly enjoyable. I haven’t played a Zelda game since Skyward Sword, and that one really rubbed me the wrong way. Formulaic and dull. I suppose that’s why the next entry made such drastic changes. I might just emulate BotW someday to see what all the fuss is about.
The Wii and WiiU eras were a creative black hole for Nintendo. Most people would begrudgingly agree Skyward Sword is the worst Zelda game on a Nintendo console.
If you played and liked Wind Waker you’ll probably dig BotW and TotK.
That’s encouraging. Wind Waker might be my favorite.
Why? Wind Waker is structurally nothing like BOTW or TOTK. It’s a great game, sure, but it’s apples and oranges.
Open exploration, similar art style, and they mentioned not liking Skyward; I would say BotW is more akin to WW than SS. But yes, they are very different.
My early impressions are certainly quite positive, I love how experimental it is and very willing to explore new gameplay styles. Certainly curious to see what the metascore ends up being, probably higher than Link’s Awakening HD?
On which website, so I can avoid it?
There is a torrent floating around but availability is 20.9% at the moment.
PM me a link?

unrelated but we both have a south park reference as username lol
Do either of you know of a great warrior by the name of loves2spooge?
Good fuck Nintendo lol
And if you are wondering why Sony is killing physical games…
We’ll keep wondering cause the shift to digital clearly isn’t stopping piracy.
Like almost everything, it isn’t about stopping piracy entirely.
Physical copies get sold early by stores/cashiers that don’t care. Or they get outright pocketed/copied at the factories and warehouses. Which lead to the constant “This nintendo game leaked a week or a month or whatever early”. Which… less so after the lawsuits but it means emulators can be updated to support the games before they even hit shelves.
Digital only doesn’t entirely stop that. But it tends to lead more toward “an unknown fake influencer posted all the cutscenes of this game online a week early”.
lol Nintendo are the only ones who get their games pirated, because they use antique hardware.
It’s not the “antiquity” of the hardware. It’s that the chipset was known and they forgot to lock the bootloader.
That’s what happens when your core manufacturing philosophy is “withered technology”. You get old tech people have figured out.
Not a nintendo fan boy, but i will say i love that they focus more on good gameplay than having the flashiest graphics
I loved that the Gameboy was designed to survive a fall from the average shirt pocket. I love that the Wii controllers pushed gyroscopic technology so far that it allowed the explosion of quadcopters. I loved the idea of 3d through rapid aspect switching.
I loved when Nintendo pushed boundaries, not just through hardware but through gameplay. I enjoy and appreciate the Nintendo polish
I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly - good gameplay is much more important than flashy graphics. But the polish was nice - pushing boundaries is what made the difference
i hate people so much :(
oh no! big corpo nintemdo is gonna be so sad!
lemme play a song on the world’s smallest violin.
But…but…there might be spoilers!!
I think it’s so silly how every article about this talks about the danger of spoilers because the game leaked early. There are going to be spoilers galore once the game officially releases in a few days. What difference does it make?
I was going to write a snarky comment about how people can’t stay off of social media even for five days, but then I wondered “what is there to even spoil?”
It’s freaking Zelda, we all know the drill by now. I truly don’t know what is there to worry about.
I bet Gannondorf is involved!
I’m gonna assume you’re just a really sad person who hates everyone, and this comment is off-topic, because there’s no way you’re in the Piracy community complaining about a Nintendo leak.
