Hackers have now found a way to make an alternative homebrew launcher for the Nintendo Switch. What does this mean for Nintendo, the Switch and you?
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has already cemented its legacy through its sprawling open world and commitment to player freedom.
Yesterday I was playing and there was a puzzle with two gears, (one moving and one stationary) and I couldn’t figure out how to get the stationary gear moving .
I took my spear and stuck it against moving gear and it transferred the motion to the stationary gear and that solved the puzzle.
I was so shocked I went online to see what was the intended way to solve this and I didn’t see anyone solve it quite the way I did (from the few videos I watched).
I definitely believe that this “intuitive” gameplay is the future of game design.
Indeed. The number of puzzles I solved thinking this will never work surprised me. One puzzle had me wanting to pull my hair out though. It was one of the jet rail puzzles. I looked up tips and one solution was as simple as creating a box and draping it over the rail and riding that across as you stood in the middle of it. I was done. 🤣
I'm dumb AF when it comes to this game, I tend to over complicate the solution, but some of the things people come up with is brillant, people are making missiles systems, mechs, tanks, etc...
ToTK would have been amazing to me if the first part either didn't exist, or I never played BotW. Part of my issue is feeling like I've done all this before and TotK feels like a 1.5 version of BotW, Totk temples and puzzles were better than the first game though.
Nintendo may be working on a brand new Legend of Zelda game featuring Zelda as the main character, based on a new rumor.
It works
The cycle of hatred can't always be exactly the same
Maybe in one reincarnation the Hyrule family name their son Link in honour of Hylia's chosen hero and some village woman name their daughter Zelda in honour of Princess Zelda from the old tales of the lands past.
It’ll work because Nintendo doesn’t really care about lore consistency in the Zelda franchise (see the various weird discontinuities between BotW and TotK such as disappearance of Shiekah tech). If they want Zelda as a main character then they’ll make it happen.
Trying to make sense of the Zelda timeline is insane anyway, I just see it as a rough guide, I'm not even going to try and place BotW/ToTK because it causes inconsistencies in the lore with previous games.
This rumor, or variants of it, appears pretty much every time there is a gap with a non-announced Zelda game in the works. So I would take it with a grain of salt."
That said, I have always wanted a game where you play as her. Not exactly a "Zelda game", mind you, I always see her making more sense in something like a city builder/management or strategy game.
There's a rumor that another Zelda Musou game in the works. I'd sooner believe that one over this.
A character select screen would work just fine. If RPG developers, with far more complex gameplay everything, have been able to do this, why is Nintendo still dragging their feet?
This ain't Baldur's Gate nor Morrowind, so lets get to it already.
"The Warsaw-based (Poland) indie games publisher and deveöpåer RedDeer today announced with great joy and excitement that their frantic hotel management sim "Hotel Hustle", is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Don't use it for evil...
It's not really 'new'. It's been en development for a little while now, and had been tweeted about before. Not to mention SciresM is working on full-fledged custom firmware. And PrinceVegeta, you can't use a 'homebrew launcher' for evil. They've already got an entrypoint for trustzone access on 3.0, so it'll come... just not with this HBL...
