VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Earlier this week, the world was treated to 10+ minutes of uninterrupted gameplay footage from the highly-anticipated Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom. While producer Eiji Aonuma was understandably reluctant to reveal all of the game's secrets, he did, in the course of his demonstration, confirm several interesting things about the upcoming adventure regarding new and returning mechanics. Some burning questions, however, remain unanswered.
So, what do we know — apart from the fact that many of us will have less money come May 12, thanks to an abundance of special edition Tears of the Kingdom merchandise?"
"When all's said and done, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a fantastic revamp of perhaps Nintendo's most sublime sequel. What was once a technical marvel on aged hardware now has a chance to truly shine, with visual and performance boosts undoubtedly making it the definitive way to play.
Nothing will ever match the feeling of playing it for the first time, of course, and some bonus content would have been welcome, but armed with Zelda Notes and the promise of buttery smooth upgrades, I'd challenge anyone to dip back in without losing hours to its unrivalled wonder." - Jim Norman | NintendoLife
Ben of Netto’s Game Room discusses the Zelda Notes App and why he feels it is actually pretty impressive, and well worth checking out!
Prices revealed for all Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade Packs, coming from both Nintendo and third-parties.
I argue that simple res/FPS bumps should be free, and then you can charge $10 if it includes actual extra content. That seems to be what has been settled on.
Many PS4 games got free upgrades for PS5 when just increasing res/FPS. Days Gone, for example, got a free FPS bump to start the generation. Now it's getting a "remaster", improved visuals/extra modes/content for $10.
I know they have *some* free upgrades - though we don't know what they entail - but the Zelda games just seem like they know they can get money from eager new buyers, so why not. Zelda Notes doesn't quite seem to justify $10, but hey, let us choose. Make it a $10 app, and give the res/FPS upgrades for free.
Weird the Jamboree pack being 20 with no new boards or minigames for party mode, way to miss the mark. Minigame variety is seriously lacking for the party mode compared to superstars, my biggest issue with the game, think I'll pass on that.
I wonder if there will be supply issues (unable to find the system). Interesting that they are launching in the middle of the year as well.
