Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Zelda: Breath of the Wild receives Best of Gamescom award

captain carot on 22 August 2016

@MrCkurab: Wouldn't call myself a real journalist. ^^
I write for a small german games site, but that's more like an ambitious hobby than work right now.
But yes, we had an appointment.
Thing is, that's why i understand Nintendo even less.
NES Mini? That little thing is really nice. It works perfectly fine. They SHOULD have shown it in action on the booth. I mean, two old NES with CRT's is nice from a nostalgic point of view. But they really should have shown the NES Mini.
If someone cares, controller feels good. There souldn't be a big difference to real NES controllers. Menu has a clean structure and decent look, and yes, there are some options, like scanline filter for example.

Zelda, well. The demo worked perfectly fine, actually was quite impressive in some ways and looked good (not perfect). Nintendo should have shown it publicly. Simple as that. There's really no reason to show it behind closed doors.

I will have a Zelda preview (in german) up on wednesday i think. If you're interested, it's gamingnerd.net

Oh nice, really hope this game doesn't get delayed or anything D:

And miss the NX launch? Not even Nintendo is that dumb.

This game looks amazing! I'm definitely getting it for the NX. Trying to play the best version of the game, if that's applicable.

It's nice to see the era of "it's too kiddy" coming to an end. Nothing pissed me off more back in the day than hearing people rag on a Nintendo game for being "too kiddy". If this game was releasing in 2005, that is exactly the fate it would have seen... brushed aside because of the graphical choice and lack of guns/realistic gore etc.

It's also nice to see Nintendo taking names again. It's been awhile.

TBH, i hate Wind Wakers artstyle, i always will hate it and my hate will go on. Like an iceberg.


But i love that Breath of the Wild look.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Wind Waker looks utterly hideous, but Breath of the Wild looks beautiful.

The game does look quite amazing. Depending on what the NX is, I may purchase one at launch just for a premium Breath of the Wild experience.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I am curious, did you try WW HD!?

IMO WW HD probably has best graphic on Wii U.

It's ok to hate something because of it's looks. I am fine with that. I just don't like when people say "I hate that game because it's too kiddy". It was such a brainless thing to say and made no sense. 

I'm glad the millenials have, for the most part, let that die off.
