Also, this isn't the first time Nintendo has done an extra content bonus for pre-ordering Zelda. Can anyone remember the first time?

Isn't this published by Tecmo Koei in Japan? I think it is, and if it arrives in America then, yes, fuck.

Ugh, pre-order DLC. Was hoping this of all things would stay far away from Nintendo games.

I just want them to do things related to games OTHER than Twilight Princess i mean c'mon man.

The end times have come. Pre Order Skins have hit Nintendo. Good thing this game is being made by third party because it doesnt represent the Nintendo ethic. With Nintendo generally what you see is what you get, not what you dont see is my advantage after the launch of the actual game.

But why though!?

This is why I didn't pity them when they got the PS4 last.

Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors come out first in Japan because they are made in Japan and the base product is Japanese. Every other version has to work from there, which takes time and thus results in a later release. It's simple.

Regarding the pre-order DLC: Right now, this isn't Nintendo's doing, but Tecmo Koei's, who publish the game in Japan. If that practice makes it over to North America and Europe, then we'll have ourselves our first Nintendo pre-oder DLC. Wether that is a good thing or not is up to taste, I guess.

We'll see if Nintendo follows suit when they publish it in the West. I'm not going to be happy about it if they start with preorder exclusive DLC.
I was not going to pick up Hyrule Warriors at launch anyway, and this won't convince me to do so. But I guess I'll miss out on it if I do pick it up late. Joy joy.

You are literally the only person who is saying this. WTF are you trying to prove?

Because that's how the majority of Nintendo fans usually act?  They're not this time.  It's a close to July 4th miracle!
