3·1 year agoTook them long enough. To be honest, I’m surprised that this extremely obvious ripoff was even greenlit in the first place.
“No, you don’t. No, just nibbling a bit is not okay either. Don’t even lick it! Oi, what do you have in your mouth!? Bad boy!” cue to Revali’s ancestor dousing the Goron Champion with a big spray bottle
The Wii U Gamepad was originally planned to be the “map” part: https://youtu.be/SECWlFInyFM?t=42 … so yes, it definitely would have been utilized better.
Contact customer service and ask for a repair. Nintendo got mass sued a couple years ago over the poor quality of the Joycons, and now has to repair drift for free even if the warranty period is up. I am not sure whether this applies to all parts of the world (I live n Germany), but I personally sent my Joycons to repair four times since buying the system (last one was in January) and always got a joke invoice for zero Euro from them. Only thing I had to actually pay for was postal service.
Even if they decline …asking doesn’t hurt and might be worth a shot.
Story spoilers
I wish they wouldn’t have repeated everything so frigging often all the time. I get that it is difficult to create an interesting narrative while simultaneously giving the player the freedom to discover everything out of order, but they could still have split the main story into different parts. I mean, each of the Champion cutscenes were the same: “We were too weak, we got Secret Stones, we were still to weak, Rauru sacrificed himself, now here’s the dang stone, go kill Ganon.”
At one point I honestly found myself mocking the dialogue. Blah blah Secret Stone blah blah Secret Stone blah…
My idea of a split storytelling would be:
-
Sidon gets told that the “old” champions were too weak to defeat Ganon but not how they tried to solve the issue or what happened afterwards. As his sister was basically the “healer” of the BotW party and Sidon worries about the safety and wellbeing of his people all the time, it might be important to him to learn that the old Champions didn’t have a way to heal.
-
Yunobo gets told that Rauru was the one who gave them the Secret Stones to make them stronger. As a Goron, the old Champion would have been pleased to know that stones of all things were the key element of their plan to defeat the BBE. He does not tell why they still lost in the end.
-
Riju’s ancestor urges her to rid the world of the “evil” that the Gerudo race brought into this world, but at the same time warns her not to underestimate this enemy as they were no match for him even WITH the Secret Stones. She does not mention Rauru’s sacrifice or where the stones came from.
-
Tulin on the other hand gets told that Rauru sacrificed himself without an explanation as to why this was necessary. Rito are dang proud people so it would be no surprise for the “old Champion” not admitting defeat, and not mentioning where the “help” came from, but thinking highly of someone who threw his very life away to save his people.
That way, each champion would have unlocked an important part of the narrative without duplicates, and frankly I don’t think it is important to tell these four bullet points in a specific order.

Record videos longer than 30 seconds, and for ALL games. As it is now, the Switch can only record the last 30 seconds of gameplay (which, in itself, is really cool because it works retroactively) and if you want to make longer videos, you either need to record consecutive clips and edit them on a different device, or you need a capture card. And it only works for some games to begin with - The Witcher 3 for example does not support that feature. You can take screenshots, but no videos.

… for the SNES. Those were the games I grew up with and every other year I get the itch to replay one of those. I’ve considered playing the remake of SoM 2 but the demo felt bland and off to me.
On a related note, I would totally buy each of those for the Switch so I could play them on a proper handheld, but the current system with the yearly subscription that basically only rents those games to the end user and forces them to stay online, is something I find off-putting. I’d much rather just pay once and be done, like with every other game in the eShop.
Do they at least keep the monstie element / color change this time? TBH I was severely disappointed in MonHun Stories when I learned that they removed the only gameplay feature that kept gameplay interesting after the main story.
