 We're roughly 34 days away from Tears of the Kingdom arriving in front of us And it's still interesting as I scour the internet and I read the comment sections and I take on the live streams and you know There's some narratives going around about Tears of the Kingdom that I find to be an absolute joke I find to be embarrassing and You know, I think we've sort of hit the point now Where we just need to accept as a community that some fans are never going to be happy We talked, you know, not too long ago about a week or so ago about some developers who were Ironically upset at Tears of the Kingdom's gameplay presentation again Ironic because they actually thought it was so brilliant. It made their own work look bad, right? We did a whole video on that if you want to check that out We also went over an article that was published at our very popular website Talking about how Tears of the Kingdom has ruined the Legend of Zelda franchise and again We actually went in-depth you have further on that conversation on our podcast this week We've also seen the consistent narrative that Tears of the Kingdom is just DLC And that's the narrative that sort of sticks around beyond everything else with the common arguing points being really three fold One Tears of the Kingdom Visually does not look really better than Breath of the Wild I think that's not being fair, but you know what let's bite and say that that's true That it reuses the same map from Breath of the Wild and other sequels don't do this Which also is not true We've seen sequels of games in the past reuse the same map But that's neither here nor there again That is one of the criticisms and then the chief thing brought up and maybe the Thing that I believe that IG Onua regrets the most the statements made Back when this after this game was announced that the reason this game exists is because they had too many ideas When they were looking at making more DLC for Breath of the Wild so many ideas They decided to make a new game and that's been one of the driving quotes behind Everything now before we continue this conversation Hopefully I don't have to remind you much longer We're on our road to 100,000 subscribers and if we get there by the time Tears of the Kingdom comes out We're gonna be giving away a special edition Zelda Switch OLED a collector's edition of the game We're gonna give away one of those collector's pins from PAX East also We have some other giveaways in the works as well. We're gonna have two separate giveaway events I haven't given details on this yet, but because we're close to 100k I figured I might as well For some of the giveaways it'll just be a standard entry form So right now you can't enter just subscribe to the channel The only requirement is that you need to be subscribed in order to enter to win But anyways, we'll have a standard entry form and then we'll also have a live stream Celebration event that will have additional giveaways that are only given away live. So we'll have more details on that Basically when we hit 100k plans have already been made But you know dates haven't been picked because we don't know when that day is coming now that being said The whole narrative around tears of the kingdom and and I firmly believe that there are other probably more legitimate concerns to talk about with this game It's it's just Nintendo sort of did this to themselves. I think if I do a new man never uttered the words They had too many ideas for DLC So that's why they made tears of the kingdom this whole tears of the kingdom being DLC narrative wouldn't even exist anymore And I do think that in the grand scheme. We're talking about a very very vocal minority on the internet I haven't seen anyone in real life that is confused about this game or thinks that is DLC I also think that the fourth thing that I kind of went unmentioned that adds to this is that the game is 70 bucks Right. So when it when a game goes to 70 and it's Nintendo's first-ever retail MSRP $70 game in the modern gaming era obviously they used to price games like this back in the day They've priced games even higher It gets really weird Because you're reusing the same map visually looking the same. Oh my gosh It's it's the same running animations and like oh man This means that it is not a $70 game. It's it's just so weird To me we know so little about this game We really do we know so little about this game because of the way Nintendo has chosen the market the game Which by the way the way they've chosen the market It seems to be working and the game is selling incredibly well And there's some trailers happening during the Mario movie in some territories, but I I don't understand I don't understand why this narrative keeps coming up because in the end Nobody has to buy tears of the kingdom like it's okay if you don't think tears of the kingdom is worth $70 It's okay. If you think it's just $70 DLC like those are Okay thoughts and opinions if those are your thoughts if those are your opinions not me not the Hundreds of people down in the comment section Not anyone is going to be able to convince you otherwise Because it is a subjective Personal take now for some of you you just want it to be bad You want Zelda to go back to the way it was you want this game to tank or for others of you You're just haters right you pretty much never have anything positive to say about Nintendo anyways you probably constantly make fun make fun of switch and switch fans and For others that they do are they actually are fans of Zelda and our fans of Nintendo and they feel that this is Legit concerns for them. There's nothing we can present to them That's going to make them change their minds other than the game itself the game Will have to change their minds not us But it's a narrative that keeps popping up. I see it in the comment section of every video I see it in the comments on most of my live streams. I see it on Twitter and Facebook and Reddit and Guys, I think it's time as Zelda fans and this includes myself As tears of the kingdom fans that we just accept that not every games for every person and it's impossible for tears Of the kingdom to please everyone look, I think tears of the kingdom is about to be the best game ever made I don't know this for sure. I haven't played it my opinion might change drastically once I do Maybe I don't enjoy it as much as Breath of the Wild which is my current favorite game of all time Maybe tears of the kingdom falls on its face and these new mechanics are much to do about nothing They're not as exciting as we hope they will be that there isn't enough changes And it does kind of just feel like a breath of the wild 1.5 And that's fine if that's what happens. We'll deal with that when the time comes But for now, I'm incredibly excited I know many of you are incredibly excited and I think it's time. We block out the noise This just happened with the Mario movie by the way, right Mario movie came out It has an incredible 90 plus audience score But yet before any of us saw the movie and the critics saw it It had a pretty bad critics score and because of that there was this negative sentiment flying around about the Mario movie Now thankfully many of us have gone to the movie the audience score is showing that and Because of that the audience is proving. Hey, we actually kind of like this thing In fact, we kind of like this movie a lot And so the narrative around the Mario movie is slowly shifting away from the negative Pre-release reviews and more to the positive audience reviews and honestly This is what we have to look to with tears of the kingdom a lot of the folks parroting these negative viewpoints are just trying to hurt Nintendo and hurt this particular game and I think after the game comes out the Positive reaction to it is gonna drown it out so much that none of us even know it exists so in the end I want to know your guys's thoughts on this whole mess of criticism that that seems to be getting pandered by Probably the vocal minority, but they're a pretty vocal minority And what you think about all of the nonsense around this game again, it's perfectly fine to be critical It's perfectly fine to not be excited by tears of the kingdom and have your criticisms I'm not saying that you can't but I do think once the game comes out the audience will speak for itself We're gonna see massively positive takes and for the most part people are gonna love it And maybe I'm wrong But I have enough faith in the Zelda team who has rarely let me down that they're not gonna mess it up this time In fact, I'm almost more excited because They spent so many of the years with rest of the wild just making all the systems work that now They could take a bunch of vast ideas They have to use with those systems and get them implemented vast ideas with story and put them into this world So I think this game is gonna be grand. Juice. I think it's gonna be amazing It's twice the size file and more than twice the size file lies of the original breath of the wild and I think we have one of the grandest adventures ever Coming up you guys. Let me know you think what this down in the comments below I am Nathaniel of a chance from Nintendo Prime. I'll catch you guys tomorrow in our next video And I hope you guys have a great start to your weekends
