We have a bit of a gathering of news for you around tears of the kingdom We've got three different things we need to get to and let's not beat around the bush Let's get right into it and the first one comes from a Q&A That Brian Altano from IGN did on a recent episode of the Nintendo voice chat, which is their Nintendo Podcast from nice reminder. We have our own podcast every Wednesday at 8 p.m Hopefully we'll catch you there next week. All right So there's a couple things that he talked about from his time playing tears of the kingdom That we're gonna be able to cover here because this is not from any sort of leaks. This is just stuff He's allowed to talk about so one big thing that we learn from this Q&A is that the music in the game is much Jazzier than Breath of the Wild. So basically more horn instruments and just you know, not necessarily so reliant on melodic piano all the time and he said he just can't wait to hear more of the soundtrack as he plays Obviously where you know the areas he's able to talk about are very limited, right? Now now one thing he also noted and this is a nice carry-over from Breath of the Wild is that there's a lot of Everyone who plays the game is solving all the puzzles in completely different ways And that is something that was really big in Breath of the Wild So many people finding clever ways to use unintended abilities to solve puzzles just completely different than Probably what the puzzle was designed for that was a lot of fun for some people other people I actually found that to be maybe a bit more of a Really, I like the there's only one way to do things sort of path But in the end it was mostly loved by a lot of the people who played Breath of the Wild and that does return in tears of the kingdom All right another thing that he said and this is maybe the most hyped and exciting thing that we learned under this Q&A and the Final thing that's really new we haven't talked about yet is he said there's almost an overwhelming amount of stuff to do in those beginning sky islands Which sort of sets up how the sky islands and maybe the whole game in general feels he said from what he played the game felt Incredibly dense with content so enemy varieties things to do quest etc etc etc Way denser than Breath of the Wild was and you know that is one of the number one complaints From Breath of the Wild is that it was maybe a little too empty for some people I happened to enjoy some of that emptiness it really added to the atmosphere for me But not everyone really did and so the good news for those that were really worried that this game was just going to be more Oh, it's just exactly as empty as Breath of the Wild well according to Brian Altano That's not the case at least from what he played the game is extremely dense with so many things to do It could sometimes be overwhelming because there's just so much to do in this game And I'm not really surprised given what we know from the leaks, but again, we don't talk about that stuff here at this channel All right now we got to get to our next story and this is one that's really cool and people like to know this sometimes just for collector's reasons There is actually going to be an official guidebook available at launch for tears of the kingdom now This has not been announced by Nintendo, but it did appear on a Spanish website and you can see here is gonna be a hardcover and a softcover version of it It looks really really good. It's got one of those symbols. We've seen Nintendo using looks like a gold brown emboss Hardcover that they're showing off looks really really good Obviously this hasn't been announced for you the United States at this point It isn't officially licensed guide so Nintendo did give them permission and obviously access to the game to make the guide So that's really cool. Look, I used to collect these walkthrough guides and really use them I still have one for spirit tracks that I really adored just every now and then thumbing through it I remember as a kid enjoying these a lot more than as an adult But it is still really neat just to have and look at and after you beat a game sometimes reminisce a bit without necessarily Having to load up your switch. So that is kind of cool Some of you guys might import it or maybe some of you guys live where this is going to be available This you know has been available at several different Spanish retailers So if you happen to be in one of those countries, you'll go ahead and take a look All right, this last story we have to talk about this one's really interesting because it's about Getting tears of the kingdom Cheaper now every time there's a major release for Nintendo like one of their biggest of big games We typically have a video come out that it says hey Here's how you can get tears of the kingdom cheaper than $70 or don't pay $70 for tears of the kingdom In fact, it might be a video. I still end up making because I don't think that's the headline for this one But something cropped up that just adds to the copious amount of ways that you can buy tears of the kingdom without spending $70 and that is that Costco someone took a picture at Costco of a display setup that they have for well Tears of the kingdom now this display setup probably doesn't have any games in it yet This is just where they're going to be putting the games to be bought But the setup notes that tears of the kingdom is going to cost 59 99 now how can this happen when it's? $70 or 69 99 well if you guys remember this entire switch generation or most of it Walmart has had a special deal with certain game publishers including Nintendo where they could sell switch games $10 cheaper in store So if you didn't pre-order it, but you walked in store and bought one on launch you could get it $10 cheaper Than anywhere else. It was a special Walmart deal now I have to confirm if that Walmart deal is still going on Maybe you guys can confirm that down in the comments because I do want to make a buyer's guide for tears of the kingdom For anyone who's doing some last-minute shopping and trying to figure out how they can save money so we might do it do that but What I want to note here is now Costco appears to be selling it for 59 99 Likely striking a similar deal with Nintendo at least for this game to be able to sell it $10 cheaper now How do these deals happen? Look frankly the retailer just takes the loss. That's how it works. Nintendo doesn't take less money That $10 price point is probably a majority of the retailers profit margin And so when they take that $10 less They're just cutting out their profits to get you into their store and hoping that you're gonna buy other things It's a marketing ploy, but they did get special permission obviously to do that So that's good on Costco and good on gamers for having another way to get it cheaper than $70 now one last thing to throw up and this is just really neat Someone on the tears of the kingdom reddit Showed a picture of their local best buy Why because their local best buy has a giant Massive tears of the kingdom mural on the outside glass and it here it is. It looks great, man It's exactly the sort of imagery you would expect them to use because they've been using that link with his hand up and And the logo with the swirls and they've been using this in marketing everywhere But man, it's so cool to see Marketing like this obviously not every best buy or target or any you know of these various stores are always gonna have that But some of the stores will get marketing like this and to me, that's just incredible I like Nintendo's marketing for tears of the kingdom in this last month as much as they might have been criticized before You know April and May And they really been hitting it out of the park and I this is just a gorgeous mural man I want to I want to take this and piece it together and put it in my house I want I want to make one of my walls. Let's make our new backdrop of this giant mural I got to get a hold of this best buy and see if they can send me those window clings. I'll find a way to reuse them Anyways guys, thank you so much for tuning in. I am the theater Robo jazz from the center, Brian Hopefully I catch you on my live stream tonight at 8 p.m. Central you guys are amazing and awesome We'll catch you in the next video
