Today's Zelda trailer featured nearly non of that crafting nonsense the youngun's go gooey for and featured more actual stuff happening. Ganon's also back in human form, which is a big step up from last game's silly spider incarnation. Seems like they dialed the experimentational stuff up to 11 and threw everything and the kitchen sink at it to see what sticks. While that works well for Mario games, it's not what I like to see in Zelda per se.

Faith mildly restored.
That trailer was meh! Epic music! Epic landscapes! Epic battles! Epic villains! Sooo boring!
If it's South Carolina, it would probably be Greenville.
If we go the North Carolina route there would be more options. Charlotte, Asheville, and the area in between (primarily Hickory) are the first choices, but the Raleigh are wouldn't be out of the question either.
1. Our youngest kid will be graduating high school next year, and we are ready to downsize our house. It was meant for a family of five and whether or not he stays with us, we just don't need all this space.
2. After last year's hurricanes I'm sick and tired of living in an area where I could literally lose everything I own due to the weather.
3. Florida politics are starting to get nasty, particularly ever since our governor decided he wanted to be president and now has to have a conservative dick waving contest with every other candidate out there. I don't see a scenario where we become more moderate again, so if there's an opportunity to not deal with it, I'll take it.
Smart man, this state is a shit show. I'm trying to find a place and it's impossible with the prices and insurance, you should sell and GTFO. NC is where every south Floridian seems to go.
What a day of trailers! Zelda has my faith almost fully restored. I saw things that looked like dungeons! Actual bosses including a Gleelok!! Mech combat! Mine cart chase! Diving through lasers sonic style! That was very exciting to see. I think the heroes all have a tear and each have a sort of dungeon area you need to clear, there might be a dungeon item like that wing suit, and then a dungeon boss, they showed a few of them. I hope that's the structure of the game, seems traditional in that regard, that's all I ask, a mix of old and new.
But it was the FF16 presentation which blew my mind. That game looks like it has everything I could want. Almost DMC like action, dark souls like enemies, beautiful locations and a wide variety to explore. Crazy epic boss battles that make god of war look tame by comparison. Game variety, one section was panzer dragoon, another sonic like! It's the everything game!
Yeah that Final Fantasy XVI stuff looked amazing. Combat looks like it’ll be a lot of fun and those Eikon battles look crazy cool. What a next couple of months this is going to be. Got Tears of the Kingdom, Street Fighter 6, Diablo IV, and FFXVI all coming out. Even got Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores and Final Fantasy Pixel Perfect remasters coming out next week. What a year.

Ehhh... The trailer was good, I just hope the game doesn't rely too heavily on the crafting mechanic. I really didn't like what I saw of that. Could be that for the purpose of the demo, they just placed the exact pieces you needed nearby, but if it's as heavy handed as that in the final game, it's not puzzles, it's just something clumsy that'll slow me down. I hardly experimented with the physics in BotW, it's just not my thing, and this seems to lean even more heavily into that direction.
As for speculation about the story, I'm thinking Ganon somehow managed to tap into Link's Triforce of courage power to resurect himself. Hence his reappearance and Link's corrupted arm.
I had too google Gleelok. Then it transpired that you meant a Gleeok, without the second L, which I would obviously have instantly known, being such a big Zelda fan as I am.
Clearly the wheat is being separated from the chaff here in terms of who the true Zelda fans are at the VGPress. I thought higher of you Vader.
And its... a must see. I mean, if you're a Mario fan it's something you have to see. The way characters are rendered and animated brings everything to life.
Unfortunately the actual movie is mostly a short meh-fest. I'd give it a 2 stars out of 5.
They seem to have taken Mario skinning and laid it over your bog standard kids movie.
First problem is the script, it's not terrible just pedestrian. Then the voice acting. When I got home I watched some Mario game cutscenes to confirm it. But Nintendo captures the essence of Mario in its cutscenes, without much dialogue. Its almost silent movie territory with the odd spoken word.
But the way the characters move and the way everything is framed and scored make it special.
Peach, Mario and Luigi, even Captain Toad and DK just don't really sound like what you'd imagine.
And despite Mario games having some of the very best, catchiest tunes in Gaming history, the movie uses 80s pop songs??
Or a bland Orchestral score, rather than the actual Orchestral music in Galaxy or Odyssey.
The movie feels best when it's directly trying to mimic parts from the games, like the opening or Luigi being afraid in a forest. When it's trying to do its own thing its far less successful.
Seth rogan as Donkey Kong... no dude.
Whilst I don't regret seeing the movie it's far from a good movie.
Been hearing a lot of good stuff about the Mario Bros. Movie. Heard that Jack Black plays an excellent Bowser. I’ll probably just wait and get the movie when it comes out on blu-ray.
I really enjoyed the movie. There's no story and no real stakes, it doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it is just a fun time. I loved all the references to Mario's history. Some of them, like Captain Lou Albano, were completely unexpected.
Watched too much 80s Magnum.

What part of NC and SC are upu interested in?

Asheville and Charlotte are fine choices. Greenville really is the best city in SC.
I really liked that Tears of the Kingdom trailer. Only a month left to go now. Woo hoo!
Same here.

I just can't imagine Donkey Kong talking at all. Seems wrong.
