Has anyone actually found the NSP/XCI somewhere?
I’ve found an update file but the base game doesn’t seem to be anywhere I have access to.
i hate people so much :(
oh no! big corpo nintemdo is gonna be so sad!
lemme play a song on the world’s smallest violin.
But…but…there might be spoilers!!
I think it’s so silly how every article about this talks about the danger of spoilers because the game leaked early. There are going to be spoilers galore once the game officially releases in a few days. What difference does it make?
I was going to write a snarky comment about how people can’t stay off of social media even for five days, but then I wondered “what is there to even spoil?”
It’s freaking Zelda, we all know the drill by now. I truly don’t know what is there to worry about.
And if you are wondering why Sony is killing physical games…
lol Nintendo are the only ones who get their games pirated, because they use antique hardware.
Also, I feel like they kinda deserve it for being global vexatious litigants and squashing free fan projects at every opportunity.
It’s not the “antiquity” of the hardware. It’s that the chipset was known and they forgot to lock the bootloader.
That’s what happens when your core manufacturing philosophy is “withered technology”. You get old tech people have figured out.
We’ll keep wondering cause the shift to digital clearly isn’t stopping piracy.
Like almost everything, it isn’t about stopping piracy entirely.
Physical copies get sold early by stores/cashiers that don’t care. Or they get outright pocketed/copied at the factories and warehouses. Which lead to the constant “This nintendo game leaked a week or a month or whatever early”. Which… less so after the lawsuits but it means emulators can be updated to support the games before they even hit shelves.
Digital only doesn’t entirely stop that. But it tends to lead more toward “an unknown fake influencer posted all the cutscenes of this game online a week early”.
These fuckers should just release digital first, and physical comes when it’s done being printed and distributed. This anxiety over “oh no a finished game got leaked early” is manufactured drama. If the game is done, then it doesn’t matter when it gets released, except for artificial marketing angst. Make a good game that players want, and it’ll be purchased. Eventually. It doesn’t have to all happen at exactly the predicted moment.
Is saving the game from an early leak worth getting rid of physical games? I hope not.
I might be unique in this but I’ll never “buy” a digital game. They’re impossible to resell and I can’t lend it to friends or my kids, they’d need my account or console. Plus I’ll have the physical game forever, digital games are only good as long as the servers are up.
I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in this, so if companies stop offering physical games then I’m not going to buy them. (I’ll just pirate). I’ve preordered Zelda from GameStop. I support the content I want more of, like Zelda games, and I’ll continue to buy each one. If I don’t, then they might not make more.
LOL at people worried about spoilers for a Zelda game.
nsw2u?
Good fuck Nintendo lol
