    It looks like potentially a time saver, like more or less being asked "do you want more harvestables or do you want rare ones specifically?" and then getting a bunch dumped in your lap at once. Which could be balanced in opposition to tapping the "pickaxe" button 20 times to get 20 random ore, not exactly engaging either.

    Here's the stream.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdeOx6Yvq8Y

    The harvest part is first brought up at ~43 minutes with a screenshot of the fishing minigame (not shown later). There is a fishing bit in the clip, but it doesn't trigger the minigame? I'm not sure the exact mechanics here. There's a lock on the preview, so maybe it's not unlocked yet or there's some additional requirement.

    53 is the slingshot minigame and 54:20 is the mining minigame.

    Did they say it was every harvest or maybe it's like a critical harvest? I really don't have an interest in watching a Japanese stream of a game that I'll likely never actually see on US shelves lol.

    Still not watching it. For the sheer fact that I don't know Japanese and these streams are always a little weird.

    Baba is You got an update today on both Steam and Switch. Adds a separate section for cut and changed levels, and some new levels that even have some new mechanics. Also the level editor that has been in beta for awhile now. Godspeed to anyone who feels like having their brain absolutely destroyed once again.

    I almost died getting my copy of Brilliant diamond from the midnight release at gamestop.

    Of cringe that is.

    Five minutes before they started handing out games (They gave us all a card with a number for them to call and had the games pre-bagged and just called numbers for people to come up and grab them.)

    Some dude walked in and when the lady asked him if he needed a line number he goes and this is exact words "I don't need a number i'm a twitch streamer."

    He left after she gave him a number card with the word "Last" on it and he stormed off.

    I looked at the version exclusives, saw that Brilliant Diamond got literally all my old favorites (Scizor and Ttar are the best)...

    and then went and bought Shining Pearl anyways. I have approximately one billion perfect Scizor and Ttars bred up and sitting in literally every other pokemon game, so despite overall liking the Diamond exclusives more, I had to go with the version that has Misdreavus/Mismagius, the cool gen 4 ghost pokemon that I've never actually used in any other game.

    So now, because I don't have work tomorrow, I'm outside, in the middle of the night, playing pokemon while watching the moon slowly die. Should be fun!

    Some leaker has said the the Zelda 35 anniversary celebrations will continue at the games awards.

    Just say your sarcastic answer out loud, otherwise we're just going to have 10 pages of "continue? I didn't know it started " etc.

    Some news sites are trying to spin this into a major announcement about BOTW 2 or maybe other hd reissues.

    All I can confirm is that my heart is filled with filthy neutrality at the possibilities.

    Not particularly just the Zelda ones? Just the CD-I games in general?

    Nintendo will probably give us something at the Game Awards -- last year it was Sepiroth in Smash (Joker in Smash the year before that), and I remember one year there was the BotW DLC announcement.

    But if I remember right it's typically just one thing per year.

    No, Joker was 2 years before Sephiroth.

    I distinctly remember people being sure we'd see something at the next year's game awards for Smash, after Joker. And we didn't.

    Edit: We did! Bravely Default 2, published by Nintendo outside of Japan.

    I would love for the 3DS Zelda games to get the HD treatment. Second choice would be Wind Waker (or even better, a "Toon Link" collection with PH/ST). But my expectations are something I won't give a single shit about, like more AOC content, or Zelda outfits in Bayo3 or some other garbage.

    About the only re-release info I can imagine being excited for is Oracle games in the new LA engine. Everything else I personally already have ready access to in a decent enough format.

    Maaaaybe something with Minish Cap. But it would need to be more than a straight port as my GBA:SP is still trucking on.

    OK, and thank you for the opportunity: The first Zelda game in 4K but with no remastering or changes to the graphics. For $59.99. A Stadia exclusive.

    I bought 6180 the Moon because it’s an indie game that I love and it’s only $2 at the moment.

    As good as I’m sure it still is on the Switch, the best and most fully realized version of its gimmick will always be on the Wii U.

    Yeah honestly, even a collection of OoT 3D & MM 3D in HD resolutions would be pretty sweet. Those are already the best looking versions of those games. You through them over to someone like Grezzo or Tantalus or whatever and it's a fairly low-cost remaster (probably :3). (though I'd personally hope they fixed MM 3D to change back some of the stuff they ruined like Zora swimming)

    But yeah, Link Between Worlds would be nice to see on another platform. I know someone who loves Zelda games but doesn't have a 3DS who would love to actually be able to play it. Although I wonder if that one would be particularly hard to port while not looking jank due to the weird camera angle and stuff that game runs at (I'm just imagining the effect not carrying over properly when you up-res the models)

    It seems like a porch pirate swiped the package with my Zelda Game and Watch. Either that or was not really delivered. I let Play Asia know I did not receive it. I will see if I can get a refund.

    I have this gut feeling the Fed Ex guy did not deliver it. I usually don't have people stealing my stuff.
