Nintendo Switch Rumor Roundup – Zelda Delayed & Release Price https://www.gamersheroes.com/gaming-news/nintendo-switch-rumor-roundup/ https://www.gamersheroes.com/gaming-news/nintendo-switch-rumor-roundup/#respond Wed, 16 Nov 2016 06:18:14 +0000 https://www.gamersheroes.com/?p=52943 I don't usually report Rumors but there were two new rumors this week worth speculating.

Nintendo Switch Rumor Roundup - Zelda Delayed & Release Price
I don’t usually report Rumors but there were two new rumors this week worth speculating. Seriously they both are nuts.
[line style=’inset’ top=’10’ bottom=’10’ width=’100%’ height=’3′ color=’#00AEEF’]

First off we have a rumor from the much respected Lara Dale over at LetsPlayVideoGames. The report details a rumored release price for two different SKUs (stock keeping unit) of the Nintendo Switch priced at £199.99 and £249.99.

Additionally Switch Pro Controllers will be priced at £39.99. No USD prices were rumored but basic conversion puts the prices at around $249 and $299 respectively.

In the rumor from UK retailer GAME, the two SKUs were described as a “basic SKU” and a “SKU featuring more internal storage and a packed in game.” For comparison the PS4 is priced at £249.99 or $299 while the Xbox One is £213.85 and $253.99 via Amazom this holiday.

Nintendo Switch is the latest planned release from big N, featuring a handheld video gamepad, playable both on the go or in a dock at home with a gamepad. An announcement video debuted back in October with multiple games played including Skyrim, Zelda, Mario, Splatoon and a NBA game.

Of course we wont know any more Switch news until Nintendo has their announced event in Tokyo this upcoming January 12. Until then we will just have to watch this video and speculate.

Another bit of speculation rumored this week comes from another reliable reporter. Coming from arcadegirl64, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will no longer be released alongside the Nintendo Switch this March.

Instead “four-to-six months of testing” will be needed once localization is completed. This would put a new time-frame for release about year from now or next fall.

To put it in perspective, The Legend of Zelda is reportedly the biggest game Nintendo has ever created. Extrapolating math from the E3 reveal which revealed the map size to be larger than 300 sq miles.

For comparison that is over 12 times the size of Twilight Princess or over nine times the size of Skyrim. Nintendo has been keen to make sure that their upcoming Zelda title will be perfect and have delayed it as such multiple times.

Originally announced in 2013, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will release on Wii U and Nintendo Switch sometime next year. For now you can expect me to cover every single thread of rumor, from here to release. For now, check out these gifs I made.

Latest Zelda Footage Shows Link Shooting Everything

Is anyone else losing their mind with onlsaught of coverage for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Yeah another video check it out.
[line style=’inset’ top=’10’ bottom=’10’ width=’100%’ height=’3′ color=’#00AEEF’]

One of their latest attempts to destroy my sanity comes in the form of Link showin off, shooting ice, fire and bomb arrows against legitimately defenseless Bokoblins. Its not even fair at this point, not at all.

Originally teased on twitter @NintendoEurope, the video shows off Link making mince meat out the bad guys with pinpoint precision. The controls look so friggin smooth I can’t even. I just can’t. Somebody put me out of my misery please.

Unfortunately we have to wait till March 2017 to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild but you can check out the latest video here or below. A Nintendo 3DS Direct was announced for tomorrow Thursday, Sept. 1 but obviously will not have any news regarding the Wii U and NX console exclusive. Look for more news here daily on all things Nintendo or Hyrule related.

Super Smash Bros Perfect Pivot – Gamers Heroes

Super Smash Bros. fans: Do you miss wavedashing? After its removal in Super Smash Bros Brawl, the spacing technique makes its return (kind of) in Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS.

Dubbed “perfect pivoting” by fans, this move closely matches that of wavedashing. By flicking the analog stick just right, characters can hold some momentum and slide across the stage. This allows players to punish players out of shields, trapping opponents trying to get back on the ground from above, pivot into back air moves, and more. This might not seem like much, but the extra few seconds perfect pivoting provides could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

The following video by My Smash Corner goes into this technique in detail:
