The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom definitely isn’t on the Wii U, though one player has shared their absolutely not suspicious copy of the game on Nintendo’s old console. Like Twilight Princess before it, Breath of the Wild was a multiplatform release, being available on both the ill fated Wii U, and the monumentally more successful Nintendo Switch. That’s because the game was designed for the Switch’s predecessor, technically speaking, even having the unique feature of being able to look at the map and other things on the gamepad. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, on the other…

Roots of Pacha, a charming prehistoric farming RPG, has been removed from Steam due to a dispute between developer Soda Den and publisher Crytivo. Both have released statements holding the other party accountable, with the developer stating it attempted to resolve things “amicably” prior to its publisher’s escalation, and Crytivo accusing Soda Den of trying to back out of its contract. Image 1 of 2 (Image credit: Soda Den) Image 2 of 2 (Image credit: Crytivo) Developer Soda Den was first out the gate, stating that it had “worked hard to amicably resolve [its] dispute with Crytivo internally.” The developer…
It seems that some goddess statues from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are cropping up in various places across Brazil. Marketing is a complicated beast, as different regions will need to think of different ways to appeal to their target demographics. Most of the time that just involves funny or emotional advertisements, good gameplay trailers, that kind of thing. But it seems that whoever is running things over in Brazil for Nintendo, they’re doing something a bit different, as people have been discovering real life versions of the goddess statues you find around Zelda: Tears of…

With Link’s new abilities, players are putting the Hylian to work in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom by making some ridiculous and wonderful creations. Gameplay spoilers ahead for this one. It became clear quite quickly upon seeing Link’s new powers that players would quickly put them to good, or even bad, use. Ultrahand lets him combine almost anything to make almost anything, and Fuse allows him to combine weapons and shields with everything you can think of too. So of course, players have put Link to work, and they’ve made some pretty wonderful (and not so…
While the release of Nintendo’s follow up to Breath of the Wild has been exciting enough on its own, its saga in the emulation and modding scene has been an absolute rollercoaster. On May 13, one day after Tears of the Kingdom’s official launch, the developers of Switch emulator Yuzu announced that the game is fully playable, with native Switch-level performance attainable on “most” modern hardware, with resolutions in excess of its original 900p accessible with no external hacks required—just the emulator and your own legally-dumped copy of TotK. Hey! Listen! Wait, wrong game📣 Attention All 📣🔥 Tears of the…
One of the best moments from the original animated Zelda series is possible in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom thanks to the power of Fuse. Some gameplay spoilers ahead! While it was before my time, the 1989 Legend of Zelda animated series is perhaps one of the best pieces of television ever made. Is it technically good? No! But Link being unbelievably thirsty for Zelda, constantly attempting to get a smooch from the iconic princess is hilarious every time, especially when someone decided to make this his catchphrase. The thing about the show, though, is that…
As if the rite of passage for any game that has some flexible gameplay systems, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players are making Link do some obscene things. A triple whammy of gameplay/ light story/ NSFW warnings for this one. If you’ve read the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Creating a Champion book, there’s a good chance you’ve seen that drawing of a completely bare Link that shows he’s missing a particular kind of weapon. Why the developers decided to share this with us, I’ll never know, but obviously Tears of the Kingdom…
Decision-making titles have continuously expanded in recent years, diving into different territories with RPG elements and QTE intervals. The same change can be seen with Harmony: The Fall of Reverie, as it brings the concept of logic into the classic pathway system of choice-based games. Instead of unlocking various scenarios blindly, you’ll get a glimpse of the paths beforehand with the valuable gift of foresight. Considering my experience with these games, it’s refreshing to see something new added to the beloved genre, where players can plan out their actions and possibly get the ending they most desire. At the story’s…
