What is it about Zelda?

They must have made a huge jump from 1.7.3 to 1.7.4 if that's the case. Zelda was a mess in the prior build.

Yes, they fixed a lot of issues. It's not perfect, but the only real issue so far is the occasional stutter.

There are other issues they say, but it's supposed to be quite playable.

Certainly feels that way to me

Wait what? New Zelda came on some emulator and Nintendo didn't shut it down already?

It's not illegal.

Emulators themselves arent piracy. Because you can buy the game and play it on the emulator on pc. That's perfectly legal. What is piracy is getting the game for free or you pay for the privilege to download for free and play it on the emulator. THAT is what Nintendo should fight.

Eh? What piracy? I'm talking about Nintendo business practices where nothing can live outside of their precious garbage handhelds:

indie game hosting site Game Jolt had to pull 562 fan-made games after receiving legal notices from Nintendo.

Hopefully now someone at least can understand my reaction to some Nintendo person being dead a couple of years back. If not, well, not that I care much.

I'm totally surprised Nintendo did not shut down the emulator project. Whatever OS is in their handheld, it's still their "intellectual property". And if you want to play their games, then you must buy the trash hardware or face consequences at court. Buying a game is not enough, Nintendo doesn't care for games. All they care about is that you buy their electronics garbage!

Because they not actually using that OS in it, they are emulating the OS, they write it themselves. The difference between that and the previous 2 links you posted is that those games have ripped sprite art etc. from Nintendo games which is stealing intellectual property. There is some guy that remade the original pokemon from scratch in minecraft that you play on this virtual gameboy, AFAIK that has no cease and desist order nor has it been shut down.

Blizzard is far worse in this regard, they will shut you down if you use art RESEMBLING their characters and you use their names from blizzard even if you made them from scratch. Which is why all the names had to be changed in Dota 2. So Nintendo is definitely no the worst here.

Don't think I have any love for Blizzard.
But they don't "roleplay" quack doctors with a cure for cancer that's nothing but a spoiled water.

What does that even mean? Are you saying Nintendo does that? If so how?

Was your childhood mainly outdoors getting dirty?

Mine was. I don't have any allergy (except on horsearmor, p2w and such stuff). Also gluten - what's that?

Nintendo destroyed millions of children. And got paid for it.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a tobacco addict and I passionately defend tobacco industry. I expect to see the same passion from Nintendo audience, the difference is smoking slowly killing me is no secret.

That is the responsibility of the parent not Nintendo. If a parent feels their kids should not play videogames for whatever reason, the parents should enforce that.

Playing videogames have negative and positive impact on kids in the short term and long term, just like anything else except toxic drugs like tobacco. I dont see how you can compare the two really.

Looks like most of the effects are positive.

I'm not talking about videogames. I also avoided mentioning smoking pot, THC is not cancerogenic.

Then I am confused. What is the big evil they did exactly? You have to explain exactly because this candy trail that you are sending me on doesnt seem to help the argument.

The big evil was selling a health hazard garbage, but is considered a savior of parenthood.

So you are saying that Nintendo as selling hardware that directly caused health issues? I know of one like the 3ds giving people and kids headaches from their 3d vision display, but that can be turned off. I dont know any others. You have to be clearer.

After playing it a little while, I'm not particularly impressed.

Did you get out of the "training area" AKA the plateau? If you did I guess the game isnt for you. After the training area, there is far more options for you in how you explore the world.

EDIT: Also you probably need a Xbox 360 controller to play it properly.

I'm using an Xbox One controller

No, I'm still in the Great Plateau. I just don't really seem to find anything particularly interesting.

Also, I'm not a big fan of the Portal-like puzzles in the shrines. I prefer interesting exploration to jumpy/gamey puzzles.

Who'd have thought, puzzles are not his thing…
