There was a patent filed back in the Wii U days (September 2015) which also described a scroll wheel trigger. Looking back at it now, it seems very Switch-like, though people back then probably would have assumed it was a Wii U Gamepad 2. Maybe it was an old prototype for the Switch that they’ve converted into a Switch 2?

Here’s the patent, and here’s the linked PDF with some images.

I mean, there’s the land around Hyrule, and also the oceans as I was hinting in my comment. Yona is also apparently from another domain, which could perhaps a sea based one? They could expand the current Hyrule via the rivers and lakes as well as an even further restored Hyrule, perhaps expanding some of the towns and villages. As for story, I feel like they keep hinting at the Triforce without actually implementing it fully, so maybe that?

Deeper depths or higher sky also seems possible, though I don’t think they’d do that, as much as they feel prototypical to some degree. Seeing the original home of the Zonai would be cool though, if it’s still there extremely high up. Perhaps a proper dark world? I know the Depths are a pseudo-implementation of that, but even so.

My logic behind joining lemmy.world was that defederation may be an issue, current or future, therefore it made sense to join the one that for one has the most people, and for two is the least likely to be defederated or randomly defederate others.

Granted, I believe beehaw did in fact defederate .world, and I think it was not long after, so maybe I did choose poorly.

I was tempted to join feddit.uk, but I wasn’t sure if that would put the unnecessary identifier of “This guy’s probably British!” on me everywhere I go.

Can they keep with the same new formula?

Yes, absolutely.

Should they?

I’m on the fence about this. On the one hand, it’s a great formula, and many current Zelda fans have grown up with and have known little else (except maybe Skyward Sword HD). Nintendo has had great success with it, so I can’t imagine they’d depart from it soon, as much as attempting to predict Nintendo is a futile endeavour. On the other, I have my gripes with it, and I dearly miss the classic formula.

I think at the very least, they’re going to turn this into a trilogy within the same Hyrule. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but the oceans and Eventide Island seemed a lot more fleshed out this time around, so maybe they’ll do a Wind Waker type thing to be a counterpart like BotW is to Zelda 1 and TotK is to OoT/MM.

Based on some of the BotW concept art, it’s clear the team is capable of coming up with a lot of ideas. The “Modern” Zelda concept almost certainly inspired the Master Cycle DLC, and the “Hyrule Invasion” concept potentially also inspired the Zonai stuff. So I think they’ll come up with neat stuff regardless.

(Edit for Typos.)

I mean, the same was true with Reddit. The only difference here is that communities can have the exact same name so long as they’re on a different instance.

The hybrid design is probably the way they’re going to go. I’d love a higher spec one that isn’t though, even if it’s just a pipe dream. The ideal set-up for me personally would be:

• “New Switch Lite” - Undockable, permanently handheld, like the Switch Lite but with better hardware.

• “New Switch” - Dockable, again like the Switch, but better hardware.

• “New Switch Pro” - Undockable, permanently docked, better hardware than the New Switch.

New Switch obviously not the best name, but my creativity is bankrupt. At least it’s not Switch U.

Small caveat, they specified “releasing” rather than “announcing”. Otherwise yes, the 1st of April 2024 is supposedly the earliest we could see something released, assuming Nintendo didn’t lie to their investors or nothing got muddled up in translation.

I suppose this does leave room for an announcement pre-2024/4/1, but I wouldn’t count on it personally.

I’m in a similar boat. I’d argue Lemmy has had more success than the other platforms from the other times this has happened, but whether or not that equates to its longevity remains to be seen.

In truth, I’d rather have something different to Lemmy, as there’s various annoyances I’ve had and worries I have with this platform. At the same time, it’s my current best hope for a Reddit replacement, and it’s not so egregious as to be unusable.

I agree. I personally found the system was far too addictive, in the Cookie Clicker kind of way of “bigger number = happy”. I sometimes find myself missing it almost, only to remember that it’s worthless.

It also means I can more freely share my actual opinions, without that reflecting on some sort of global score if people generally dislike said opinion.

It’s a novel idea, I can certainly see the nice implications of it, but it also seems incredibly excessive. Would you really going around flagging every user you see on a trust system? Or even enough users for the system to be moderately effective? And then expect many other users to do the same?

I honestly don’t think I’d use it, blocking people is enough for me.

Honestly PrequelMemes is the largest subreddit I’d likely miss the most from Reddit. That and lotrmemes. It’s good to see it’s found a home here already!

Not that guy, but last year they got acquired by Branch, an analytics company. Android Police article about it here. The same company also acquired Sesame of Sesame Universal Search.

To clarify, I’m unaware if they’ve done anything suspicious since the acquistion, but potentially giving an analytics company launcher level access raised eyebrows for more than a few people, myself included.
