Detective Pikachu

名探偵ピカチュウ? More like 迷探偵ピカチュウ!

I saw it yesterday with lisekatevans and I thought it was just okay.

( More within, also spoilers )

The Sonic trailer played before the movie, which caught me by surprise. It's delayed and it was widely panned, so I'm surprised they haven't pulled it. There was no overt mockery in the theatre, because lisekatevans and I were two of five people there, but she was taken aback by how awful it looked. She commented on the usage of "Gangster's Paradise" as the trailer song and I said it was the most Sonic-esque thing about it. I feel like at this point, that trailer is only further hurting marketing.

I was neutral on Detective Pikachu, but it's much better than...that

New Breath of the Wild game!

"Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sequel Reveal Trailer! (E3 Nintendo Direct)" (Watch on YouTube)

This is basically exactly what I was hoping for, that they'd use the Breath of the Wild engine and assets to make a new game, the same way they built Majora's Mask on top of Ocarina of Time.

Something buried under Hyrule Castle? Ganondorf's corpse? Demise? It's really just a teaser, but I'm so glad they're taking the route I hoped they would.

My Road of Zelda continues.

(This post is somewhat subdued, but I was half-tempted to just make the subject AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, if that's a hint at how excited I am)
