Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pre-order

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom now has a release date, and although the launch is still a few months off, we’ve started up a pre-order bonus guide. This post will also include information about the collector’s edition and more as that information is provided.

Nintendo doesn’t often do direct follow-ups with Zelda titles, but that’s what we’re seeing here since Tears of the Kingdom builds off of Breath of the Wild. However, it’s not just a simple rehash. We know that the skies will play an important part of the game and Link appears to have different types of powers through the use of his left arm.

No Place Like Home trailer

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line no touch controls

Previous Theatrhythm games allowed games to use touch controls, but Final Bar Line is all about buttons. This is in spite of the fact that Switch does have a touch screen. In a recent interview, series director Masanobu Suzui and producer Ichiro Hazama revealed that there was some consideration around supporting both methods, but it wasn’t meant to be.

Suzui, speaking with Dengeki Online, brought up one factor which is that Switch has a capacitance-type touchscreen while 3DS featured a pressure-type one. While there was talk about supporting button controls and touch controls for each song, he said that the team “already needed multiple copies of sheet music for each song to account for difficulty levels.”

Here’s our translation of the comments from Suzui and Hazama:
