Ex-Nintendo BOTW Director is working on Infinity Nikki?? - Trailer reaction & Breakdown.

[@DeeBeeGeek]

Pre-Register for Infinity Nikki here: bit.ly/IN_Deebeegeek Huge thank you to Infinity Nikki and Infold for sponsoring todays video.

[@chichichichichichiOwO]

Lore: in this world instead of fights and battles that result in blood, they fight with fashion. They actually have a reason for this and one part of the story showing what happens to people who actually spill blood (which results them being cursed). In most of the games it normally starts pretty light hearted but then as we trudge on .....people.die...literally...omg when my favorite character died, I stopped playing the chapters for awhile. They don't have random blood shed to add edge but because there's actual problems in the world and normally the world ending. I think even guys might think this is interesting.

[@nhyu7232]

I'm still haven't gotten over a certain someone's death in love Nikki :')

[@chichichichichichiOwO]

@nhyu7232 tbh I kinda stopped playing love nikki because of it, but I am trying to get back into it besides just logging in to get the rewards.

[@neidhardt8093]

Someone already made the correction that he wasn't the "main" director of BOTW, but his resume is still impressive. Including botw and the dlc (which he did direct) he's worked on a bunch of other Zelda games like Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, and also a couple Mario Kart games. He left Nintendo to work at this studio (Paper Games), so I wonder how exactly they linked up.

[@WillTheWise04]

I've been a longtime fan of the Nikki series, so it's so surreal and awesome at the same time to see more people talking about it!! This game is a huge step for the series, and I'm so excited for it! :D

[@IfYouSeekCaveman]

The term "director" gets used pretty loosely among the Zelda devs. Hidemaro Fujibayashi was the actual director of BotW with Daiki Iwamoto as his assistant director. Then beneath that there's like 10 sub-directors who each oversee a specific aspect of the game.

[@neidhardt8093]

Yea, the guy on this was the Game Designer for botw and the main director for the DLC, which is still very impressive. He's worked on a bunch of other Zelda games too. You definitely see the Zelda dna in Infinity Nikki

[@amano_s]

So, basically, he is just one of the Director's fingers.

[@corvacopia]

He was the main director for its Expansion Pass and has had significant roles in every main Zelda game since Wind Waker (except for Tears of the Kingdom, since by then he had left to work on this game, but he still gets thanked in the credits)

[@JacksonVoet]

@@amano_s A finger of one of Nintendo’s greats still has greater skill than the entirety of Blackrock right now.

[@coolorochi]

Even assuming if he's just a designer assistant, who did few Zelda games, He will still be very familiar with things, and maybe adds some of he's personal touches.

[@xthekeymakerx1594]

If anyone is interested, this game already has hours and hours of footage on KZbin albeit in Chinese. The detail on the clothes is pretty astonishing. Skimming through the footage I can't find any gatcha element unless it's not in the game yet. But what would you gatcha for? Clothes? That kinda competes with the core gameplay which seems to be all about getting material for clothes you unlock blueprints for by playing so idk.

[@chichichichichichiOwO]

In the original there's a LOT of clothes where even if you don't spend money for the gotcha you'll still have a lot so it might end up like that

[@mischarowe]

"gotcha" I had to stop and think for a second before realising you meant gatcha lol.

[@xthekeymakerx1594]

@mischarowe lol oh yeah, never really looked at the actual word. I feel like editing it now lol.

[@corvacopia]

There is a literal gacha machine we know of in game where you can get clothes, but that one only uses in game coins, nothing else has been revealed as of yet afaik

[@narudayo5053]

In the mobiles games, most of the money is spend on either becoming VIPs, buying special outfits or on buying in game gems that you can use to do more special events. But overall, it's just tempting but it's fine. I think the pvp that might make people want to spend money is the user Fashion competitions were you can see people have tons of cool outfit mix

[@gabbiness]

I've played Love Nikki for years, and seeing this game feels crazy! Looks really beautiful, and I hope the gameplay elements are good!

[@Kniffel101]

You shocked me there, at first I thought Hidemaro Fujibayashi left Nintendo! =O Tominaga-san directed BotW's DLC Expansion, and did was credited for "Game Design" in the main BotW. So you're stretching it a bit there, Dee! =P

[@Kniffel101]

Btw. Mr. Fujibayashi also directed The Minish Cap and the "Oracle" Zelda games. Just saying to get you interested in those! =)

[@JacksonVoet]

@@Kniffel101Oh man, I played Minish Cap on my Nintendo Switch Online, and I loved it!

[@bowlofrice9316]

Woah a Nikki sponsor! I’ve been a fan of the Nikki games for a while so it’s cool to see you cover it.

[@PilaCiu]

Looks like BoTW, Genshin and Xenoblade put together

[@enriquecotza]

It looks like the new game wuthering waves

[@K7TZ]

Looks like (insert weeb open world here)

[@neidhardt8093]

If you watch the IGN preview, you can see where the Zelda inspiration comes from. Mechanic wise it doesn't really have a lot in common with Genshin or Xenoblade, but the open world's design probably takes some inspiration from Xeno.

[@mischarowe]

@@enriquecotza WuWa looks like a mesh of other games anyway.

[@PilaCiu]

@@neidhardt8093 The HUD looks exactly like Genshin.

[@lauras.2314]

I can hear DeeBee singing "I want to ride mi bycicle" during the game, when he travels with the bike 😂

[@SeniorLady]

Thanks for sharing this trailer and your thoughts. I'd love to see your play of it because I'm more into the gameplay aspects, and we didn't really see much of that here.

[@Cmuse55]

After getting locked out of my Love Nikki accound and getting bored of Shining Nikki a while back Ive been craving Nikki content again and this game announcement made me happier than anything else. Ive always dreamed of the Nikki series to have a fun open world game and now that its happening, there's no way im missing out on it 🤩💖

[@Adam-ym2hv]

I do love the visuals and I'll definitely try it out. The style is not exactly my cup of tea, but if the gameplay and exploration aspects are good, then that's all that matters to me.

[@magnuzguerra]

One of the few games I found interesting in the last state of play.

[@georged7627]

As a Zelda fan big time and played all of the games this is giving me more of Mortal Phoenix Rising vibe 🙏🏽

[@Nickshreds890]

Infinity ♾ Nikki ! The soundtrack so far is fancy . I am a fan of the music . I like orchestral music as Final Fantasy games do that and they do it so well . I know Nier , Kingdom hearts and other Jrpgs do that as well . And Legend of Zelda too .

[@Nickshreds890]

And thank you to the company for sponsoring Deebeegeek! Thank you for the enthusiasm my dude :)

[@windenfalls]

And I was thinking why some landscape reminded me of BOTW

[@Prodbyrichwood]

yea look at the hud layout and the menu layout. it has modern nintendo written all over it

[@Linkiux]

i saw that, you can pet the animal???? game of the year 10/10 😎👍

[@RetroGamerIreland]

This looks very cool, the visuals are incredible and the trailer music had a bit of a Mario Odyssey vibe which I loved. I look forward to seeing more of this one!

[@zhongliidonglii]

I loved the game Love Nikki Dress Up Queen!!! I still play so im gonna drop thousands for this too

[@v-t-holmes]

im pleasantly surprised to see you talk about infinity nikki! I like your zelda and kingdom hearts playthroughs so i hope you end up playing it when it comes out because i'd love to watch your vods

[@TitanChaos]

It looks interesting. Definitely will give it a try when it comes out

[@duckerdoo]

3:40 Same here. Wether or not it'd be intentional though...

[@zuni4ful]

Did not expect Dee to go so deep into this game lol

[@rebeccalynn5740]

I'm so excited for this game! I love the Nikki series and to see it on a big console makes me SO HAPPY!!!!

Cant wait for this game!

[@elfsong713]

The trailer looked cute and kind of interesting. Let us know how the gameplay is.

[@mischarowe]

Them: "it's like BoTW" DeeBeeGeek: "I'm here!!" Love the reactions, btw. The game looks really cool.🤣❤ Edit: I'M CLICKING THE LINK BTW! I've never done that before. :)

[@DeeBeeGeek]

❤

[@Basthey]

I liked this trailer very much and some of the gameplay and music was also reminding me of Mario Odyssey.

[@Etzuka0]

This looks adorable. Wish I had a playstation. Going to have to get my brother to get it and then just always be at his 😅

[@camelliaharpdarkthrope6462]

You can play it on mobile and pc too!

[@iancampbell4225]

Yo DeeBeeGeek I’d bet you would LOVE Baldurs Gate 3 or persona

[@XenoWars]

This game had a switch trailer didnt it? in a past direct

[@mysticloverfairy1]

Not Switch but PS 5

[@Sn_A815]

Looks more xenoblade to me, I’m not really getting botw vibes at all aside from the gliding I guess

[@neidhardt8093]

Botw took a lot of inspiration from the design philosophy of Xenoblade (they're made by the same developer) but if you check out the IGN preview, you'll see the connections more clearly. They literally have dungeons and shrines in this.

[@Sn_A815]

@@neidhardt8093 Correct, I do know that monolithsoft helped in creation of botw, more specifically the map of hyrule. But yes, you are right about that.

[@linderofhyrule]

Hidemaro fujibayashi directed botw he did totk too. So no there is no botw ex director.

[@DeeBeeGeek]

Actually he was a game designer for BOTW’s base game and was Director for BOTW’s DLC so that’s pretty cool!

[@linderofhyrule]

@@DeeBeeGeek it's very cool. I'm excited to see what he comes up with. He did great on botw.

[@bored..3914]

Will it come to the current Nintendo Switch???? 👀

[@mysticloverfairy1]

I heard this game is not optimised for Switch , available devices will be PC, PS5 and mobile (android and iOS) but not Xbox or Switch

[@bored..3914]

@@mysticloverfairy1 but in the future?? I've seen games release in other console later on, so what's not to say it won't happen to people who have the Nintendo Switch and Xbox

Not my jam but I'd watch you stream it

[@liaxnoelle]

I 0% believe youre interested in this game.... but i am....

[@oh-noe]

that intro music...

[@Lightmagician60]

the hud in the early footage looks very Genshin impact i am concerned that is will lean to heavy into what i'd compare to "animal crossing mechanics" either way consider me slightly curious, but hesitant

[@scottfrix1980]

I thought this video was going to be about the new Zelda. DLC...

[@Fennek_Kaipii]

Bruh, you ever heard of that niche game called "Genshin Impact"?

[@surprisednt]

This is how Pokemon game should look.

[@mischarowe]

If wishes were horses.

[@js100serch]

So is it going to be a predatory gacha game?.

[@bellidrael7457]

I'm gonna be honest, you made a big deal out of saying like "You're gonna see this game and think, hmm, why does this look so familiar..." but it didn't look familiar to me at all, beyond having the generic Unreal graphics. It looks nothing like Breath of the Wild. I'd say nobody is talking about this game because it looks like a generic 'Made in Unreal' game but for girls, and games made for girls really don't get much publicity. This looks like an exploration based dress up simulator. Not really that interesting.

[@cedricdallaire3324]

why tho why another game just like it....genshin was already too much

[@dilwitchspahlin4761]

Because it prints money

[@AkaneTachibana-chii]

it may have the open world but it revolves more around fashion, this was from a series of fashion games like love nikki and shining nikki and this is the 5th game in the installment

[@mischarowe]

Because it sells. It might be old and overdone to you but MANY of us still love this style.

[@corvacopia]

It is literally a dressup game, it is not just like either of those

[@gokuazul3182]

It looks like Genshin or another generic Botw clone, with generic characters and different skins. probably with gacha system.

[@neidhardt8093]

This does not look or play like Genshin.
