That Was a Premium Nintendo Direct - Delayed Input with Kyle Bosman

[@MilKreegz]

The fact that you called the Tootsie Roll comeback is insane.

[@ishiggydiggy1410]

Pink hair bet? Now it makes sense why Kyle decided to pick beanies for this season of Delayed Input. Also, great video!

[@crazeeruler]

The timing on the ending was perfect

[@JoshRoweice]

Kyle you didn't cut out that you predicted you ride a weird dog, it's at 6 minutes 12 seconds of the top 10 trailers video. It's also insane how you predicted tootsie roll being used in a fortnite trailer. Hilarious episode. What are the lottery numbers this week?

[@ThrillingDuck]

Underrated comment. Amazing punchline.

[@massconnect9329]

Kyle's getting more exclusives than Geoff Keighly. Whether they're quality or not is in the eye of the beholder.

[@KyleBosman]

Wow that's crazy, I remembered cutting that line but never bothered to check if I actually did.

[@darrenmacqueen9884]

I just watched his top 10 trailers video today, and when he mentioned that dog my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe he got that right. I came to this video after to see him gloat and then was so confused when he said he cut that line.

[@logic_error]

Okay this might be my favorite DI episode so far. There were multiple edits that really got me. Thank you.

[@ryanklaus2970]

The wrap in with the old Nintendo Power was genius

[@NeoncloudFF]

Somebody at Epic definitely watched Delayed Input for the tootsie roll trailer to *actually* be a thing XD

I'm honestly surprised about the Tootsie Roll prediction. Was there a leak or something? Because if not, that was really impressive.

[@andrewnicon]

I think someone on the team saw Kyle's video and put in the legwork needed for a good payoff.

[@FranciscoJoseSierra]

Fun fact: here in Europe Tears of the Kingdom won't be the first Nintendo title to cost 70 €, for some strange reason Breath of the Wild and Smash Bros Ultimate have always been at 70 €, while the rest of games are at 60 €.

[@MaartenT]

Yes, and Sony upped the price to 70 € during the PS4 generation and some games even get an 80 € price now (for the PS5 version), like God Of War Ragnarök. I am actually somewhat surprised that the new Zelda game isn't 80 € in Europe, but I am not at all surprised that they are charging 70 $ for it. Edit: Also, if you want the game digitally, just use one of the vouchers and it's 50 € (not sure about the price in the US), as long as you want an other game and are ready to buy 2 vouchers for 100 €.

[@Jonathan-fw6ty]

Ya'll realise that 70€ includes a 20% VAT, while the US price doesn't, right? Remove the 20% tax from 70€ and convert to usd and it gives you $62. They're almost the same price yet you guys always whine on the internet... lol Meanwhile Canadians and Australians now pay $100+ for games, which converts to $80-$90 usd.

[@MaartenT]

@@Jonathan-fw6ty I know that VAT isn't included in the US and that it comes on top of the games in most states, but games were 60 € for the longest time in Europe, just like they were/are $60 in the US. Also, this was not meant to be whining about it, at least not from my side, just as info that Europe had a price jump last gen on Playstation (and again this gen for Sony published games) and that BotW and Super Smash already were more expensive than the other Nintendo published games at the beginning of the Switch era in Europe. It's the same thing as what people are now complaining about in the US, a more expensive game because it's Zelda. So I was not talking about the actual prices, but about the price jumps. But yes, I know video game prices in places like Canada and Australia are terrible, I honestly feel for the people there. Especially Australia has gotten terrible prices for years now as far as I'm aware. And I actually used to import from Canada sometimes years ago for games that didn't release over here, not sure how viable that still is.

[@Mermete8]

@@Jonathan-fw6ty What matters is the usual salaries of the given country. VAT or not, the same product can cost significantly more or less compared to an income. When would you stop buying games for 1 jungleboogies? When you have 15, 10 or just 5 jungleboogies to live for a whole month? People whine on the internet for a reason: entertainment is expensive, yet everyone wants to enjoy their life. it's rude to laugh at poor people

When I saw tootsie roll in the fortnite item shop I laughed pretty dang hard ggs kyle

I've wanted this from since the direct was announced

[@DarshUK1]

I used my Switch online Game Voucher thingy to pick up Tears of the Kingdom at a decent price 🎉

[@Davey_Cakes]

Kyle reminded me of just how different Nintendo's approach is from, say, Microsoft's when it comes to "Directs." I think some people viewed the Developer Direct as a bit indulgent and overproduced, while the Nintendo Direct was underproduced. Nintendo presentations have been more developer-focused in the past (especially with indies) but most of the time they're just railing off trailers and announcements. I agree that it would be cool to see Retro Studios actually show up with some insight into their game, but I guess once you open that door you have to go all-in and Nintendo realizes that their standard formula still works. That said, I do wish they'd do something about the voiceover guy.

[@azimulhoque1497]

I genuinely miss how silly directs used to be. Felt like that even when they were "struggling", they were still having fun. Directs have gotten a bit too clean. Give me a clip of Koizumi shaking ass. That'd be something unique.

[@Mermete8]

I'm the second neighbour to the left of Nintendo Direct Voiceover Guy's great grandmother. Please don't endanger Phil's job. He has 13 guppies to feed and a dog with slightly oversized eyes, Bulgie

[@JonCofer]

I'm glad Kyle finally gave a proper answer to that question from 1998's November Nintendo Power

[@yoshimasterleader]

In reality if Nintendo released Advanced 1+2 Reboot Camp on it's original release date it wouldn't be very controversial. Maybe a small handful of bored people would complain because they can, but I hope most people would be smart enough to not associate a bright cartoon war game with real war. Would releasing the game then would've be awkward? Yes and I'm sure there would be missed sales because of that.

[@jcvdchuck7915]

You’ve outdone yourself with this one. Just watched it for the third time.

[@daron9229]

I spent $70 for Street Fighter 2 Turbo back in 1993 - if we use the ultra conservative CPI inflation calculator, that's the equivalent of $145 today.

[@johnkon292]

we should be thankful that games are "only" 70 dollars. development costs are increasing and increasing since games are a thing and prices for consumer are still the same!

[@JohnGuyJohn]

I am a bit put out by Ganondorf's voice (if that's indeed meant to be Ganondorf's). We have a number of vocal utterances from Ganondorf over the years that have established a certain tone for him. It's possible they were all produced by Japanese actors which is why it's difficult for a Western actor to match.

[@arcadeperfectreviews2653]

Loosing Iwata and the retirement of Reggie HAS hurt the personality of Nintendo directs. It's just that they were both fun, funny guys.

[@Zamzummin]

Honestly, Yoshiaki Koizumi is pretty engaging. There's something particularly stale about Shinya Takahashi, they should get rid of him.

[@imouto4hire]

They should just hire Reggie to present the directs. I'm sure he'd be down for it, it would be a super easy gig.

[@thedapperdolphin1590]

Directs in the early 2010’s were so different than what we have today. Everything is corporatized now. At least Sakurai was always entertaining and personable when Smash was still being updated.’

Hindsight is 20/20. If BOTW didn't sell as well or wasn't as impossibly well-received, there's no way they'd feel confident enough to sell this at $70. A little jealous of all the people who preordered on Amazon when it was a normal price.

"It's not more appropriate to release this game now, but it is less controversial" I really appreciate Kyle's ability to succinctly pinpoint and highlight the ugly parts of the industry that companies want to just breeze over. Makes me feel a little less crazy to hear someone say this stuff out load.

[@twincherries6698]

The hell do you want them to do? Can it? Lol people like you are the people the rest of the internet mocks for being the reason this game was delayed at all. Do you think this is the only game to capitalize on war or make it in a fun presentable manner? What industry do you think we're in? You must live in the most absolute first world bubble if you think releasing a videogame about war a year later is something ugly. If you thought the tension about the war was going to last and be the same a year later then you really don't have much experience. Everybody saw this happening from a mile away and the only people I've seen surprised by this are the same ones that are put off by the concept of Advance Wars in the first place.

[@Mino-u1y]

​@@twincherries6698 I'll respond in order: I did not want, nor expect them to cancel the game. No, I obviously do not believe this is the only game to fictionalize war. I did not think that the tension around Ukraine to keep up for a prolonged period. I am not remotely surprised that they are releasing the game. You don't strike me as a person with genuine interest in other people's thoughts so I won't elaborate any further. Mock away.

I agree so much with Switch era Nintendo's marketing being largely charmless, though they're games are still good. It's clean and efficient and clearly it's working for them but damn do I miss how fun and wacky it was during the Wii U/3DS days. Iwata staring at a bunch of bananas, roasting themselves and their fans during the E3 Robot Chicken sketch, Iwata and Reggie having a DBZ fistfight to promote Smash Bros, the Star Fox puppet show...I get how tired people got of slower-paced presentations in the past, but I really don't mind cutting away from the trailer barrage for a minute to hear Eiji Aonuma talk about how they're challenging Zelda's conventions or having a fun segment where Miyamoto finds Pikmin in his shirt pocket or something.

In the UK, a physical copy of Tears of the Kingdom is looking to be around £45 from multiple retailers, whilst the eShop digital copy is now £59. A fifteen pound difference, the wrong way around, let's be honest. The hike of digital prices continues with zero real logic behind it compared to physical packaging, no loss of digital copy in the future, and keeping retailers and people in a job.
