Imagine standing on the edge of Hyrule, sword in hand, ready to dive into the epic realm of Zelda. Now picture Nintendo’s news app being the bridge to this fantasy land—except it’s a rickety, wobbling bridge that refuses to hold together. Yup, that was the scene when Nintendo decided to drop the release window for its live-action Zelda movie on their brand-new app, Nintendo Today!, which had been alive for only 24 hours. Talk about being thrown into the deep end!
Gamers everywhere were anticipating a trailer as hot as Fiery Gorons, but the app had other plans—like crashing harder than a Moblin with a broken leg. Instead of a solid viewing experience, users were greeted with buffering that made the Great Deku Tree look like a speed demon. Nintendo even had to resort to retro tech and tweet out a clip from the ever-reliable social media gods.
If this is how they plan to communicate important info—like, oh I don’t know, the juicy details about the Switch 2—let’s just hope they put the design in the hands of someone who can handle it. Maybe send in Link for some quality assurance?
