Walmart just canceled Zelda Switch 2 preorders — the day before they were supposed to land on doorsteps. Not a delay email. A cancellation, hours before delivery, on the bundle people have been hunting for weeks.
Walmart's fix: a 48-hour reorder window for canceled orders, per Kotaku. That's it. That's the apology.
Meanwhile the people actually making the game sound like the only sane ones in the room. Nintendo's producer told Japan Today he's "nervous" about the remake hitting shelves. Zelda boss Eiji Aonuma told IGN that some of the younger devs on the team had never played the original — and he thinks that's a good thing. Fresh eyes beat nostalgia, I guess. Meanwhile The Verge says there's one week left to preorder, ten dollars off.
My take: the hardest boss in Ocarina of Time was never Ganondorf. It's the checkout page.
