What's going on boys and girls what's up we're all a Austin John plays here and
[3]
today we're gonna be taking a look at the Link's Awakening limited edition
[7]
that was not in the United States oh so let me talk to you guys here in
[24]
the United States for Link's Awakening we did not get the option of getting the
[27]
steelbook and that whole thing instead we only got the dreamer Edition and the
[32]
dreamer Edition came with an art book and the game that was it as opposed to
[37]
Europe and Australia which also got their hands on a really nice art book
[41]
and a steelbook and was 75 quid and I reached out to everyone on Twitter and I
[48]
said hey guys does anyone live in Europe or Australia and willing to buy it and
[52]
send it to me and someone did shout out to you Michael Dawg 122 thank you so
[57]
much for helping me out from from down on day I've been a little m.i.a I have a
[62]
lot of life things happening and I'm working on that I also upgraded camera
[66]
to from being the POS video camera that it was to the same camera that I'm using
[71]
for my main camera isn't that right main camera you know it's right great and
[76]
Mike he droid kitty cat thanks Mike anytime I do one of these videos I mean
[84]
it's not the newest product out there but like with the let's go Pikachu and
[87]
let's go Eevee Nintendo switch bundle I feel like my core audience definitely
[92]
watches these videos and it's kind of a way for me to do a little little update
[96]
on what's going on in my life with you guys well first of all I mean the
[101]
process of really really trying to lose weight because oh boy I get winded going
[106]
up stairs and that's a problem now I don't know what was actual rapping from
[110]
EB Games and I don't know what Mike did but we have it here in tissue paper you
[115]
can kinda see through it a little bit not too much though
[121]
and here we go Link's Awakening limited edition mild fantasy violence rated PG I
[128]
didn't know that Australia uses parental guidance so this is going to be coming
[133]
with the game the steelbook and the art book which fantastic if we look at the
[139]
artwork on here there's like some really nice detailed work everywhere and also
[145]
the front is glossy as opposed to here which is sort of a oh hang on so this is
[153]
a glossy finish this is silk print and this is a spot UV print which is really
[160]
really nice work and also this is like a heavy silk for anyone in the printing
[165]
industry that's like that velvet silk software made in Japan art book made in
[169]
Germany steel book made in China we open up from the side and we can see the
[174]
books Wow couldn't do that again if I tried what's
[179]
very interesting is you will notice that there is no rating on this normally
[184]
would say PG or Peggy rating or the ESRB rating but there's no rating on the
[191]
front which is unique goes to show that it should not be sold separately and
[194]
this is the same exact cover art as the United States release which is
[198]
interesting there's a piece of cardboard here is the steelbook that looks like a
[206]
giant Gameboy it's cut the lights for the reflection here we go beautiful
[210]
Gameboy design it is indented where the a and B are as well as the d-pad that
[216]
shows up on camera a little bit and then there's a little crevice in between the
[220]
screen and the body which is really nice too the back the entire area where the
[227]
battery cover is along the middle area is ribbed but not on the outside which
[234]
is unique oh wow the screw holes have indents in them that's pretty awesome
[239]
and then the area where the actual Gameboy game is
[245]
it's a glossy finish so it feels differently then the rest of the
[249]
steelbook and this is so much attention to detail
[253]
this is more attention to detail than I've seen on any steelbook ever well yes
[258]
this deal book is the exact same size as a Nintendo switch case in comparison to
[263]
an original Gameboy it's actually not too far off which is a nice just happen
[270]
to be by chance and inside I'm assuming that there's gonna be nothing there's
[276]
nothing of oh the inside art is all images of the original Link's Awakening
[282]
on the Gameboy not even Link's Awakening DX so here you can see all of the
[289]
screenshots in here and ah that's beautiful attention to detail and inside
[296]
of here we just have the one game nice I like steel books and limited editions
[308]
that give you the original case and the steelbook case I think that's really
[312]
awesome let's take a look at the art book the opening page treats us to the
[316]
hand-drawn art of link the opening cutscene of him washing up on : and it
[321]
says one and we have the full moon cello only get images of link from links
[325]
original design and then how they took his original design and made it into the
[330]
cartoon painting link and also the various alternatives that they were
[336]
working with with more detail we get some beautiful sketches of Mei village
[340]
and the various buildings inside of it it seemed like what they did is they
[345]
drew full artwork for all the characters and then they dumb them down into the
[353]
pretty cartoonish and then dumbed it down more and more and more for example
[357]
here's Taran and Marin which you'll see they go from sort of full figures really
[362]
fleshed out also Taran kind of looks like the kid from up and then they dumb
[367]
them down and cartoon eyes them more and then they fit them in with the style we
[372]
could see that the witch was supposed to be a lot more detailed
[375]
and then got drawn into the same cartoon style it's really weird to see them
[379]
basically start with very detailed drawings and then go from the detailed
[384]
drawings to a much more basic cartoony design which goes to show that they
[389]
didn't settle on the art style immediately instead it was like a work
[392]
in progress until they finally like wrapped up on who they wanted like
[396]
here's Madame meow meow and she looks like something straight out of Beauty
[400]
and the Beast every level gives us artwork of the boss fights and high-rez
[405]
of the instruments the buyers the little devils oh it's really awesome to see
[410]
mock-ups of the instruments of the sirens and then them being brought into
[415]
their in-game designs now I know that here in America there was an option for
[420]
you to I think from like a third-party retailer buy Link's Awakening and the
[426]
steelbook but not the art book and definitely not the original box like
[430]
this is a really quality box I did not expect it to be this nice oh the rating
[436]
is actually printed on here that will never come off yay alright well guys I
[440]
just want to give you this update and show you what we here in the States
[445]
didn't get anything cool with also for Pokemon sword and shield we're not
[449]
