    My GameStop had 300+ people. A guy cosplayed as link playing the violin and free pizza.

    Went to my local Gamestop for the midnight release. It was packed. Not a parking spot insight. Had to park at Lowes & walk. Glad Gamestop did a midnight launch brought me back to the good ol day's of pre-ordering videogames.

    Bro this is awesome. I love how supportive you were of other people getting their own copies. And you recording this reminded me of a PS2 launch day video I saw from the year 2000. I was born in 1997 so I never got to experience the PS2 launch day, so watching the video of it was so surreal. You recording this means in the future, someone born in 2020 or something can watch this in the same way. Or even, people just wanting to look back for nostalgia's sake.

    Even in my smaller town, there was a long line of people waiting - none of us had seen lines like this in years. I got the game plus the plaque and an amiibo, never saw the collector's edition. Been enjoying the game so far! BoTW is one of my fav games and this seems on track to join that list.

    Maaaan, I’m almost 38 years old, and I had NO idea GameStop is still doing midnight releases! I honestly thought that was a thing of the past, ie PS2, PS3 days… thanks for sharing, this alone takes me back as a kid growing up in the 90s anticipating “the next big thing” in gaming! Enjoy your play through of Tears… happy gaming!

    It was poppin at my local GameStop as well. It was refreshing, i havnt been to a midnight (in my case 9pm release) in a long time. So many cool people. No one knew each other but we were automatically friends. I love how video games brings people together.

    I can remember when they had the midnight Call of duty Black ops release at our local GameStop. The workers were cosplayed as the military army with painted faces ready for war. I thought that was really cool. I know it’s non related to Zelda tears of kingdom but I thought I’d share my GameStop release experience.

    Great video man, glad everyone had fun. Reminds me of going to the midnight launch of the PS2 back in the day. Unfortunately for every good thing GS does there's the equally bad thing they do. I couldn't make the midnight launch myself which meant there was no chance of me getting my pre order bonus because instead of being a true bonus it was literally while supplies lasted. I won't be pre ordering anything from Gamestop anytime soon.

  • @robstyle1080

    I did a midnight launch in the living room on the switch digital release and passed out 30 minutes later from to much excitement. Hahaha. The game is awesome so far. Also wish I had gone to the gamestop midnight release. I could have shaken hands with you the legend. Next time good sir. Keep it up and hope you are having a Blast.

    I went to the midnight release here in Stockton, Calif. It was actually released at 9:00 pm Thursday. I took the next day off work. There were about 120 people in line. It was wonderful. Felt like 15-20 years ago. A better time for vidya. I got home, brewed a pot of coffee, and played until 4:45 am. 10/10 launch experience. 10/10 game. This footage you captured is beautiful. It’ll be watched for years to come. Thank you.

I had to work last night and I went to check it out by my job during lunch break. I hope Tears of the Kingdom marks a revival for future midnight releases! Haven't gone to one in 8 years

    this is gonna be a hot take but I really wish the only way to get a game early would be physical at the store and doing this whole experience and if you buy the digital game it comes out a day late or something.
    I only experienced one midnight release and that was Gears of War 3 where my mom dropped me off and I waited there until I got the game and dipped. idk the environment and everyone talking about games and sometimes they buy food for the people or set up a lan tournament. it's just fun.
