New News for a New Year

Happy belated New Year!  I try to upload something at least once every two weeks but it may take a little longer this time since I'm working on three things at once.  I'm finishing up another texture pack update (more about that below if you're interested) while working on the Skyward Sword vs Breath of the Wild video and also a "sequel" to the motion control video based on the polarized responses it got.  

I also intend to review Resident Evil 2 when it releases at the end of the month, so if your decision to buy is dependent on the opinion of a small YouTube channel to be delivered weeks after the big outlets have already revealed their scores and reached a consensus, you're in luck!

Romani Ranch is the subject of the next texture update, and one of the things I wanted to do here is correct the text on the signs and boxes.  It's a small detail most people won't notice, but because the game recycled textures from Ocarina of Time these objects still say "Lon Lon" and "Kakariko" on them.  I've replaced the text with the characters for Romani.

"Welcome Kakariko Lane" becomes "Romani Ranch"

Majora's Mask 3D also corrected the text, but interestingly enough "uncorrected" the sign by mirroring a character at the end so that "bokujyou" (ranch) becomes "bokujyouro."  My Japanese isn't the best, but I don't think that makes sense.  I'm not a fan of its gameplay, but usually the textures in MM3D are great and this is weird to see.  

Another interesting detail is the origin of "Them," the alien creatures.  There doesn't seem to be any concept art for them, but they do seem to be based on the Flatwoods Monster, which is a great design and I think I have license to work more of it into the textures.  

This will be a busy month for me and I hope you like the results.  Thanks again for your support!
