@@cragler I'd wager it's more like 30-40%. Much of the overworld music is new, along with other new songs for the sky and depths. The horse riding themes are the same, as well as all returning town themes, but Tarrey Town now has a night variation. The Hinox, Talus, and Molduga themes are unchanged, but all other combat themes are new. The majority of minigame themes are returning, as well as a few other miscellaneous songs like the regular dragon theme, although the Light Dragon theme is new. Otherwise, I believe every other song is brand new. That includes the dungeon themes, all cutscene and character themes, new boss themes, new location themes, and a handful of random other songs.

I wish they did both, like sell the soundtrack CDs separately and actually advertise them in the West. Probably not worth it for Nintendo, but one can dream. For the Soundtrack releases themselves they seem to often do limited collectors editions as well when it comes to Nintendo. The full soundtrack for Kirby and the Forgotten Land which was recently announced is limited to a few thousand copies, but I guess you can always get a Sound Selection. Another shame is when Soundtrack CDs are included in a collector's edition they are often limited to like two dozen tracks. But I guess including the full, often multi-disc soundtrack to a game likely adds "too much" value, not to say OSTs take years to come out anyway if they ever do.

@@Mimi.1001 From what I've been told, stuff like this as well as physical copies of games being exclusive to other countries on top of preorder bonuses were discontinued cause a majority of us in the USA somehow don't care enough about them. That's why Pokemon preorder bonuses, for example, went from cool stuff like a collectible coin and a unique stylus or figurine, to posters for some time, to Potions(200 of 'em), to pins that aren't even well designed and are just a PNG slapped on a piece of plastic that barely matches the shape.

I don't care enough for collector's editions in general since they usually come with a bunch of doo-dads I'm never going to use. If I want a figure or accessory or whatever, I'm just better off buying one separately.

I got the European limited edition for Breath of the Wild, which only came with the standard game, a soundtrack CD and the sword statue. It was only ~$25 extra, which is pretty good considering that its size is decently large and the amount of detail that can be seen. I don't really get limited edition games either, but if they're not much more than what I'd pay for the standard game and the add-ons look appealing enough to use as decor, then I don't mind purchasing them.

All the text is untranslated, but it has all the concept art, pre-compression rendered art, and even stuff from the first game.

I was lucky enough to get a pre-order for the BotW Master Edition. The night they announced the Master Edition, which if I remember correctly was the same night they did that whole big Switch reveal presentation, I had already rushed to get my Switch pre-order in at Best Buy. Then they announced the Master Edition and I decided I wasn't going to bed that night until pre-orders for that went up. They randomly went up at Best Buy and sold out instantly and I missed them. But then a short while later they went up on Gamestop and lasted just long enough for me to get one before they too were gone. Unfortunately, since Gamestop is Gamestop they didn't ship my Master Edition til release day so I didn't end up getting it til the following Monday. So that weekend of having a Switch but not having BotW yet was like torture. lol. But I love my Master Edition. I have the big beautiful box and the Master Sword statue displayed on my shelf and always will. It was well worth the $130 to me. By comparison the TotK collector's edition doesn't seem like quite as good of a deal but I still got it and still love it too. Plus it matches the BotW Master Edition quite well. On an interesting side note: I actually got laid off from my job just days after the Switch and BotW released. I was pretty bummed but at least it gave me the opportunity to completely immerse myself in BotW. After two months I'd 100% completed it. Even getting all 900 Korok seeds. And in a twist right out of a movie, almost right after I finished BotW my boss contacted me and gave me my same job back. So it's like I was destined to have a two month vacation just to play BotW. lol.

(8:13) I'll tell you what you're supposed to do with such a coin!! It's called a "challenge coin". Say you are at any given place on the planet, and you scream aloud you have the collectors edition, someone nearby says in a challenging tone, "oh yeah? Prove it!" [You slap out the coin from wallet, as you're being "challenged"] The same concept applies to PAX west (as you mentioned being similar to). The challenge coin goes way back, and is applicable to pretty much any "event", "title", or material thing, whereby the whole experience or thing, or title can be linked to a uniquely (difficult to replicate) coin - one that your neighbor that ALSO participated, can pull their coin out as well. One way of how I was taught this applies is in the event you DONT have the coin, but claim to have it, you are required to buy the person that HAS their coin after YOU'VE been challenged, a drink at the local bar. The earliest I recall is dad having such a coin proving as Army Ranger to any passerby. A Ranger goes to the bar, speaks about stories of being a Ranger, another Ranger walks up, pulls out their coin, and says to PROVE IT - tradition is to pull out the coin in response to the "challenge" and two Rangers in a bar (a rare thing to occur). If one of the Ranger's doesn't have the coin and yet touts about being one, will have to buy the challenger a beer, or drink. Rangers, supposedly have their coin on hand - always. If you hear anyone speak about being an Army Ranger, ask them to Prove it, and if its a Ranger from the 90s and 2000s, they'll likely have their coin.

If a collectors edition only has items like an art book, a soundtrack, and some mini prints that have no exclusive art on them... I won't even give it a second glance even if it's for a favorite game. The best collectors edition I own, hands down, is Octopath Traveler. It has a POP-UP BOOK. Also, I did manage to get the BOTW collectors edition and to this day I still use the Sheikah slate case.

If a special edition game doesn't include a proper A4 art book and a map of the game world, then it can't truly be considered a special edition.

I legitimately used the Sheikah Slate case from the BotW S.E. as my go-to Switch case for years and only stopped last year because I got a Satisfye grip and case (not sponsored). The Sheikah Slate case held up remarkably well and kept everything inside nice and safe.

Idk. Pins vs coin? Coin. Steel book vs map? Steel book. Case vs artbook? Case. Metal poster vs cd? Poster. I see benefits and bs on both sides, depends on what you like. To me, botw and totk are the best things on the switch bar none, I dont mind some representation to pick up a curious passer by, "why is that switch case bronze?" "What is that a metal poster of?" "Why does your room always smell like cocoa butter?" All in due time, amigo.

The Switch case that came with the BOTW one is like the best thing i've ever gotten in a "special edition" of a game. I STILL use mine

Collector's Editions all depend on how much I like the game, so it's a little annoying that I don't know until after I buy the game. I liked Breath of the Wild more than I expected and Tears of the Kingdom less than I expected.

I really want Scott to cover the SNES and the Genesis in a similar format to these kinds of videos he's doing recently. Only time will tell though.

Collectors Editions are just "consume products, don't ask questions, be happy about it"

I would watch a gaming talk show styled after this video.
