When i think about all the fair to middling results of the nintendo hype machine, like the whole "gba gc connectivity is the best thing since sliced bread!" matter, i wonder about how all this is gonna stack up in the end.


still, its zelda. and its link.


and link is lycanthropic. lycanthropy is cool. my eyes are on this game.

well, if we are picking flaws, i honestly think link is running like a girl....
and i feel ICO when i look at the dark portal.

A question, has anyone else got the June issue of EGM?
I'm looking at the eye symbol on the back of the cloak and im thinking Vaati........

cant wait for episode 3 is it?

Actually, I dont mind if they move it into next year. I like games that take their time sometimes.

But if they announce that the game jumps to Rev instead........

Another Square game that i prefered was Chrono Trigger. Not all that fond of Cross. But in trigger i liked the battles because almost always you could avoid fighting by moving around very visible monsters.


rash: you worried about TTP going rev too huh? i admit I have not been reading most of the specs on the Rev, but for it to jump to the next platform, the GC chip and the Rev chip have to be direct chipset descendents. Otherwise, it would be a "rebuild from scratch" scenario. I dont think its all that likely.

Chrono trigger must have been the first RPG i ever finished...... Ah.... good times...... I was so young then........

Ah. Paper Mario 2. Gotta love a paper plumber pompously parading around pummeling poor plunderers of precious stones..........

I'm tired. I try to be funny when i'm tired.

I guess everyone needs a healthy dose of zelda and we are all missing our fix since "The Minish Cap"

Best not to speculate. But cant help but speculate..... Well, if they breach the release date past next year's E3 then i would begin to worry. It would be bad form to try and put up a show for a star game aiming for the GC when they would obviously be geared to show off the more up to date Next-Gen console.

Well, in the meantime, im gonna try getting my group together to play Zelda 4 sword.

Uhm, it think they just mean that after this, Zelda , and even the Mario franchise, are gonna be revamped to a different formula instead of what has been done in the past......

I dont think its gonna be the LAST zelda game. Findings suggest that the following things have to happen first:

1) Nintendo announces that they will no longer be making Pokemon sequels. Satoru Iwata says "There is no point flogging this dead horse."
2) Shigeru Miyamoto renounces all worldly wants and retreats into seclusion to become an ascetic monk. Quoted saying "I just can't keep up with you young whippersnappers anymore. You and your tee vee games."
3) Mother 3 is finally announced with proper screenshots and promises more rabid crows and angry ladies than the previous installments.

Actually, it would be the 1st suggestion that would put them outta business. You know that most of nintendo's earnings comes from GBA sales of Pokemon and other Pokemon related paraphenalia?

I dunno about not playing Link. I think Miyamoto said a while back that the concept of Link representing your link between you and the game. In most of the Zelda games, Link was also the go-between for 2 or more different worlds. It would seem to destroy that concept if you play as Zelda. Then again, that might be what they seek out to do.

I actually think a lotta people wanna see Zelda prancing around Hyrule. especially in a skin tight outfit which is less outfit and more skin.

Im just not sure these are the people that should be playing nintendo games.

If memory serves me, there has been some sorta ocarina related thing in most of the later Zelda games. I don't think they are gonna abandon it now. Not in the last game before the game becomes "TOTALLY DIFFERENT"

Hmm. with motion sensors, maybe you use the remote movement to control position of a shield, or block with a sword........

Well, I dont like the idea of a FPV Zelda, but a lotta people were up in arms about a FPV Metroid at the beginning of the GC era. So i have to reserve judgement until they actually make a revolution zelda.

Maybe its gonna be an MMORPG. "The legend of Zelda: Four Thousand Sword Adventure."

uhm. you guy know when im kidding right?

I try my best.

Is it even possible to preorder? When the game is floating around a release date of April 2006? Any later and its gonna be a Revolution title already.

Meh. As long as the game comes out eventually. In the meantime, Im just happy I have time for the other unfinished games in my library.
