Must be a good game. The better the Nintendo product, the more angry SWG is.

Sorry but I BUY good games, not dis them.

If we were up to Halo 16: Master Chief goes Grocery Shopping you would be rolling on the floor also.

Mmmm. That's funny. I can think of another game for the Playstation that is up to... what... 12? And I don't here anyone talk about how annoyed they are with that.

We get it. You don't like Nintendo.

Looked pretty cool. I like how they used the stylus for entering map destinations.

Most people who were annoyed gave up around 9.

Sorry, but zelda games, while familiar in format, will notably include new play mechanics in almost every instance, effectively making them fresh every time. You can whine about it all you like, if you hate it so much, why bother posting in this thread Helmet?

No no, he loves Nintendo. He owns more Nintendo stuff than you, just ask him. He even owns the Virtual Boy!

It just so happens that he sees absolutely nothing positive about any of the current or future projects of Nintendo, while it just so happens that Sony rules all.

It's the truth. Look at what he's been most angry about. The DS? Fastest selling handheld on the market. Nintendogs? Best selling hand held game of all time. Things are looking good for the new Zelda and the Revolution based on SWG's history of predictions.

Hawkeye_a · Mar 23, 2006, 09:32 PM

Oh a more positive note....the music in that new Zelda clip is friggin awesome.

He has no choice. Games which don't follow the XBox "Grit, Guns, and Girls" formula threaten his masculinity.

Hey SWG, why don't you claim Apple's going out of business? Then we can get up to 20% market share!

Phantom Hourglass looks frickin' sweet.

That is all.

It's not just with Nintendo either

I'm more interested in having SPORE on my DS!!

I am concuring right here on the internet.

That is all.

lavar78 · Mar 24, 2006, 05:32 PM

Excellent!

mdc · Mar 24, 2006, 07:58 PM

That game looks excellent. When the new DS arrives in the U.S I'll buy one and the new Mario and this game.

Any ideas on an approximate release date?

Visnaut · Mar 25, 2006, 01:27 AM

I'm sorry, but I can't imagine how anyone who actually played the original Legend of Zelda for SNES can conclude that this game is on par with it in terms of graphics. This is leaps and bounds better than Minish Cap, which already was marked improvement over Legend of Zelda.

And meelk is right, Zelda games always have a fun twist on them, which keeps them fresh, but also retains the formula that actually made the original Zelda games fun. That is what matters to me most. The fact that this game is essentially the same top-down Zelda, but in a 3D engine, is icing on the cake.

The DS is warming up to me more and more.

Same here. im not into 'portable gaming' by any measure. but the string of software titles coming out for this thing has me sold. in fact the whole reason im buying it is for the new Super Mario Brothers game.
