yep.

[Raban]

This better not turn into another fucking list thread.
Too late

Anyways since trading my 3DS to demi all these sweet 3DS announcements have rolled right off of me, but this one stuck. I didn't want to accept it at first, but now I'm starting to feel the salt. Enough that I want to go buy a regular 3DS when I get off work today. Damn you, Nintendo.

Are there any deals going on right now? That Target deal came and went :'(

[Phoenix Dark]

Oracles>LA>Minish Cap>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Phantom Hourglass>>>>>>>>>Spirit Tracks>>>>>Metroid Prime 2

[Beezy]

You just had to fucking do it

[Himu]

Minish Cap was pretty good actually.

I think it is boring but whatever.

I told you. Huahuahuahua

Traded your XL to some gay for some shitty Vita, tho. Sorry!

[Raban]

I didn't want the XL anyways, but I seriously should have bit on that Target deal last month. I'm gonna take a bath on buying a new 3DS if I want one now I guess I'll just wait

[Himu]

Dude we told you!

[Raban]

It's not my fault! I had no idea Nintendo would stop sucking anytime soon! :'( Maybe they still suck and it's just a trick, yeah, that's what it is...

Nintendo always goes into panic mode when their hw bombs. In any case 3ds sw was already picking up last year. Now they're going all out. It took two years for DS to have a competent library. Actually the same is true for ANY system not named Dreamcast.

[DCharlieJP]

Potential to get burned here is quite high, so i'm setting my sights on this being "good, with an actual return to full top down glory" but i'm prepared for shit like "stupid 3D up-the/down-the screen jumping" "Stupid completely unnecessary other gimmick (shouting into the mic or something)" "horse shit story with lots of trailing about"

But hey - thumbs up Nintendo - i welcome this news.

[pilonv1]

Everything except for this looks good to me

[Bebpo]

I'm expecting quality on par with, like, Minish Cap.  If they can manage that, I'm good.

Going by the quality and talent behind, let see, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Skyward Sword I'd say that's a pretty freaking high bar to set.


Unless this is being outsourced to Capcom or someone of 2004-era Capcom talent, in which case, cool beans!

[Himu]

horse shit story with lots of trailing about describes pretty much every decent zelda game.

more worried about excessive handholding than getting the usual dumb story.

This is where I am too.

[AdmiralViscen]

I shook my head when I read the topic title, vomited when I saw the graphics, farted when I saw the drawing mechanic. Fuck Nintendo.

Drawing mechanic?  This?

[Positive Touch]

the worst thing about zelda isnt that they let the formula get stale, its that internet dirtbags dont even appreciate the classics that we got

I sold my 3DS to quietID on the cheap for some quick scratch.

[MCD]

meh, handheld Zelda.

wake me up when that wii u console gets a Zelda zzz

[etiolate]

Looks cool. Something about smashing giant happy faces with a mallet is instantly pleasing.

[MCD]

Because I can't skip good games. I could always sell it later.

Of course, this is all assuming the Wii U will live to see another Zelda.

[MCD]

Don't underestimate Panic Mode Nintendo.

[StealthFan]

Nintendo and their fans are so fucking desperate

[Bebpo]

meh, handheld Zelda.

wake me up when that wii u console gets a Zelda zzz

you know playing that would involve owning a wiiU right?

why would anyone do that

C'mon, you know everyone's going to buy one for Wonderful 101 & Bayonetta 2

And then put it in the closest right after those games

[Damian79]

the whole 2 people that care about those games.  I was gonna bitch about the fact that you omitted Monolithsoft's "X" but thanks to you i found a nice Nintendo channel called gamexplain.  Some interesting videos they have.  I cant wait for their analysis of this vid.

[magus]

Drawing mechanic?  This?
(Image removed from quote.)

you know i've been thinking,the only reason this shit happens is because they have to show you the COOL 3D EFFECT!!1!
wanna bet they put some sort of truth of lens item that makes you see item only when the 3D slider is turned on/off or some bullshit like that?

games should have been called "zelda and the vuvuzela of perspective"

you're too poor to make foolish bets about things you've got roughly no experience with, magoose.

well i was just saying i expect them to abuse 3D effect,that mallet thing that makes you jump a plan ahead seems to have been created for a similiar reason too

[demi]

Well, yeah. What were you expecting?

3D effects arent that bad if its used decently. Plain jane games like EO4 don't really apply it well so I leave it off.

[magus]

no i mean they are probably going to have some zelda tools that dick around with the 3D effect
anyway it was just a consideration about what i would expect

[magus]

nothing will require 3d.  Nintendo actually has a rule about that.

oh i had no idea

[brob]

well this looks safe as all fuck.

c'mon nintendo, do a zelda 2 again.

[Trent Dole]

Surprised you didn't say Majora's Mask.

[Don Flamenco]

[Damian79]

c'mon nintendo, do a zelda 2 again.

If it is any consolation they are gonna go back to Zelda 1 type dungeon setup and maybe dark souls type community in Zelda Wii U.

[Damian79]

Also Zelda 1 sucks, almost as much as Metroid 1 sucks.

Why does it suck?

[radioheadrule83]

It's aged horribly, but then, a lot of NES games have... LOZ is a lot more re-playable than the first Metroid is.
I think a lot of people probably stop on LOZ before they even get their first extra heart - its really good (for its' time) once you get over the initial hurdles

Music is stuck in my head to this day.

LTTP is my favourite game of all time, easily. I think they're going to have a job on their hands making a worthy sequel, but I am encouraged by their balls in doing so. Being of the generation where its predecessor was the hot shit, its like they're making it just for us! 

Imagining it being good, yet still unappreciated by all the ingrates who started with OOT in '98 makes my eyes all twitchy.

[Damian79]

I dunno.  Zelda 1 was designed with other people in mind out side the game.  I think the zeld aformula has gotten too stale for it s own good.  Zelda 1 is a good template to go back to imo.

[AdmiralViscen]

Zelda 1 holds up just fine with a couple of tips from a friend or guide (if you haven't played it). Better than Metroid for sure, and I'd say better than Zelda 2 also.

[brob]

I agree with mr. Grumpy McGrumpypants. Zelda 1 is a fun game, just suffers a little due to it's age. But in these days of Dark Souls being praised for it's obfuscation I don't really see any issues with it. Still vastly prefer it to Ocarina and it's ilk.

Zelda to me was always about the adventure and sense of wonderment,  I think established formulas really ruin it so it's difficult to enjoy more recent zelda games for me because all that's left to enjoy is the combat and the puzzles. I don't like Zelda combat and the puzzles, while well made, don't strike me as all that interesting or fun. I liked Wind Waker because it felt like it broke from the established Zelda series with it's incessant sailing and cutesy art. It still had the same combat and puzzles, but at least I got to sail around the various islands and talk to Tingle and the fancy french fish.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I don't want to sound like I'm trolling again but the art design in this is beyond atrocious. It's charmless plasticy NSMB approach.

[radioheadrule83]

Ehh the graphics are fine. Tower of Hera MK 2 looks like tower of hera, link looks like link... I'd be happier if it was crazy expressive like Wind Waker, but it looks nice enough to me, and runs really fast and fluid. The music sounds pretty good. I'm hoping we see other areas at E3

[magus]

if you decide to play zelda 1 go read where you can find the red ring,the two power up swords and the entrance to dungeon 8 (or whatever the hidden dungeon number is) otherwise you deal crappy damage,die in 2 hits against certain enemies and you'll probably say "fuck this shit" before ending the game

or you could just play link's awakening instead

[brob]

Link's Awakening is so tedious with it's two button handicap. Would welcome a remake of that if only to have a version that allowed for more buttons.

[Himu]

or you could just play link's awakening instead

I think you mean Link to the Past.

Why do people put LA over LTTP or the Oracles? Story? It ain't THAT good.

I don't know how miiverse works for virtual console, but if you could get vague hints from the community to guide you, yeah, it would play fine for a modern audience.  I don't know how many are willing to sit down and play Zelda 1 bare in 2013.

Metroid is different because I don't think it's really worth playing unless you're determined to see the series' roots.  Zelda 1 is its own experience.

mmm it's hard to describe why but i really like most of the nintendo stuff from the early gameboy period,i guess it's totaka music or whatever

It build on what LttP started.  Excellent game all-around.  I couldn't get into the Oracle games because they seemed like LA rehashes, though.

[Himu]

Built on what LttP started? Are you kidding me? LA's dungeon design pales compared to Link to the Past and the game is hampered by its hardware. I'm convinced LA is the most overrated Zelda title. At least OoT's accolades were deserved. Everything in LA was better done in LttP from dungeons to exploration to puzzles to sequence breaking to non linearity. Oh but you can jump in Link's Awakening!!!! Best 2d Zelda!!!!! Fucking whimsimists.

Fuck, I need to play Alundra already. I've wanted to since I saw the trailer on a demo disc way, way back.
