There's some nice online images, I must say.

Right now, I just want to hear something from Nintendo about the cables that will be bundled... any word on if they're gonna put component cables in the bundle? Or no?

 

[Kipobe]

Don't particularly like this... but not really anything I can say, because the trailers alone kinda previewed a "T" taste. I especially don't like all the teeny-boppers coming online in different forums and saying things like 'yes, now I can finally like this game' Ugh.

Hope it doesn't mean they're trying to do too much with Zelda. Then again, I have to remember games like NBA Street(?) and NFS consistantly get T ratings.

Also, IGN reviewed the controller for Wii with Zelda, and they say it's a smashing success and fits the physical emotion of the player perfectly. If they want to act theatrical, it'll respond well... if they want to play nonchalant, it will again respond accordingly.

Also, Link will only be right-handed in the Wii version. He'll only be left-handed in the GCN version... so Link's sword hand might change now. GC's launch is 3 weeks after Wii, but it doesn't matter to me anymore, because I'm convinced that it's gonna be Wii-only for me.

Nintendo's new controller is, of course, a perfect fit for the fishing option in the game. Gamers merely hold down the Wii-mote's A button, pull the pointer back and then cast it forward as they would if they were really out there doing it. Wide, exaggerated gestures will work just fine, but players who would prefer minimal movements can choose simple flicks of the wrist to do the same thing. The Wii-mote is indiscriminate in the way that it processes motion. The controller rumbles to let players know that they've cast a line. Bigger and faster motions will cause the line to travel farther and vice versa.

Awesome

New gameplay footage. It's beautiful.

T means nothing anymore. Melee got a T and that didn't affect it financially.

It is meant to be a darker game, afterall.

A few days ago, GameStop called about my reservation for Twilight Princess. I had reserved it for Gamecube back in January when it was still expected to come out in the Summer. I called them back asking if I could switch my reservation over to the Wii version. They said they have Wii games able to be reserved, but Twilight Princess is not one of them. They said the soonest they'd know about when they'll take preorders is a day or 2 before.

 

[TrailerCues]

Wow they started Wii Game Preorders but not System Pre Orders ? Bastards They are probably waiting for all of the bundle crap info from Nintendo

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Actually, they've only started preorders for some games. The girl told me that they got a list of Wii games that they can take preorders on, but Twilight Princess was not on the list and they probably won't get any more info until sometime next week.

Yeah, the darkest in the entire Zelda series. Looks great!

 

[Benstamania]

You know, I'm glad we'll also have Phantom Hourglass on the DS to play. As much as I love "older" Zelda, I like "fun loving cartoon" Zelda as well. It will be nice to switch between the two.

Granted, I think every "console" Zelda should follow in TP's footsteps, and leave the cel-shaded one's on the DS.

Interesting. My house received a message from my local GameStop not too long ago and informed us that we could switch our TP pre-oder to the Wii version the next day.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

They probably said that when they called. Unfortunately my mom was on the phone, she didnt bother writing it down so she had absolutely no clue as to what the hell they were talking about.

I hope this doesnt become a regular thing with the Zelda franchise. While I get it with this game they were trying to for a dark, immerseful (is that a word?) and mature world, so Im ok with it here I guess. But E is the way to go with Zelda games. OoT was pretty mature in its look and Majora's Mask was pretty dark, so its not like it cant be done without a T rating. I consider Zelda to be like Chronicles of Narnia or something, its a deep and intricate thing but is still open to everyone

Meh. The Zelda franchise is big enough to have a variety of tones and atmosperes. I certainly hope future Zelda games do something different each time.

I was going to play with my left hand before, not because im left-handed, but because i care that much. Look like Nintendo took the tradition option right out my hand




haha, "out of my hand," i didnt even know i was being funny

 

[kainedamo]

"Tradition"? You're not serious, are you? You can't possibly be that much of a sad fanboy.

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

Its ok, we all can't understand the intricacies of humor.

 

[kainedamo]

Sarcasm can be hard to detect on the Internet.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I'll be playing it left handed (I'm a lefty)

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I was reading the GameStop forums and they said the game was mirrored since most people are righties. I have a feeling you'll have an option considering Miyamoto prefers his left hand.

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

I dont think its too big a deal either way. I mean, the game isnt supposed to have exact one-to-one matching of the slashes (like Red Steel is going to), whichever hand you play it with shouldnt matter.



Come to think of it, is the control stick add-on going to be geared for both right and left-handed people?
