The whole idea behind the Zelda series is of exploration and having an open world. Sure, you can warp everywhere for convenience, but the game rewards you for walking or riding places by giving you heart pieces or bugs or other such things. So I'd have to say no to a more linear world. I don't, however, mind the idea of a different progression of the storyline. I can always expect a slight plot twist after three dungeons and then get the Master Sword. Twilight Princess got knocked in a few reviews because of this. So, basically, I wouldn't mind a few more twists and turns in the plot. I also wouldn't mind a little more mixing up of the missions - the escort mission and the saving of Colin in TP were on the right track, and I wouldn't be surprised to see group combat with larger numbers of enemies in a new Zelda game. Speaking of combat, I loved the unlocking of new sword skills (the Stalfos teacher dude was just awesome) and I would like to see combat in Zelda expanded a bit more. Wind Waker introduced ideas that TP expanded on, and I'd like to see combat evolve a bit more. Unfortunately, given Nintendo's ridiculous production cycles we probably won't see another Zelda game 'til the next console. Wow, this was a really long post. My bad.

I highly doubt that that article is true. The Brawl section was already proven to be fake. And I can't picture Nintendo doing an extremely dark, gritty, ultra-realistic Zelda.

Now let's hope that Nov. release date is absolutely false.

Once again, some phat stuff from zircon. Just what I expected. Tefnek, never heard your stuff before, but I think I'll check it out now. Sweet.

OH HELL YEAH Blizzard's back on track

I hope so as well, simply because ReACT is a far superior game as far as gameplay and presentation goes.

Apparently a ReACT patch release is imminent.

Fixed Also, I know what I'm doing for the next few nights

I'm sorry, but comparing Linkin Park to Radiohead is just wrong. Each album for Radiohead is an evolution, adding new layers to their musical themes. There was an album in between "The Bends" and "Kid A"; listening to both of them one after the other will seem disjointed, but listening to the three you will begin to see the progression of their style. In this way, Radiohead can avoid being repetitive without leaving their fan base behind. For Linkin Park, this new direction just ended up leaving the style that made them famous. And political lyrics have to be subtle in order to avoid being whiny. For example, American Idiot just pissed me off. And Linkin Park isn't exactly known for its lyrical depth. As for there being few good bands left, I think you need to listen to more music. I'm going to listen to the album, but I'm not expecting to be impressed.

I LOVE YOU

Yes, they do. But this thread is about Wii. In conclusion, I WANT PRIME 3

Touche. Still, I couldn't help but notice how blatantly obvious it looked on Metaknight's level in the trailer that only the background was moving. It looked pretty terrible. I mean, at least Final Destination looked like it had continuity.

Man, this is good. I honestly don't know why you're not charging for this.

Didn't they say the game was almost complete and they were just tweaking it? I should hope that won't take until '08. Jeez. Also, I was watching the Nintendo World trailer and I noticed again that the levels all look kind of like static platforms with moving backgrounds, which would be uber-lame. I'm hoping that we see some of the cool level design from Melee return, because so far I'm unimpressed. It's one of those things that could make or break the game.

HOLY SHIT Nice work, dude. You deserved it.

Kick. ass. I didn't even notice until I saw someone using my Dark Samus avatar. That's when it hit me. Time to go about finding a good avatar!

Apparently GGX2 Accent Core is coming out for Wii. It'll be interesting to try a fighting game with the Classic Controller (which I'm sure will be supported). I also got the top score on a Marvel vs Capcom machine at a local arcade using one quarter. Bam. Now if only I had enough money to get really good at MvC2...

I was hoping it would do something cool like open a secret passage. Oh well.

Nintendo fans might riot if Brawl isn't out by the end of summer. There has been a severe drought of good Wii games. If it wasn't for Zelda I would be severely disappointed by the current lineup.

I liked Impulse Prime, so I'm definitely getting this. The previews have me sold.

Yggdra Union needed a little love. LT: Not sharp enough, IMO, but I dunno how good they'd look with further sharpening. Seems like a delicate operation, but try tweaking 'em.

I have probably wasted over 6 hours of my life playing Nanaca Crash. No flash game will ever come close to this for me.

Steve Vai was there? Holy shit, how did I miss that?

I love Kojima even more now.
