I'll be the first to admit that that's the only fault I had with that game. But then again, they said they had to cut two dungeons out to get the game to meet it's release date. Maybe if they had delayed it just a bit more, we could have had an even bigger better game. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Sorry, had to put in a Seinfeld reference.

That is one of my top faves on WiiWare right now, lots of fun. Showed it to my friends, they were really interested in it. As for good games on Wii Ware, WAIT FOR CAVE STORY. I know I played the game on PC, but since I'm running Ubuntu Linux, I'm just gonna buy it, as a way of support, for the DLC, and just cause I'm too lazy to figure out how to get some of those games a going on Ubuntu. Yes, I know how to run WINE, just don't play much PC games. I really hope Majora's Mask comes to VC soon, I haven't played that game in years. WHEN IS PLOK! COMING?! OR RAYMAN 2?! Or CHUCK ROCK?! They need them on there!! And when is the possibility of Sega CD games coming on there? Surely if they do Turbo Graphics 16 CD games, they could do Sega CD games. And if there's any re releases I wanna see, it's Dreamcast games. As nice as it'd be on VC, not possible on the storage, but they could definitely release a few games on one Wii Disc or two, and I'd pony up the dough to play them. And have the option to play motion/standard controls in them. That is all.

I was beginning to worry this project was dead, but I'm thankfully proven wrong.

That's all I'll need, Goofy and Donald, AND a possibly androgynous male involved. Hopefully, they won't make Lara into an big busted girl like Tifa was originally. Honestly, what was going through the character designer's head when he drew Tifa, wait, why did I even ask?

I'm sure Nintendo listened to the criticism, and hopefully took it into account. That wasn't why I didn't finish the game, the ice dungeon had some stupid timed event, and I couldn't get past it because I had to walk some tight rope, so I just said screw it. I still like Phantom Hourglass though.

Square needs to MOVE ON. I'm so sick of Final Fantasy VII, I don't care if it was to appease the fanboys to release all that stuff relating/expanding to it. All they did was whore the dang game out. And I'd honestly like to call them on that. How can you possibly call that a new game when all it is is a remake? IF that's true. All I hope, is that Square allows Eidos to focus on making their content, and doesn't get too far involved. I don't mind Square's involvement, but I'd rather not see them try to make a Tomb Raider themselves. Legend is by far the best, Anniversary is just a remake, I'll admit, not necessary, but a polite nod to fans, and was a good game to boot. Underworld was just a bit too ambitious, good, but not great. But then again, if Square can make a brand new great game out of the Tomb Raider franchise, I'll gladly eat my words. All I can hope for is good things to come from this.

You're all wrong, everyone one of you, it'll be like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdJxx-aE08c&feature=related as one brilliant scientist said... "Roads? Where we going we don't need ROADS..."

If you look in the trailer, you can see Hyrule Castle coming around the hills. For some reason, I just love that. Seeing something small as I get closer to it, finally realizing how big it really is. Thanks for the agreement McVaffe.

EXACTLY. That's where I think alot of whiners chime in about all that. I honestly don't want them to keep a whole "Mature" realistic Zelda going all the time. They need to break free from that formula, shake things up like they did with Wind Waker. Otherwise it'll be like Twilight Princess, with a bunch of moments that were pretty much like Ocarina. Don't get me wrong, TP had A LOT of great cutscenes, and great new characters like Midna, and, uh, the chicks that ran the fishing/boat shooting game (I botched that for sure).

What's wrong with Cel Shaded Zelda? I think it was the best idea Nintendo had. Not only that, The Wind Waker had such a fresh new feel. And a good story to boot. Not every game has to look realistic. Not to mention that it if was like that on the DS, it wouldn't be that good. I'd actually prefer to have a Cel Shaded Zelda on console again. Thank you, anymore ownage tonight?

Eh, not every song needs to be metal, at least not all of them... Hey, different strokes for... I really don't need to finish that old saying...

What's wrong with them? If you don't mind me asking? Not trying to be a smart alike, just curious. Hmm, epic strip club eh? When I saw the topic, I thought it meant North Carolina. Went there last year, very artsy community. Real into the whole recycle natural food stuff (Hippie town in layman's terms).

I used to like that song, both of them. Until I finally snapped from hearing them the billionth time on the radio... That's exactly why I won't listen to local radio stations. Nothing against the stations personally, but it just gets grating hearing the same 10 songs in as little as 2 days time. Sorry, does that sound picky? Yeesh...

Will people EVER get over this? Honestly, what is the problem with trying to expand games into untapped regions (elderly people, women, etc.)? So what if they're simple games, or maybe not even games at all (Wii Fit), YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY THEM, ever think of that? THERE ARE GAMES FOR THE CORE CROWD, you have to look closer at the games there. Yes, there's craploads of shovel ware on the Wii, but what system doesn't have at least some? It's like games are some sort of "exclusive" club, or it's a geek's way of getting back at being snubbed by the preps/jocks. Every time I hear some gamer whine about casual games I groan. GAMES ARE A BUSINESS, AND WHAT DO BUSINESSES AIM TO DO? EXPAND AND MAKE MONEY. You can't expand something if you don't think outside the box. The hardcore market? Please, I've heard that for years. The "hardcore" market is more concerned about how adult a game is (to prove their maturity maybe?), rather than how good it actually is half the time. Granted, that's not all of the hardcore market's mindset, but if that's your excuse of not liking Nintendo's direction, get over it. Go play a PSP, PS3, or a 360. If Nintendo went and just made a system with high powered graphics and a bunch of frivolous yet cool features, they'd be dead last, and you know it. I hope Nintendo has something at E3 to shut this retarded, "It's cool to hate Nintendo" attitude up. Just as long as Cammy Dunaway doesn't act like a total loon again, maybe it's best she just doesn't talk to the E3 crowd... Yes, I went WAY off topic, but I had to vent. Had to. Sorry to offend if any...

Actually I can recall a few... Super Mario World, I was like 7. And the fight with Bowser, I'd get so scared, I had to have my dad beat it for me. Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2. King/Kaptain K. Rool was so difficult for an 8 year old's brain to figure out. Super Metroid. Ridley, need I say more? Super Mario RPG. Yaridovich. I remember never being leveled up enough to get through the fight easily. And it was always the hardest fight for me. But it was extremely rewarding to finally beat him each time I went through the game. Rayman. The Viking Opera Lady. It was hard enough getting to her in the art world, but that fight with her took FOREEEVER. Viewtiful Joe, the Devil Dog Boss, and fighting Captain Blue for the last time. Try doing that on Adults difficulty. Can't believe I attempted playing that game on V-Rated, that's just suicide, especially as Sylvia. There's so many more I could list, but I can't remember them. One a non-boss note, RAINBOW ROAD ON SUPER MARIO KART (SNES), can't remember how many times I came in 6th or LAST in that race.

Honestly, D. I mostly download from the source, because some of the games I've listened to I've never heard of, so I don't really have that warm fuzzy feeling I got from when I heard the original song. Most of the mixes are from games that I didn't grow up with, or didn't hear of. Back when I was like 6 or 7 is when I started playing Super Nintendo, and was a die hard Nintendo fan. I wouldn't play anything else, mostly because I didn't own anything else. But I grew out of that, thanks to the Sonic The Hedgehog comics, and finally getting a PC back in 98. And the Dreamcast. I still have to find one of those. God I love that system for some reason. And now, I am SOOOOOOOO off topic. Sorry....

You know, I read an article on IGN about Blu Ray vs. DVD as of right now, and honestly, I don't think I'll upgrade to it. Most of those features of going online for stuff seems a bit unnecessary, not too mention the load times for some Blu Ray players, and there's a good Toshiba DVD player that upscales your regular DVD's rather well. Getting back to the topic on hand, I think I'll just wait on buying that DSi, see what they'll have on DS Ware. Hate to pass up that deal at Gamestop, that's actually a pretty good deal to trade in your DS Lite for a good 70 bucks (I sound like such an ad). If they have old GB/GBA games to download, then that might be a good incentive, as long as they're not over-priced like they'll probably be. I just can't shake the feeling they're going to have some better handheld in another year or two, but oh well. Besides, I've gotta wait on buying that DSi to pay some bills, and my taxes... Sigh...

There's been rumor going round that some games aren't compatible with DSi for some reason. Metroid Prime Hunters crashes/locks up for some strange reason, and some developers are a bit skeptical on it. But don't quote me on that, most of it is rumor. THe more I've looked into it, and thought about it, I guess I'll wait. Especially for the inevitable DS 2 or whatever it'll be...

Okay, so I've had my DS lite for about a good two years if not more than that, and have had good enjoyment out of it for some time now (Just got Henry Hatsworth and Metal Slug 7 for like 25 bucks total). And after going to Gamestop and saw the trade in special, where if you trade in your DS Lite towards getting a DSi, you'd get $70 dollars store credit, and anything like the old DS or GBA SP, you'd get some cash for as well. I've researched on some of the features of the DSi, and they sound cool, but I'd like your guys opinion, on it. Would it be worth buying, or should I hold off until they come out with the inevitable super upgraded handheld? I don't know if I'd do much photo on it, maybe some listening to music, but I just don't know. And, are you guys going to pick one up as well?

Sephire, another great lecture. Although, this one was kind of confusing for me to follow (maybe I'm just stupid), but that's because this isn't something I've ever really followed or paid attention to. Why don't you show this, as well as the uncanny valley episode to people in the gaming industry or at GDC for that matter? Maybe they could learn from this. And I can't believe looking at my join date, that I've been here for five years... Where has the time gone?

I'd say Weezer's Green Album AND Maladriot. I vividly remember playing DK64 with the Green Album for some reason. I really liked that album, it's not their best, but a good album to come back with. Maladriot, I had a love hate relationship with. I disliked it at first, but after some time, I grew to like it (just like My Morning Jacket's "It Still Moves" album, at least with me). Weezer definitely was trying to do something a little more hard (KISS is one of River Cuomo's favorite bands), and it's actually a good album. Burndt Jamb was one of my favorites, besides Keep Fishing. I hated that a lot of people panned Maladriot, I still enjoy playing it every now and then. I would say Pinkerton is a "Lost" album, but it has gained such a huge cult following, and is widely regarded as Weezer's finest hour, that I don't think it'd count. Oh, can I add the Batman Forever CD? It had some good spots in it (U2, Offspring, The Flaming Lips).

Excellent. This reminded me so much of a the ska music I've heard from Suburban Legends or countless other excellent ska bands out there. Definitely on my infinite song list collection, way to go guys.

I wholeheartedly agree, I haven't played that game in years, last time I did was on N64.

Wow, I'm glad this wasn't one of those stupid ads people have been spamming on the boards lately...
