You know, I don't know if I like Link's new look (http://media.nintendo.com/mediaFiles/b080225c-960e-4a52-a2c6-d7db10bdaef0.mov).
Who am I kidding? My money's reserved already. ;)
-
Ooooh Yeaahh! :thepimp:
was any of that in game footage!?
-
Quite a bit, it looks like. High res textures and medium poly models it looks like to me.
And how did I forget to link the sequel to the GREATEST ACTION PLATFORMER EVER (http://media.nintendo.com/mediaFiles/e2769481-390b-4eb6-94ca-9cac27d1fe87.mov). Metroid meets Ico meets Halo, it looks like. :)
-
And still more Link love! (http://media.nintendo.com/mediaFiles/c3bdbf39-b51d-4eec-80a4-b473e71ea8da.mov) A DS game this time.
-
Yeah, I'll definately be getting a lot of use out of my gamecube this year. My favorite thing about the N64 Zeldas was the amazing amount of atmosphere they had in them, this looks like it will be the same :)
I wasn't so impressed with Nintendo's DS thingy, though. It looks to me like they just threw together every extra feature they could think of to make it look innovative and whatnot(touch screens, voice recognition, 2 screens, etc.), I'm not sure if they actually know what they're going to use all of it for :wtf:
-
It looks like a remake of the old Game and Watch units to me, Yoda. If it'll take GBA carts though, I could seriously consider going for it. The dual screens mean nothing to me, but that Zelda game, and the Metroid game definately interest me, and lets face it: if Metroid is there, so am I.
The big thing that gets me though is Metroid Prime 2. I really couldn't imagine a way to top Prime, and that Prime 2 video just blew me away completely. DEFINATELY a must have game.
If this keeps up, my PS2 might see some serious dust in the near future.
-
You know, I'm not a big fan of consoles, and certainly not of the Zelda series (not for any faults mind you, I just never played it), but this actually looks very cool.
edit: also, is it just me, or are game companies releasing their stuff earlier and earlier each year, to the point where all the big announcements pre-empt the actual show?
-
He still looks and sounds like a fairy :p
-
No, TINGLE looks like a Fairy. Link looks like an ELF. Big difference.

Blech, all your games are belong to Halo 2. Though the metroid one looks interesting...
-

Samus Aran > Master Chief
Metroid > Halo
These are two basic facts of life.

Hey Link actually looks like he could kill something. :D
-
Possibly his wrist if he doesn't get his other hand on the sword before he attacks anything ;)

actually
Halo is more or less a continuation of bungie's roots in 3d gaming.. look up the "marathon" series of games for the mac.. they had mjonir mark 3 suits and such in it.
and Metriod, although good and all, it started out as a platformer, not a FPS.
-
And Metroid is still not an FPS, despite what some people would tell you. Metroid is still an action platformer. I don't see what that has to do with anything though: I wasn't talking about game styles.
Metroid is a better, more interesting game universe than pretty much any other I've seen in a video game, and Samus Aran is my favorite one-woman-armor-suited-ass-whuppin-machine. No other rocks the block quite like Samus Aran. :D
As I've said before: A platform with Metroid is a must-buy on the strength of Metroid alone. The same can't be said of Halo.

your opinion, not mine.. i'll take your word for it tho, i played metroid fusion on an emulator, a very enjoyable platformer..
you're still comparing apples to oranges though..
-
Nope. I'm comparing games to games. :D
-
Hey it's not bad
-
Hmm... now I know the game will own, of course, but that doesn't change the fact that Link looks just plain gay with no trousers. Although he is a lot more faithful to the old-skool Zelda games.
But what I'm really worried about is the lack of 'wow'. This video has nothing groundbreaking in it. The sword fight between Link and Ganon looked just as polished, and that was, what, three years ago? Unless they've a majorly new combat and navigation system, which I doubt, I see how this fits in with Shigsy's philosophy on Zelda games...
-
That game is going to kick ASS, way more then wind waker did. OMG OMG OMG!!!
-
LOL Looks good, and I see Link's horse no longer looks like it should be called 'Dobbin' too ;)

Excepted for one thing: it's a platform game.
Plateform games suck. That's one of the Great Principles of Universe, and I'm pretty sure it was written on Moises tables of law thinguys.
-
That's okay, Venom. You're excused. You're french. We don't expect you to actually have an opinion worth anything. It's one of the Great Principles of the Universe, you see.
[this is intended as humor, in case that wasn't clear, Venom]
-
Looks like a nicer looking version of Ocarina of Time (the screen, that is). Meanwhile, back to A Link to the Past!
-
Everything looks better than Ocarina of Time, except Majora's Mask, which looks just as bad from what I can tell.
-
Personally, I didn't think that The Wind Waker compared, graphics-wise, to Ocarina.

Fail.
The Chief would kick Aran's ass. I dont care if she can turn into a ball and roll around like an idiot. The Chief doesnt **** around.
-
Boo-ya! New Zelda, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars... I don't see how things could get any better... :D

*maybe* if Cheif was in his tank, and samus was bolted to the wall, and the metroi mother giant beast thingy was sucking all her energy, but still cheif would probably get his ass whipped. Have u seen the hardware that comes standards on Samsus power suit?
-
One word. Cortana.
-
All Samus has to do is stand there and take the best Chief can throw at her, and when she gets tired of it, drop a super missile in his soon to be dead ass. Or perhaps a plasma beam. Or freeze him and just consider how bad she's going to hurt him, THEN whip his ass. ;)

So true, master cheif is a pussy. The hardest things he fights are guys that die to one shot in a "yellow" spot. WTF is that? Samus is just kickass.
-
Samus is too chicken to let biologics get on or near her she hasta shoot the damn things to get the item..
the chief just goes in and grabs it..
(Keyes neural chip)
:p

Oh ya I forgot, MC actually stuck his hand in something disgusting. No way!!! I wonder what would happen to the MC if he ever fell into lava lol, no wait I forgot, he'd be dead.

ah, here we go, anybody remember this kind of arguement?.. it's like the old "star trek vs Star wars" arguements..;)
anyway, like i said, apples to oranges, or, in this case.. Platformers to FPS's yes, there is a metroid prime and a sequel, but, the sequel doesn't look like anything revolutionary..
nintendo doesn't genuinely have a FPS pedigree like bungie has, yes, i am aware of the few FPS's for the nintendo consoles, but they weren't made by nintendo..
all that's said and done, at the end of the day, Metroid and halo are two completely different games, with different histories and followings..
so let's not get into a massive arguement about which is better.
'cause you've obviously never really played halo on the Xbox, nor have i played metroid on the 'cube.

I know, I'm not that dense.
As for Samus VS chief, wtf?
Compare what's comparable :p
Samus would get her ass kicked by so many japanese plantform shooter heroes that it's not even funny. The chief is a plain soldier, with some genetic upgrade. Whoa cool.
:nervous:
Sonic would own pacman any day.

Especially when it comes to our games. :D
/me wishes silently he had a decent gfx card. :sigh:
-
Yay! Link's not a pussy anymore! He looks like a cross with link and some badass street fighter character, which is EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDED!!!! And the shots of the horseback combat look SO COOL!!!!
Edit: Is this for the Cube!! I have a Cube! I laugh at all you Xbox and PS2 People HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA@! now you have to go and get CUBES!!! i love the 'cube because i have this pair of cargo pants where i can fit the cube in my pocket lol

I've never really been interested in Zelda, so you can laugh at me all you want :p

I never played any of 'em, either.;)

Nico, Sonic would own any game character in one of his worst days! :D

Oh, you found Sonic's next instalment name:
Sonic: Bad Hair day
:p

Actually, I've played both :p
I still think Samus would get owned.
I'm not saying I dont like Metroid. Its a decent game, but lets see her take on The Covenant, the Flood and Giulty Spark and its cronies, while still managing to blow up a ringworld at the same time. :p
-
She could do that, and without having to borrow someone else's vehicles to boot.
Remember: Samus has survived the destruction of how many planets? Has fought off more more dangerous alines in more giant alien hordes on more worlds than Master Chief ever heard of.
Lets put it this way: Samus' biggest, baddest enemy (the Metroids, in their various forms) would eat anything in Halo for dinner. And Samus whips their asses.
:D

yeah, but can Samus weild the ultimate anti sonova***** stick?... and, the chief can actually use his fists (and the weapon's buttstock) if need be ;)
-
and Link kicks MC and samus arsess
-
Samus wields small thermonuclear devices. Which she can stand in the middle of and survive. I think she's safe, Turnsky. As for the buttstock? well, hers is kinda built in. ;)
Now, Link, there's an interesting matchup. But anyone who has ever played SSBM knows that Link is a pansy little elf boy. Samus routinely hands him his own guts on a platter. ;)
-
I think Link has cast aside the pansy little elf boy for this evolution of the game.
-
This is just Soul Calibre Link. He fights with a butterfly net. He's a pansy. ;)

:D
One other thing about our good ole Master Chiif. He dies when he falls 100 damn feet, wtf? Samus could jump from a ledge half a mile down and act like she fell 2 feet. What weapons does MC have that could actually kill samus? What kind of things does MC fight, the same old grunts/elites over and over again. He never fights anything challenging... Samus on the other hand, has to kill metroids that are harder than hell, take on huge badass boss dudes that are like 100x her size.

[color=66ff00]I consider the zelda games to be consistantly excellent and a rewarding experience. The character's guise may not be imposing but he through the hands of the player is as pivotal a character as any other, in fact moreso than most.
Anyhow, I'm going with the book - cover analogy. I read the book and it is good. :nod:

Also Viewtiful Joe 2 is coming out, yes!

Yeah. I read the first three or four books and they were great. Then I tried the next one (Ocarina of Time) and I can't bring myself to read past chapter 3 becuase it bites.
Of course, Windwaker, I'm having trouble bringing myself to read past the third to last chapter. The tail end of this one is way to post-office/fedex/ups whatever you like to call it.
-
ive played Ocarina all the way through, but one week wasn't enough for Wind Waker. I liked the whole huge ocean thing, it was cool, but this one looks far cooler. That, and i love horses, and the horse is cool.
So I have Spoken
