No. What kind of craziness is this? I like my games lengthy and the 4-5 year wait keeps the quality high, something I greatly enjoy. The games are fine as they are, get tried of the main story? Well then there are side quests and mini-games to kill time.
The length isn't nearly too long. Some of them go down in about 20 hours.
I don't care how they how they mess with Zelda game play wise as they always pull off something grand with the experiments. Like WW's graphics, MM's 3 days or SS's motion controls.
Paying for episodes of a Zelda game is a foolish and fool hardy idea. The exploration of the area, choosing where you want to explore and what you want to do as you go through side quests and mini-games. Is a core component of Zelda and the idea that some areas are going to be blocked needlessly, maybe never unlocked as they choose not to add them later on, do to time or change in plans.
It would be like starting the Kafei quest and by the last part you don't get the dungeon or only some of it finished. Or maybe one of the mini-games, take the bomb arrow game in TP gets cut out at some point, leaving you wondering why you cleared the river and what was coming up.
I don't think it's likely Nintendo would pull that kind of thing. But I would find it bitterly frustrating to have to wait another year to advance a few dungeons, a bit of story and a few side quests. Only to wait yet again for a game that could have came up as one impressive master piece instead of smaller rush jobs.
Part of Zelda's greatness comes from the time and attention that comes into it. Then getting it after exploring the previous one for a a few years and starting fresh into the next great adventure that will last you a long time just on the initial play through as you take the time you can give to see the game in it's entirety. Then after the beating the chance to come back into it, playing it a whole other way, being a 3 heart challenge or changing the way you collect items or explore and sometimes even taking on dungeons in different orders just to see how one could manage. Is something I like as the long package that I can lose myself in, a game series, that takes Quality over Quantity as it should.

Since I got Pushmo this past monday (Yes I should have got it sooner), I'll be at that. Kid Icarus: Uprising. DQMJ2. SSBB. I think a gamecube game I'm yet to pick or Dillon's Rolling Western.

Then I think since the Halo fans are about, I'll likely lose at Halo, reminding me why I don't play

A bit short notice... hmmm, have to chat with the community

Excellent, I gave up online back in January, aside from community play. Now that it is fixed, I'm back to the head of the pack in the races, excluding a few mess ups I caused and item storms. It is good to not have to worry about glitchers. Better yet I lost a race there due to items this time Such a nice patch.

@theblackdragon - I do believe we were to have a race. Is it still on?
PONIES PONIES PONIES

There is no way with my platforming skills I could do this.
Now they mentioned 6 but should 5.... I'm scared at the chance that there is something harder not shown in that video

If they come out with this quality and as often as Zelda, I'm all for it as I really enjoy this one.

I love the stylus controls, they are really well done and work fantastically.

I have wii ware but this sounds great

And I was 5 pieces from completion Oh, well, sorry find mii 2, puzzles await

Face Raiders to catch pokemon, count me in, 18 dollars for a pokedex, they are kidding right?

Likely KIU, Mario Kart 7, and who knows what else, I've already put two hours in Dragon Quest 8

@FlutterhsyGuy - Thank you. I'm just going to get the nes copy though, I got 4000 wii points at Christmas I need to spend

Now that is brilliant

Equinox is in there from 9. I have not touched joker 2 much, but I'll admit I'm interested

Great information, thank you for sharing Thomas

Interesting, not sure if I'll get it when it comes.

Well I'm shocked, well it narrows down my Tetris choices

It's been a wonderful year with my launch 3DS. Streetpass groups, ambassador program, swapnote, Mario Kart 7 communities and now Kid Icarus Uprising. So much stuff just built into it. I think my Gameboy Colour is no longer my favourite, memories don't top this system. Now, just waiting for my 3DS to blow out the candle, so I can start eating the cake.... any minute now.....

@ThomasBW84 - Ah, I got the multiplayer, well online shall be trickier then, thank you. Now to tell the other ponies

@ThomasBW84 - If you can't say its fine but are there communities?

Great, I've been planning on getting my copy for a while, but one question, any Mario Kart 7 like communities in it?

Sounds good, I can't wait for this one

Wow, I'm interested now and after my ambassador copy I'm interested in getting more, but I really need to beat it first

@sBOY - I might have gotten it now, I can check later aka tonight.

@sBOY - I'm on North America, it just hasn't reached my system yet

I have not even got the first part yet. Sounds great.

Good to see it is still coming

Europe finally gets cave story dsi, guess the waiting paid off for them, have fun.

So then 10am AST for me then, good time for me, lets me sleep a bit.
For anyone bad with time zones,
8am CST and 7am MST

Why not just go here?

Miss labelled shelf today.
2 dollar and under games are pretty expensive.

@James - I hope you succeed

Have fun guys.

wow, that was funny how sad it was

Excellent!

To epic. When does this come out?
Ah, no multiplayer but I'll live, I mostly play singleplayer anyways.

Lovely work, now that I can see it properly without my 3ds. Actually thought I was banned, logged out or something this morning when I had not noticed the avatar and log in stuff on the other side of the screen as the screen did not show it.
Oh love the new 404 screen

@DarkKirby - Some games still run at 60 frames per second with the 3d on

I looked before finishing the reading, green Lanturn trailer was it
disappointing, I'm not bad at platformers but I'm not good at them, I could use the help

@RevolverLink and @James, I must have found miss information at one point then.

Link's Awakening was developed by Flagship first wasn't it? Which makes these the second one's developed by a third party

I was hoping it was vc in Europe when I saw the review, which would mean I would have them soon, but I guess not.

Nice

I had little skill before, now I have none

@battLeToaD - Your welcome. Hope it goes your way.

@realar - Your welcome, I'm happy to see you checked back. Oh we have a forum of high scores going and the enemies will grow trickier and grow a few variations.

@son - I refer you to this forum, there is alot said about it here,
http://www.nintendolife.com/forums/3dsware/all_things_sakura_samurai

@realar - Do the update

I'm not sure the trade by streetpass would work well, however swaping a copy of your trainer and party to battle against I think would be a better plan. I love the idea of only needing two versions instead of the current need for 6 games and two or three generations. I think character customization and 3d pokemon characters would be nice. I can live without the proper voices. Then lastly, we got a real pure ground gym, now we need a real dark gym.

I'd love to see pokemon mature and evolve however, we might see a grey before we get that and I'd rather not see it. Just make gen. 6 and give up on the third one for each region.

It's fixed. Is it ever challenging.

I keep re-downloading to no avail, the one time I get a game and say down load later everything goes wrong but I will get this to work.
