Europe VC releases - 23rd February - Ocarina of Time

The dark Lords of Nintendo Tower look favourably at the minions within the EU today as they grace them with one of the greatest games ever! (I don't mean Altered Beast you got that some time ago!) Yes that's right lowly peasants today you are invited to the realm of Sir Link of Zeldashire and play OCARINA OF TIME!

by Darren Calvert Thu 22nd Feb 2007

Here's the review:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

OK so some of you will already have this the Gamecube bonus disc or even the original N4 cart! Well we never said Nintendo weren't good at making you pay for the same thing several times! Just buy it OK?!

If that doesn't fill up your gaming time for the next week you can assume the role of Pitt, a warrior of Angel Land in a classic NES romp through ancient Greek lands:

Kid Icarus (NES)

Cool, Shame I have to go to work 9-5 but I'll download it when I get home. All we need now is Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

It's definately a excellent game no doubt, and it will sell well. However for me the virtual console is more about trying the gaming gems I missed as a kid (mainly because I just couldn't afford them), I doubt many people missed this game. Don't get me wrong I'll get this but I'm more excited in trying games I didn't complete years ago.

I own OoT in 3 versions allready so I'm not terribly excited. I also have Kid Icarus for NES. Both are excellent games though so if you didn't get a chance to play them I can definitely recommend both.

I agree with Thomas - I wanna play all the games that I couldn't get as a kid, I have Ocarina of Time on GameCube. It would have been nice if Super Metroid hurried up and came out.

I have never played this game before because I never owned an N64 / gamecube. And after playing Twilight Princess (and loving it) I am really looking forward to spending sometime this weekend playing this.
Virtual Console is not just for really old games that under twenties haven't played.
