Astounding game. Amazing technical achievement.

Arguably the best Zelda game.

I wonder if I've still got this cart knocking around at home.

I never did complete this game.

BEEP BEEP THIS VEHICLE IS REVERSING BEEP BEEP

It's my personal view that the VC draws from a pool of finite resources, which is now running dry.

Barring a couple of iterations of mariokart and the early Final Fantasy games, there's not really much left out there now that would be of sufficent quality and/or interest to the public at large to justify watever it costs in polishing the code up to get it onto the VC is there?

IF THERE'S NO SUBSTANDARD RETRO GAME THIS WEEK I'M GOING TO WRITE A VERY STIFF LETTER TO NINTENDO ABOUT THEIR LIP SERVICE TO THE VC.

Alfred Chicken!

Classic off-the-wall platformer.

GET IN.

Let's just hope that all those 3d games are but a hideous memory..

Is Hannabi Japanese for 'overpriced overrated old toot bought by guillable Westermers'?

I've often wondered. Is 'hannabi' Japanese for 'charge guillable westerners more for a load of old toot'?

I'm almost tempted to get WW just because a swift google reveals so many uptight fanboys getting VERY UPSET INDEED over what looks like a silly FPS with the emphasis placed on fun rather than gravitas, Core Players and levels coloured mostly brown.

Online play?

Is it just me, or does anybody else have the suspiscion that these 'improved' controls will end up with the EU release being prced a few points higher?

DL'ed this today.

Excellent, I've got about 90 minute's play in(I've got a wife and kids, that's some serious time for me) and I'm just onto the fourth level.

Looks lovely, definite similarities with Lost Winds, but definitely tougher than LW. I don't care if it only takes me another 2-3 hours to finish, it's something I'll come back to like LW, Ico, Metal Gear Solid and, to a lesser extent, the God Of War games because the overall gameplay experience is so GOOD.

There's not enough in the world for this.

I think that TP lacks a lot in charm compared to a lot of the rest of the Zelda series.

Would LOVE to see a wii based 'toon link.

If only to see all the fanboy tears.

Tell me it's got online multiplayer and it could be SOLD to Badger Towers.

This STILL looks really gay.

Five days?

Dudes it's been lovely outside all weekend, go get some air, visit friends.

Blimey, 'Samus' looks like a drag queen.

Looks a bit homoerotic if you ask me.

Lovin' the music and sounds.

Proper old-skool that is.

I'm not normally one to jump on the 'this looks rubbish' bus based on oe screenshot, but this looks RUBBISH.

I bet Club We Want Hardcore loves it though.

This looks LOVELY.

Shades of the original Prince of Persia in the graphical stylings?

'TRY POSTING SOMETHING INTELIGENT'

I'm saying no more here.

Most games have stories, but it's typically a fairly generic one(can anyone name me an RPG where one of the characters doesn't achieve some sort of redemption in the face of world/universe threatening danger? How cliched is Metal Gear Solid?) and are relatively unsophisticated compared to most other media.
Nothing inherently wrong there, as in most cases the 'story' is only there to provide a reason for you to keep bashing the baddies in a slightly different coloured environments, at varying difficulty levels.
Adventure games, tend to do 'story' a lot better than pretty much any other games but they've fallen badly out of favour in the last ten years.

I LOVE all the fanboy whining after that article 'it's not fair, why do people who wash like video games as well now?'

Would it be overly cynical of me to suggest that perhaps the 'enhanced and improved control scheme' may result in the price being bumped up by a couple of hundred of points to 'cover costs'?

"It likely won't affect the games as Nintendo will want the new games to still work with the DS and DS Lite systems that many will continue to make use of.
Yeah but games on DSiWare undermine that."

Why?

A 'humourous' pastiche of a bad game does not make for a good game alone.

Whilst I'm not a fan of FPS I hope that this is a success as it might show other developers that you CAN do more with wiiware than just puzzlers.

I have to confess that I think this looks dreadful, a hideous mash of gaming cliches tied together with some tiresome wacky jokes and scenary that arbitrarily kills you?

Stufff that.
