Great article, Kid_A. This is truly one of the best Zelda games out there, in my opinion. I still need to go back and finish my recent 100% second play-through, though...
Great subtle references, too, though the "Don... key Kong" line made me groan. I was kind of expecting the Kongs to be riding around in a gray vehicle (perhaps a Hummer) with "RAMBI" on the license plate, though...
Sweet-looking DSi's, but I'm just fine with my Lite until I can get my hands on a 3DS...
@Kirk: No, they don't, because if they had Zekrom for Black and Reshiram for White, then they'd hardly be visible against the respective backgrounds, now would they?
Thanks for the reply, Zach. I should have my entry submitted by today...
After much procrastinating, I have finally submitted my entry. If I don't win, eh, I had fun coming up with the design. Good luck to Dr. Chien at the upcoming Kong-Off...
Rare's a shell of its former self, Nintendo doesn't need them. Why try to buy a long-faltering studio when they have the equivalent of it back in its heyday (Retro)?
I can't believe this article failed to mention Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, though, which are two of Rare's best games. Also, the last Retro game I played, post-Nintendo, was the Banjo-Kazooie interquel on the GBA, which was good, but way too short...
Happy 25th, Zelda series! Though I've never played any of the 2D outings, I greatly enjoy the 3D ones, except Spirit Tracks (which I've yet to play, unfortunately). I can't wait until Skyward Sword, and I'll definitely look into playing some of the 2D iterations sometime...

"NEStalgia"... I get it!
Looks great, though...
Re: Max & the Magic Marker Relaunching on Wii and DS
Now I can finally get a chance to play this, but I'll wait for it to drop in price a few times before purchasing it...

Way to think outside the "?" Block, guys. I'd totally go if I could...
Re: Super Mario 3DS Combines Galaxy and Mario 64, Out This Year
Like the 80's Guy told Fry when he offered to get him a job at Planet Express, "Awesome. Awesome to the max."
Re: MDK 2 Shoots for 1000 of Your Nintendo Points on 9th May
So, this is an Interplay published, BioWare developed PC game coming to the VC? Awesome, I'd check it out if I could...
What would be more awesome, though, would be to see Fallout and Fallout 2 on WiiWare...
Re: Review: Successfully Learning Mathematics: Year 5 (WiiWare)
What's Christopher Meloni doing there? Is Elliot Stabler cracking down on math? Hooray for him...
Re: Zelda 3D Developed by Grezzo Co, Not Nintendo EAD
I was wondering whether this would be acknowledged on the site itself, since someone made a thread about it on the forums...
@Jumpmad: Really? It's nothing like Metroid: Other M; this is a port, whereas Other M wasn't...

Looking good...
Re: Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Launches on 19th June
Awesome, I doubt I'll get it until much later, but I'm sure its golden box will taunt me any time I walk by a games aisle...
Re: Dust Off Your MotionPlus for Wii Play: Motion in June
I greatly enjoyed the original Wii Play, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this one as well...
Re: Research Firm Predicts 12m 3DS Sales by 2012, 70m by 2015
The 3DS hasn't even been on sale for a month (in NA) and these kinds of predictions are already circulating? Geez...

Re: Review: WWE All Stars (Wii)
@Gameday: It's reminiscent of WCW/NWO Revenge? That's all I need to hear, I'll definitely be buying this game eventually...

That pun was absolutely groan-inducing, Trevor...

Re: The Brothers Mario 2 Trailer Introduces Us to the New Don
That was amazing...
Great subtle references, too, though the "Don... key Kong" line made me groan. I was kind of expecting the Kongs to be riding around in a gray vehicle (perhaps a Hummer) with "RAMBI" on the license plate, though...
Re: Review: Steel Diver (3DS)
After reading Nintendo Power's review I kind of expected at least a 7 (NP gave it an 8). Well, different strokes and all...
Great review, Corbs...
Re: Win a Signed Copy of Monster Tale and Soundtrack (North America)
So, who wound up winning?

Awesome interview...
Also, that show idea sounds fantastic. I love American Pickers, so I'd definitely be interested...

Re: Melbourne EB Games to Host Official 3DS Launch Party
I remember when there used to be EB Games (and Babbage's) down here, before they morphed into GameStops...
Sounds like a cool event. Wonder what the Mii souvenier will be...

Re: Design the Official T-Shirt for Team Chien!
I know the resolution is 300 dpi, but are there specific dimensions required, as well?
Re: Even in Pieces, the 3DS is a Sexy Piece of Hardware
"B-But those girls don't wear cases! You can see their bare circuits!"
I need to get a tri-wing screwdriver sometime, not that I'd disassemble my 3DS, but perhaps my busted DS Lite...

Re: Dinkybox is the Toy Store You Always Dreamed of
Wow, they've got a great selection. It's too bad their Nintendo store is 99.9% Super Mario, and that the other .1% doesn't include anything Metroid...
Re: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition gets an Extra Life
Nice, I'll have to see if I can buy a copy this time around...
