While I admit that the story has some things that set it apart from previous games, the overall package was, at its core, an Ocarina of Time XXL. Twilight Princess was one of those games that refine the existing formula rather that reinventing it.
But, yeah, Midna is one of the best character in the series and a million times cooler than Navi for sure..
It looks like they make the game look much less archaic while still succeeding to keep the look and feel and colour palette of the game intact. I am impressed by that.
A game like Super Street Fighter 4 is not a game you download in a minute like Angry Birds. As long as internet connections are not fast enough to download large games quickly, there will be a huge marktet for physical games. I agree that physical games will and should be eliminated in time. also from an environmental viewpoint. That time, however, has not come yet because of technical difficulties.
If it goes down in price I'll pick it up and sell that crappy DS version I still have.
Rayman 2 is one of my absolute favourite games of all time, don't get me wrong, but I had hoped for something new instead of a game that has been released on nearly a dozen platforms by now.
I wasn't expecting this as they released it for DS a few years ago. I played the DS version but I love it so much I'd download it for VC anyway. I heard the DS version did not sell very well so perhaps that's why they release it now.
The absolute best candidate for the next Hanabi Festival if you ask me.
I prefer the earlier games but I admit the extensive multiplayer makes up for the absence of things like Safari Zone, Battle Frontier, Gym Leader rematches or having Pokémon follow you.
If there is one game that would be able to breathe some new life in the series, it would be a console RPG. I'd love to see it, many fans would. Why does Game Freak remain so ignorant.

Re: Nintendo Download: 20th May 2011 (Europe)
I'm curious about finally being able to play Chrono Trigger in its original SNES form.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th May 2011 (North America)
Chrono Trigger people! Effing Chrono Trigger.
Re: Mario and Sonic 2012 Screens Blow Minds, Collapse Worlds
Mario and Sonic's Epic Yarn?
Re: Chrono Trigger Hits European Virtual Console on Friday
Ah! Finally! I adore this game.
Re: Ubisoft Goes Out on a Limb to Bring Rayman Origins to Wii
Hell, yeah! And bring the two classic versions to the VC already!

Re: New Elements Planned for Mario Kart on the 3DS
I think they should mix in a few tracks based on other Nintendo franchises. Imagina a Hyrule-based track. How awesome would that be?
Re: Europe Gets New Wii Bundle and Budget Range Too
Why Wii Sports? Who wants to pay €19,99 for it?
Re: Rumour: Nintendo to Launch "Wii Select" Budget Range
Super Mario Galaxy series and New Super Mario Bros. Wii also, please!
Re: Get Another Taste of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D with This Video
Better than ever before!
Re: Redbox Game Rentals Go Nationwide in June
That's an interesting concept to say the least. So it's basicaly just like a coke machine?
Re: Nintendo Confirms New Console
Ah! So it is indeed true.
Re: Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version
Looks impressive!
Re: Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D's European Box Art is Simply Beautiful
absolutely gorgeous
Re: Ocarina of Time 3D Gets Boss Rush Mode and Helpful Videos
It's going to be better than ever before.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th April 2011 (North America)
Let's hope we get Mega Man X soon. I prefer the NES versions but it's still awesome.
Re: ESRB Rating Outs Mega Man 5 for Virtual Console
Yay! Almost there when it comes to having all NES Mega Man games on VC.
Re: Rumour: Wii 2 has Blu-ray Drive, Controller Contains a Screen
Sony only developed the Blu-Ray format, winning the battle over HD-DVD from Microsoft as the new main storage format.
Re: Feature: The SLG3000 and the Glorious Return of Scanlines
I don't even have a flatscreen TV so this is still common when playing an old video game.
Re: Zelda 3D Developed by Grezzo Co, Not Nintendo EAD
It looks like they make the game look much less archaic while still succeeding to keep the look and feel and colour palette of the game intact. I am impressed by that.
Re: Zelda: Ocarina of Time Reaches Europe on 17th June
Normally I would not pay the full price for a remake or port but for Ocarina of Time that's a whole different story.
Re: European Virtual Console Gets Chrono Trigger in Quarter 2
YES! Finally a confirmation that this game will appear in Europe! Chrono Trigger makes up for like two months of no new VC games if you ask me.
Re: Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Launches on 19th June
The Holy Grail of video gaming!
Re: Fan-Made Metroid Game Miniaturises Our Beloved Heroine
Nintendo, license this game now and let them make this a WiiWare project! This looks awesome!
Re: Your First Look at Pandora's Tower is Below These Words
Looks like Square-Enix combined with God of War. Looks pretty dang awesome!
Re: Sega Teases Sonic Anniversary Announcement for 7th April
Not really a fan. I prefer Mario.
Re: Happy Two-Year "Nintendo Life" Anniversary
Congrats NL! I wasn't a member until august 2009 or something, though.

Re: Dig Into Cave Story 3DS on 28th June
It's fun but I don't feel like buying it AGAIN!
Re: Review: Rayman 3D (3DS)
If it goes down in price I'll pick it up and sell that crappy DS version I still have.
Rayman 2 is one of my absolute favourite games of all time, don't get me wrong, but I had hoped for something new instead of a game that has been released on nearly a dozen platforms by now.
Re: Chrono Trigger is Coming to Virtual Console in Japan
HELL YEAH!!!

The absolute best candidate for the next Hanabi Festival if you ask me.
Re: Here's the 3DSWare Logo You'll Spend Years Looking At
I thought this was already revealed at last year's E3.
Re: Discover Nintendo's 3D Legacy with Our Virtual Boy Coverage
On Virtual Console it might just work without giving you seizures. At least the Wario game could be released be it as a VC game or a 3DSWare remake.
Re: Talking Point: To 3D or Not to 3D?
As long as it isn't the new Virtual Boy, we should be okay.
Re: Hands On: Nintendo 3DS
I'm really curious about this thing. I won get it day one but once there are some games that I like start coming around I'll pick it up.
Re: Walk the Plank with this LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Trailer
Pirates and LEGO,has been a masterful combination since I was just a kid.
Re: Nintendo Announces 3DS Instalment in the Super Mario Series
Looks awesome!
Re: Zelda Music Project Raises $19,000 for Twilight Princess Album
Now THAT, my friends, is awesome. I mean, Lord of the Rings!
Re: Take On the Master Quest in Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Holy cr*p! That's good news.
Re: Review: Pokémon Black and White (DS)
I prefer the earlier games but I admit the extensive multiplayer makes up for the absence of things like Safari Zone, Battle Frontier, Gym Leader rematches or having Pokémon follow you.
Re: The Legend of Zelda is 25 Years Old Today
Zelda, so many fond memories to be had with that series.
Re: Review: Cosy Fire (WiiWare)
I cannot believe it got a 4. This seems to pointless to give it such a high score.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (DS)
I'm curious about it. I like how they use the sprites to keep that old SNES-vibe to it.
Re: Wii Unlikely to Catch a Traditional Pokemon RPG Title
If there is one game that would be able to breathe some new life in the series, it would be a console RPG. I'd love to see it, many fans would. Why does Game Freak remain so ignorant.
Re: Show Your Sweetheart You Care, the 8-Bit Way
That's awesome!
Re: 3DS Virtual Console Will Be Available on Launch Day
Too bad I have both of those games already. Zelda is the dx version, though. I've got the monochrome game.
Re: Cave Story is Coming to 3DS in Full Retail Form
Cool, but it badly reeks of milking it out. I love Cave Story, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't buy it unless it hits bargian bins.
Re: Nintendo Announces Official 3DS UK Launch Line-Up
No games that will make me wanna buy it on day one yet. Decent line-up, though.
Re: Prepare for Dragon Quest VI with A New Trailer
Looks great. I like how, besides the updated visuals, there's still a sort of SNES vibe to it.
Re: Sonic Colours Sells 1.85 Million Copies Worldwide
Congrats, Sega!
You deserved it after years of mediocre or even downright bad Sonic console games.
