Those pictures make this game look really good, better than the videos I've seen. The more I see of this game the more I'm interested. I have a Wii U.. so odds are I won't be passing it up. I wonder if there will be online co-op.

Really looking forward to the 3DS title. It'll be a nice change of pace, hopefully. Going into a Zelda world without really having a set path right off the bat might be a good thing. It'll definitely remind me of the first time I played the original Zelda for NES.

As far as changing the Zelda series up a bit, I've had a few ideas.. a futuristic zelda world would be something way different for the IP.. or even a game where you might play as Zelda at some point. I really liked Spirit Tracks because having her as somewhat of a team-mate was really cool, even though you weren't playing as her.. just a golem. There's a lot they could do with the series and obviously they know what to do to insure that the franchise doesn't become stagnant.

@ShikabaneHime13 Same, I'm actually downloading the updates and about to start the Zelda download.. I have a slow connection so I need to get that going and THEN I'll start doing chores around the house. I can't wait to play this game, I missed the Gamecube version so I'm really looking forward to this.

I can't wait until friday.. I'll be at best buy to pick up my preorder when it opens.

Can't wait to get this.. Froakie was my initial choice and now he's just looking better. Chespin is starting to look appealing though.. I bet he'll have a fierce looking 3rd form.

Preordered my bundle yesterday, can't wait to pick it up next friday. Never played Wind Waker before.. kind of glad I waited now.

@element187 When I was stating I'd rather see a Majora's Mask remake I wasn't talking about them just bringing it to 1080p. I was suggesting they flat out revamp the whole thing like they did with that Wii U Demo a couple years ago where they showed Link with the Deku Mask. I know it will probably never happen, I'm just saying I'd MUCH rather see that than a re-release of a game that I bought new in the last 5 years.

I really hope they stray from releasing HD remakes of these for now. I liked them both, SS more, but still. They haven't even been out that long.. we don't need them especially when you can play them on your Wii U if you wanted to anyway.

I'd much rather see them put a Majora's Mask remake on the Wii U, or perhaps even look into one of the older classic Zelda games like "A Link to the Past" and bring that into a HD 3D world. That would be cool.

Now.. on the subject of a HD remake. Bring Eternal Darkness to Wii U.

Glad to hear you guys are getting this game, too. Rune Factory is one of the coolest game series out there.. I've been waiting for this one for a while and it was one of the main forces behind me actually getting the 3DS.

I think Bravely Default looks more like a classic Final Fantasy game than anything else released since Final Fantasy IX. Really hope that game lives up to the expectations that I have for it.

@ErnisDy So what I got from this is by friends you mean your Mom and she's quite verbally abusive. Got ya. I can see why turn based games are not as popular, especially amongst todays crowd.. but lets face it, how many more people do you think would be interested if this game looked exactly the same just had a more immersive combat system? I don't think it would be that much of a difference.

@Gregor Ahh yeah, I guess you're right. In some games it becomes tedious very quickly to the point where you just want to run from every battle.. I just finished Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and that game does have some of the funnest fights ever when it comes to turned base games. It just kind of feels like once you take out the turned base aspect of an RPG it kind of loses the whole RPG feel, to a certain extent. I'm fine with them changing it as long as they come up with something great. Not just change for the sake of change.

@ErnisDy Yeah, I don't see whats wrong with that. I mean.. the best RPG classics ever released are all turn-based. Unless they can come up with some better alternative, why risk changing what works so well?

This is one of the few Castlevania games that I haven't played.. for some reason I just never got it when I had the SNES. I'll definitely pick this up when I get my Wii U if it's available.

Froakie and Bulbasaur for me.. this is awesome news, can't wait.

Yup, I thoroughly enjoyed the game as well, my only gripe was the lack of bosses.. that would have made the game an easy 9 for me.

@jayclayx I only voted Zelda because I've never played it before, I get what you're saying though. I'm surprised that it's higher than DK.. I almost voted for that.

@DarkCoolEdge I was shocked to see the price. $900k? 2.5M for console versions..? That's ridiculous. Especially coming from someone who I assume is already quite wealthy. I'd try the game if it came out on 3DS or console but I won't back this.

@Chriiis It really hurts me that I can't have Minish Cap on my 3DS. I will be getting a Wii here shortly though.. and hopefully I'll have access to it through that at some point. Minish Cap is criminally under-rated and somewhat hated I think to a certain extent. I don't see why. It's just one of the most colorful and.. unique zelda games that there are. I mean, it's a simple concept, but it just felt so cool shrinking down and fighting regular monsters as bosses. I loved it. I haven't played it in years and recently I've had a bad urge to play it.. I don't own my GBA or that game anymore unfortunately and I refuse to play a rom.. it's just not the same on PC.

I just finished Twilight Princess for the first time the other day and I have to say I hated it for the first 1/4 of the game and had to force myself to play it. After playing Skyward Sword first the controls were just awful and unresponsive for me. Once I got used to them though, the game got better and I really started liking it towards the end. Midna is probably my favorite Zelda character to date and the ending of the game is definitely the saddest and possibly the best of all the Zelda games. I have kind of a love hate feeling for TP.

My favorite Zelda game is probably Majora's Mask. It's hard to choose though.. I really liked Skyward Sword and that may take it's place. Minish Cap is up there, too. That's one Zelda game that I always want to go back and play again over all the others.

This looks awesome. I can't wait to check it out. Lots of games I want over the next couple of months.. and no money. What to do.

@1337man1233 Oh, wow. Cool. I used to watch those guys pretty often, I must have missed those episodes.. I'm going to have to check it out. I have some fun memories with that game. Thanks for telling me.

@Ryno That would be Totally Rad... I'm sorry. Had some good times with that game. I'm surprised anyway else is even aware of it's existence. (Totally Rad that is.) A Breath of Fire for the Wii U would be a must buy for me.

I have a slight feeling that Mega Man is on the table for a Nintendo release.. it feels like SSB is hinting towards that. The fact that Nintendo and Capcom have been so buddy buddy makes it feel like even more of a possibility. It just feels right and it would bring a lot of attention to both companies..

I was considering getting the Zelda Wii U bundle before I knew about the price drop.. now it feels like icing on the cake. I have yet to play Wind Waker so it's completely fresh to me.

I think the 2DS is a great idea too. The more 3DS/2DS systems in consumers hands, the better.

@KnightRider666 I couldn't agree more.. would love a new game in that series.

This game is definitely a 9. It's a very thoroughly made and complete game. I'm glad to see a review of it though, regardless of the score. It's hard to compare to other rare games but personally, I had more fun with this than I did DK64 and Banjo-Kazooie. That's juist me though, I love the alien sci-fi part of this and it's a very good original IP. It's a shame Nintendo can't be part of a new one.

Now I feel the urge to break out the N64 and play.. it actually one of the few N64 games that I still own.

I bought this game day of release and I'd probably give it a 7.5 - 8.0. It's a definitely a fun game with a perfect blend of difficulty. My first playthrough took 6 hours, doing a speed run now. It reminds me of a mix between Metroid and Terraria (the mining aspect). One thing I found disappointing was a lack of bosses.. but that really shouldn't take away from the game itself. It was great and there were actually some levels that took a while to figure out.

As long as they let you choose the difficulty settings before beating it once.. I hate games where you can only choose hardmode after it's beaten.

This sounds a lot more reasonable and realistic, hopefully things will go smoothly from here on out. I really want to see this happen.

@rjejr Thanks man, but unfortunately I'm broke right now.. I'm probably going to try and wait until around black friday. That way I might actually have some money to spare and hopefully a better sale.

Urgh.. need to get a Wii U.

They just need to remake some sequels of older classics, IE: Final Fantasy Tactcs, the Mana series, Chrono Trigger/Cross.. just use those names and tag a GOOD game onto it.. There are so many classics they could build from that I feel are just being left to waste.

God, it'd be sweet if they were working with Natsume on a Harvest Moon/Pokemon-type game. It reminds me a lot of the earliar horses in the Harvest Moon series, that's for sure.

So now to wait for disappointment, seeing as that's pretty much all speculation ever does.

Loved the original.. I wish I still had my dreamcast to fire it up and see what he's been doing for the last 13 years.

I've never played the original, so I'm kind of looking forward to this. It'll be a whole new experience and one of my excuses for eventually picking up a Wii U.

Already pre-ordered this, I prefer physical copy anyway. Only game I've ever bought digitally, aside from VC, is Animal Crossing. It just makes it that much easier to switch between games.

Excited to get this.. haven't played this series since the GBA Superstar Saga, hopefully this is as good as I remember that one being.

New Leaf and DKCReturns 3DS.. I've had Animal Crossing a week and I'm loving it.

Over hyping small announcements like these usually lead to disappointment. One can always hope though. Personally, I hope it's something other than Mario. Something fresh.

I'll be purchasing this game today now, I believe. Now Sega just needs to make a new Shining Force already..

One of my favorite Zelda titles.. the challenge in it just makes it that much more fun to me. It'd be cool if they remade it in one form another, even if it wasn't the same game, but a new game similar to it's style.

Just preordered this today.. not sure if it's OK to post this here, but there is a preorder sale on NewEgg right now with a promo code.

On another note. Has anyone noticed or seen any different battle backgrounds? So far I'm only seeing grass and trees.. was hoping there would be different scenery for gyms and what not.

God, I need to get a Wii U. This game never appealed to me when I had my GameCube even though I was a huge Zelda fan. Looking at it now I don't know what I was thinking. This is definitely one of the reasons I will be getting a Wii U. Can't wait to play it.

Will definitely be picking this up if I have a Wii U at the time.. maybe black friday I'll pick up a Wii U and this plus Wind Waker for a worth while deal.

Shining Force for me thank you very much. Was stoked to hear this when it was announced, especially since I never knew this one existed in the first place. Definitely my favorite strategy/rpg series out there. I might check out Might Switch Force as well.. we'll see.

I wasn't a huge fan of 3D Land, although I did like it. This looks like a huge improvement and the fact that it has some features reminiscent of SMB2 for NES just makes it that much more appealing to me. The boss fight with the snake things looks cool, too. I don't have a Wii U yet but odds are I'll be getting this game at some point. I'm sure it'll shape up quite nice despite the disappointment I felt when I saw a 3D Land sequel.

This is one of the reasons I want a Wii U. I never played it when it was originally released so it's pretty much a whole new game for me. I plan on getting a Wii U this holiday season hopefully at a decent price so I can pick up this and Donkey Kong as well.

Yeah.. I voted for Shining Force even though I'm from the U.S. Here's hoping that it gets released here this week.. I must play that game.

As a person who loves fishing, it's hard to find a good fishing game. The last one I can recall was Sega Marine Fishing for the Sega Dreamcast, mainly because there was a wide variety of fish you can catch and cool scenery/locations. Reel fishing had a few good games too. Games where you can only catch Bass are so.. how do I put this? Lame. So this is just meh to me. Now's the time for a decent fishing game to come onto the scene and I think that the Wii U's controller might be perfect for it.

How about a new "Legend of the River King" Natsume?

God I hope this has good online play. I really wanted to play 3 Ultimate because of how great it looked but I couldn't bring myself to buy it knowing it was wifi only. I have no friends who have 3DS so yeah.. no multiplayer. Now, if this has good multiplayer online, I'm in.

Been looking forward to Zelda for months now, forgot about it these last few days. Come to the website, see this and imagine my surprise.. finally.

I'm just gonna be optimistic about this game. As a huge fan of Harvest Moon and Rune Factory I had some high hopes for this game, but.. from what I've seen in previous trailers, it hasn't looked very good. Mainly because it looked like a bad iOS game. The screenshot showing here looks like a bit of an improvement though. I'm still looking forward to seeing this and glad they are showing it at E3.
