@Chicken_Brutus in A Christmas Carol Scrooge is shown what would happen if he doesn't change his ways. He is shown a bleak glimpse of his future of what will happen if he DOESN'T do anything about it.
Link to the Past Makes sense. Link is told by a man in the sanctuary that Agahnim is planning to break a seal made hundreds of years ago by the Seven Sages = The events in OoT. As to why its called "Link Fails" timeline is a mystery. Maybe Link dies (You the Player cant beat OoT cause youre a noob) and Zelda and seven sages are still able seal Ganon away.
This timeline makes perfect sense. I wasn't expecting the Oracle series to fall into the same split. @LadyStarstorm What dont you understand that Wind Waker takes place after the Adult timeline in Ocarina of Time? Link saves Hyrule from Ganondorf. Hyrule is under attack sometime later and the People of Hyrule pray for the "Hero Of Time" to return but he doesnt come. Hyrule is then flooded.
I never really watched this "award" show, but it was nice to see Zelda get more praise. I will wait to see who the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences chooses for Game of The Year. Skyrim should have been disqualified for releasing a bugged game.
@tendoboy1984 Nintendo owns the IP for Eternal Darkness and has patented the "Sanity effects". I also discovered Nintendo still owns stock in the company.
"Once the paid versions of the games are posted to the Nintendo eShop later in the year, the "updated versions" will be available to Ambassadors for download at no cost."
can anyone tell me what does the "updated versions" mean? 3D versions?
@WaveBoy umm the Dreamcast comment? He didn't say it, HE is quoting what OTHERS are saying. I don't understand where the bad mouthing is coming from toward him when he is clearly saying the Wii U is a great machine and a big STFU to nay-sayers.
According to Team meat... they said on their twitter account "We said "No WiiWare and Wii Retail is hard to get" not "No WiiWare, No Wii and PC Special edition is grim" JOURNALISM!!!"
I don't understand the appeal of VC...when people complain whether we get one or not. Their is only so many actually good ones before their is nothing left.
The point being is this game is/was a beloved Nintendo franchise. Yeah there are other games with far worse storylines and gameplay, but this game is a Nintendo icon and it doesn't live up to what Nintendo stands for.
I really liked the article JesusSaves posted. It about sums up everything I feel about this game.
PS: Can we stop using IMO. Really?? Are you that lazy to just type "In My Opinion"??? and stop referring to Nintendo as "Ninty" I feel like I am reading a 1st graders writing.
G4 made some really good points but it wasn't enough to justify the score they gave it. I didn't like the game at all, It lost its Metroid feel. It felt awkward playing it.
A 3DS Metroid will probably make up for its faults.
When the DS first released I was expecting games like Mario 64 DS. I was excited that a handheld could create N64 visuals...so far since then I havent seen any game look as good as Mario or Metroid Hunters. I expected Phantom Hourglass to look as good as Ocarina of Time...but it was just a 2.5D game...
I too wonder how this feature will work. Most wifi signals are locked unless you are at a Starbucks...but even then sometimes I cant get my DSi to connect to the wifi signal.
The game starts off ok but then gets very difficult. I still wouldnt recomend this game to anyone even with the tweaks. The controls are awkward, the levels are long and frustrating without save points. I think not giving the US an updated fix is a slap in the face to people still struggling with its difficulty.
A firmware update will likely fix this soon. Just like the glitch in Wii Sports Resort that was later resolved with a firmware update.
I remember when my GameCube was defective and I couldn't play Metroid Prime. I had to save every second I could or the game would freeze on me. I didn't realize it was my GameCube till I popped the disk into my Wii and it worked fine.
@JesusSaves. No one asked what you wanted. @drdark I dont see anywhere that the Japanese gaming industry is failing. Care to provide a source to back that up?

@WeirdFox Cause its a different "Incarnation" of Link a 100 years later?
Clearly @KaiserGX and I seem to be the only ones who remember the storyline of each game and have played them all.

Re: Talking Point: Wii U - Revolution or Evolution?
Still waiting for a lime green Wii... The Wii U better come out in more than one color and not just wait till the end of its life cycle.

Re: WiiWare Super Meat Boy Gets Canned

So I assume its still coming to the Wii people.

Why is there no story about the live action trailer?
Re: Samus Narrates a Trip Down Metroid Memory Lane
Looks like I was saying it right the whole time. I Still prefer to pronounce Samus' last name "Uh-Ran" not "Aaron"
