Re: Talking Point: Could Another Nintendo Series Take Over The 'Traditional' Zelda Template?

Ever Oasis should continue the classic Zelda formula.

I honestly want Kid Icarus to follow the path that Uprising went, which is nothing like a Zelda game.

Star Tropics is what I voted for here because it is the most like Zelda, as well as The Frog For Whom The Bell Tolls.

THAT SAID. The game I really want to get a sequel and continue the classic Zelda formula is Ever Oasis made by Grezzo, the team who worked on a lot of Zelda remakes/remasters. Ever Oasis basically follows very similar beats to classic Zelda, allowing for a lot of exploration as well as items to get further in dungeons (those items being in the form of your allies.) It's the closest we got to an original 3D Zelda game on the 3DS handheld, and it is in my top 3 games for the handheld. I hope it gets either a sequel or a port.

Re: Talking Point: Who Could Play Link, Zelda, Ganondorf In The Zelda Movie? - 25 Actors Who Could Fit The Bill

Thomas Brodie-Sangster is the perfect choice for Link as an adult, and is a good actor in general.

Elle Fanning definitely could play the role of Zelda, however I wouldn't mind a newer actress as well.

As for the child roles, most of these kids will be adults by the time the movie is out. Heck, some of them are already adults. I think it will be a new actor/actress for the roles of child Link/Zelda.

Re: Talking Point: How Were You Introduced To Metroid?

For me it was several ganes in the series at once. I'd watch my brother play Prime 1, 2, and 3. We also had the demo for Prime Hunters which I would play with friends, but quite rarely.

It was when I my brother moved out that I got his copy of Prime 2. I never did finish Prime 2, however I remember being stunned by the attention to detail.

It has always been my opinion that behind the scenes at Nintendo that they wanted Metroid Prime to be their answer to Halo (with Metroid focusing on single player primarily.) I remember even having conversations in the school yard back then comparing the 2 series. Of course, with the addition of multiplayer in Prime 2 (and it being pushed even further in Hunters,) I held that belief.

Prime 2 isn't my favorite game in the series. In fact the furthest I ever got was to where you need to collect some keys at the end of the game, or whatever. While it isn't even in my top 5 Metroid titles, I still appreciate the effect it had on my enjoyment of the series.

Maybe that's why, apart from Super Metroid impressing me to this day for its attention to detail, I think Prime 3 and Prime 1 are in my top 4 Metroid games or all time, with Prime 3 being at number 2.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Metroid Prime

maisel97

I'm going to be completely honest here. I think Metroid Prime has arguably the worst box art in the entire series. She is literally just standing there... Menacingly! At least we see a bit of a space station in the background, but still. It is just a really boring boxart, that has nothing going on.

The Japanese version is worse in my opinion though. Now she is running towards the player. Nothing interesting is really happening outside of that. No background elements, nothing. At least the first picture had something going on behind her that was kind of neat. Now it is just her, and there is nothing particularly interesting going on. It feels like the art is trying to make her look cool when Metroid Prime 1 wasn't really about that. (In fact I'd argue that Super Metroid, Prime 3, and Metroid Dread have the best cover art in the series by a long shot.)

Re: Expect More Conduit News Before The End of 2012

maisel97

I love the conduit series because of its gameplay and weapons like the black hole gun thing. I wouldn't be surprised if the 3rd installment in the series is on both Wii U and 3ds. Or at least 2 different games. I also wouldn't be surprised if the game is able to have multiplayer with 3ds via Wii U. Nintendo did mention that idea before the 3ds was released.
