Words can not express my utter bafflement. Trains, Nintendo?

Sadly, even a terrible Zelda game is better than 95% of the games on the market.

Are you sure about that, LordHuffnPuff?

On a side note, it doesn't look that bad. I, at first, imagined the entire game being about Link fighting through an out-of-control train and trying to stop it.

Hahaha, me to, luckily the vid gets much better, especially the dungeons and boss scene.

This game looks like it is going to be pretty good.

Trains?! WHY?! WHAT!?

Well, the sailing was boring in WW and PH imo, so this'll be just as good as any Zelda game.

I'm guessing you can get off at any point of the train or something, therefore not ruining the exploration aspect of the game.

As long as there's no backtracking (like PH's Temple of the Ocean King), button controls (Hate the touch controls-- swing one way, it goes another) and actual difficulty, I'm sold.

I am going to bitch because I disagree with the choice of platforms, is that ok?

The Wii desperately needs a solid game, and a Zelda title almost always brings it.

Have you bought/played Madworld yet GP? I am still playing it and its keeping me plenty satisfied.

I have watched the game play videos and read all about it. If I want to just kill stuff without a reason I can just play Unreal Tournament.

Perhaps if it comes up as a 50% off bargain or something I'll get it, but at $50 it is just an excuse for violence... which doesn't really do anything for me.

$50? I thought the standard MSRP for DS games was $39.99.

Yeah, well they can fucking get rid of the $50 price tag on Twilight Princess before they do that.

I'd recommend the new House of the Dead game on the Wii as well. I laughed four three hours without stopping. Get a mate and blast through.

Nintendo is working on appealing to younger kids and what better way than trains

Still though, Nintendo needs to come out with a new Zelda that has at the very least a T rating

I'm pretty sure that Twilight Princess had a Teen rating.

Posted: Mar 31 2009 12:05 am

And anyway, I don't think the rating has anything to do with it. There have been plenty (repeat: PLENTY) of superb E-rated games released, oh, I don't know, since the ESRB was established.

Oh, I very much agree. Just look at every Mario title.
