Apologies if already mentioned/posted.

Hopefully Club Nintendo will be working then because it's still offline after the phishing attack late last week.

Yeah, 98. And 'only' 96 for Majora's Mask. :(

With hindsight they both deserved 100. Even without it they deserved 100. Ah I need this game. Stop making me buy games RLLMUK.

It's a good year for Zelda what with Skyward Sword. I don't expect we'll get another for ages after that. Remake of Majora on Wii U would immense. They could use the screen on the pad to show you timelines and other events occurring simultaneously. Or when you slow down time it could show stuff in real time AND slo-mo, like the movie Inception, on separate screens.

GAME.co.uk. They normally get new releases to me the day before they're due out.

Sweet! That's where mine's coming from. Haven't used them in years but was told they are good these days.

Also got a copy coming from Play cos you get a better freebie with it from them.

What's RRP on this? I can sometimes get stuff a day or so early, but I'll have to pay full price. The woman in Asda said they were doing it for 29.99 so I might go there Thursday at midnight.

RRP is £39.99. Everywhere s doing it for £30 though, I've still not seen anywhere doing it for less than that, or maginally less.

You know town is closer than Asda dude...

Game have already dispatched their preorders @ £29.99 with the extra free gubbins. Shit's about to get real tomorrow.

That's kind of what Spirit Tracks and the other one were meant to be though, weren't they? I know they were smaller games but they continued that story and that incarnation of Link.

Phantom Hourglass was a direct sequel set shortly after Wind Waker following the characters journey in a new land (just like Link's Awakening following Link's journey after Zelda 3) & Spirit Tracks used the old Zelda trick of jumping forward in time so they could use their identical descendents in the land they eventually settled in. It was nice touch to see the much aged Nico & his reference to Link looking like a friend he used to have.

I want to see a third N64-era Link game. Make Ocarina, Majora and a new third game into a trilogy! Use that visual style and that engine etc. But with lots of fun DS-specific touchscreen stuff.

This is a neat idea, but would it more like Ocarina's pure Zelda formula or Majora's much more quirky setup? Perhaps a mix of both? It would also mean that the Wind Waker style would be shelved until much later in the future, & I would love to see them make a version of Wind Waker specially tailored to the 3DS instead of trying to shoehorn in the actual game. It could be made to the system's strengths & weaknesses then just like the DS versions were.

But they had those bullshit stylus controls and epically dull train journeys. In Spirit Tracks anyway. I'd quite like a sequel to Minish Cap which I thought was a very solid Zelda game and a definite step up from Capcom compared to the Oracle games.

You see, I thought the oracle games were superb, the only issue I ever had with them was, it was just a little bit too much zelda at once.

The hype up to OOT in N64 Magazine (from the very first issues, if I remember right) was always interesting to read indeed. Initial first impressions review was done somewhere in Germany I think? (was scored ??%) Some obscure destination the reviewers had to travel to, in any case.

Still the Best Game Ever

It was Nintendo Germany, for the final review Jes had two weeks to complete the game and write the review.

An American Journalist has already described Ocarina Of Time as “the Gone With the Wind” of videogames. It is not only that, but also the Guernica, the War and Peace, the Citizen Kane. Think of Super Mario 64 – as toweringly brilliant as it is – as a mere sketch, a character study; this is the completed picture, a portrait so exquisite it will be puzzled over, studied and, most of all, enjoyed for years. Nothing comes close. Game of the century? Believe it.

But Metroid had Fusion bringing the quality down slightly, and Mario had Sunshine or a slightly less than perfect Mario Land in the way somewhere. By my arbitrary reckoning the best they ever managed was 3 perfect games in a row.

This is a very important topic.

Wut? Metroid Fusion is fucking awesome.

Prime 3 : Corruptions is the first shit one. Or that DS game, Hunters.

Metroid Fusion was pretty standard; I played through it in one 3 1/2 hour sitting and it was pretty unremarkable. I don't remember it bringing anything new or memorable to the series.

Neither did Link's Awakening though, really, but it was still amazing.
