His double helix sword also looks stupidly cool - I'd love to see it return in some future Zelda game.Marius wrote:I replayed Majora last winter, loved every second of it and managed to collect all the masks this time around. Unfortunately, having all the masks made the final battle a walkover.

Straight Outta Trumpton.
I completed Ocarina of Time recently and loved it. Playing through Wind Waker at the moment and bar a few little issues, I think it's excellent. At the Earth Temple - great puzzles.
I have Majora's Mask, but suspect I will be playing Twlight Princess before that one.

I was browsing through the Archive and I found this little gem again: http://www.yakyak.org/viewtopic.php?t=20028
So, Nintendo granted a wish that many of you wanted two (or more maybe) years ago. Why do I see only a couple of us defending it?

YakYak FTW!
Nothing is worth the effort you put into it.

Who was the cunt that proposed "Wii" to be a great name? Step out now!

Oh trust me, I didRoobarb wrote:I like to savour the experience and fully cross-examine the witnesses, talk to everyone, visit and revisit locations and check out everything. I'm the sort of person that makes it all worthwhile for the developers to put in those nice little touches off the beaten track. Things like if you check out the hotel opposite the office later on in the story, you see how their trade picks up and the bellboy gets a promotion, or how the poster on the wall in the office gets changed, and the health of the plant is commented on
I pressed nearly everything every witness says cos there's plenty of funny stuff to reveal. I recheck stuff each case cos it changes (especially Charlie the plant in PW:JFA). Okay, perhaps I was a little underestimating the time to play through, but I don't think it was more than 20 hours. I DO read fairly quickly though, I am somewhat of a prolific speed reader in general...
@Bubba - GAME are doing pre-orders on official Wii component cable for £20 (or their version for £15) and PlayAsia doing the official for £18 including shipping.
Lie with passion and be forever damned...

I'm hoping I'll be able to score an RGB scart lead for around that price. But to be honest I might wait for a 3rd party alternative. I've got an XCM cable for the 360 with every output you can think of (well, apart from D-Terminal ) and it's bloody fantastic, especially given that it cost about £10. Picked up a similar one for the GC / PS2 / Xbox for under a tenner.
Thing is, I need Svideo at home and RGB at uni (sadly got nothing that accepts component). So 3rd party leads that do both save me a lot of cash.

Had my first go at a Wii tonight. Did some Wii Sports, Monkey Ball, and watched the Surgery game get played. (1-3 players, not enough controllers for 4 - sold out everywhere)
My impression? It's very Nintendo, and it's niched in the family orientated geographic, but they will throw a title or two to please the "Nintendo Hardcore" crowd (like Zelda, Metroid, etc). It's probably going to sell as well as the GameCube, and will probably make Nintendo more profit, due to so many controller/accessory sales.
The limitations of the controller (mainly accuracy) will be worked out in time with better software. It's not perfect, but you don't need to be perfect when playing. It's good enough, but doesn't offer pixel-perfect sniping action.
It's not going to attract the hardcore gaming crowd, me thinks. All of those games are headed to 360/PS3 anyway. You wouldn't be able to play Gears of War on this thing either, not without significantly changing the game mechanics.
Walking away from it, I got the feel that it's basically a GameCube with a different controller, packaged and marketed much better.
Most of the hype surrounding it recently is just that, hype. Same with the PS3. 3-6 months from now, people will be analyzing both systems much clearer.
A lot of people think the Wii is competing against the PS3. It's not. They're different market demographics entirely. Nintendo has virtually no competition in their niche space, so it's almost guaranteed that this system will do well. It won't lead the industry, however. Nintendo lost that crown to Sony in the 90's.
Nintendo peeps buy Nintendo systems, and are very loyal to that brand. That's not going away anytime soon. They're very vocal, think their brand is the best, and virally promote that whenever they have the chance. It's (usually) a good thing for a company to have (like Apple).
I think the biggest question is going to be how much 3rd party support it gets, and how many of those titles are going to be exclusives or hand-me-down ports, ala GameCube. New, original, fun, unique content is key, not ports, re-releases, and uninspired sequels.
The games I played tonight were OK, but not amazingly breathtaking. Graphically they might as well been on Dreamcast, but everyone knows this system isn't for eye candy. Waiting 6-12 months for better, more refined content is probably a good idea if you're thinking of buying one, and don't have to have it right now. There's no killer app. at the moment from what I've read & played. In 6-12 months, it should have one.
