They seriously need to make a Wi-Fi Four Swords. 

I hope for this too, I wonder what other things they could add though o.o

Sorry for the bump, but thought I'd mention that Spirit Track's Storyline has been revealed, as well as some new gameplay footage shown.

All I have to say is that this "New Hyrule" is probably going to mess up the timeline even more, depending on what happens.

What? No mention of Ganondorf coming back, as a train?

I finally got the obscure 8-bit version of "Zelda: Triforce of the Gods" that was produced by the Chinese developer Waixing Computer Science.  I intend to do a full write-up on it sometime, but I have yet to beat it because of some changes to the game that make things harder to find, etc.

Triforce of the Gods was released as "A Link to the Past" outside of Japan for the SNES.  I ordered a Chinese, 8-bit version of the game (mainly for nostalgia and collector's reasons), and it's pretty good, though there are a few differences.

The Chinese version?  It's an 8-bit Famicom version of the SNES game.

Well, I have the actual game, and I'm going to post some detailed info in my gaming blog, but I've posted a little bit about it already.  I got the game off of TaoBao (from TaoBaoNow!), and maybe one day I'll dump it if I get the stuff I'd need to do that with.  We'll just have to see.

Hmm, all this stuff on Spirit Tracks here and no one mentioned the stuff Miyamoto & Iwata said on Zelda Wii? (Scroll plz.) I gotta say, it sounds wickedly ambitious. It also sounds like they're going to push the hell outta Motionplus with this one.

Well, Ganon Train is more important than Zelda Wii at the moment, that and I read that days ago already.

Posted on: November 06, 2009, 01:47:36 PM
Just wondering, does anyone have a clean version of the PAL/JP boxart? I wanted to use it as my desktop, but the one in the official UK site gets really pixelated.

Oh, and I'm betting that the sealed ancient evil in this game is Ganon, AGAIN.

Box art of what?  Spirit Tracks or something else?

Well, it was only a matter of time (hey, there's a LoZ subtitle) before Zelda was Link's partner.

But man, between Mario going into space for the fate of the universe and now Master Fairy/Zelda partner plots, I'm starting to think Nintendo's overdoing it!

Also, who else seems bewildered by their 'future' responses?

Were it me, I'd make the Wii last 7-8 years, wait for HD affordability and try out new IP's, then release a full 1080p/Blu-Ray/full online play w/ games and VC console.

It's interesting that you suggest that, because there has been talk for a long while now of a "Wii HD" system coming in 2010 or early-2011.  It's supposed to be backwards-compatible with the Wii and GC, upping the resolution and all.  Not sure what else to say about it, really, but you can look it up on Google and you should find some stuff about it.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again:

When are there *NOT* rumors floating around about a new Nintendo system?

Also on DeviantArt, Rumble, DLive.tv, and the Fediverse (@freespeechextremist.com and @bae.st)

Well Miyamoto and Iwata have pretty much canned the idea of a WiiHD.

Which means we're in for one heck of a ride considering they're not sure what to do about 1080p. They'd like Pikmin to be in it but not Wii Sports?

I mean, I get it, but why go through all that headache? Just make the darn thing output in 1080p, upscale previous games.

Uhh, not sure where this came from, but the last year or so the two of them have been kinda chanting that they now have to accommodate for HD in the future since a good percentage of folks have it now. Hell, the last month or so, the two of them have been fueling the rumor mill with their passive but frequent "HD is cool" comments. Seriously, wat is this? I don't even

Odds are that they won't make a Wii HD.  Instead, what they might do is make a new HD system, further down the line when more and more people have HD capable systems.  Despite sales, I don't think that HDTV's are yet as mainstream as everyone thinks they are.  I could be wrong though.  Either way, without an HDTV, one cannot enjoy the HD systems.  Maybe it'll be the HDii.  Who knows.

Well, I do even.

In the shareholder meeting notes (oh god, I can't believe I actually read them yesterday), HD is not denied, but it keeps getting sidestepped as does the idea of a second Wii.
Which is really all corporate lingo and mishmosh that ultimately means:

As per comment made by Reggie Fils-Aime. And believe me, he wants to know what he has to/will market.
