Everything right down to the sound effects is reminiscent of ALttP. Although Link's voice acting is pretty obviously recycled straight out of Phantom Hourglass. Ah well, they'll probably have fixed that.

*sigh* I really should get back to that game. I never got past the third dungeon.

Heh, I had no problem with the controls in PH or Spirit Tracks. I just found the game way too easy and tedious in certain parts.

Phantom Hourglass was a cakewalk. Spirit Tracks had me really frustrated in some parts though, particularly the later dungeons. I consider the two to be their own Oracle of Ages/Seasons. Like how Ages was more combat oriented and Seasons was more puzzle, PH is more combat and ST is more puzzle.

I take it back.

Downloaded the 3D trailer from the eShop and it looks/sounds amazing. I still want to know the replay value though.

How does it handle?

Speaking of funny, 4 more hours in SoulSilver and I'll be at 100 hours in that game. If you add up that plus the original Silver, I have played 700 hours in Johto! 

Lol, I have like fifteen hours to hit 100 in Platinum. I used to play it so much that when I finally booted up the game and looked at my time in it, I stared at it for a good five minutes then said out loud "How the [tornado fang] did I clock 86 hours in this?"

But unfortunately both mine and my brother's DSs have been broken for a couple months so no Pokemon Platinum, Spirit Tracks, or MMZ Collection for me. :<

Actually, they don't. You can swap them for left handed controls.

Because I played Phantom Hourglass once. And I didn't care for those controls.

There are buttons for a [tornado fang]ing reason, gimmick control schemes are stupid.

But yeah, this doesn't look to have touch screen controls.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
Calling the touch screen controls gimmicky is like calling an analog stick gimmicky. In fact, PH and ST had the best touch controls the DS had to offer. (ST even improved them by getting rid of that stupid rolling technique in favor of a quick double tap.) I found it way easier just using the buttons to pop up menus or quick-select an item rather than having to access all that from the touch screen.
Oh well. Different strokes for different folks.


Anyways, yeah. You can't tell very well from the video but Link's movement from a touch screen would be a little jumpier. It'd be cool if they gave you the option to switch though.

But I'm really hoping for no Touch Controls.

why

It looks like the circle pad is being used to control Link.
Anyways, I'm not entirely impressed yet. I guess I'd need to see a little bit more.

Wasn't the headcrabs as much as the fast zombies. Of course now that I've played a few times there's no fear. But now I'm trying to get Zombie Chopper and there's fear again.

Bioshock is more of an atmospheric thriller than a straight up horror game. After all, its pretty hard to be scared of enemies when you strut around with ten different weapons at your disposal and can shoot fire, electricity, ice, and [tornado fang]ing hornets out of your hands.

Yeah man but first time I went through Ravenholm I had six different weapons and grenades and I was freaked.

BioShock Infinite just arrived at my doorstep. And it's the PS3 version, so I get the first BioShock game as well.

You will not be dissapoint. Trust me.

I'm playing the first BioShock too right now. It's not nearly as scary as I expected.

I still don't know why they removed it from the localized versions...

also in terms of spinoffs, there's also Link's Crossbow Training that was bundled with the Wii Zapper (and from the reports I've heard worked better without that peripheral than with it, hilariously enough)

I always thought it was issues with the voice acting.

I guess, but again that was more Twilight Princess minigames. ._.
