Suddenly, an amazing idea:

(Actually, could just as likely be the young girl being a human manifestation of his sword...)
[...]
What if the robe is analogous to the sword's sheath. Could also explain why she's positioned on his back.
[...]
Yeah, that's what I was going for, and the more I think about it the more it feels like this will be the case...We've had fairies, a ship, Link's hat, Link's shadow (not technically, but Midna fits that billing), now all that is missing is the sword partner!
[...]
Not to mention her pointed frame... Her head could be the handle and the bottom the tip.
[...]
possible. i still like my theory (hope) that it's because this Link won't get a Master Sword because he won't be able to defeat Ganon (please).

another idea is that it's Link's charge to protect in this game. a sword is a largely offensive weapon, and if Link is the role of the shield, like for this girl, a shield would be what defines him. and thus his purpose in the game.

Some genuinely interesting thoughts have been coming around from this small development. Your thoughts on it all RPM?

Also, apparently Spirit Tracks Link is awesome and taking lessons from Indiana Jones with his use of a whip. It's gotten so many positive responses so far from people playing the game on the show floor.

Gaming / More Zelda Info, or WHERE IS LINK'S SWORD! :O

This [parasitic bomb] just got real.

Especially these snippets:

IGN: At your developer roundtable this week, you showed off a single piece of artwork from the next Wii Zelda game. This piece of art has not yet been released publicly, but we noticed that Link appears to have grown to full adulthood. He looks older than he did in Twilight Princess. Is that a correct assumption?

Shigeru Miyamoto: Well, the story setting for this Zelda is, of course, in a completely different era and Link is older than he was previously. More approaching adulthood. There is one hint. Maybe from the art work you can see that he's not holding a sword.

IGN: Has he lost his Master Sword?

Shigeru Miyamoto: [Laughing] I just wanted to make sure that you understand we are making it. That's all I'm going to say on that subject.

First off, from what I gather from my sources, this game is really going for the Majora's Mask/Link's Awakening angle where Aonuma & Shiggy are departing from most norms for something radical. Secondly, there's quite a bit of watercolor art in play for the game itself. People are speculating whether or not this means the game will have a totally different watercolor look or if it's just concept art for concept art's sake. Finally, there's a massive speculation on who the new girl behind Link in the picture is. Some people claim that it's a distant Zora native, others think that it's some incarnation of the Great [child] Fairy from The Windwaker and still some others are saying she might have something to do with Midna.

Conclusion: this is crazy as [tornado fang] and we need more infos.

What, so TvsC doesn't have online play?

Do they expect TvsC to sell on just the C?

The updated PR which was in that link says Capcom is considering/working on online features for the game. Read it, there's good information there.

Bad news guys. The Tatsunoko vs. Capcom PR that released before confirming online got retracted due to being in error. The new PR says that Capcom is currently looking into online features and adding 5 new characters. Pray for a miracle!

But all three of them have multiple forms, some of which don't have torsos or a lower half.  You can't put tits on a disembodied head.

Wasn't someone going to put the announced games in the first post?  I only ask because it looks like nobody's touched it since Monday morning.

Wow PB, thank you for pretty much putting into words exactly how I felt in regards to this E3. I didn't think we would  get an E3 that could pretty much hit all the points from each one of the big 3. Microsoft wowed me with games that I never even thought I would consider interesting at one point, Nintendo was [tornado fang]ing Nintendo (the magnificent bastards) and even gave hints as to what our 2010 incarnation of Zelda would be like, and Sony, my God Sony delivered with the games.

Overall, I'm quite happy with what was shown and can't wait to get some of these things home to play.

All you need to know is that this guy has been going crazy for Zelda Wii to get a mention this E3, posts a ZELDA IS REVEALED!!!11! thread early, gets banned, then not even 15 minutes later Shiggy reveals it on stage. [tornado fang]ing glorious.

And can someone find out if the Miyamoto Presentation thingy can be seen anywhere? 1 hour and a half left. o.o;

Spaceworld since Nintendo pretty much doesn't show at TGS. Still what does that mean for the mystery slot on the E3 video site?
