Holy crap, no.

I'm not going to believe that, it's just too good to be true. I'm not going to be let down again.

Must... erase... memory!

Thank God... Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones comes out this month. This is fake. I squashed this before I could get my hopes up.

it cant be real, I find the title to be terribly ugly, and Mario Party 7?? somehow I cant tell if thats a joke or not.

Matt from IGN now asserts that you will turn into a wolf.

"What I'm most intrigued by, however, is the wolf mechanic. Link changes into the beast."

EDIT: Better put that in spoiler tags in case it turns out to be true.

I expect more polish, more production values, and definitely some new gameplay elements...

Wait...what? More production values?

I didn't know the series was lacking in production values.

Oh wait! Unless, of course, she means voice acting.

And they seemed to be focused on the rumor of Link transforming into a wolf.

Am I the only one who doesn't like that idea? It just...I don't know.

Well, if they do have that in the game, I know they'll pull it off and make it fun...but as of now, going in, I don't like it.

EDIT: What the? Er...sorry about that.

The concepts in Majora's Mask didn't seem like they'd suit Zelda very well, but they did. This doesn't sound particularly appealing to me either, but I trust Aonuma to pull it off.

I don't usually keep up with IGN. I know Matt continually lied about talking to Silicon Knights. Does he do this often? In earlier mail bags he said he 'had a hunch' that you'd turn into a wolf. Or something. But now he's outright stating it.

Renny · « **Reply #1183 on:** May 14, 2005, 04:52:06 AM »

He also seems to think anything 'realistic' is, by default, gritty. No sah, he don't like his cornbread cartoony.

Artimus · « **Reply #1184 on:** May 14, 2005, 06:55:15 AM »

Matt is not an idiot and he praised the graphics in Wind Waker a lot. He does not call anything realistic gritty, and if anything he's one of the better self-proclaimed graphic whores out there. He gave WindWaker a 9.0 in graphics calling it: "Gorgeous. Whether you like the style or not, you have to appreciate the technique and technology. Huge world, detailed locales, beautiful animation and particles, all at 30 frames and in progressive."

Unlike the majority of IGN writers he actually has a concept of art direction. He thinks MP and RE4 are pretty much the best looking console games evah.

And how did he lie about SK? He's been talking about that interview for months.

mantidor · « **Reply #1185 on:** May 14, 2005, 07:58:11 AM »

hes not an idiot for that, hes an idiot for other things, like the stupid "die, Tingle, die" campain for instance, not to mention all the bitch!ng because the lack of voice acting, more production values? what the hell does that mean?

and I really doubt the wolf thing its true.

edit:

oh the one who mentioned the production values was Fran, who is a confirmed idiot, I mean: " The [boss battles] need to meet and exceed the kind of visceral experience that God of War recently delivered on.", LOL at least he admits thats superficial.

He kept on saying that he was going to go up to Canada for a weekend and get the real story. What really happened with Silicon Knights. That was several months ago, and it did not occur. Even after the video interview it hasn't really happened. If he realised he couldn't get much because all parties were under confidentiality contracts, he should have said so and dropped the 'just wait a few more days!' tag.

I didn't call him an idiot.

That would be me

Maybe Im a bit too loud with my personal dislike for the man, but as much as I hate to admit it, IGN is one if not the most popular video game site around, and Matt's journalism is hurtful for Nintendo, it really is. I dont want him to pretend Ninty is still the king, but things like "cel.da" or "die, tingle,die" or the tons of "Nintendo is doom3d" editorials are honestly missleading. he has improved a lot though, I remember some time ago I was totally pissed off about the whole cube section in general and I just stop going there for news.

I've heard rumors that they have an official name for the new Zelda game. The rumors say that it's called "Twilight Princess". Personally, I think that name sucks, and I'm hoping it's nothing more than a rumor. But here's a so-called scan from Game Informer.

"Scan"

mantidor · « **Reply #1189 on:** May 15, 2005, 08:10:53 AM »

This has been discussed in the previous page, its a fake, I mean, a 2006 line up with Donkey Konga 2?

Artimus · « **Reply #1190 on:** May 15, 2005, 09:15:41 AM »

Unless it's a European Magazine.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #1191 on:** May 15, 2005, 09:28:05 AM »

When does DK2 come out in Europe?

MattVDB · « **Reply #1192 on:** May 15, 2005, 09:29:03 AM »

Couldn't they be meaning Jungle Beat 2? That is always a possibility. If it is a fake, whoever made it did a darn good job, that for sure.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #1193 on:** May 15, 2005, 11:51:48 AM »

No, it's not a possibility because of the 'a' in Donkey Konga.

Game Informer is North American.

Their new cover mentions nothing about this: cover.

But Rick says it's real... so better start getting used to Twilight Princess anyway. I like it.

mantidor · « **Reply #1194 on:** May 15, 2005, 03:17:53 PM »

bah, I dont like it anyway. Maybe is a direct translation from the japanese title, I remember when I heard "Kaze no takuto" as the title I thought they'd come up with something generic like "the wind's baton" or the like so I was very glad to hear the title to be "the Wind Waker" because I really like how that sounds, so maybe the english title will sound better... in case its a direct translation... and in case this isnt fake, after having such great subnames for past Zelda titles Id be dissapointed about this one...

Arbok · « **Reply #1195 on:** May 15, 2005, 03:27:03 PM »

I hope to god that name isn't the one Nintendo picked, can't stand it.

Why couldn't they have just gone for "Legend of Zelda: Twilight"?

Artimus · « **Reply #1196 on:** May 15, 2005, 03:36:20 PM »

The title is awesome. Twilight Princess is one of the best Zelda titles...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1197 on:** May 15, 2005, 04:29:57 PM »

Anyone who doesn't like it can line up for a punch in the gob...

Robotor · « **Reply #1198 on:** May 15, 2005, 05:20:55 PM »

Aw man, where does the line start?

Renny · « **Reply #1199 on:** May 15, 2005, 05:50:13 PM »

Right here. Come on, Bill. Bum me in the gob!

Sounds like the princess is doing some moonlighting. Not enough rupees in the bush for all those "skulltulas," huh Zelda?
