Anyways, then the gameplay started, and it was...wierd. LIke, it wasn't just "hit A to swing", but when you entered combat, each button was mapped to a different sword stroke, i.e. A was thrust, B was downward swing, X was up and to the left, and Y was up and to the right.
Of course, when I woke up, I was all disappointed, but it was still really cool having that "I finally have Zelda" feeling in my dream.
Anyways, whaddya think of the control scheme? A portent of things to come? Or just dream logic?

Maybe, if you take it less literally. It could mean that there will be several ways for you to accomplish the same goal in the future. Or maybe the control scheme, with one action reduntantly tied to several buttons, is indictive of the fact that one game (Zelda) is reduntantly tied to several neural pathways in your brain. In other words, you could be thinking about Zelda too much.

I had weird dreams while I was awake recently, about Killer 7. I'd think abuot the story and what was happening, then sort of dose off... but not asleep, then i'd suddenly get a falling sensation, like I just fell over but then I realise i'm just lying down, and i'm like "whoa". It happened a few times.
I had a dream recently where I was in Japan for some reason, I saw Miyamoto and said hi, and that I was a huge fan of Pikmin 2, he grinned then he asked me a crucial question! "Should we make Pikmin 3 or something new?" I had no idea, I didn't answer but he lead me to this Nintendo building where they were working on both, Pikmin 3 looked exactly the same as Pikmin 2 and the new game was just black and white shapes, then I woke up.

I had a rev dream semi-recently. I don't know whether to post it here or bump animecyberrat's thread.

I was in a carriage with Iwata and Miyamoto. In the middle of a HUGE world with forestry and mountains in the background and fields and all. Turns out I was actually inside the Pikmin world, with them all around and completely contrasting the realistic world.. And apparently I was actually getting a tour of the virtual Pikmin world that Nintendo developed. In fact, Iwata mentioned that he "developed" that forest in the background himself. I think I said something about how nice it looked, and he acted like his usual modest self.
It's really weird that those are my only two Nintendo dreams ever - I would have thought there would be a lot more.

i was on a plane and i guess it had to do some kind of emergency landing becuase all of a sudden its trying to touch down on a freeway, except its on the wrong side!!! if you think thats crazy it gets worse..
now i can see everything happening from the planes perspective as its going down towards all these oncoming cars and their all scrambling to get out of the way. things are fine for about a second and a half when one car crashes into another, who hits another knocking it in front of a truck that swerves to avoid it but isntead tears one of the wings off the plane. it swurves again in the other direction and t he truck bed turns wide and crashes into the side of us. its total chaos with explosions and cars crashing and being turned over.
then on the lanes shoulder there was a policeman pulling someone over. in slow motion i saw all of tihs happen;
an suv was knocked off the road and into the policemens car but no one was inside, then another car toppled over and crushed one of the officers as the family began to run off and save themselves. at this point i have no idea whats up with the plane but i keep seein all this massive destruction. i saw a motor cycle veer offroad and run over a little girl and her brother then explode as the father was trying to pull them out from under it. the man ran burning, screaming into traffic to be hit by more oncoming cars and the mother kept running. then the other police officer from before came out of no where and tackeld her to the ground screaming at her "YOU KILLED HIM IT WAS YOUR FAULT". then some other explosion, not sure from where, burned his face and i woke up.
am i crazy?

As for video games, my dreams about them usually involve being inside them somehow. I'll be playing the game as if I'm actually the hero. Sometimes it's fun, other times it's like, "$(^*$!@!! Get me away from this 3-story high monster!"
Post by: KnowsNothing on April 24, 2006, 09:41:50 AM
The first one was with Miyamoto. For some reasons I was his best friend, and also a pilot! I was flying Miyamoto to his winter home (which looks exactly like my friends house...coincidence?!?!?). Anywho I crashed in his backyard and was pretty freaked out, you know having PROBABLY KILLED MIYAMOTO and stuff. But he was alive. And smiling. Always smiling. We went into his house and he took out the trash with a huge creepy grin. I said wow.
Then I had a Rev dream. I got a Rev for my birthday and was pretty excited, what with the Rev not being out an all. I was worried about the games though. I got the Rev early, but were any of the games finished? YES! I got two games, both first person shooters LOLOLOL. But what! Nup! These were PS2 games with "Revolution" in the title! Whoops! I think I cried a little because my parents were so stupid. That was just about when the controller turned into cardboard and the console grew into immense proportions and folded itself into a giant laptop that said "DARE" on it. Then the dream turned into a weird "naked at school" type thing except I was really hawt so I didn't care!
The end!

Oh and there was this one time I've dreamt that I could turn into Chuck Norris through pure willpower and roundhouse kick a talking lion. Dunno, that was quite cool.

Actually, I've had my brain on other things. Mainly the two Jim Butcher novels about to be released and Hellblazer. So I was weirded out cause I've been kinda not thinking about the fact that Zelda might not come out til October.
And when I said portent, I meant "The future of the Zelda franchise", not for me personally.
JEEZ.

I was inside a rev game, looking out of a glass door, admiring the graphics. The city outside looked so real, thought I. Amazing that they would put so much detail into a non-interactive part of the game. With the increased ability of the rev controller, I could even push on the door a little to confirm it was locked.
...but maybe I could somehow slip through anyway. With some concentration, I found a glitch and was able to slide through the door. I was outside. I looked around in the bright sunlight: concrete floor, staircase, buildings. Everything looked real, no graphical glitches. But I wasn't supposed to be there. I spotted a group of people wearing surgical masks running towards me. They were wearing surgical masks to hide the fact that they had no mouths.
...Thinking fast, I pushed off from the ground and soared into the air. They gave chase, but, lacking the ability to fly, they didn't really have a chance. I could even stop off for a jumbo-sized sandwich, and eat it as I flew around; looking for the building I was originally in.
...Then I woke up. Freakily enough, when I checked PGC, I learned that Germany had banned all current and future sales of DS and Revolution games (the US hadn't taken any action). It seems that a piece of code, related to a 'communication protocal' or something (I don't quite understand this, but think it might be related to the wi-fi connection), was causing some trouble. It was present in some DS games and all Revolution games. It had a subconscious effect on those playing… after playing, some would go to sleep and never wake up.
...I wondered, had I been affected? If the people wearing the surgical masks had caught me, would I have been trapped in my dreams forever?
...Then I woke up.

i do remember a nintendo dream i've had before. it was a few days before that crazy one i posted, it was about Mario Kart DS
it was simple, i was laying in bed with my DS and just somehow got connected to the wifi service and played agaisnt the world. it was awesome. (by the way i havent played wifi yet, thats what made the dream so special.
and this sounds random but speaking of cardboard (knowsnothingss post), my gf tried to buy me the NES-edition GBSP for our anniversary off of ebay and some dude sent her the box with some cardboard inside and a note apologizing for ripping her off and how he needed the money for an operation for his kids...how F-ed up is that?

I think it's roughly equal parts Megaman: Battle Network (actually Network Transmission, I've never played BN), Megaman Legends, Metal Slug 3 (the shot button mashing) and standard anime classroom. Okay, I think the gameplay was mostly Megaman Legends.
*= I think I've used Windows too much. My dreams have bugs now, I've even had to reboot one dream twice.

I recently had a dream about playing Halo with a friend. Actually, we were going to play it but we never actually got to his house. The weird thing is, he doesn't even like Halo. Wha? Maybe he was purposely taking his time getting home.

But the really weird dream I had was a mix of HR Giger works(I bought a book recently) and the Metroid Universe, when I woke up I couldnt remember it very clearly, but thats probably a good thing. just search for mister Giger work, the stuff of nightmares... but its so calm and beautiful at the same time, really freaky

I had a dream bout Zelda last night. I was playing it with a Radio-Shack type Universal Remote (in anticipation of playing with the Wiimote, I imagine.) Had to get Link to talk with this woman who was running about, and magically changing back and forth between two female forms. Control was really hard, I had to move link with the remote's arrow keys, but I finally caught her. And when I did, she wiggled inside Link (Yeah. Freud would have a field day with that one.) Once inside, she gave Link the power to open a hidden passageway. The passageway lead to a sidequest, which struck me as a subtle spoof of Lord of the Rings....there was a ring and a giant spider, anyway. I realized fighting the giant spider would be impossible with a crappy universal remote, so I feverently pushed the buttons, looking for the one that doubled as a pause button. I finally found it and paused the game, then went to get an N64 controller.
Weird.

It was small. The system itself was no bigger than one DVD case, and the remote was a little bigger than say a stick of gum. It came with two games, Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Attack Festival or something. I played Mario Kart, it wasn't fun. I don't even think the remote did anything.

I was playing Mystical Ninja only it really starred Mystikal. The controls were terrible, but I just liked licking my Wii for some reason. I think I'm traumatized.

I was walking down what seemed like a pretty normal block of a pretty normal-looking sub-urb. I keep walking, enjoying the smell of the summer air as I continue. I start to notice that I haven't seen a single person or car this entire time. Either way, I start to cross the street and a huge Semi comes out of nowhere! I feel this intense anxiety, just like one must feel right before they die. I was scared and all I could do was scream and brace for the hit.....
All the sudden, I am lying face up in a huge grassy field. The trees line the horizon. As I gaze up into the star-lit sky, I hear a deep tremble, like an intense amount of bass. I stand up and look at the moon. It didn't look right. I don't know what was wrong with it, but it just wasn't right.
It was a beautiful night. The stars were so bright. But something started to happened.....The whole sky started to rotate. It spun faster and faster till everything had trails and had become a blur. Then a cloud appeared out of nowhere and formed the shape of an evil smily face. It starts to laugh a very deep demonic type laugh.
Then I saw an explosion in the distance, and then the world ends....
That's when I wake up.
Pretty f#cked up right?

icecold was close too...
that whole dream symbolizes your excitement towards e3 and the bombshell that is Wii. everything looked normal and calm but nintendo's huge semi came out of nowhere and hit you because reggie was behind the wheel and he's done taking names. he's ready for action. the second that reggiefied semi hit you, you were knocked into nintendos blue ocean strategy where everything was blurred because they blur the lines between traditional games and non-games to destroy the world as we know it. the day after the coming of Wii will be a new age, one that can only come if former misconceptions and prejiduce from nongamers towards video games and the players is destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up. it is an age where all races, all creeds, all sexes will come forth and worship Wii.

As for wandering, if you remember correctly, one of the previews for TP did have a scene where link was in some cave running from a giant spider, so maybe thats where you got it from.
Yeah, I remember I did think, when a batch of TP screens were released, that alot of stuff seemed Lord of the Rings derived...
