Title: Zelda for NDS confirmed! Awesome...
Post by: Gamebasher on March 26, 2004, 02:44:26 AM
Here is the link to one of the best newsstories I have read in a long time:

Link: http://spong.com/detail/news.asp?prid=6384

Zelda for NDS!!!!!!!!!!!

I really nolonger have any doubts about its success! Because a lot of the owners of the GBA will be guaranteed to buy it when they hear this!

It is Eiji Aonuma himself who confirmed it, so it´s deadsecure.

Imagine Zelda, with the touchscreen on a hendheld and with the wireless connection to other players...

The PSP suddenly looks a lot less attractive, doesn´t it? But I always trusted that Nintendo would not dissapoint us...and now that Miyamoto has his hands free to do only the big titles (for GCN and NDS) I believe that it can only go up and up and up for mighty Nintendo.

Big Boos Merry Go Round...Booh SONY!!!

"i can hardly wait to pull those levers. w00t."

For sure.  I know that I always though the old Zelda games sucked because I couldn't pull the levers myself.  I want to able to light the fuses for the bombs too.  Let's use the Boktai sun sensor to indicate heat to light the bombs!

I REALLY hope that there's more innovation in Zelda DS beyond that.  Miyamoto seems to have a problem lately with designing his games around innovative ideas that no one cares about.  I don't think ANYONE would buy a game just so they could pull levers themselves.

It's sounds that Nintendo plan to show 3 Zelda titles this year E3 ... One for each console - Wind Waker 2, A new Zelda game for the GBA which is in development by Capcom and one for the DS.

I cant wait anymore #@#$^@$%&$*#@!$@#^%$

On that note, when does N plan to show a NEW zelda game for the GBA.  We're long over due, when did Oracles come out again? Not even on GBA, on GBC?  No new Zelda on GBA?

IanSane,  I agree with you that Miyamoto has had problems lately with his "innovative ideas" and really hope that he wont mess up with the new Zelda on NDS. But what can we do, if he does? Will anybody ever be able to make Nintendo listen to us and what we want? And will Nintendo perhaps "sink to hell" in Yamauchi-sans own words if they don´t listen? I really am thinking it is a serious issue, because so many already complained over Wind Waker kiddy graphics and huge monotonous ocean (many want Epona 2 and a field instead of a darn ocean) and the innovative but many times highly frustrating Super Mario Sunshine.

Now he´s at work on only the high profile titles, so I guess we can hope that he will deliver this time or has he perhaps grown old and tired? Whatdayathink??

Yes, he spoke of it at GDC 2K4.  But nothing's been confirmed, as far as I know; he just shed the light on the upcoming DS, saying that it would open new possibilities.  That's almost definitely a "Yes," but we knew it was coming anyway.

Well we can not buy the game.  It's not like we have to buy every Nintendo game ever made.  If you don't like the direction Nintendo takes with one of their games just don't buy it.  For example I wasn't happy that Nintendo didn't give us a Mario title at launch so after I heard that Luigi's Mansion wasn't on par with past launch titles I didn't buy it.

I will buy it, because the Zelda games are pure genius...You're being pretty damn critical when you don't think Miyamoto should develop his series the way he wants to...

I really hope that wasn't your only reason, because that has to be one of the most pathetic reasons for not buying a game I've ever heard. First off, there's the simple fact that you ignored Luigi's Mansion because it wasn't a Mario game. Secondly there's the point that instead of playing the game yourself, you based your purchase (or rather lack there of) on other people's opinions. And lastly there's the idea that you didn't play the game because it wasn't on par with past launch titles. Excuse me, but in my opinion, and I think most people here will agree with me, Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario World, and Super Mario 64 are all some of the finest videogames ever to have graced this industry- to not even consider the purchase of Luigi's Mansion simply because it wasn't as good as 3 of the best games ever made is downright pathetic.

I doubt it will look like OoT. Aonuma noted that EAd were'nt thrilled by the OoT look, and only used the engine again because the N64 wasn't powerful enough to handle the toon-shading effects. Also, the most obvious way to use the second screen is to have it emulate something like the 'dark world' in ALttP. Two games that use the same Link are more likely to share graphical styles. My last point is that the DS just couldn't produce two screens of 64 quality graphics while maintaining a good battery life.

Exactly.  We're the consumer.  Nintendo is at our whim and not vice versa.  For the most part Nintendo's approach to games is great, but everyone misses once and a while.  Tell them they missed by not purchasing the game.

Let me again say that we are the consumer.  Games are pretty expensive so if people are saying that they didn't enjoy the game or it was to short, why buy it.  Why should someone have to work to enjoy a game?  A qualm I have with WW but that is off topic.  Anyway I'm pretty sure I heard Miyamoto himself say that Luigi's Mansion was a test for the controller because it used the Control and C-stick heavily.  Who wants to buy a test for the same price as a complete game?

I think every handheld Zelda from now on should look like LttP...I wouldn't even mind seeing console versions looking like FS+, but that's a different story...

And lastly there's the idea that you didn't play the game because it wasn't on par with past launch titles."

I didn't ignore because it wasn't a Mario game.  It IS a Mario game just not a Mario platformer.  The launch title I bought was Rogue Leader which isn't even a Nintendo game.  I also played the game ahead of time at a Cube demonstration in a mall (Canadian version of a Cube club) and I wasn't very impressed.  Later I rented the title and beat it in two days and had no desire to beat it again.  I felt ripped off that I paid for a week rental for it.  I'm very glad I never bought it.

As for the final reason I think that's a perfectly valid reason for not purchasing it.  When I buy a game I send a message to the publisher.  That message is "please make more games like this".  Therefore I don't buy a game if I don't want more games to be made like that.  I DON'T want Nintendo to make more short games with no replay value and I especially don't want them to be flagship titles for launch.  With the N5 I want a good satisfying game that I can enjoy for months.  It doesn't have to Mario.  It just has to be worth buying a new console for.  Luigi's Mansion doesn't fit that description.  For comparison's sake Halo was a good launch title, Super Mario Advance wasn't but Castlevania: Circle of the Moon was, and nothing from the PS2 launch lineup was.

Personally, I play any game I like, regardless of "sending a message to the developer". I won't buy games I don't like, and that's enough of a message. I will never not buy a game I like simply because I would have preferred something different and want to let the developer know that. That's got to be the stupidest reason ever. If you honestly didn't like the game, or felt it wasn't worth the money, that's great, but don't start with this "message" bull$#!+.

Give me a link to where Aonuma said that- it sounds like a bunch of fanboys thought it up to defend Wind Waker's graphical style.

Yeah and I DIDN'T LIKE Luigi's Mansion so I didn't buy it.  Seems like a good reason to me.

THen don't make up this stuff about how you want to send a message to Nintendo that they shouldn't have launched with a game like Luigi's Mansion- THAT'S a stupid reason.

They shouldn't have launched with a game like Luigi's Mansion and god I hope they got the message.  The game basically had a monopoly on what gamecube owners could buy in the first couple of weeks and it didn't do nearly as well as past Mario launch games or the sequel to Super Smash Bros.  What is the reason for that?

No, they shouldn't have, but I'm not going to ignore the game BECAUSE of that. I'm a gamer, I play games- I don't let politics get in the way.

Post by: Ocarina Blue on March 28, 2004, 06:57:58 PM
Yes, I was referring to something in Aonuma's speech in GDC. My quote was inaccurate, sorry. It went something like: "With the next game [Majora's Mask], we had a groovin' graphical style we were exploring, but found the N64 couldn't handle the jandal, so we made WW and were happy with it." What Miyamoto has said in previous interviews is the notion of realistic characters being unable to move fluidly through their surroundings without an very hight graphical power - power that exceeds what the GC can handle. My bad.

What's this about wishful thinking? I have no predudices towards either of the graphical styles.
Title: RE:Zelda for NDS confirmed! Awesome...
Post by: mouse_clicker on March 28, 2004, 07:10:20 PM
I'm just saying that's what it sounds like- it implies that Miyamoto never wanted Zelda to go the direction OoT and MM took it, and only made those games because the N64 couldn't handle Wind Waker's graphical style, which I think is total crap. I think Miyamoto had every intention of making OoT in the style it was, and possibly used the style again because his vision for the next Zelda game wasn't possible yet. I know Miyamoto has said ultrarealistic characters are very difficult to make look good without incredible power (although I thought the SW2K demo was incredible enough), but I don't think that means Miyamoto has completely forsaken a realistic style.

That's the message I was talking about.  Ian said he played LM.  I played LM.  We both didn't like it.  We both didn't buy it.  The "message" I'm talking about is the message of collective sales hits when compared to past games.  I want a Nintendo exec. to look at the numbers and say there are GCNs out there but consumers have stopped buying Pokemon 56 Tiedie edition and 'Mario washes the dishes'.  Recently it seems to me that Nintendo slaps a franchise on a mediocre game and present it to us.  I see quality slipping and am becoming displeased.  I hope this Zelda comes through.

Mouse_clicker - why are you so darn rude with IanSane? He is right about what he says about sending a message to the publisher by not buying something which we think is crap! If everybody just let the developer and the publisher get away with whatever their whim was, we would be SLAVES of them and THEY would set the agenda and not us! It was the customer and not the vendor who had the final say, the last time I checked!

And I do agree with IanSane, that there should have been a Mario game at launch, and not a Luigi game. Everywhere I went on the internet after the launch of the gamecube, people complained about the lack of a Mario game at launch. The fact is that people in a majority likes Mario MORE than Luigi. Which also shows in the number of Mario games ever sold!!!!

Sorry, just thought you´re wrong on this one.

As for the whole OOT vs. WW graphics discussion, it was Eiji Aunouma who got the idea for toonshading, not Miyamoto! Aunouma proposed the idea to Miyamoto, who then went with it. This happened while they were creating Majoras Mask! Where did I read it? I think it was over at Computerandvideogames.com, but I am not exactly clear about it. One reads so much and it is difficult to remember at times where something was exactly. But here is a really cool link to a fantastic website caled Zeldalegends.net, where there is a specific interview with Miyamoto and Aonouma on Zelda OOT vs. Windwaker. It is a quite long interview, so read carefully and you will understand a lot (for instance they say that they don´t make such long games anymore, because the average gamer - read: MAINSTREAM gamer - don´t have time to play for as long as the hardcore gamer does and that will eventually show in the number of games sold as not everyone out there (far from it) is a hardcore gamer but a mainstream gamer!) Here is the link:

http://www.zeldalegends.net/text/interviews/transcript.php?filename=2002-12-04-ign-miya-aonu-twwsummit-2

I have not seen this many Zelda interviews in a long time...

I'm not being rude, I'm pointing out why I think it's stupid to not buy a game for the sole reason of "sending a message" that it was the wrong title to release at launch. If he honestly didn't like the game, okay then, but I got the distinct impression that the main reason he didn't even consider Luigi's Mansion was because it wasn't a classic Mario title.

In addition, what's the problem with me having my opinion on Ian's opinion, just as you're having your opinion on my opinion right now? You don't post your thoughts in a forum without expecting someone else to critique them, so it kind of surprises me that I get so much flack for doing just that.

Actually, Aonuma did...Sort of...

"With this new expressive quality [of 2.5d gameplay of The Four Swords Adventure], and with the upcoming release unique Nintendo DS system, I think we'll see more changes coming to the franchise, the likes of which we can talk more about at this year's E3, when we'll also talk about development with the Wind Waker 2."

Noone has ANY idea of the DS. The specs suggest N64-level graphics, which seems in line with the PSP, but nothing is really known. Wait until E3.

Proton,    that's your opinion.   Some people think Zelda 2: Adventure of Link was better than The Legend of Zelda.     There's really no one who can answer your questions but yourself.

By the way, I love how  your first question about the content of the game is its graphics.  -_-

Also sorry for any offense taken i did not intend to make fun of Zelda 2

Post by: Gamebasher on April 27, 2004, 06:03:47 AM
Mouse_clicker, you´re right about what you say above on how Miyamoto-sans intention to make OOT the way it was and not the other way which it is now. He even said recently, that he thought a lot of people would like to see a realistic Link the way he is shown in SC2!!

I think that we will eventually end up getting our hands on a realistic Zelda one day. Afterall, Nintendo will make it realistic when Link grows up and becomes an Adult Link, which Nintendo has said should not be depicted using the new style of graphics. The cell-shaded type of graphics are definitely not good for showing an adult Link as they are too kiddy to do the job. That´s my opinion.
Title: RE: Zelda for NDS confirmed! Awesome...
Post by: Bill Aurion on April 27, 2004, 07:07:18 AM
And I null the opinions of those who call toon-shading kiddy...Honestly, those who refer to an "adult Link" obviously never played a Zelda game before OoT...Link has ALWAYS been a kid...ALWAYS...The oldest he has ever gotten is in his teens, and he will never grow older than that...

As for a more realistic style, I personally don't care, because I know Ninty will make Zelda games fun just like they always have...

Bah, stupid Zelda newbs...
Title: RE:Zelda for NDS confirmed! Awesome...
Post by: Gamebasher on April 28, 2004, 05:26:31 AM

Post by: Kulock on April 28, 2004, 07:06:58 AM
I know he was "officially" young in the earlier games, but to be honest, he never looked that young in the character artwork in the manuals and such. Yes, his sprites were small, but everyone's sprites were small because the way the game was designed. That didn't mean he was a child. Otherwise, the wise man with a beard was actually just a kid with a facial hair problem. :P It's like how Small Mario in SMB didn't mean "child Mario," that was just how the game was designed and worked.

And then, of course, there is the much-malaigned Zelda 2: Adventures of Link... there were kids visible in that one, and Link certainly wasn't their height...

So I never really bought into all of the "Link was obvious a child from the get-go" talk, I always saw him as a sort of wide-eyed, quiet teen adventurer. Not _quite_ as serious as how he turned out in the Spaceworld demo and Super Smash Bros. Melee, but close enough. They're supposed to be Links from different generations, anyway, so I don't quite mind having to spend a game with one that's still young, but people arguing _every_ Link in every game was that age...
Title: RE: Zelda for NDS confirmed! Awesome...
Post by: Bill Aurion on April 28, 2004, 07:15:29 AM
You don't become an adult in our standards until you turn 18...What age is Link in OoT?  17...A kid doesn't doesn't need to mean pre-teen...So by what I follow, Link has always been a kid...
Title: RE: Zelda for NDS confirmed! Awesome...
Post by: Ian Sane on April 28, 2004, 07:27:57 AM
The first Zelda game I ever played was A Link to the Past and at the time I never assumed Link was a kid.  I figured he was a teenager between 13 and 15.  He was young but not a child.  His small sprite was just the style of the game.  For example in the opening cutscene to Link's Awakening he clearly is not a child.

In fact when I first saw Ocarina of Time I was caught off guard by the fact that Link was initially potrayed as a child.  I didn't have an N64 at the time and really wasn't paying too much attention to gaming news so the first time I saw footage beyond commercials was when I saw my friend's brother playing it.  I asked "why is he a kid in this game?" and the guy playing said that he initially thought it was weird too but that according to the manual he grows up later in the game.  Until the N64 games were released everyone I ever knew who had played a Zelda game assumed Link was a teenager.

I have and will always consider the Wind Waker style to be a departure from the original design.  That doesn't mean that game isn't really pretty and artistic but it's certainly different.  I have no problem with one or two games using that design but it certainly shouldn't be the standard.  I don't think a very realistic Zelda should be the standard either since that is also a departure.  It's worth a shot too but if there is to be a standard it should be somewhere in between like all the other Zeldas are.

Post by: KDR_11k on April 28, 2004, 09:07:00 AM
I assumed Link was a kid, because IIRC he got addressed as such. Might have been another game, though, and I'm mixing memories again, since many Nintendo games are geared towards children (I take that hint from the way they address the player in the manual, doesn't work in english since it doesn't differenciate between formal and informal you) and you often play a child.
I mean, it's normal for anime (and adventure or RPG) heroes to be 17 at most, even Final Fantasy follows that rule.

Dang, the game that finally made me buy a GameBoy Color was Zelda DX. As much as I like other games, Zelda is the series that I enjoy and respect, since each game always offers something worthwhile, and usually is so much fun. I don't know how many times I have replayed Ocarina or Link to the Past, but it sure is a lot. With the DS, Nintendo can take Zelda in so many new directions. Sure, you could bump-map Link's clothing, or maybe make the Master Sword look better, but how long does that last? With the DS, I think Zelda's "Zeldaness" will only be better. I know I could have used two screens for Link to the Past.
