I haven't heard about Tetra's Trackers coming to the U.S. yet so if it doesn't end up happening I think that would be cool. Another thing I'd like is if they made a history of Zelda documentary with interviews (I don't know if they did anything like this already in the Zelda Bonus Pack for buying a GC). Finally it would be cool if they included either a making of for any of the series titles and/or a collection of artwork with maybe some never before seen pieces. Oh lol and if they gave a piece of paper where you could order the cartoon episodes with (I dunno who actually owns the rights to distribute it but it wouldn't be a hassle to do it most likely).
I don't expect all of these things, I don't expect infact anything for preorder, I just state them as some ideas I think would be cool. Share your own.

I think pre-sales of this game will top Wind Wakers and it will become the most pre-ordered game of all time.

I know they suck and all, but it would be entertaining just to finally be able to say ALL the Zelda games are playable on the Cube.

with the following titles on the disc:
Mario Tennis (I say this because the first MT was developed by Nintendo for VBoy unless you count Mario being the linesmen in earlier non "Mario" Nintendo Tennis titles)
Excitebike 64
F-Zero GX
Starfox '2'
Advance Wars GC
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2
(all the titles I forgot)
Ofcourse the disc would have to just be a coupon saying will be mailed to you in a couple of years because many of the titles are too recent.
Just kidding

After reading Penny-Arcade´s Nintendo E3 rant, I think that Donkey Kong Jungle Beat should include Punch out and Super Punch Out. That would be awsome.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
and
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Moon Quest, which is a remixed version of MM. If MM was already dark and twisted and confusing for you with the time element, imagine what sick horrors Nintendo have in store for you with MQ.

In my area there is no practical need to pre-order anything. I walked in and bought a GBA on a whim at launch without any pre-order and I even got to choose the colour. There are virtually no rare Cube games. Ikaruga, Cubivore, Skies of Arcadia Legends, even the Zelda Collector's disc have been readily available in stores in my area since they came out. I live in an area with a good sized population that for some reason is not that interested in games.I like to buy my games from a local chain. They have a great selection of both new and used titles and they always have the lowest prices. Plus the staff is really cool and never pushes ANYTHING on the customers. However they don't take pre-orders because they want people to be able to walk in and buy a game at release instead of missing out because everything was pre-ordered. I like that idea but it screws me when it comes to pre-order incentives so in situations like Wind Waker I have to go to EB who a. charges nearly ten dollars more for new games, b. only knocks three bucks off of used titles, and c. pushes strategy guides and GMR subsriptions on me. In other words I hate giving them my business but when Nintendo offers something major as a pre-order incentive I have no choice since the only other places that pre-order in my area are Wal-Mart and Toys 'R' Us and I sure as hell don't trust THEM to give me the free bonus disc I'm entitled to.
Personally I don't think this new Zelda even needs a pre-order bonus. Wind Waker was getting a lot of criticism for it's looks, even from longtime Zelda fans, so including the unreleased Master Quest was a great way to build interest. Here they don't NEED anything extra to build interest. All they have to do is release a video preview on a DVD, give it out for free at stores and have stores run it on a screen in a loop, and nearly everyone who sees it will buy the game.
Edit: Here's another idea. They could pull a ZOE and include the Zelda demo with another game. Sneaky but since most Nintendo games are worth buying anyway I don't have a problem with it. It could boost sales of another game (like Fire Emblem?) and would be a good way to test how interested people are in it.

They should have that for anyone who preorders Tales of Symphonia, TOS would certainly get a boost in sales!

Ian, did you try getting the stuff at launch day? I got preorder stuff from my local retailer that way. Now I have the OOT disc, a GBA-GC cable (from FFCC) and a Viewtiful Joe shirt.

Doesn't work. They usually just sell the extra stuff. It's great if you want the Zelda bonus disc without getting Wind Waker but since I planned on getting both per-ordering from EB was cheaper than buying both seperately.

Actually, considering Link's new sexy factor and the overall amazingness of all things zelda, I could really go for a Zelda action figure. Maybe even a "My Size Zelda" complete with Triforce of Wisdom blasters.

Erm, that's the standard anime-to-high-detail-3d style. Of course it looks weird, that's why it works mostly only with lowpoly (i.e. you just paint the face on a low detail representation of the head) or people go with realism instead (see Soul Calibur, Final Fantasy and almost any other "realistic" game made in Japan, apparently they sketch in anime style no matter what). Anime just doesn't work in reality.
Hm, with a realistic LoZ the characters are probably more realistic, too, so don't worry...
Post by: PaLaDiN on May 28, 2004, 04:09:53 AM
I mean, that's the only realistic thing I can think of that would make me vaguely happy.

Shiggy: Funny story, I was out in my garden one day, when I took the time to notice all the little bugs and bits of bird crap that had dried in the sun. I thought to myself, this green and brown blob could be a HERO that would save an uptown girl. So I got on my Amiga 500 and played some Bump 'N' Jump. Then had a shower and went out for dinner with the Super Mario Club.
Dude:... Uh, sir? Zelda?
Shiggy: A-what? No she is mine, this interview is over.

Judging by Capcom's blatant disregard for storyline consistency in the Oracle games I imagine that Minish Cap will exist by itself like Capcom's other Zelda titles. I regard EAD's Zelda titles as the "official" story and Capcom's titles as original stories that use the Zelda characters. Otherwise you get into all sorts of weird stuff like why Malon and Talon live in Holodrum and have never met Link before.
I like the video idea though. It may not be necessary if the new Cube Zelda game continues with that story but it's a really cool idea.
How about they finish the missing dungeons in Wind Waker and include them in an "expansion pack" that you get when you preorder? Essentially the disc would just contain a couple of dungeons that exist entirely on their own. You select the dungeons from a menu screen and your character automatically comes equiped with the required items.
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 01, 2004, 07:22:58 AM
The expansion pack thing sounds cool, though what will probably happen is that the ideas for the missing dungeons will be blended into the new game... :\

That's such a load of crap. Who would even know if they sucked or not? Only Miyamoto and everyone else who worked on WW would even know what those two dungeons were like, and I seriously doubt Miyamoto would have said they sucked.
In fact, Miyamoto has said that they simply didn't have time to finish them, and he even said he would like to use them in the next Zelda title.

It would be nice to see what these were going to be. It would also be nice to see some of the original ideas for OOT (using elemental medalions to charge any item) implemented.
