It would be the first SMART release Sega had in well . . . god I can't even remember their last smart release.

Adrock · « **Reply #676 on:** August 17, 2007, 07:53:25 PM »

Sonic and the Secret Rings gave Sonic some credibility back. It wasn't fantastic, but at least it wasn't punch-a-baby terrible.

And Nights: Journey into Dreams is (going to be) a smart release. I just bought Nights into Dreams on Sega Saturn and Sega would seriously have to go completely out of their way to make a bad sequel to that game. I mean, to the point of ignoring everything that made the original fun and good. The only thing I'm really worried about is what Nights is going to sound like. I'm expecting a female voice because Nights looks awfully effeminate despite the androgynous nature of the character.

Kingdom Hearts coming to the Wii!!??

Quote
The latest rumor on the street is that, the wii is going to be getting some Kingdom Hearts loving from its creators. The first ever Kingdom Hearts game will be announced for the Wii at this years Tokyo Game show.

The previous Kingdom Hearts games has been exclusive to the PS2 with a Gameboy version thrown in. The developers have already confirmed the game will be coming for the next gen consoles.

I've been expecting this, so I hope it comes true.
This will probably be followed by a FFXIII announcement at next years E3 too.
Its all falling into place now.

Not quite the same, but pretty darn close.

Agreed.

I want an iPhone because I want to be able to surf the web and send email from anywhere, not to play silly games which the DS is guaranteed to do a thousand times better.

Besides, these are different markets. If cellphone games haven't unseated the DS, why would iPhone games?

MaryJane · « **Reply #680 on:** August 26, 2007, 07:07:06 AM »

Also take into consideration that the iPhone costs $350-$450 more than the DS. The DS's lead is so overwhelming that I was blown away when the Wii sold more units than it last month, and only by a "few".

According to Gaming-Age.com, it appears that the pack in game for the Wii is going to be Link's Crossbow Training.

Lets hope that they are wrong and the pack in game is indeed Duck Hunt, cause then I would even be willing to pay slightly more.
But as far as "Link's Crossbow Training" is concerned, I don't think I need a Wii Zapper at all if thats what they are using to try and sell it to me.

Worst tie-in since Mario is Missing CONFIRMED

NeoGAF destroys the future.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #683 on:** September 09, 2007, 05:47:32 PM »

What's wrong with shootin' stuff with a crossbow? It could be pretty interesting if they had realistic bolt physics like travel time, gravity, and wind. You could get a feel for the physics shootin' bull's eyes before moving on to shootin' down weird flyin' creatures.

Mashiro · « **Reply #684 on:** September 09, 2007, 06:01:48 PM »

...wh....what the hell does a crossbow have to do with the Zapper?

It better be duck hunt come on Nintendo . . .

Since when does Link use a crossbow?

Michael8983 · « **Reply #686 on:** September 09, 2007, 06:26:51 PM »

I think it's likely to be a collection of mini-games with this crossbow thing being among them.
There will probably be a Duck Hunt-esque game as well. Also one featuring Mario.
As for Link using a crossbow. Maybe they're going to give him one in the NEXT game. It would be an interesting alternative to the usual bow and arrows.

HOGAN'S ALLEY OR DEATH

Michael8983 · « **Reply #688 on:** September 09, 2007, 09:06:00 PM »

I bet you the week of the Zapper's release we get "Dunk Hunt" and "Hogan's Alley" on the virtual console.
The week after, "Super Scope 6" and " Yoshi's Safari" too.

It's TOO obvious of a joke name, I can't believe this is real. if Nintendo wants to attract the casual crowd they would use "wiisports: archery edition", if they wanted to atract the hardcore, duckhunt would be the obvious choice. It really doesn't make a lot of sense.

Since when did Link ever use a Hookshot before LTTP? Since when did Link rode a horse before OOT? Since when did Link turn into a wolf before TP? What's wrong with Link having a slightly different version of an existing item? It's not like they gave Link a nuclear laser mecha suit to wear.

I don't mind 20 bucks for a free game. I'll take it for what it is, a nice little demo to go with my zapper. Although I admit the Wii Zapper doesn't exactly sound like the most well designed "gun" out of all the Nintendo guns from before.

Since when is a bundled-in spin-off canon?

"Since when is a bundled-in spin-off canon?"

Since when did Nintendo make bundled-in spin-offs of ZELDA? THAT'S my main objection. The fact that it sounds like a lame idea just adds to it.

Hah, you stole my joke. I actually had it typed out and then thought... "maybe I should read the rest of the thread first"... =P

It's a spoiler for the Wii LoZ game, I just know it!

And wouldn't "Cucco Hunt" be awesome?

I don't mind a cross bow being canon. A cross bow actually does fit into the Zelda universe. You guys are acting like Nintendo suddenly made a Zelda game where Link took off his pants and slaps Zelda in the face with his man parts. Or... Link with a gun!

Kairon · « **Reply #699 on:** September 10, 2007, 10:43:07 AM »

Hasn't Zelda used crossbows before? Was that what she used in the Zelda comic in NP?
