Nintendo Gaming / Too Human Hype Thread!!!!!!!

If Dyack were to post here, I just know that I wouldn't have anything intelligent to say.  The guy is one of my heroes, and being on the same message board as him would drive me nuts.  It makes me weak knee-ed just thinking about it.

250,000 gamers have already pre-ordered the latest Zelda masterpiece before the official pre-sell program has even started.

A LEGENDARY OFFER: ZELDA CUBED

Eager Consumers Jump Start The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Pre-Sell Program. The wait is almost over.

  REDMOND, Wash. - Feb. 13, 2003 - On Feb. 16th, Nintendo of America Inc. kicks off the official pre-sell program for the eagerly awaited Nintendo GameCube game, The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker®.

Designed with the overwhelming interest of gamers in mind, zealots of Zelda get a double-dose of their favorite franchise to keep them busy until the March 24th launch of the new Zelda adventure. With a deposit at any participating retailer, consumers receive a limited-edition disk featuring two playable, full-length games originally for the Nintendo® 64: the award-winning The Legend of Zelda®: Ocarina of Time®(a) and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest - an updated version of the game never released outside of Japan. Consumers get all three games for a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $49.95, while supplies last.

Already, more than 250,000 gamers have reserved their copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker before the official pre-sell program has even started.

"This truly is Zelda cubed! Two impressive Zelda games, leading to the highly anticipated new Zelda adventure, for the price of one and only for Nintendo GameCube," says George Harrison, senior vice president, marketing and corporate communications, Nintendo of America Inc. "What better way to celebrate the forthcoming release of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker than to give Zelda fans a collectors item that will provide a nostalgic or for some, a classic introduction to the series."

The latest in The Legend of Zelda® series is an epic adventure that will have the character Link sailing the high seas and searching for clues to his sister's mysterious disappearance. The game is brought to life with incredible toon-shaded visuals and a unique facial animation system. Link's eyes not only show his emotions, but also provide hints and spot danger, inspiring a sense of wonder in players of all ages. Using the Wind Waker, Link learns to compose songs that control wind patterns and even summon cyclones. Connect the Game Boy® Advance, via the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable, and players can summon the mapmaker Tingle to uncover hidden secrets to help Link in his voyage.

Too Human is a game that Silicon Knights (Creators of Eternal Darkness), have had on their plate for years.  Considering how much I loved Eternal Darkness, I have nothing but high expectations for this game.  It's definately VERY high on my most wanted list.

General Gaming / E3 2003 Floor Space?

« on: February 01, 2003, 11:52:07 PM »

I just searched through the maze of a website that the E3 website is, and I can't find any info on how much floor space each developer has this year.  IIRC, Nintendo had the most last year, and I am curious if it's the same this year.  Does anyone have any maps of the LA Convention Center for this year yet, or is it too early?

Nintendo Gaming / GameCube's Appeal to the Teen Audience

« on: February 01, 2003, 12:38:25 AM »

I don't think it's Nintendo's fault.  They didn't do this to themselves, and it's not like they have been forgetting about the older gamers.  I am perfectly content with the amount of games on GameCube, and the quality.  I can't afford to keep up as it is.

I don't know what they have to do differently, and I don't know what they should do to fight this, but it just isn't fair.

Nintendo Gaming / w00t. First Topic Ahoy.

GREAT new forums.  Two thumbs up from me.

Anyways, I have to say that I have no complaints at all about Nintendo's 2003 lineup.  Sales be damned, GameCube is the best console since the SNES.  Average Joe must be convinced of that though.  I think that's where we come in.
