Nintendo Gaming / Zelda Radio and Z Science, Gone but not forgotten.
« on: June 28, 2003, 12:55:45 AM »
While browsing some Zelda sites, I came across some sites that mentioned the illfated Zelda Radio and Z-science websites, two of the genius marketing strategies Nintendo did to make sure Majora's Mask was as successful as Ocarina of Time, which sadly, was in vain.
The sites aren't up anymore as of one year ago, but i've been browsing Webarchive and have found the oldwebsites, but stuff like the DNA Test and the movie clips from Zelda Radio seem to be lost forever.
A sad tale, I knew about Zelda Gaiden since its announcement. Somewhere along the way, I completely forgot, probaly when I got a Dreamcast, but I didnt know about the Majora's Mask thing until less than a month before the game actually came out, when someone posted a magazine ad, and nintendo.com put up the Majora's Mask site. And thus, missed all the commercials, commercials which, rank #1 among best Video Game advertisements EVER in my opinion, as well as those two websites. (Even though I heard stuff about Zelda Radio from message boards, but never really bothered to read it since it was after the game came out)
I'm just wondering is there ANY WAY to get Nintendo to put these sites back up? If not, is there anyone who had no life back in 2000 and mirrored everything?
You may say i'm suffering from Majora's Mask withdrawal, despite being my most favirote game ever, despite that I still listen to the soundtrack all the time, the fact that I still download stuff related to the game, I haven't played the game for almost two years. Except from one time about 2 months ago, but as far as i'm concerned I didn't play it this year, or 2002.
This may be against the rules or something to ask these kinds of things, but I'm just looking for hope that these sites have not been forgotten.
Sometimes I wish there was a way to actually go back in time to where I did follow the game since 1999.

Nintendo Gaming / Sonic Pinball Party is out.. so I guess i'll make a.. TALKBACK)
« on: May 31, 2003, 02:17:52 PM »
If you're not sure about getting Pinball Party, I can say you can expect to have a heap of fun if you're a pinball fan. Otherwise, eh, you'll just find it decent, or just a time killer, or perhaps a bore.
I just managed to spot it today at Target, so I picked it up with the last of my allowance, most of which was already spent on a GBASP, GCN demo disc, and Wario Ware, which was a bit more than a week ago. I'm really enjoying Nights pinball though. And story mode is pretty good. But somewhere I see a bit of blandness. But I'm a pinball fan, so I still find it fun.. no regrets about spending my last $30. But, I wouldnt throw any 9-10 out of 10s just yet. Maybe a 7 or 8. But ive only played for an hour.
Also, theres lots of remakes of music in this game. Including (SPOILER)Super Sonic Racing from Sonic R, and heaps and heaps of Nights and Samba De Amigo music.(SPOILER)
I'll talk about more of it later..

Nintendo Gaming / PLEASE tell me the GCN is not dying in Europe.
« on: March 14, 2003, 06:41:55 AM »
I got some Xbox fanboys trying to tell me stores in the UK are starting to "chant for the GC's death" and are stopping stock of GCN's in their stores. Can someone confirm this?

Nintendo Gaming / Do you think Majora's Mask deserves a special edition?
« on: February 19, 2003, 05:29:45 PM »
OOT got a port, with it's already made Special Edition "Ura Zelda/Master Quest". But do you think MM deserves one for when Zelda X rolls around?
People might complain it doesnt deserve one, or it'll just be one game. Though I think minor effort could be put in to add one more dungeon and a few more sidequests, and like MM, remake the original dungeons and have MM: MQ
I think it deserves one, it is probaly my favirote N64 game. But Im probaly one of the few. Not to mention besides Zelda 1 and 2, this is probaly the only most recent Zelda game, the majority probaly HAVEN'T played. So most people would REALLY like this. I Just want to hear everyone's opinions.
