Guys, wouldn’t it be cool if the following happened?
10.00am, 9th May 2003
Live from Parliament House via television and radio:
PM John Howard
“Today, Nintendo Australia and I would like to welcome a special guess from Kyoto, Japan. This special guess works for Nintendo and has flown over to make a special announcement. Some of you may know him as the man who is a f**king *bleep* genius. The man who is a legendary game designer. The man who created King Kong, errrrrrr sorry, I meant, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. I present you, Shigeru Miyamoto.”
*Sony and Microsoft grumble*
Shigeru Miyamoto
“Thank you Mr. John Howard, or if you may, George W. Bush’s Sidekick. And thank you Nintendo Australia for having me. It is my pleasure to be here in Australia to celebrate the release of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for Nintendo GameCube. I am proud to announce that today, 9th of May 2003 is National Zelda Day. I encourage all video game fans and least not forget, loyal Nintendo fanboys nationwide, to treat this day as a national holiday. Our Australia Nintendo fans deserve this special day, for all the painful suffering they went through for having to wait for the PAL release. Forget about school or work, or other plans you had for today. And if your girlfriend does not like it, dump her. Too many things in life get in the way of our precious gaming time and today, you have the chance to spend the day with Zelda. Go to your local video games store, shell out your hard earned cash for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and enjoy the experience the game will give you. Immerse yourself into a world as you take control of Link. Call your loved ones and get them to sit with you as you play the game. And most important of all, *raises fist into the air a la Link*, ZELDA GET! Thank you.”
*Girls squeal as they yell out: “I love you Shiggy!” and "Shiggy me up!"*
We can only dream…
