I never played thoughs games but from what I saw on the television show ICONS on G4 they were terrible. They were pretty funy actualy. I remember Link talking to Zelda in a cut scene saying "how about a kiss" in this really crapy way. and I think she said something like "please" and pushed him away. One other thing I thought was funny was when Link said "im so hungry I could eat an octorock." One game was a terrible looking and sounding side scroller and the other was an over head piece of garbage staring Zelda as the playable character. But I realy really want these games.

Any who I am very happy this Zelda collection is coming out. I am loving all these classic collection games. First Sonic, soon Mega Man, and now this.

[off-topic alert]Speaking of collections, anybody know if that Midway classic gaming collection disc is still erm, being made? PGC had some news on it MONTHS back, and there hasn't been another word since.[/off-topic alert]

I want the CD-I games just for the sake of saying that I have played them, or own them. They must be worth a pretty penny because they are not common, regardless of the quality.

Infernal: There is a game called Midway Arcade Treasures that comes out for all three systems. Xbox and PS2 version come out and November 17, while the GCN version isn't slated to come out until 12/1. Doesn't make any sense, unless Midway is looking for an excuse to say the GCN version of their games, even really old games, doesn't sell. The game is listed for a three systems with a price of 19.99. This of course if from EBgames.com and is for North America.

www.gamecubeheaven.tk is reporting that the zelda compilation will indeed be sold seperately, at least so far through Nintendo's online store. Whatever, as long as it is available. If this is true, then it will probably be sold at other stores as well.

Pale · « **Reply #29 on:** October 10, 2003, 11:06:31 AM »

I'm really worried that Target and Best Buy won't be able to sell them seperately because nintendo will actual put them within the packaging for the GCN... =/ Its not like the other ones they sell where they get a box of them and they are supposed to hand them out with purchase...i dunno.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #30 on:** October 10, 2003, 11:12:26 AM »

The online route wouldn't be too bad provided that they make then available outside the US. Right now in order for Canadians to order anything from Nintendo they have to do it by phone.

I'm really worried about this. Nintendo has just been insanely clueness lately and they might not even think that existing Cube owners are even interested in this disc. They certainly didn't think we would care about the original demo disc. They never released that seperately despite numerous complaints and hard evidence (ie: sales at Best Buy) that existing owners wanted to buy it.

I'm sorry, but I was just reading through this old thread when I came across this:

(The most disreputable magazine in the world other than "PLAY" and "The World Weekly News.") I actually could not belive that you would associate yourself w/ such a shoddy magazine.

If you've got a better track record, prove it. The burden of proof, as they say, is in your hands.

By the way, my comments are NOT intended to flame or bash anyone on PGC or PGC itself. It's a good site, it's just that this boastful statement does not hold water in my opinon.

The only rumors that turn out true on IGN are those stolen from someone else...

and I think being 6 years old is a little too old for diapers...It's funny how you've hidden your profile, so YOUR age remains a mystery...

Wow! What an ass hole. First of all Bloodworth was not directly associating PGC with Game Informer. The guy that got the scoop at Game Informer is Billy Berghammer who was the head at PGC until he moved on to work at Game Informer. In other words Bloodworth was actually associating PGC with Billy Berghammer. Also PGC does have a great track record. In fact I don't recall a rumor that they've posted that ended up being wrong and I've been coming here for around 3 years now.

I don't know what the hell that has to do with anything but if that age is up to date then he would have been born around 1980. Seeing as how the NES was released in the US in 1985 I should hope he would be out of diapers by then considering he would be 5. Unless of course you are basing that whole diaper bit on your own experience with potty training.

Yuji Miyamoto · « **Reply #34 on:** October 10, 2003, 07:22:51 PM »

chuckles at the reaction my comments have received.

..anyway, the "diapers" comment was irony. look into it. i know he was 5 or 6. it's not an insult, its a joke. there's this thing called "busting someones balls" (ever see Goodfellas?)

the way i read it, he was associating himself with G.I., not a good thing to do. it's a rag. but maybe it's just the way i read it. still, his words were boastfull, and as they say, put your money where your mouth is...

after searching PGC's "rumors" section. i can say that the only "rumor" they were right about was the "backlit" GBA. of course a ten year old could have seen that one coming...

....one last thing, yes, I am an @**hole. thank you for noticing....

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #35 on:** October 10, 2003, 07:36:36 PM »

Trust me on this the CD-i ones are horrid. I couldn't get through the first level on one before I questioned my moment of weakness. (Oh well I bought an inexpensive VCD player for then, I may try the game again... If I have nothing else in the world to do.)

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #36 on:** October 10, 2003, 09:44:43 PM »

*Doesn't think it was a very funny joke*

And no, you aren't using the term "irony" right...

Yuji Miyamoto · « **Reply #37 on:** October 10, 2003, 11:18:45 PM »

I'm not?

"2 a : the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning b : a usually humorous or sardonic literary style or form characterized by irony c : an ironic expression or utterance"

I never paid attention in school.

...I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who has witnessed first hand, the horror that is the Phillips CDI Zelda games. God, save us all. Nintendo should be punished for "whoring" is the classic Zelda series...

SuperLink666 · « **Reply #38 on:** October 11, 2003, 03:35:43 AM »

The product will launch on November 26 and be packages with $99 gamecube systems. Time to buy a second GC people

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #39 on:** October 11, 2003, 05:32:45 AM »

Actually, Ninty didn't make the games...Phillips did...And Ninty had to let them make them because they agreed to let them do it as part of their partnership. When Ninty backed out, Phillips got mad and threatened with a lawsuit if Ninty didn't fulfill their part of the deal, and thus the travesties that were the Zelda CD-i games were released...

(Here's an example of irony: Over a period of 10 years, you buy lottery tickets every week. You finally realize how stupid the lottery is, and you decide to trash your latest ticket. That night you find out that you had the winning ticket.)

(edit: Here's an even better example that involves these forums. These forums haven't been working, for what? 2 months? Mouse_clicker finally cracked and left. After he left the site started working again

Pale · « **Reply #40 on:** October 11, 2003, 07:28:06 AM »

Your definition didn't prove your point at all, you weren't trying to express teh exact opposite, you were in fact trying to express that he was very young when the nes came out which is exactly what you tried to say, in a very non ironic sort of way.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #41 on:** October 11, 2003, 10:21:06 AM »

Yuji: Hardly- I cannot recall anything Planet Gamecube has reported that didn't end up turning into fact. Johnny even said that they don't do a Louie's Rumor Report until they have the "rumors" confirmed- I can think of several accounts IGN has jumped the gun on something that wasn't true.

Also, Bloodworth, I hope you didn't think I was discrediting PGC by saying the disc was rumored. I simply meant that there was no confirmation from Nintendo up until now and I happened to see it on IGN first.

Just to bump this bad boy up with some new info...

It seems the bundle will come out the same day as Mario Kart.... Kind of exciting and I think its a good move from nintendo. I'm not sure how reliable the info is though.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #44 on:** October 19, 2003, 05:11:32 PM »

Oh noes! I'm going to have to buy the Zelda disc in November!? I'm already going to be borrowing money from my parents with everything coming out next month! Boo!

Yes, the bonus disk was selling seperately, but at $40. I won't spend that much on a few demos.

40$? It was going for 19.99 right off the bat at Best Buy.

another example would be:
a person who believes cars are unsafe and therefore refuses to drive one (to avoid the chance of an accident) is one day hit by a car, while walking, and dies.
