Hmm. I haven't played Wind Waker since I originally beat it about two and a half years ago, but I remember being very disappointed with the ending. What's so great about it? And what were the GBA extras for the Oracle games?

You KNOW what you all have been thinking about... after the Wii is launched, with it's Wiimote... How LONG will it take until a doctor has to remove a wiimote surgically from someone's rectum? I say 3 days.

The Gameboy Player attatment makes it capable of playing the GBA games and the GBA version of ALink to the Past, and the Collectors Edition Disk has everything else not developed for the GC. Of course it also costs quite a bit extra. If you're just getting the Wii, obvioulsy you can't use that perriphrial

As for Gamecube Zeldas...

The Wind Waker is an excellent game. There are some segnemts when you're sailing where you can run off and grab a drink while waiting to get from one island to another, but otherwise it is very involved all the way through, and has some great dungeon design. It also has what I consdier the BEST ending of any of the games, and looks gorgeous. It has dropped to $20 now and is a must-buy.

Four Sword Adventures may be harder to find. It isn't near as good, but it is still fun. The game is best when played with two to four players, but to do this you have to use a GBA (A DS won't work) and Nintendo's ill-fated GBA-GC connetion perriphreal. You have kids, right Sage? If so, it would probably be worth the effort to track it down, because the game was designed and really shines as a multiplayer game. I don't know what this game's current retail price is.

Collectors Edition is a compilation of Zelda's 1 and 2, and Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time. Zelda one and two are way retro old school, and are worth playing despite their age. Ocarina and Majora's mask on the other hand are absoute masterpieces both. The Collectors Edition might be a bit hard to find since it was a promotional disc instead of meant for retail, and it could cost you upwards of $30 even though it was free with a Gamceube.

Ocarina of Time Master Quest Another promotional disk, this one designed to be given out if you pre-ordered Wind Waker. It includes the original version of Ocarina of Time and a remastered edition similar to the second quest in the first Legend of Zelda, with different dungeons and such. It could also cost you upwards of $30 and may be even harder to find than the Collector's Edition since it only came with TWW preorders. Both it and the Collectors Edition can only be found used.
I don't think SNES' Link to the Past would be playable...or was it on one of the GBA releases??

There was a GBA re-release, which I have, as well as the original. The GBA version retcons some of the dialogue in order for it to fit in more with Ocarina of Time, though, calling the seven wise men the seven sages, etc. (although it doesn't help that the seven maidens are all human). I rather liked the continuity problem because it made it seem more lore-ish that they would forget some of the details after all those generations had passed.

Damned revisionists...

I was too at first, but it's something that grows on you. It's just powerful when you actually pay attention to the words the characters are saying instead of lamenting what is happening. I especially love Daphnes' line "Ganondorf, may you drown with Hyrule..." Though I probably shouldn't have spoiled that for Sage.

And what were the GBA extras for the Oracle games?


Not anything massively game changing. You get a free magic ring and one of the shops has more items or is bigger or something.

I am currently under the impression (and one that may be easily dispelled by new knowledge) that the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess is launching in the third quarter of the year (July, August, or September) and that the Wii version will launch along side the system in quarter four (October, November or December, probably November) so that the GC owners will get an inferior version of the game, but they'll get it first.

I could have sworn he said "THE SAME DAY" as the Wii version. That's just what I heard.

And Ric, GROSS! But it reminds me of an article I once read....WARNING: EXTREMELY HOT (work safe though)

He smiled. "I wonder how it works on guys?"

Wow. That's very interesting. It's nice to be able to enjoy games together as a family, working together.

I really do wish I was a girl sometimes... Just because of the fact that there orgasms are 100 times batter than ours. I mean, that girl basically said this: "Everything was a daze and a blur, I was in another place"

How unfair is that!!

Oh suuuure a masturbating game, I mean, who never thought of that.

Meh, let people who want to play that kind of thing play it. I'll be happily enjoying Smash Brothers Brawl, thank you.

Yeah that is quite old news. But the game looks quite cool besides the vibrator part.

I'd say of all the games for Wii coming out, I'm most interested in Metroid Prime 3. Not only does it look great graphically, but I get this suspicion that the Metroid Prime gameplay style and the Wii's controller were made for one another.
