I'm REALLY looking forward to the virtual console when I get my Wii. The lineup I saw on their website is tremendous. I never had another Nintendo console after the NES (until GC), so I've never played the stuff like Link to the Past, SMB64, SMWorld, etc. I'm excited to play this stuff that so many people consider classic.



I take it you have never experienced Ocarina of Time then either? Perhaps that game isn't as great as we all make it out to be, but for those of us who had played the Zelda games from the beginning this was long awaited and the first time we got to see our much visited world of Hyrule in 3D. It was amazing.


BITE YOUR TONGUE!

Ocarina is as close to gaming perfection as we'll ever get - it's every bit as good as we make it out to be!


I never did play Ocarina. I must confess, I purchased Wind Waker for GC and found it to be not so great. The camera controls were AWFUL and some of the movement frustrated me so I bailed early on. I'm looking forward to going backwards and starting from Link to the Past and making my way through the rest of what I can get my hands on up to and including TWLP. Part of my problem is that when I left my NES behind, I moved to Genesis, followed by a pc and never looked back, going through shooters and sports games almost exclusively. I'm hoping that the solid game play with the older Zelda titles will make up for the "arcane" look relative to the newer titles.

I believe that Zelda is, without question, one of the greatest games I've ever played and the success of the franchise is not in doubt. My personal favorite has always been SMB, though. I played that game for months on end and fell in love with it. I played SMB2 for a while but eventually put it aside. I got a DS last year and New SMB with it and was absolutely addicted to it. I'm VERY much looking forward to some of the classic SMB games, like SMW and SMB64.

I'm so damn excited I can't wait!

Anyone think there'd be a market for a Zelda MMPORPG?
