There is a Wii RE planned, but there is almost literally nothing known about it. link

This should be in the Video Game thread.

Also, Simon Belmot and Contra Dude are both Konami characters. If we're going to have third parties in the game, I'd rather have multiple third parties represented.

I've had Metroid Prime 2 since Fall 2004 and I still haven't beat it. I really ought to go work on that.

Definitely. The southern part of the game map (in the GC version) overlaps almost perfectly with the Ocarina of Time map. The game takes place probably a century or so after Ocarina, but before The Wind Waker's great flood. And Twilight Princess is also the only game in the series besides Adventure of Link to show any of Northern Hyrule.

The situation in Kakariko isn't kinky. The only survivors of the town are the man who runs the bomb shop 24/7 (the old guy) and the medicine man named Renado, plus Renado's daughter. That said, for most of the game, some kids from Link's village and a troup of Gorons also occupy the village, so they're not the only people in the town, just the only people who actually live there.

Am I the only one who was upset to see what had become of Kakariko Village in TP? It was kind of sad to see the town in shambles, I mean, the windmill was gone, Dampe's hut was just a pile of rubble...almost as bad as seeing what happened the Hyrule in WW...

****************

No, but..

****SPOILER****

I was even more upset about the fact that there are only three people that actually live in Kakariko and that two of them are adult males and the other is a very young child. The rest of the village was murdered by Twilight Creatures. How is Kakariko supposed to recover with an old guy, a middle aged man, and the middle-aged man's daughter as its only permanent residents?

I finished most of Sands of Time on the Gamecube and then got stuck and lost interest; I never played Warrior Within due to the bad publicity; I rented Two Thrones on the X-Box and thought it was alright, but it didnt' really do anything Sands of Time didn't do just as well.

See, that's a much harder choice for me. Ocarina of Time is longer and more epic, but Majora's Mask has a more involved story and some of the greatest character development of any game ever.

It's like choosing between Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back.

Sean, you might want to think about linking those images.

Wait, wait.... Whazzat?!

Majora's Mask is one of the best in the series, though for very different reasons. There are only four dungeons, but they're all very good, and Majora's Mask comes closer than any other game in history to feeling like a real living, breathing world. How the heck did it feel like a rushed work?

I hope Nintendo starts putting out Game Boy Color games on the Virtual Console system, because the Zelda Oracle duo are games any Zelda fan would be crazy not to download.

I'm looking forward to trying that out, but my local video store doesn't rent Wii games yet.

Chalts, do you think because TWLP was a launch title that they will come up with another Zelda game within the Wii's lifetime? I've heard about Phantom Hourglass for the DS and am looking forward to that one as well...

From what I've heard, Zelda Wii is already in development. Remember that Twilight Princess is technically Gamecube Zelda 2 and was only ported to the Wii to boost that system's early sell-out rate. There may be two more Zelda games on the Wii before it's over.

Hm? I never really had any trouble with motion sickness playing RE4. My only 'problem' is the heart attacks it gave me occasinally.

One thing that's kind of bothering me about this assignment;

Since when to Americans think people are basically good? I thought the law existed because we acknowledge that all people are intrinsically flawed and imperfect.

Number ten has me a bid befuddled.

Why would using "Dr." to address someone who has a PhD be considered presumptuous? Obviously if they were a close friend, you wouldn't, but if you only knew them for reasons related to their PhD I fail to see it.

I agree, but I think he was saying that even though it was pretty good, the movie lacked some of the punch of the comics.

Did you need to configure it when you plugged it in? For example, I understand it supports WEP encryption (CRAP), so did you configure it with keys, etc?

It comes with a shiny blue installation CD. Just install the driver and plug it in. (That's the Nintendo version, I don't know how the one that works for Nintendo and the PSP works.)

Wal-Mart has a device you can by off the shelf for $40 that allows you to connect the Wii, PSP, and DS all to the internet. It should be near the other Wii accesories. The Nintendo brand can only be ordered online in the US.
