Pure awesome, Sage!

Just don't give yourself a Zelda burnout!

I need to go look up my Wii Code.

Say, Sage, do you have any friends that work at a retailler? Tell them to keep an eye out for one.

52 so far has been great. It's really made the DCU feel like a cohesive place. On the down side, the end of today's issue was STUPID. Sobek would never EAT Osirus just becuase he was hungry!

Brave and the Bold #1 was pretty good, but the colors and ink didn't really flatter Perez's pencils all that well. Still, the story is interesting.

JSA is the best DCU book on the stands. That's the monthly I look forward to the most. JLA is pretty good too. Teen Titans has been mediocre ever since 'Infinite Crisis' and OYL kicked into high gear and I've already dropped all the heroes' solo titles.

My $0.02, Sage.

I'd get the Ocarina of Time/Master Quest disc.

Legend of Zelda is already out on the VCS, and it's a given that Zelda II and Majora's Mask will both be eventually. But the Ocarina of Time Master Quest may be harder to come by. Nearly fifty bucks for the Collector's Edition is way too much considering it came FREE with a GameCube.

Wow, really? I mean, you've only played the first Zelda and Wind Waker?

As soon as you get a Wii, you need to put some money up for Wii Points and get "A Link to the Past" and "Ocarina of Time"!

Heheh. Not at all, though since I still own my N64 cartridge AND the Collector's Edition Gamecube disc there's no way I'm downloading the Wii VCS version.

You sure about that, TipTup? I heard he was thinking about directing a movie based on the Nickelodeon show "Avatar".

Of course that may have been a baseless rumor, so you may be right.

They've become a bit more fair in recent years. I've seen some fairly harsh ratings to some games, even ones published by Nintendo.

Nintendo Power was pretty crappy during the N64 and early Gamecube days. They barely even acknowledged that Nintendo even HAD competation back then.

Hate to lose you, Ric. I'll keep in touch with you over MSN (and my Wii, of course) until the day when and if you decide to return. Good luck on that new job.

Sage, dude, I'm the first to say that Sunshine doesn't feel enough like a Mario game. It's nowhere near as good as Super Mario 64, nowhere near as good as Super Mario World or SMB3. But 'Mediocre' is equating it with your bland generic beat'em ups. Even as many missteps as it made, Sunshine is a cut above most other platformers. Are you sure you're not the one on 'fanboy gatorade' or whatever the smeg you call it.

Sadly I hate that one too. SMSS is another one that's mediocre in my book. RE4 is a sweet game that I really need to get.

O_O... Jedi, dude... you're killing me here. Sunshine was certainly no classic, but to call it 'mediocre'?... Just wow...

As for Resident Evil V, I'm holding out hope that Capcom will announce it for the 360 as well. It's probably a long shot--yet I simply cannot afford to support games and accessories for five consoles and three hand-helds. Heck, I can't support what I've got! My mom gave me Call of Duty 3 for Christmas and that's still the ONLY X-Box 360 game I own.

I can only think of one decent Gamecube game with a persistent over-the-shoulder locked camera--Resident Evil Four.

Even Super Mario Sunshine has a manual floating camera.

I hate, read: HATE floating over-the-shoulder cameras! You ALWAYS have to re-center with the damn things. Give me first person or a locked over the shoulder cam and I'd be happy.

Zelda in first person? Or locked? That would be nearly impossible to play. And how hard is it to press the L button to re-center the camera?

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.

WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Go back! Give it another chance! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

How are the camera controls awful? O_O ?? TWW has the same camera controls as GC Twilight Princess and Ocarina doesn't have any controls but centering with Z.

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

Not a 3D Zelda game, no... A 2D Zelda MMORPG? Yes! A 3D game wouldn't work online because of the puzzle focus, but a 2D game could.

I remember seeing commercials for it but at the time my parents just didn't have the money to plunk down on getting me a sixty dollar game for an aging console. I hope it hits the VCS--it and EarthBound--sooner rather than later.
