I had a feeling this was going to happen.
With the revolution set to introduce a DS style new way of playing games I began to wonder what lies ahead for Nintendo's main mascots.
Mario, as Miyamoto put it in a recent interview, is a "concept title"... it is the game that promotes change and therefore will thrive under new control methods and systems. Pikmin looks set to be a DS title whilst the likes of Pokemon can still easily work on the DS as well. Metroid has already been confirmed for both next generation handheld and home system whilst Donkey Kong, Wario and Kirby no longer have a defining genre anyway.
What about Zelda? In a recent interview with a radio station Miyamoto said, regarding the new Twilight Princess:
"This will be, without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form."
A delay makes more sense. Granted I was glad to hear Nintendo were willing to delay the game from its almost ideal position as a competitor for the X-box 360 in order to make it better. But still, from a finacial point of view, it doesn't make sense. But it seems Nintendo are being all nostaligic. For an epic Zelda game as we know it will not work on Revolution, much as one wouldn't really work on the DS.
So in theory, this is potentially the last true Zelda game ever. Miyamoto also said that this is the game he has worked most closely on in years and years.
It is very sad to say goodbye to some legendary Nintendo games. But the future holds promise.
"Mario is and always has been a concept title from his birth. We are always looking for new ways of playing with him, manipulating him, to create something new and unique. We're in the midst of preparing something special for his future, something never before seen. You'll understand when you see it that we can't quite release it right away. The new Mario game will surprise many people. Give us the benefit of the doubt. I think we'll present you with a new way to have fun. There's even a new character by his side.
"We based the Revolution around this new type of game. Mario 128 played a large role in the Revolution's conception, much like Mario 64 in it's time. But we won't just be focusing on Mario. We're working on some very impressive games which push interactivity to the max - games of a new era."
Does sound promising... doesn't it?
Dringo.

See, this is what happens when new consoles are relentlessly dished out. I blame new graphics. What's wrong with keeping the graphics the way they where? I'm sure no-one would notice the difference...

That's mostly based around the Twilight Realm isn't it?

Well Wind Waker was set in hyrule, well more or less above it but still in the same world.
*begins a slow spiral into clinical depression*
You have to wait almost a year for it too. Ha.
TP is in Hyrule, as far as I know. Well, yes, it is.
So there.
Ha.
Official the only game I currently care about.
And it will be the best one ever. So there. Ha.

I thought it might've been set in Hyrule again.
I haven't been paying attention because there too much WW info floating about and I've yet to play my copy, also I'm buying TP regardless. :)

I'm thinking abut picking up Deadly Shadows. Is it worth it?

Nope the orginal is large square area after large square area. The sequel gives you much more to play with, better alternate routes and better ways to approach each situation.
