Reactions might not be the right word, because we can't exactly do anything about the games, BUT do we want to.
Okay so your first impressions of Zelda might have spouted a few profanities or sunk some hearts but Nintendo have done nothing wrong...
Bonus will second my first opinions of Zelda through a MSN conversation we had and you all read my feelings in Meka's thread I added too for which I must apologise with regards to the use of profanity...
But for months we have been moaning that no games are original... people complained that GT3 wasn't unique enough and that is just stood on the shoulders of GT2 to get into the ratings...
Here's your originality, The Legend of Zelda, okay so CEL shading is nothing new and all of you who are familiar with Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast) will know what CEL chading can do or does do for a game. But there isn't anything wrong with the game... the storylinie will be fine, the graphics DO COUNT but no one complained about JSR and all the PS2 lovers don't have to comment.. they don't have to play Zelda so they can shut up...
I know this contradict my previous feeling towards the game, but if you think it over, it'll be quite fun and with CEL chading you can alter the animations, make them ad ludacrous as you want and you can get away with it... You all saw the PIG guards... right! LMAO!
On to Mario, and the game that I though was the most promising out of the lot! I love Mario... yes I am 17, but you've gotta admit he's pretty cool and easy to laugh at or laugh with.
What caught my eye was the thing on his back... a vaccum cleaner?! What was it?!... I've tried enlarging screen shots i've tried slowing the video... goodness knows i've tried yelling at the screen, I guess it's something we'll have to wait for...
Another thing was the Day/Night 'SUN' in the top right... Hopefully Miyamoto won't have incorporated the not-so-popular Zelda: MM idea into a game that could sell the Gamecube sooooo well! Hopefully the sun plays a different kind of role in the game, but details aside the game looked amazing... the vintage Mario themes were there, the SM64 moves were there and by the looks of things, you don't need to use many buttons... another Miyamoto one-button-wonder in the works?! (God, that got my tongue!)
Over all the whole thing seemed to go in a flash... I haven't been on the net much over the past few days so I didn't prepare for the news... (Thanks Bonus!)
Most Ninties other than my two brothers took to the new Zelda well, I had my doubts but even if Zelda sucks, which it probably won't, there is always Mario and he is THE MAN!
God, I love Mario! He's a dude!
I couldn't quite make out the Zelda storyline from the pics... but then again, show a guy 25 masks and a flying bug/monster with a green hood and ask him what'll come out of it in 1.5 years time!
Overall, the few impressions I did get were good, and all though it's 'the same old cartoony stuff' it is a good job, because there is no way we'll see Retro or Rare make a game like that... Nintendo only make these games because on-one else can or would!!
I'm not as ecstatic about Zelda as I am Mario and it's a good job Mario'll be around first... for me anyway. I think Mario will be one of the next few GAD's I earn... God willing I win again...
Anyway... please post your thoughts and try to be mature about it... don't slág off the games but try to think why Nintendo took the route they did...
Heh... as long as I get to play that Mario game I don't give a Spicy Orange controller what Zelda turns out like....
The games I've seen so far have impressed me and I think i'll get...
Luigi's Mansion
SSB: Melee
Mario
Zelda
StarFox Adventures: DP
DKR
6 Games.... I think i'll make enough GAD's between now and the time they've all arrived...
