"Zelda Competition"

Has anybody seen that competition on the nintendo.co.uk website? It's a competition to create something based on Zelda that is totally original containing no already copyrighted material. The winner get's the zelda and gamecube set with a signed t-shirt by that guy who owns nintendo or some poo. 9 runners up get the gamecube with the new zelda game. I really want to enter but I'm not sure what they mean by creation. I'm gonna do a big drawing thing but chances are someone will make a 20 ft model of their character "Aldez"...sigh...ohwell any ideas on "creations" post them here. BRAINSTORM PEOPLE! GO!:D

Mr Yoko, also worked on The gameswan colour (for a rival company), he was driving either to or from a press conforence for the machine when the crash happened.


(I Think)

I went out and got very drunk. Then I ate all the meat out of a kebab and gave the bread to someone else who decided he wanted it. Still, I've eaten about as much in the last 7 days as I normally would in 2. Not that it's necessarily bad for me mind.

More info about Mr Yoko, he created the Virtual Boy also, which, due to being a huge failure, had him fired from console development I believe. He then died in a car crash in 1997, many believing this was the reason there was no Metroid game on the N64.

See, I know my Ninty.

Gunpei Yoko, I'm not sure how it's spelt, but I know it was him.

One of the guys at Games Central thought that Shigsy created them. The fool.

Indeed. Hows the anorexia(ish) thing now?

Both.

Clearly fantasy or clearly necessary?

It just really annoys me when magazines are so intend on getting in the 'good books' of someone high up in the organisation that they are incapable of mentioning them without sucking up to them.

For example they would be writing about E3 and...

"At this years E3 Shigsy shower up to unveil his new game, Pikmin Xtreme rally inferno, isn't he great? Look at his eyes, they are so deep and shiny. I wish I could marry him, he is such a caring guy..."

And so forth

It clearly was.

Was that necessary? Really?

Fantasy or what?
