The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
This thread has been linked to the game 'The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker'.
so we all raised an eyebrow the first time we heard that one but what does it mean???
well i was just staring at my desktop (as i often do...) [btw i have the new zelda logo as my background] and just thought to myself 'whats the waker part mean?' now, ye guys might have got it already so excuse me if this is dated but...
the subtitle consists of two parts; 'wind' and 'waker'. now we all know that nintendo feel they have finally realised realistic wind in a computer game but whats with the second part, 'waker'. well i recon that it is to do with the fact that link will be spending alot of time on his sail boat 'riding the waves'. and another name for waves? 'wake'!
so you see....
*grumbles heard in the crowd, someone quietly leaves*
(god i hope im right?!)

sorry mate I know how it works in the gamecube industry and i know that some reveiw companies, websites, magazines etc. do get free copies of the games, both to preview (which they will get on normal CDs and play through an NR reader, and the final product (JAP NTSC/US NTSC/PAL) on actual cube discs which are stamped with promo use only
