Ok a few of you probably have allready seen these screens but for those who have'nt, follow the link below...

http://www.cube-europe.com/news/102196456548046.html

Now, presuming these screens are real (and theres no reason they should'nt be) we have something great (Rideable yoshi!) and something rather disurbing but also great (Link on a viking boat) for weeks people have been going on about seeing as mario sunshine borrows elements from super mario world (the wire mesh) it should include the best aspect of the game... a rideable yoshi! and it looks like Nintendo have answered our prayers (for once).

Now, onto Zelda, allthough I'm sure that this will be without a doubt the best zelda game ever since Ocarina Of Time, I can't help but think that Shigsy's kinda, well... how should I put this? Lost the plot!?! I mean the name The Legend Of Zelda is mainly because of one of the characters in the series... Zelda! and what happened in Majora's mask? No Zelda! and apparently guess whats happening in this one? yep! you guessed it No Zelda! as reports suggest Link has to rescue his sister and I can't help but feel that the series is kind of losing it's roots instead of going back to them.

*sigh* I really don't know what kind of wacky storyline Shigsy's gonna come up with for this potential epic, but it had better be good, meanwhile I guess we will just have to wait and see what the next few days bring...

Heres to the future! (sorry Dringo could'nt resist! :D)

yeah I guess so, but how much longer can the series carry on for? I have every Zelda game to date so far but I can't help but feel that it's ever so slowly losing it's roots in an attempt to become something else and it's a move that could either make or break one of the finest Nintendo franchises, but hopefully theres still a good few games in the series to come yet so i guess it's best to just enjoy them while they last (even if the next one is as short as luigis mansion :D )

Ah, Never truly jusge a game until playing it.

Although leaving out the title character is a bit weird. Perhaps its more a marketing thing...Leave Zelda out for a few games and then when she finally returns in a future game there will be massive hype and sales going through the roof...

maybe eh? :D

How many times can Link save the same person?

I think it's better that he is saving other people, makes him more a hero and less a bodyguard.
