Go there now. And look down a bit, for a letter entitled "About that Zelda Demo", it's second from the top.

See those pictures? Those are the pictures of the Zelda demo that Nintendo used to show off the technical aspects of the N64.

(Sound familiar?)

I expect you all know what it looks like now on the N64. If you don't, get out of my sight.

Anyway. Now lets have a look at the Zelda demo that Nintendo used to show off the technical aspects of the Gamecube.

That's an early demo. Compare it to the other pictures.


Here are two main points, that this has brought up in my mind.

Firstly, the PS2 didn't impress me at the launch, and I ddn't think all that much of the graphics, but this little topic proves that things do get better, so watch out next year for some stunning games.

Secondly, and more importantly to me, the picture of Ganon on Gamecube IS A DEMO! This is the work in progress? Not at all finished?

What will we expect to find at E3 when Nintendo shows off all the games? What will we see when it's released!

Hurrah!

It is a generally slow connection everywhere for me today.

It might have something to do with the four concurrent downloads mind...

Isn't that one of those little round discs they throw? Like a frisby, only it's heavier, and you throw it differently.

Okay, I'm going now. My padded room beckons.
