Aonuma hopes to show 'playable' build of new Zelda at E3

Me too, that would be epic

if it is, Hero of Time Link Dies

as long as its not cellshaded I'll be happy I really didn't care for the style of windwaker. Arguably I did like it in the DS versions tho so go figure.

Do you mean in a narrative sense? Or that you want to see the time travel and mask mechanics again? Or the greater sense of character interaction that game had?

Majoras Mask is easily the best Zelda game but I don't think it needs to be rehashed. As far as I'm concerned the best direction this new game could take would be a back to basics approach. By that I mean no 'gimmicks' - masks, wolves, boats, twilight, dark world etc. - and a heavy focus on combat. Some huge ass bosses wold be nice as well.

Don't worry, they will.

Everybody wants one of those but it'll never happen. Miyamoto doesn't even know how the Zelda timeline goes.

As far as I'm concerned they don't need a timeline.
Remember, its called "Legend" of Zelda. Not "History" of Zelda.

It is not likely, but all those games could be terrible. Don't count your cuccos until they have hatched man.

Not likely? You mean 'impossible' right?

Shit man it was a joke, so I could do the don't count your cuccos thing.

it would be SO awesome if Nintendo could get all those out. i honestly haven't dusted off my Wii in a while and Galaxy 2, Metroid, and Legend of Zelda would most definitely get me back on the Nintendo bus. and the new main Pokemon games isn't going to hurt the cause either (haven't touched my DS in a while either).

The best was in the Lost Woods. When I was a kid I wanted to build my house there.

That's the key, though. Majora's Mask was developed in a year. This has been in some sort of development for over 3 years now, though active development started sometime last year.

MM was also developed for the N64 and didn't have the MotionPlus to worry about.

They already had the engine, the gamplay mechanics, the models...

This game is made from nothing.

I doubt they would keep much of anything, they've got motion+ now and all the graphics and code outside of the motion controls were designed for the gamecube and not the Wii so it doesn't take advantage of the Wii's additional power..

Yeah because the smart thing to do is act like your completely certain about an unpredictable future.

What they should do is stop making empty promises. They don't have to say anything at all.

They usually don't say anything, and you know what? people complain about that, too.

Nintendo's 2009 was "absolute shit" shit? Really? If you thought it was shit there is nothing they can ever do or ever have done at an E3 to impress you. Its best just to move along, find some mountain dew or something.

Give me some examples of what made it good?

Wii Motion Plus? - no
Vitality Sensor? - no
New Super Mario Bros Wii? - Maybe a little
Wii Fit's success? - no
handful of DS titles like new Mario RPG? - maybe a little
Dead Space Extraction and Resident Evil Darkside Chron? - two mature on rails shooters that didn't end up selling well
Mario Galaxy 2 - a game that is STILL NOT OUT
Metroid M - a game that is STILL NOT OUT

That's pretty much E3 2009 from Nintendo... you tell me how it couldn't be considered shit?

I don't have a clue what your talking about. Nintendo's games at E3 sucked because they're "STILL NOT OUT" and some 3rd party games didn't sell well?

I don't understand how you can think an E3 presentation without any solid substance is a good showing. I'm not hating on Nintendo for showing off the new Metroid or Mario, that's fine, gives us a taste of what's far down the road.

However we should have also seen some solid titles that were to be released in the upcoming year. Nintendo only showed 2 first party titles that would release in the next year, Super Mario Bros Wii and Wii Sports Resort, and unfortunately, that's pretty much all we got for the year, which is less to do with their E3 presentation and more to do with their overall strategy for 2009, which was continue to ride on their established success and do nothing to generate any new buzz.

The rest of their showing from 2009 was more accessories, DS stuff and a couple 3rd party titles.

In my opinon, a successful E3 would have shown have far more games that would be coming in the next year... that didn't happen, in part because they didn't have any games in the 2009 pipeline.

If you were satisfied with E3 2009, then you are too easily satisfied, and that's ashame, you should demand more from these companies!
