Nintendo Announces new Zelda, Mario & Metroid
MonkeyBot writes "Nintendo has posted news from the E3 convention concerning big name titles and their release dates. The new Metroids for the Cube and GBA, Legend of Zelda for the Cube, and a new Mario Game for the Cube are just a few of the titles for which new information is available. It'll be just like I'm a kid again, but with better graphics (and beer)!"
Samus Aran in my pocket!
... for a brief moment... all is right in the world.
Maybe the games will grow with the times and you try to collect six packs instead of full hearts.
Woh! Metroid!
This is the reason I like Nintendo better than all the other game systems out there... They had a great formula for fun video games 15 years ago, and they have stuck to what was proven fun and invented all sorts of new ways to keep it interesting! I *like* samus and mario and link... even if the game isn't all that good (think mario RPG) I still have fun playing it. It's just a way of going back :)
I'm done with sigs. Sigs are lame.
Who would win in a fight?
Has anybody within the /. community heard of any ports of Metroid or other Nintendo games?
I would love to see this on the XBOX. I am not going to buy a gamecube just because of Metroid! Although, I did get an XBOX because of halo!
"I don't mean to offend. I offend to mean."
Mario Cart? Which IMHO is the best racing game ever! I don't know how many times I've piloted Yoshi around all those tracks but I still find it fun every time I do.
I guess someone got nostalgic for the old days of nintendo cult status. Now if we can only convince them not to make 'em all totally in 3D maybe they'll have a chance. When I was a kid, video games only had two dimensions to them. And we liked it, gosh darn it. Built character, it did.
And it helped develop 'hand-eye' coordination. Of course, then again, so does masturbation...

It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
About time Metroid was reincarneted. Now i have a good reason to go buy a GameCube sometime.
I KNEW NIntendo wouldnt' let me down! Now if only their business tactics record wasn't for shame...
CAn'T CompreHend SARcaSm?
Waiting to get the girl again?
Mario sets off on his greatest adventure yet
No, that would happen if he arrived on a pollution-free island and got to do some much deserved resting and relaxing there with Princess Peach.

But the cube is completely unbearable to play without the adapter to use your dualshock controllers with it. You must buy these adapters! Original cube controllers suck more than any MS has ever done.
Now how about a dish from the recipe troll?
In a related note, Hollywood is sinking, and will be releasing an updated Spiderman, Apocalypse Now, Godfather, E.T., Star Wars, and a host of other dismal comebacks.
Recently Nintendo seems to be showing a new strategy of innovation.
For example:
1) Zelda is to be cel-shaded.
2) Metroid will be a FPS.
3) And unconfirmed rumors say that Mario Sunshine will be designed for 3dglasses, thats why the screenshots seem so odd.
Nintendo must be trying to break their image of being totally conventional and change resisting.

This is welcome news! The only thing holding back the Gamecube is a lack of games. I own Star Wars, Resident Evil, Super Smash Bros, and Pikmin. I would buy a lot more but there aren't any games out there worth buying.

THe gamecube price just dropped as well (luckily I bought my GC less than 30 days ago and got the difference back from the store I bought it at
Could we have linked to some articles with pictures though? Or am I missing a link on the page?
I heard (on Penny Arcade, I think) that there was supposed to be some big surprise announcement - I don't see anything mentioned here though...

Nintendo hands down has ended the console war with this lineup. Look at every single one of those. Infriggensane.
...so just from reading the headline, and my first thought was "that's insane!"
...my next thought was - "wait, no, if they could pull off a combination Zelda/Mario/Metroid game, resolving the differences between the different gaming styles and envionments/back stories it'd be one of the most amazing narrative (gaming or otherwise) tricks ever accomplished!"
...my third thought was - "holy crap, if a movie is ever made out of this combo game/story it would be even less coherent than the Super Mario Bros. movie, and thus be terribly harmful to the developing thought processes of our nation's youth - Nintendo must be stopped!!"
...my fourth thought was - "maybe I should read the f***ing article, or at least the summary beneath the headline before posting my ever-so-important concerns".
...my fifth thought was "this is Slashdot, no one will notice."
...and my sixth and final thought was "I can't believe you read this far."
I hope they maintain the quality of Metroid.
I hope even more they increase the quality of this Metroid (as graphics, fun and challenge) over
SuperMetroid
Fruity cutey story, but this is a Mario game, after all - unless you don't like RPG's, well, then why bother commenting about it? That would be like me ragging on Mario Golf because I don't like golf games or Metroid because I don't like platform games
Holy shit, i'm such a fanboy

Game Summary
The latest Legend of Zelda adventure begins with young Link living a peaceful life on a tiny island. One day, Link witnesses a huge, menacing bird that snatches Link's younger sister and flies away with her. Link follows in hot pursuit. His search for her sets in motion an epic adventure that will have Link sailing the high seas and searching for answers to the mystery behind her disappearance.
Checking out the game summary I can't help but think that Link is really Fox Mulder.
I'm wondering how long it's going to take before we see an article on /. about someone who has taken all of these games and gotten them to run on a GB Advance/Gamecube chop-job that has been crammed inside of an old C64 case, and which uses a vector-analysis routine combined with a laser projection system to display them on the bare midriff of a Natalie Portman poster.

i'm tired of nintendo releasing the same damn games for every new system they come out with.
i've played every super mario bros. to date... and i just want something new and exciting. i'd have to say that the only reason preventing me from purchasing nintendo products is that they are lacking in originality (that and zelda for the 64 was *horrible*).
yeah, i love those old games, they kept me rapt for hours, even days at a time. but now i want something new. it seems that nintendo has found what works and they are simply repackaging it for a younger generation.
the concepts were great, but i'm tired of mario saving the princess and megaman thrashing dr. wiley. how about a game with decent plot... that *isn't* an rpg! or maybe a 3d platform game... that isn't a bastardized offspring of the 2d version. or a space shoot 'em up that isn't totally mind-numbing
ugh... i sound like a bitter old man
//radiotakeover.
If metroid is as good as the original or the super metroid version, I might have to blow $149 for the system and $50 or $60 for the game. Plus I'm curious about that Pikmin game. Zelda might be a plus as well. I haven't been into mario much since the days of the 8 bit nintendo.

No it won't. Game companies, Nintendo included, stopped making fun games long ago and instead concentrated on what eye candy with no substance. You can't tell me that you can seriously compare any N64 or Gamecube game to an old-school Nintendo or SNES game and say it has the same level of fun because of the playability or content. This is why I stopped buying consoles, today they're all eye candy and no fun (with the possible exception of the GBA, though that's a stretch).
Is your browser retarded?
There is no way that Nintendo is going to let an exclusive property of theirs, made by a subsidiary (Retro isn't a second party any more, Nintendo holds a majority share now), to be published for another system when it poses a draw for gamers. These are good reasons to get a Cube, alongside Metroid:
Mario Sunshine
Zelda
Smash Bros. Melee
Resident Evil 0
Eternal Darkness (and Too Human later)
StarFox Adventures
etc

Now I'm in raving fanboy mode, but didn't Sonic 3 play exactly like Sonic 1? And didn't Mario 3 play quite a lot different than Mario 1? I'd mention Mario 2, but that was originally a completely different game.
:)
I have always found that Nintendo always strove for innovation - although that really bit them in the ass a few times *cough* *VirtuaBoy* *cough*
In any case, what did Sega ever put out that was that original?
Virtua Fighter series... Sonic 1... I can't think of more.
Just because the Nintendo games star the same characters, it doesn't mean they don't innovate - Mario64 was nothing like other platform/adventure games of the time. Pikmin was very unique. Playing Earthbound was rather like an interesting drug trip at times.
I could go on and on (as raving fanboys tend to do - for the record, I have/had a PSX, many PC games, gbc, gba, sega genesis, nintendo, sega master system, atari, etc - so I am more of a video game fanboy - I just really like Nintendo games
Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel.
You havent played Mario on the N64 or Zelda ont he N64 have you? They were right on par and just as fun as the originals! Thats all Nintendo cares about: FUN. Obviously you havent tried the Gamecube yet.. Go grab it and pick up SSMB. Good times..
I'm glad to see these projects near completion. I've been looking forward to all three of those big name ones for a while now, since I love my GameCube.
I'm wondering how Nintendo will choose to market these. They haven't been terribly aggressive (at least in my neck of the woods) about even their high-profile games.
In a way, I kind of enjoy this. Let Sony and M$ duke it out with PR and hype. Nintendo has a massive fan base with games that harken back to most of our childhoods. They aren't going anywhere and they don't have to sacrifice game quality for early releases and massive marketing to stay in our minds when we choose a video game platform.
Sharpies don't just sniff themselves.
I'm sorry to say that the previews of Metroid Prime so far have made me quite disappointed.
The game looks just like any average first person shooter. IMO it doesn't even get up to par with recent shooters - the models and animation are lame and on average the graphics seem just dull.
Also, none of the feeling and atmosphere from the old Metroids (essentialy Super Metroid) seem to be preserved. Yeah, this is hard to judge from visuals only, but 1) in my taste, these graphics just don't set the mood and 2) in my taste, the music sucks badly.
Beat me for being backwards, but I think there's a general problem with converting a concept such as Metroid from 2D to 3D. I know Nintendo already did a wonderful job with this with their Mario and Zelda series, but it seems to me that Retro Studios, while probably making a decent game in the end, somehow hasn't managed to get the special thing out of it. It takes more effort than just copying the character and recycling a trademark. Maybe Nintendo would've made a better job if they made the game themselves? I don't know.
Well, the Metroid atmosphere and gameplay is at least for me something very special and I have my doubts that Metroid Prime will make it.
What I'm waiting for is Monkey Ball 2..
Sega has the #1 sleeper hit for the gamecube right now.. Monkey Ball is by FAR the best game out for the system. It's got that cute-Nintendo-like-appeal. Extremely addicting. My buddies stop over and chuckle when I suggest we play Monkey Ball over Halo, GTA3, etc -- and then 5 hours later when we finish our last game of Monkey Target and can't hold our eyes open any more, it's time to put it away..
I thought of eyes, and I thought of how hand-eye coordination has to do with aim, and I thought I better quit thinking
Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel.
actually they already did just that in super smash bros.
basically every nintendo character ever made is in there.

What are you smoking? It looks friggen AWESOME. I think yer just pissed because a lot of people resented the look at first and hoped like hell it would bomb so the PS2/XBox camp could thumb their noses and it failed. Too bad, boyo. The game will simply own anything on any console.
It's called Super Smash Bros Melee ^_^

Sorry to see you go.. If you think any of those Nintendo games are dull then you definately outgrew them. And no, Zelda on the N64 was excellent and met its mark in sales. Oh well, at least there is some kid left in me who could play metroids and zeldas for the end of time.
the parallels are countless!

//radiotakeover.
about time, I thought I was the only one that couldn't stand the design of the Gamecube controller, and the GBA has dubiouslly designed controls as well... the buttons and crosspad are just too small as if it was designed with a 5 year old in mind- wait... that's their target audience... Big N needs to address adult gamers... I'm 29 how about they release 'Adult' versions of their consoles... ya know with comfortable controlers... tasteful colors etc... the panasonic Q looks awesome and can play dvd as well as gamecube games.... hopefully Big N will be releasing a backlit GBA cuz the current lcd is just too dark to enjoy most games without an external light source...but we know that big N's #1 priority is maximizing profit... the only way big n will address the 'adult' gamer is if it doesn't jeopardize it's kids business and they can make substantially more profit than they currently are otherwise they don't care if their controller sucks or their machine looks like Barbie's pastel tissue box. Sony has the adult market and I'm guessing quite a bit of the kids market as well. Hmm the xbox probably appeals more to the pc market... well those that can stomach buying and using a ms product anyway... I'm betting the average xbox owner probably is an adult and rather technically adept.. meaning they've been around pc's games for a long time. I've read that SEGA did great in the early 90's cuz it's fanbase was composed of more fanatical gamers that would buy about 5x as many games as the averave Nintendo fan would... so if the average Nin gamer buys 3 games a year the Sega gamer bought 15 and was also probably much older.. since they had the cash to buy those games as well. Out of the 3 current systems, I really don't see any that I can get fanatical about yet... maybe if the ps2 had less jagged graphics, 4 controller ports, built in modem and hd and addictive online and offline games, I'd be pretty stoked about it.... but as I see it I'll probably be picking up a Cube one the games build critical mass... right now the selection is kinda sparse... metroid might be alright .... it's another fps... like we need another one of these's... usually big n is a little inovative... why did they have to jump on the fps bandwagon? They already have Perfect Dark... If I wanted to play a FPS, I'll play SOF II on my pc... I don't want half-assed fps metroid on my cube...I want 2d/3/d hybrid side scrolling action....
My 2 cents....
in the first movies they showed. I guess I should have know the GC would not be able to make a game look as good as their initial movies lied about. By comparison, GC Zelda is definitely gay looking. I would feel dirty playing it...if I could stand to. They should have let capcom do this one.
And I can't stop.
I just can't stop. It's not fair. Don't buy it, you will never stop playing.
I never owned an N64 (no RPG's, bought a PSX) and regretted it - I love RPG's but I prefer the PC ones myself. Unfortunately, the console RPG's tend to be of the Fight/Level/Talk/Repeat, although it is nice when somebody introduces some new elements - my favourite console rpgs I played recently were Lufia 2 and Golden Sun (a bit generic and short, but the puzzles were ok, if a bit easy). But now I just play Morrowind.
Damn Morrowind has stolen my life. And I gave up DAoC to get into less addictive games. Oh well.
Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel.
Is it just me or are some of these new 3D games not quite as fun as their predecessors. I loved Super Mario Bros. I remember people lined up at the arcade to play it. A lot of these new 3D renditions just don't seem as interesting to me. I rented Frogger for the PS2 a while back and I couldn't stand it. :(
Oh well, out with the old and in with the new I suppose. Just because the new consoles CAN handle 3D doesn't necessarily mean every game should be 3D does it?
I replied to the wrong parent.
:)
STUPID STUPID STUPID
I'm killing time at work, can you tell?
Robots are everywhere, and they eat old people's medicine for fuel.
The knock on this game is that it has a "kiddie" look to it. I was worried that might be the case, but after seeing the game in action, I'm glad to say it works.
It does have a semi-cartoony look to it, but I don't think it detracts from the game. Previous Zelda games have had what I would consider "kiddie" looks to them. Even Ocarina of Time made link look more like a little kid than an elf. What's been great about the Zelda series is the game play, which is deep and engrossing.
Playing the new game, you quickly get caught up in it, and the cell-shaded look just works. It hasn't been overused enough yet to be cliche (although it's getting close), and it fits pretty well with the Zelda franchise. And, after seeing screen shots, you think I'm an idiot, I'd advise you to hold off on your judgement. The screen shots don't do it justice. Before I got my hands on the game, they weren't convicing me, either.
Don't forget that Friday is Hawaiian shirt day.
Can be found here at CNN.
I've been thinking about the essential difference between Nintendo and the Xbox and it seems to me that the most important difference is the most abstract one.
Up until now I've been focused on the point-to-point technical/marketing/economic comparisons.
I saw Nintendo's lower price as being cancelled out by the lack of DVD, and gave the Xbox the edge on the grounds that it's online capability was going to add an extra layer of addictivity to it's games.
Now, though, with the release of these titles, memories of the awesome absorbtion I've felt when playing earlier Mario's and Zeldas are flooding back...
While it isn't hard to imagine the fun of a properly managed, manificently pinged, global gaming arena (and if your imagination is running a bit slow today this promotional video spells it out pretty effectively), it's almost impossible to describe the magical web that the last couple of Zelda games wove around their players.
Of course, there is still the longer-term consideration of the Xbox's extended functionality that MS is anxious to keep under wraps for now.
For me, at least, there's now only one course of action: I'm going to buy the Game Cube (and as many of these games as I can afford), and the Xbox as soon as they start bundling the headset.
and it's coming just it's the first item on the future release list!!!!

Make a 3-d Castlevania that doesn't suck ass. Take a look at Devil May Cry...that is what Castlevania 3d should have been.
There are a lot of classic-style games on there :)
Well, somehow they made the Battletoads/Double Dragon game.
Remember that craziness?
I only wisht he would revive KID ICARUS, and Life Force, and BIONIC COMMANDO. Man, these games had some nice formulas. How about 1945 again?
I like the retro 2D stuff from Nintendo.
Anyone else remember Sword of Vermillion (SEGA)?
The new metroid looks cool, but I long for some 2D retro. Super Metroid is top 5 games for me.
I have to got buy GTA III for the PC, right now, but if enough of the retro themed stuff comes out, I'll get a game cube.
Oh, and a Kid Nikki would be nice. And maybe another 2D castlevania.

Innovative is perhaps the wrong word. I think "daring" is a little better. Sure, these are proven technologies, but this is a company with well-loved brands, and the fact that they are pushing them in new directions shows that they aren't stale.
And if you don't think that this is daring, witness then sound and fury directed at Nintendo for making Metroid an FPS and Zelda cell-shaded. They are risking things people know and love and trying to push them in directions that, while not totally new, are new for these particular products.

Mario: August
Metroid: November
Zelda: February 2003
Maybe I'll invest in some other diversion for the summer and pick up a $100 GameCube around Christmas.
...GameCube would be Marvel: continuously re-introducing old popular titles in the hope that old fans with new incomes will buy them and restore the company's fortunes.
...Sega would be Image: beautiful graphics time after time, but slow to realize that's not enough to keep them from crashing and burning.
...Sony would be Vertigo: late to the party, but chock-full of great stories with some truly radical, if not entirely beautiful, graphics.
...Microsoft would Dark Horse: rather than creating anything great on their own, buy up everyone else's popular ideas and market the hell out of them.
You want 2d gaming goodness, the GBA is your haven. It took ten years, but the good old days are back. New castlevanias, new zeldas, and new metroid. And just so you know, Super Mario DX is a top seller on gbc, and the super mario advances also do very well compared to the rest. So, do kids think its lame?

What I want to know is do you think this is enough to save the cube? Where are they going now?
I have always thought it is gonna succeed anyway, but I have read enough of other peoples opinions to at least admit the possibility that it will fail. But the new games that people have been waiting for are now being hyped and are coming real soon. I think this will help it a lot.
The average person may only buy one system per generation, but us "average users" that grew up with Nintendo are getting a lot older now, and have perfectly good jobs. PS2's are good, I won't take anything away from that, but $150 to have a second systems doesn't seem that unreasonable. For me, these are the exact announcements I have been waiting for to go out and buy a Gamecube. Also the price drop has provided further incentive for parents to choose the Cube for their kids.
Comments? PK
Engineers arn't boring people, we just get excited about boring things.
Thanks!
I've been waiting for a new Metroid for far far too long.
Beating Super Metroid over and over again to shave those 2 minutes off my time just doesn't get me off anymore. I was disappointed as hell when there wasn't a Metroid for the 64.
Those who doubt the possibilities of an FPS, think to Mario 64, which was perhaps the most amazing gameplay of a 3d game ever.
The grapple hook will be hella nauseating.
And the screw attack... whee! And what shooter allows you to freeze hovering enemies to use them as stepping stones?
Long as they retain the difficulty level of the original Metroid - Super Metroid is too easy.
Hear, hear! Just thinking about this makes me want to start coding... Anybody want to pool money for a GC development kit??? ;)
I'm done with sigs. Sigs are lame.
From nintendo.com:
Now, Samus is once again called to investigate Space Pirate activities on the unexplored Tallon IV. Her adventure begins as she enters a mysterious derelict spaceship.
The Metroid games have shown a lot of similarities in story line/plot elements to the Alien movies, as outlined nicely on this site. However the mentioning of a mysterious derelict spacecraft immediately brought to mind the abandoned ship which housed the eggs in the original Alien, which was even referred to as a derelict spacecraft in its sequel, Aliens.
What you really want is the Gamespot impressions from guys who have actually played these games:
Impressions
Perhaps its best the Zelda comes out next year. More time for Metroid and Mario.
It used to be hard and expensive, but with the libraries and graphics cards doing most of the work in 3D, writing a game in 3D is far easier. All you need to do now as a designer is:
1.) Design Models
2.) Design skeletal deformation scripts. (walk, run, jump, duck, roll)
3.) Write the game code.
4.) release the game title.
and if you want it to run on another system
5.) port the game code, and patch the few dissimilar graphics functions between machines.
It used to be that to build a game you had to:
1.) design models
2.) design skeletal deformations for all movements.
3.) render all movements and make dib sequences or some other indexed pre-rendered graphics sequences.
4.) write your own scene renderer for whatever format your game will follow.
5.) work out all the ugly crap that doesn't flow well.
6.) patch a cruddy game engine on top of your game 'cause your budget is now gone.
Then you had to go and trash everything if you wanted to do things better.
Now the market is flooded with people wanting you to use their 3D engine. They write all the graphics stuff and tweak it for library xyz which in turn is tweaked to run really well on xyz chip. Leaves the game developers free to design and build a better game.
My $0.02 will always be worth more than your â0.02, so
I really wish these titles would have been release titles, or maybe at the very least come out a little sooner than February. My GC doesn't have all that many worthwhile games out for it right now. Rogue Leader was fun for a bit, Luigi's Mansion got old fast, as did Crazi Taxi and Sonic. Super Smash Brothers is awesome and the best game I've played on the GC so far because Ihaven't gotten my hands on Monkey Ball yet and I hear it is just as addicting. The next title besides these I'm on the look out for is Clone Wars which looks like it will be pretty sweet to play.
Had Mario, Link, and Samus been in the initial wave of titles for the GC I think it probably would have sold even more units than it did. The classic Nintendo characters are franchises the XBox simply doesn't have and the playstation took several years to develop. I've played Metroid so many times I can hum the music to it on command. It disappointed me after getting my GC that some of the first games I had on my original Nintendo were going to take so long to get to it. The first Nintendo I got was the version with R.O.B and the light gun. From the get go I had Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt, and Gyroscope. Soon after I got Metroid and Kid Icarus which are two games I longed for on the N64 after I bought it off eBay. Zelda of course dominated a good deal of my time, I've got gold cartridge versions of both Zelda 1 and 2 lying around somewhere. I'm hoping these titles which have been in the works for a while turn out to be as entertaining as the originals. I thought Nintendo did a good job with Zelda 3 and Super Metroid on the SNES because for a while both games dominated my free time and cut into some of my sleep. While i would have hoped they came sooner I know three things I'm sticking on my wish list of nostalgic things.
I'm a loner Dottie, a Rebel.
There is a Bionic Commando sequel for GBC, which plays just fine on GBA. It's cool and fun.
There's going to be a new Super Metroid style Metroid for GBA coming out in the next year.
A new 2D Castlevanaia was one of the better release titles for GBA, I highly reccomend it.
They're coming out with a port of Yoshi's Island.
I agree about Kid Icarus and Life Force, though. Also it would be mad rad if Capcom would release Megaman 2, 3, X, and X2 for GBA.
And Super Streetfighter, my god, that game Ruled. but I guess there wouldn't be enough buttons.
The real question is if Square could release FFIV, FFVI, Secret of Mana, and Chrono Trigger for the GBA. I would be *first* in line for any of those titles, especially CT.
In Capitalist America, bank robs you!
Serves one or two.
Is it just me or does Link now look like a pokemon character with a green hat?
*Flush* goes the Zelda franchise.
Next round up, they'll say screw making consoles, and just make software....
The new Zelda looks much better than I thought it would be. The gameplay looks amazing! The "new look" actually doesn't even look that bad. I actually think now that the cel shading will end up making it a better game.
Doesn't the game summary for Zelda seem... well STUPID?
I'm sorry.. but this just seems so lame.. weak story.. :( I LOVED the zelda series.. I spent countless hours plaing the games.. Thats one reason why I loved the GB pokemon games... just like the first Zelda game... but this POS looks horrid. :(

Here are a few quick Gamespot coverage links. They contain much more information than the Nintendo links and provide screenshots.
Metroid Prime hands-on

The Zelda title gamespace
One day, Link witnesses a huge, menacing bird that snatches Link's younger sister and flies away with her. Link follows in hot pursuit. His search for her sets in motion an epic adventure that will have Link sailing the high seas and searching for answers to the mystery behind her disappearance.
I don't know... Trying to save your sister from the clutches of evil just doesn't seem to have the same effect as saving a beautiful, unrelated princess. I mean, unless [insert redneck joke here], don't you want to be able to get with the girl you saved at the end of the game?
It seems there are many comments of the form "now I have a reason to buy a GameCube". It will be interesting to see if Nintendo's sales really defy the normal trends, and surge instead of levelling off.
I hate to be a member of the XBox team. Imagine the XBox and the GameCube drag racing down the freeway, the XBox pretty impressed by its own top speed, when suddenly the Cube rolls down his window and says "Hey, buddy, how do get this thing out of second gear?" The Cube then laughs, peels out going from fourth to fifth, and smokes the poor XBox.

This is great news! I just today... today... bought a Gamecube and Super Smash Bros Melee. I just can't put it down. In fact, the only reason I'm on /. right now is because I have to eat dinner.
I haven't decided on Zelda yet, but from the looks of things Mario and Metroid are must-haves.
Now, somebody see about getting Bowser his own game.
Nintendo is so influential (at least it was in my life as a kid), that I STILL play Zelda: A Link to the Past on an SNES emulator for my Mac.
I converted to Playstation when Sega and Nintendo began to fade. Zelda 64, in my opinion, sucked... but I am confident "ZeldaCube" could be pretty good. Will I buy a GameCube to play it? If it brings back the mystery of exploration (like Link to the Past did but 64 did not do as well), I just might actually.
I love my PS2... but I do miss good ole Nintendo games.
The next comment I write will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and see it early!
There's a great collection of screenshots and videos up on the ign website.

Personally I can't wait for Mario Sunshine.. Mario64 was easily one of the most entertaining games I've ever played and it can only get better from there
-- The only thing I can be absolutely sure of is that you are reading this.
Seriously. Relearn why Miyamoto is so well respected. Then curse because the game is too damn short. Ah well. It certainly is -original-. And fun too.

Come someone explain why this was marked redundant? Nowhere in the link did it mention Mario Kart and i haven't seen it in the shops (at least not in the UK).
Hail to the king, baby!
Mario Kart is great, Diddy Kong Racing is a N64 game and Donkey Kong racing is coming. But No Kong Racing could ever top Mario Kart.
I know this may be a bit off-topic, but hopefully someone with a bit of programming skills will read it.
I am a Super Mario Bros addict. I have my NES still, clean and polished; I play almost once a week with a bunch of buddies. Nothing better than sitting around with a ~10 year old 2-d gaming system and jumping on innocent turtles.
But could someone create a multiplayer Super Mario Brothers? I'm talking team play; more than one Mario, both working together across the internet to defeat the King. It'd be like 2D Counter-Strike!
Oh, that would be the day.

Super street fighter II is on gba, and I can tell you it's bloody great. Much better than the crappy SNES versions, plays like arcade, but with a few new levels (ken's is cool, guile's is a bit shite)... Highly reccommended.
Send lawyers, guns, and money!
Where can I get a free copy of this?
Hot Damn 100!
I just hope that the music in the Zelda trailer is representative of the music in the actual game - since the 'cube is disc based, I don't understand why all games don't have full orchestral soundtracks. No more synthesized junk (except where it's appropriate, of course).
Metroid for the GBA looks rad, too. I'm looking forward to Metroid Prime, but the effectiveness of the first person perspective is still up in the air. Metroid Fusion, on the other hand, looks like it will provide some classic Metroid goodness.
Happy.

I have been following the Nintendo Gamecube news for some time. All the big games are far into the future. The release date for Zelda has been pushed back (IIRC this was announced after the price drop). Is Nintendo just trying to stop people from buying PS2, Xbox?
I'm sorry, but whoop-dee-doo, rehash city. These games are fun and all, but when you use them as a crutch like Nintendo has with every damn system they've marketed, it gets old. Ps2? XBox? Dreamcast? Go for it. Nintendo? Unlock the cryo vault and begin thawing Mario 14: Daisy World...

Seeing the preview video of Zelda reminded me of Those old Don Bluth games Space Ace and Dungeons & Dragons. They had comic humor, but more improtantly, they were completely animated (hand-drawn) games. The new Link has the animated look you might see in a cartoon rather than a video game. Even the new Samas Aran looks more stylish than real.
:)
I like this approach to V/G design. Sacrificing realism for style is definitely something that adds to the replay value of a game. I hate to sound like a Nintendo worshipper, but I think they've hit the nail on the head with these 2.
And incedentally, if I mysteriously disappear for a few days when these games come out...
Tell my parents that I'm very very happy
Those who can, do. Those who can't, simulate.
it sickens me to see how shortsighted most of the people on here are. i've heard people complain constantly about the lack of titles for the cube. nintendo has always waited a while to ship most of ther flagship games(zelda,metroid,mario kart, ect.) i don't think they'd really want to blow their load all at once, just milk the market a little. plus people don't crap out quality software like the peanuts in your dookie. i don't really hear crabs on here goin "man i wish Id would hurry up with doom3" cause people know they relase their games "when their done."
even if the storylines for most of ninjendoes games get a little repitive they have always been about on thing, game play.
so wait and see, i have faith in them(more than sony or M$)
i'ma leave yall with a short story about my 1st gen playtstation in case any one wonders about my slant on all this:
i bought a playstation when it first came out waiting for ff7 to come out, much to my dismay it took two years for that sucker to ship and my first gen ps's cdrom was toast by then. the playstation had no decent games for a while. (at least rpgs)

Kid Icarus, Bionic Commando, Metal Gear, Kung Fu, Metroid, Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, etc.
Damn, to go back to those days. I don't think there will ever again be an era of video gaming that was as fun as the early nintendo days. Grahpics sucked, sound sucked, and quite frankly the control usually sucked. That meant the designers couldn't rely on simply cinematic cut scenes, actor voice overs, realistic 3D rendering, and 5.1 surround sound explosions to sell games. They had to make them interesting and fun. With some exceptions, that sure seems to be a lost art today. Video games are a victim of their own technology. How many single player games exist that are worth going through twice, or ten times?
Contra? Metroid? Zelda? Hell I beat them more times than I care to remember, and had fun doing it each time. As much as I thought it was really cool, I only beat Max Payne once, then sold it. Same with all the recent final fantasy games. There is just no reply value anymore, since the whole point of most games seems to be to get through it to see all the cut scenes, then you are done.
Oh well, maybe at 23 I'm just past my gaming prime and too old to enjoy today's games. I still love playing them though (through an emulator). And today's multi player games mostly rock. But to go back to the days to great single player games...*sigh*
Now I'm all depressed. It's time for some Kid Icarus
*fucking eggplant wizards*

"Video games are a victim of their own technology. How many single player games exist that are worth going through twice, or ten times?"
I guess the Metal Slug series count here. 2D tasty glory, and lots of fun. Specially the 3rd one, gosh, Ive beaten that one like 50 times already, and the 4th game is in the oven! =)
So there are still some gems out there.

Anybody want to pool money for a GCN development kit??? ;)
Too expensive. You can get a pretty good set of GBA development hardware for under $300 at Lik Sang. Given that you probably already have a Windows computer (and if you don't, get one for $1000 at dell.com), I'll break down what else you need: $110 for a GBA with a pre-installed Afterburner internal light, $40 for an MBV2 cable to test out small (< 128 KB) programs, $100 for a flash cartridge and linker, and in the neighborhood of $30 for S&H from Hong Kong via EMS Speedpost. While you're saving up, you can learn the basics with Devkit Advance (GCC hosted on Windows or Linux and targeted for GBA) and VisualBoyAdvance (emulates the GBA's runtime environment).
Will I retire or break 10K?
Mario Cart? Which IMHO is the best racing game ever!
Except for the dozens of design and implementation bugs in the Mario Kart games. Super Circuit feels the most stable.
Will I retire or break 10K?
I can still hum most of the music perfectly for almost all the NES games, and the first wave of SNES games. The games today, except things like Hitman or GTA 1,2,3 have minimal replay value. Games that are fun to replay is how much murder can you get away with before you get nailed! Like in any of the games, you could get bigger, better and faster if you were more sklling.
;p
I remember wall jumping (the door wall ball unball warp trick) in Metroid to get the varia early, or killing lots of things to get the strength arrows faster in KID ICARUS! All neat little tweaks to twink out earlier.
EGG PLANT WIZARDS! AHAHAHAAAAAAAAA! Those freaks. The best. You had to find the hospital, and you best have a map. Remember you could negotiate the merchants in KID ICARUS with the second controller? Remember the map, torch and pencil? hehehe. The barrels, potions and feathers?

Zelda II was my fav, and the SNES Zelda was awesome. I got so good at Zelda II, well, it was absurd.
Those games had room for mastery. Few games do today.
I tried Max Payne. I beat it. No replay value, IMHO. It was good, the best part was his grumpy dialogue in between stuff.

I've been wondering if I'm the only one...
But I'm waiting for the Rareware games before considering the cube... Mario was ok, but its the sheer billion dollar gameplay of the likes of Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie which get me...
(Currently snapping up the old N64 titles, and stuck on level 9 on Banjo Kazooie)...
Beer certainly is one of the best parts of game playing. I'm sure it improves my aim on some games too.
why does Link look like a powerpuff girl? "Those eyes... Those horrible blue eyes!"

I have both titles and I must say it's hard for me and my wife to decide which we'll play. I still love Rogue Squadron but more or less me and her play Monkey Ball or Melee. The ultimate game for us would be to have the Monkeys in MB fighting in Melee while trying to solve the puzzle of the current level.....
