Nintendo Announces new Zelda, Mario & Metroid

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the time-to-snag-a-game-cube dept.

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)!"

    Metroid Prime is decidedly NOT 2D. It's an FPS w/3rd person for the ball sections.

    I hope a GBA Zelda is in the works

    You'll find Miyamoto demonstrating one here. It's multiplayer, even.

    A GBA Zelda is indeed in the works, but it appears that it won't be a new title. Instead, it's gonna be a remix of the SNES Zelda: Link to the Past, but with multiplayer support for co-op play.

    You mean like the four player linked GBA Zelda shown in Nintendo's press conference?

    Cause that might just hit the spot.

  8. Gamespot Impressions by bryanbrunton · · Score: 3, Informative


    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.

  9. Coverage at Gamespot by Lac · · Score: 3, Informative

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

    Metroid Prime hands-on
    Super Mario Sunshine hands-on

  10. Mario Sunshine screenshots / videos by cj_cliffe · · Score: 2, Informative

    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 :-)
