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)!"

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

  4. New Nintendo strategy? by sludgely · · Score: 2, Insightful

    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 what I was thinking. I couldn't tell if Metroid is 100% 3D, but the other two are. Are we doomed to never having 2D games again? 3D games can be good, and definitely have a place, but it's sad to see all 2D games "replaced" by them. Can't we all just get along?

    Mario 64 was cool, but if they made a 2D Mario as well, would kids really think it was lame?

    actually they already did just that in super smash bros.

    basically every nintendo character ever made is in there.

    Beer certainly is one of the best parts of game playing. I'm sure it improves my aim on some games too.
