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 :)

    ...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."

    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.
