Zelda On The DS, Sega on the Revolution

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fight-the-power dept.

At the Nintendo Keynote today, Company President Iwata reiterated the same 'think differently' ideas that he espoused at last year's GDC. This time he had concrete data to back up his industry disruption message, detailing the millions in sales their 'Brain Training' line of games have racked up. Along with his message, he announced a new Zelda title on the DS, and the fact that Sega Genesis games will be on the Revolution, a part of the online library of games they're offering.

    Here's a link a page where you can view the released trailer for the announced Zelda DS game. Can't wait to get my hands on this!

      Better quality trailer over here, if you can put up with WMV.

    Those two links are backwards:

    Revolution to play Genesis and Turbografx games
    Zelda on the DS

    Been on display at GDC.

    Of course, if you are talking games, Iwata implied, and possibly flat out said (can't remember right this moment) that there would be playable games at E3 this year. Which, of course, is pretty obvious if they are planning to launch later this year.

    Nintendo has already used emulation lots: - Super Game Boy (SNES) - Pokemon Stadium (N64, emulates GB Pokemon Games) - Pokemon Stadium 2 (N64, emulates GB/GBC Pokemon Games) - Game Boy Player (GC) These I'm less certain, because of changes, but the memory card screens in the game as well as the disc loading screens make me pretty sure they ARE emulated: - Zelda Promotional Disc (GC, emulates Zelda, Zelda 2, Zelda OoT, and Zelda MM. Certain graphics and text have been tweaked in the final two.) - Zelda Master Quest (GC, Zelda OoT and MQ. Again, hud graphics and text referring to "Z-Targetting" has been tweaked to match the GC controller.)

    Alice has a transcript of the keynote. Missing a couple of phrases and names, but otherwise appears complete if you want to read what Iwata actually said.

    I wouldn't mind them porting Knights or whatever that game was called.
    I believe the game you're looking for is NiGHTS into Dreams for the Saturn:
    Players take the role of either Claris or Elliot, two children living in the city of Twin Seeds. In their dreams, they enter the world of Nightopia, where all human dreams are played out. An evil creature known as Wizeman is gathering power to take control of the dream world. The children attempt to save Nightopia by teaming up with NiGHTS, a Nightmaren (nightmare-dweller) who rebelled against Wizeman.
