Ha! Yeah, probably not the best screenshot to lead with.

Pretty good Nintendo Direct today. Lots of fan service. I'm looking forward to getting Earthbound on VC, finally. I've got the original copy for SNES, but it'll be nice to have it on a console that's hooked up all the time. Love that game.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Hmm... I started playing LTTP the other day. It's not a bad game by any means, but I honestly don't see what the big deal is. So far, I think it's better than Ocarina Of Time, but not as good as Adventure Of Link (my personal favorite in the series). I'll be interested in playing the sequel, though.
I am bad and that's good. I will never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

LTTP is their most well put together Zelda game in terms of pacing, challenge, crap to do, and overall feel. 

Ocarina of Time was junky.

I don't agree with this. Link's Awakening was so much more fleshed out. Using low res b/w graphics freed up their minds to make the overall game better, IMO. Its basically a refined LttP.

Maybe it was fine for people back in the day, but I always found it to be meandering and brown and soul crushingly dull. It hasn't aged well AT ALL though, that much is obvious. Looks like a f*cking Quake mod.

Here's the video:

I think it looks awesome. Going to check out the video on 3DS soon to see the full effect.

I love them both, but yeah...Link's Awakening was fantastic.

My problem with Links Awakening (My second favorite game.  3rd is Adventure of Link), is that some of the dungeons were a bit long winded and boring.  The overall story is pretty awesome though.

I was also a huge fan of the Dark World concept of LttP.   

Both Links Awakening and Lttp are basically the last time I gave a shit about Zelda.

Those Oracle games were alright, but nothing exceptional.

There are some sweet games coming for the 3DS, "Attack of the Friday Monsters- A tokyo tale" intrigues me the most.

Here's Nintendos update video

LTTP was awesome, but this 'turn link into a wall drawing" looks so stupid.  the big n is scraping the barrel with these cheesy gimmicks.
currently playing:
PCE - Raiden
SNES - Chrono Trigger
DC - Fast Striker

PCE LP

I just hope it doesn't use the stylus much. One of those was enough.

Nintendo has given its supporters ALOT to be happy about. Wonder what kind of goodies they have saved for E3?

Yeah, I don't know. It looks terrible here, but a lot of Nintendo's cheesy gimmicks are pretty f*cking great. Kirby's Epic Yarn, glasses-free 3D, Wario Ware Twisted, Wii Bowling...
