[Yoshichan]

I don't even know! ._.

I didn't do it.

I know you did it!

 

[BY2K]

Waiting for Japanese site update...

Ohshit...

With that and the storm or review... It's gonna be a busy night.

 

[Door2Dawn]

Why would you do that? What's the actual point of watching so much footage? The game is out in a mere matter of days.

Shush! I need mah fix!

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

My body. It is ready.

 

[chronos4590]

Hahaha, awesome. Though that weather forecast doesn't fit very well. =P

Yeah I had an Icon for the weather too but it looked so weird so i took that off and just kept the forecast. Still going to fix it up move things around and update it.

Dark Lord Ganondorf on the Soundtrack CD.

GOOD... GOD!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

What's with the black square on the right?

Dead pixel.

 

[Yoshichan]

Dead pixel.

Haha, it's like a 6x6 pixel XD

 

[chronos4590]

Man Dat Zelda is perfect. Easily my favorite version of her aesthetically and probably in personality as well.

 

[Bisnic]

Dark Lord Ganondorf on the Soundtrack CD.

GOOD... GOD!

Which one is it? The Twilight Princess or Wind Waker one? Both are great anyway!

 

[Uchip]

It was moved up.

 

[LaneDS]

Where did these Skyward Sword soundtrack videos on YouTube stem from? How many tracks are available? I've stayed in the dark largely so apologies if this is a silly question.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Hate to tell you guys this, but the embargo ends tomorrow morning at 9:00am...

BS.

 

[Yoshichan]

Man Dat Zelda is perfect. Easily my favorite version of her aesthetically and probably in personality as well.

Agreed. I've even disliked how Zelda looks in pretty much every game previously, but this time around I'm loving her design! In fact, the Zelda art work is the reason I got interested in this game!

IGN: 10/10
Gamespot: 10/10
GameTrailers: 9.8/10
Eurogamer: 10/10

You got them all right except Gamespot and 1up.

 

[Yoshichan]

Predictions!

IGN: 9.5 (they just gave Uncharted a 10!)
Gamespot: 9.5
GameTrailers: 9.6
Eurogamer: 10/10
1Up: A-

 

[pramath]

You got them all right except Gamespot and 1up.

Really? What do you think GS and 1Up will score it then?
I can actually see an 8.5 from Gamespot, but I'm holding out for a 10, to be honest.

 

[brandonh83]

I know you did it!

I just opened the original file and there's no black dot. it'll go away when the embargo lifts.

Setting ourselves up for disappointment.

Gamespot a 9 or 9.5.

1up an A.

My guesses I guess.

 

[AceBandage]

Setting ourselves up for disappointment.

So... straight 5s?

 

[pramath]

Okay, so I'm going to list out all my favorite Zelda games in order from most favorite to least, because I'm very bored right now

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons

I never did play enough of the NES games to form an opinion on them, and I don't consider the Four Swords games canon, so I did not list them here.
Spirit Tracks is God awful, and I don't believe it to be a part of the series, which is why it's not there.

 

[Kard8p3]

Hate to tell you guys this, but the embargo ends tomorrow morning at 9:00am...

It's been moved up. IGN will have their review up at midnight and so will giantbomb.

 

[Effect]

The GameStop Now Play is pretty good. I knew I'd get spoiled to some degree but I think it's worth it just to see how the game really plays in a normal setting and to see someone explain the new controls. For some reason I pictured holding the Wii remote differently to fly. Takes away any concern I might have had after seeing the Nintendo rep use it to fly.

The next several weeks are going to be great. Mario 3D Land this weekend. Making the trip just for it as I can't wait. Then Zelda next week. Then Mario Kart 7 and Fortune Street (game has grown on me). Zelda will be the center piece of course.

 

[Yoshichan]

I just opened the original file and there's no black dot. it'll go away when the embargo lifts.

That makes me wonder how I managed to do such a thing XD

Lots of people expecting 10s.

Easy way to set yourself up for disappointment, even if it still gets an amazing score.

The only guaranteed 10 is IGN.

 

[pramath]
