I don't see any obvious signs that they are run by the same people. Nintendo's UK Store seems to be run by Nintendo themselves. They're also offering the Luigi 3DSXL whereas GAME's website doesn't even have the unit for sale.

Mario Kart music has always been crap since after the SNES game. It's why I'm so mad they never implement audio options that let me turn it down but keep the FX sounds. Don't think it's his fault.
It's an interesting idea. There are some people saying it hurts the sense of discovery though. There are also some reviews criticizing the familiarity since ALBW pretty much takes place in LTTP's overworld.
I don't know how I feel about those things yet. They could hurt the game or it could be just another thing I brush off because the rest of the game is so stellar.

I read that spoiler thinking I don't care about story in Zelda games... I cared about story in Zelda games
I think it's great from a design standpoint. For those who aren't really good at games, they can make steady process buying the items. For those who think they're hot shit, they can add a little risk to their adventures (something recent Zelda games lack) in exchange for faster progression so they don't feel held back by the game's safety net/security blanket catering.

I jest. Now I have to clear my history so "neogaf link between worlds" will stop showing me the spoiler thread ;//
It's definitely interesting. Makes the pacing completely player-controlled, which is so good for replays. Makes me think this will be the kind of game I play many times over. Constantly taking different routes, doing dungeons in different orders. Speedrunning, etc.

Stay focused!
Anyway, a mod would have to do that, but it's not common practice

Is this anywhere in NYC yet?
im tempted to trade in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for this! I have both versions but i dont play them at all anymore!
I think it's great, knowing I get 60 fps.
The store is run by zavvi by the looks of it. Same UI as well in regards to the account stuff and order info.
EDIT: Yup the site mentions The Hut.

Except trading Kid Icarus in for anything is a crime against nature
Link wouldn't approve!I was planning on buying this Digitally and then eventually Physical later (I collect Zelda games)...but then I realized I had about 25 dollars in credit on Amazon.
I also had $10 in my SOFTWARE/VIDEOGAMES credit.
So I went into the help and asked how I redeem that...they said if I place an order they will add it manually.
Then this happened:

Candace is getting fired before Christmas... actually it's probably company policy to just go with it. Amazon hate pissing off customers and will usually give you shit if you're annoyed.
It grows on you I think, and from what a lot of people are saying the game looks excellent in motion. A large group of people on GAF are always going on about 60 FPS anyways, so Nintendo provided.
Can't freaking wait for this one, it'll be awesome. And then hopefully we'll have either a Majora's Mask remake or sequel on the 3Ds in the next couple years.
Yeah, they're honestly keeping me from getting over-hyped for this game.
I'd rather have 30fps and good art. No competition.
Plus he did the Galaxy 2 final boss theme that deserved a better battle to go with it. This guy is incredible.

Nope. It was directed by Hiromasa Shikata. Fujibayashi is most likely working on Zelda U.
Edit: Beaten.
Urg, hype could go to zero for Zelda U if this would be true. In a Iwata asks he said he wants his game to not confuse the players and offer a linear and obvious path which totally is SS and DS Zeldas

No thanks. Playability should be the foremost concern in a zelda game.

I still haven't warmed up to this game's art direction but I have faith in seeing it in motion. If there's one thing I've figured out it's that screenshots usually never do a game justice. Game seems to be something special with all the high praise/scores so I'm probably going to get it. It'll be the first Zelda game I've played since Minish Cap!

Been completely in the dark since the first trailer aired.
Can't wait till I finally get my hands on this game.

Don't do it! Go to the spoiler thread!
I never really liked the game, and difficulty of the game itself as well as the controls make it so I get frustrated quickly. And don't tell me 'use the stand'; it doesn't help.Don't do it! Great replay value
Get a second job
Has it been confirmed that all European versions of this game are the same (as in, all language options)? Or at least that the German release has an English text option?
I want to buy this game as a gift to a friend living in Germany, but I think she'd prefer the game in English. It'll be slightly cheaper for me to buy from amazon.de than amazon.co.uk, and she'd get it on release day too.

Im having a tough time seeing how the visuals are horrible in this game.

This video doesn't even do it justice. 60 fps is a big deal. Yeah, art design is lacking, I won't argue with anyone on that. But the game still manages to impress in person. They're not slacking here.
I think the game looks really good in motion. Not just because the 3D and 60 fps are awesome, but because it just looks good. Screenshots and videos on the PC don't do it justice and focusing on screenshots where they show Link upclose, something that rarely happens is misleading.
It's not a groundbreaking and highly imaginative art direction, but I like the look. I see no merit in the claims that it's lifeless, sterile, boring or whatever.

I thought it looked great since the first trailer so I feel ya.
The Link model is actually my favorite Link design thus far.

I don't mind the visuals in LBW (and I do believe you have to see it first-hand), but seeing them compared like this really nails home that LttP has a way more attractive look. It's a more inviting look that has more warmth if that makes sense.
But the visuals have been talked about too much imo, I'm sure the game is gonna be a classic and I couldn't be more excited for it.

I always took the art style as the LttP sprites in 3D, for better or worse. And at that, I feel it succeeds.
Can anyone link to (or just paste) the exact quote? Wondering if this is worth attempting or not.
Too much colour.
