Until Zelda SS releases in the US... now sure, I won't be getting it day one, but I am really looking forward to it. It sounds like it could be an incredible game, the game's so different from what we expect from Zelda in some important ways, but it sounds just as great. I have very low expectations from the story, but from the gameplay, I'm expecting great things...
Oh, for anyone who didn't hear, there's also going to be a $70 special edition that comes with a golden Wiimote+. Too bad there probably won't be a golden nunchuck to go with it...
On that note though, it's pretty annoying how NoA released blue and pink Wiimote and Wiimote+es, but did not release Nunchucks to go with them. One of my controllers is a blue Wiimote+, I wish there was a matching Nunchuk for it.
(I probably won't get the gold controller, though it'd be cool... I already have four Wiimotes, after all. Two black regular ones with black nunchucks and Wii Motion+ addons, one red Wiimote+ with red nunchuck (so lucky to find those used for no more than normal controllers...), and a blue Wiimote+ with white nunchuck. Oh, and one Zapper. I've been considering getting a second, but haven't yet. Of course though, the only Zapper game I actually own is Link's Crossbow Training... somehow I don't have any of the other Wii lightgun-style games yet.
But yeah, SS... a lot of things about the gameplay of this one sounds interesting, from the big open world overworld which you will have to revisit parts of as you progress, to the flight element to the game with the sky-based main town, etc...
I heard this on NPR and I thought this defiantly worth sharing..
Apparently Troy Davis who was executed last night, ordered enough food to feed a large third world country as his last meal, and then decided not to eat a single bite. :) The meal reportedly cost the state several hundred dollars and, he didn't even eat the food. Nice..
Now a Georgia senior has proposed a bill, eliminating last meal rights to condemned prisoners.
This is... neat. Read the whole thing though. It's not EXACTLY modelling the protean, but it's still useful, and now I want to play video games to CURE AIDS.
Also, it's taken almost nothing from Google's marketshare since it was introduced. Instead, most of its marketshare gain has been from Yahoo and minor, lesser search engines -- and given that Yahoo now uses Bing as its search provider, getting marketshare from Yahoo doesn't get Microsoft too much.
So yeah, wow, those are some big losses... I wonder how long MS will keep going on with them. At the moment anyway MS seems committed to Bing, regardless of losses.
They sure seem to be trying to! Tampa's only three games behind the Sox now, have beaten us four games straight now, and they're leading today's game already in just the first inning...
Honestly, at this point, if the Red Sox can't beat the Rays at home, they probably don't deserve to be going to the playoffs... though they could anyway, because the Red Sox have seven games against Baltimore in the rest of the season, while the Rays have seven against the Yankees. But we'll see.
The biggest news: Yes, it will have a single player mode! That's great to hear... I was really worried that it'd be multiplayer only like the GBA version was, and given that it won't have online play, that 'd make it unplayable for a lot of people again. It's great to hear that that's not the case.
Also, there are indeed some additional levels being added to the game. There'll be two new areas with three levels each, so six new levels. Not bad.
So yeah, this is pretty good for free, for anyone with a DSi or 3DS that is!
