Apparently, the new zelda MAY have three modes: game, digest, and scenes. Game will play normally, with a hint system that isn't required so that hardcore gamers can have their fun, and casual gamers can get help if they need it. Digest is where the game plays itself, and you can take over at any point or time. Scenes allows you to play through any scene or puzzle again. You may be able to record these puzzles and submit them via Wifi, but details are still not confirmed. Sounds pretty cool to me.

sounds good, but will Nintendo really do it? I doubt the info is totally accurate, since Nintendo never lets anything slip about their big games (minus Smash apparently) until they're actually released.

The hint system is kind of dumb though. It won't matter if I have hints or not if the game itself still isn't hard X_X;;

Sounds pretty interesting...

It's alright I guess.

Please god, make Nintendo's next console for Hardcore gamers. DX

Sounds interesting, but I could care less about Casual and Hardcore game modes. I'm more concerned about the game itself, not the modes it has. Hell, I could care less about game modes in Zelda, period.

The Digest mode sounds like a waste of precious time, and the Scenes mode sounds like Majora's Mask...on a DVD Player.

That says a few things to me despite the details. It gives me a small idea about the progress on the game. They'll hopefully have some sort of cut scene by E3 in June. It may just be plans and and they may not have any cut scenes, but that would anger me.. The thing I want more than anything, is to use a Game Cube Controller or the classic controller and/or have camera change. I bought the GCN version of Twilight Princess for the ability to control camera view.

The word Nintendo no longer belongs in the same sentence as Hardcore, unless you're saying how Nintendo is not Hardcore.

They've made their choice. Give it up. Buy a real console.

It's why I have a PS3 ^_^
You just wish they would at least throw us a bone here and there and they really haven't. And no Smash Bros. doesn't count...based on how the game design is and the online being worse than the Dreamcast X_X;;

Even Mario Kart Wii doesn't come close to previous installments of the series...
No More Heroes
MP3 (even if it was insanely easy)
and that's pretty much it. everything else was really shallow (save TP, but that was too easy and a carbon copy of OoT for me to count it)

MEH.

Replaying certain puzzles is all well and good, but I'd rather see a longer game with different difficulty settings instead of near-useless features that simply take up space on the disc.

Nintendo's become addicted to the almighty yen, there's no doubt about it. Of course, we all need to keep in mind that this is all hearsay. Nintendo has never leaked many details about a Zelda that long before the actual game was released.

and good on you for that. My family has a 360 as well, but I don't live with them 90% of the time. I just use my PC for games.

MP3 left a bad taste in my mouth. Not only was the whole game entirely scripted with almost 0 exploration, even when you skipped the hazard suit and all possible energy tanks ON HYPER MODE, the game was still frickin easy in comparison to the same thing in any other of the metroid games!

Nintendo won't stop doing cash-ins until the Japanese recession is gone.

Syncopathic · January 12, 2009, 06:37:04 PM

As long as this Zelda game is harder, and the temple design and music are better, I guess I'll be fine. Oh, and no annoying "FIND THE BUGS TO GO TO THE TEMPLE" bullpoop like TP. I hope to god they can make a better Zelda than Majora's Mask.

I just want a Zelda game that doesn't blatantly follow the OoT formula (glares at WW and TP)
and the bugs were freaking annoying. Cheap way to elongate gameplay X_X:;
