I'm so behind on the Zelda series

after I finish Super Mario 3D Land & GTA: Chinatown Wars, I'll pick up Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks

The sailing for Windwaker to me, though long and arduous at times, was insanely epic. I mean king of red lions ***** on epona all day and once you learn the melody to transport with the Windwaker its not so bad.

And the cartoonish graphics are what makes the game so ridiculous to me. It looks so innocent when you first start playing but you quickly realize how large scale the game is. The facial expressions, the quick time reaction when your sword glows I mean this game is perfection when it comes to Zelda. Link stabs ganondorf in the head and leaves the master sword there! I don't know what's better than that!

And TP is pretty much ocarina of time with wolf stages. I won't lie there are some EPIC dungeons and even MORE EPIC boss fights but when you finally beat it you left realizing you just played ocarina again with a darker tone

Loved Windwalker, haven't played a Zelda game since (never copped a Wii and my Gamecube broke by the time TP dropped)

I just hope the next Zelda has voice acting, not sure if thats something Nintendo is against, but I think it could be dope (Link could remain silent, but I think it would be cool to hear some of the other characters speak)

I find it crazy how there have been no leaks at all, I know Nintendo is a secretive company but damn.

Something tells me that E3 will have a SEGA/Bayonetta type announcement since Nintendo is focusing on partnering with 3rd party companies to bring exclusives to Wii U.
My guess, Capcom is next.

These dudes @ NeoGaf are crazy

[nawghtyhare]

[guzzy]

These are the 4 demos that Best Buy will have for people during E3 according to a BB employee.


 

Will they be giving away gear at all the BB or only certain ones??

Anyways I'm geeked, bout to diddy bop into BB on Tuesday and try out WW.

 

[shogun]

Windwaker is my second favorite zelda game and could be my first if it wasnt for nostalgic reasons . Majoras Mask being my numero uno.

I asked someone once why they didnt like Windwaker and he said because of the cartoonish graphics. people really dont like games that are cel-shaded.

Havent played TP though...

I really enjoyed Windwaker. I liked that it was different and it was fun to play. Glad they went back to the traditional style for Twilight Princess though.

Not sure, not even sure if the poster is real or not, some say it isn't and some sources claim it is.
Also not every Best Buy in the country will be having the Demo stations, there is a select list of them.

This is the link that shows which BB will have the kiosks with the demos on them.

Summary on what was shown in the Nintendo Direct this morning.

Nintendo WII U News

Super Mario 3D World: For the first time ever, Nintendo has created a four-player Mario game set in a 3D world. The game, developed by the same team that createdSuper Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS and the Super Mario Galaxy games for Wii, lets up to four players play as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad. Each character has his or her own unique characteristics, and people can play cooperatively or competitively. The new cat transformation turns characters into adorable felines that can scratch enemies and even scamper up the flagpole at the end of levels. Clear warp pipes add some new puzzle elements to game play. The game is scheduled to launch this December.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: The first Wii U installment in the franchise comes from Retro Studios. The side-scrolling platformer has beautiful HD graphics that show fine details, such as Donkey Kong’s fur. Dixie Kong joins the adventure, which features the Kongs swimming underwater and moving from the foreground to the background. This time, the camera changes perspective on certain levels to enhance the sense of motion and to deliver new experiences. The game is scheduled to launch this November.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD: The classic Nintendo GameCube game has been enhanced with beautiful HD 1080p graphics. In one change from the original, the Tingle Tuner has been replaced by the Tingle Bottle, which uses the Wii U GamePad controller to post comments about the game to Miiverse. Comments from players wash up on the shores of beaches in the game. Players also have the option to sail faster than they did in the original version. The game is scheduled to launch this October.

Mario Kart 8: The newest installment of the gold-standard racing game introduces an anti-gravity feature that has karts racing up walls and clinging to inverted tracks. Elements from previous Mario Kart games have made their return, including gliders and motorbikes. The game will support online multiplayer and will have deep integration with Miiverse. The game is scheduled to launch in spring of 2014.

The Wonderful 101: This PlatinumGames original launches Sept. 15. Players take on the role of Wonder-Red, leader of a group of superheroes. Individually they are overpowered by invaders from space. But by working together, they can transform into a fist or blade and unleash massive attacks on their enemy. The polished, over-the-top look and music evoke classic superhero comics and cartoons.

Bayonetta 2: Developed by PlatinumGames, the game’s title character has had a makeover that gives her a new hairstyle and costume. Her climactic abilities are more powerful and the action is as intense as ever. The game is scheduled to launch in 2014.

Players can ride human-shaped robots at certain points in the game, or use the robots to battle enemies in the sky. The game is scheduled to launch in 2014.

Wii Party U: Enjoy board games and mini-games on the TV, play familiar tabletop games using the Wii U GamePad controller or transform your living room into a game show floor. No matter what kind of party you’re throwing, Wii Party U offers something for everyone. The game is scheduled to launch this October.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that Retro went with Donkey Kong for their first title on the Wii U.
I absolutely love playing DKCR on my 3DS but I would have liked to see them do Metroid or some new IP.

Looks like the list that was floating around the web of the Best Buy demos was fake, these are the 4 games they are offering there.
