The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

^ 100% agree.

i hated phantom hourglass and this looks even worse.

the zelda started dying with windwaker. not to say windwaker was bad...it just started going downhill from there.

after watching the trailer for this...i had to counterbalance the garbage factor of this with some link's awakening

When I saw the title I thought "Sweet, they are making a Zelda kart racer!" But I guess not.

Link's Awakening DX is easily my second favorite Zelda game, with Ocarina of Time being my most favorite.

Oh fantastic. Another forum thread full of precious little petals whining on about touch screen controls.
Why is it that when it comes to using the DS touch screen, you people turn into a bunch of moaning nancy-boys?

Phantom Hourglass is the game title that made me go out and buy a DS Lite. The touch screen controls were fine, and I played through the entire game several times, without any problems.

If there is one minor flaw in PH's control method: it would be doing the somersault dodge. Even with practice, I could only get it to work every 2 out of 3 attempts. So what? Its a minor flaw, and certainly not a game stopping annoyance. I hardly used that move anyway. Not a big deal.

It's not like the game is difficult or anything. What's really the problem here?
Is it because you're afraid of change?
Or is it because you're too cheap to buy a screen protector so your touchscreen doesn't get all scratched up by actual use?

Seriously, the DS is a touchscreen device. What's so horrible about using the touchscreen to play a game on that device?

 

[Skyline969]

PH did have amazing touchscreen controls, I'll give it that. I, too, didn't like the somersault dodge. However, I found another annoyance - drawing the hourglass to stop time. I was scribbling figure-eights for a long time until one finally registered and I was able to take down the final boss. If they don't have that in ST, we'll be fine.

Why does everyone complain about touch-only controls? Just because the Dpad is there? Hell, the iPod Touch doesn't even have buttons, and I don't hear too many people complaining about 'stupid gimmicks'.

I just seen the trailer, and I think I'll pass on this one.......Nintendo's into remaking games, why the hell wouldn't they just remake Link's Awakening, with preferably, Ocarina of Time graphics...at the very least...

 

[Domination]

Wow. Just wow.This game looks amazing.
First we had Link on a boat on the high seas now we have Link on a train( I love trains ). I think the Link in conductor uniform is cute

Are you serious? You are begging for another remake? I don't get it. They are giving you a brand new Zelda and you're asking for a 3D remake of a 2D classic.

 

[ConJ]

Fair play. Looks great. Cant wait to play it.

 

[ShadowScythe]

This looks nice. I'm still waiting for an Ocarina of Time remake for the Wii. We definately need that one.
I bet that the next game will have flying in it. I mean....Sea, Land and Sky! (Or was there already something like that? [maybe a theme?] I haven't played Wind Waker.)

 

[MicShadow]

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a dud? But I wont judge it until it comes out.

another remake? i don´t remember there was a remake of a zelda game.

 

[Sanderino]

Lol those trians in it

Can't wait

 

[megabug7]

If a Zelda game should be remade it should be Zelda II - The Adventures of Link.
Imagine the bosses transformed into 3D. I hope at one stage they will consider it.

As for Spirit Tracks - Excellent news - can't wait.

Wait, what? Did I really just read that?

You need remakes? Okay NO, that is exactly what we DO NOT need. The very idea is completely ridiculous.

Old consoles already play old games perfectly. Go and buy an N64 from your local second hand shop. They're dirt cheap now. Combined with a copy of OoT, the whole deal will probably cost you less than the price of a new Wii game.

Too many old games are getting rehashed for new systems, just because people don't hang onto the older hardware.
Game publishers are lazy enough already, releasing "Classic games" and shovelware. Demanding more old games will only encourage those damn publishers to get even worse.

It's time for re-released games for current gen systems to die.

New content or GTFO. I don't want to still be playing Donkey Kong Classic on Nintendo's latest console when I'm 85 years old, dammit.

 

[Defiance]

Umm... Looks really boring with no new aspects. Nty.

Hopefully this won't be as bad as it looks
