Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Zelda at E3 to have two demos, Nintendo asking press to free up 90 minutes.

'First impressions'.

Pretty important indeed, as evidenced by the above...



Around the Network

The pressure for this game to deliver is ever rising. I'm really looking forward to the demo and I'd love to have the demo on the eShop. If Zelda turns out to be amazing it will definitely help kickstart NX sales.
My most hyped Zelda game since Twilight Princess!



Nintendo is very confident about this game, and that makes my hype even stronger.

The only ones to blame are they with their constant teasing.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


So basically the demo is as long as the "tutorial" section of most recent Zelda games. Assuming the demo isn't in the same hand-holdy style as the beginnings of most modern Zelda titles, that would be a big step in the right direction.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Yes, I saw trailer and there is nothing that tells that game will be garbage.

 

Then you're in denial. Here's some of the "nothing" that tells us exactly what this game is.

Literally the entirety of the trailer screamed Sticker Star. The characters, or rather the lack of, instead nothing but generic toads, the same as in SS. The battle system, a stripped and watered-down version of the classics with no experience, FP, BP, partners, or special moves, the same as SS. It uses a resource mechanic, the same as SS, just replace stickers with cards, which can be found in the field, only making battles pointless and better off avoided. Even those god damn Thing stickers are back. How you progress through the game is segmented into stages/levels that you beat by reaching a goal at the end and that's it. Further still, instead of an interconnected world with areas logically joined together they just have a world map. Yep, all that was also in Sticker Star. Even small nuances like the frame by frame animation, not even a hiyah or woohoo out of Mario, and the attack names, types, and their icons are ripped straight out of Sticker Star.

So if you still think Color Splash is anything but Sticker Star 2 and thus trash then I'm not wasting anymore time with one who can't see what's right in front of them.

Gamers are notirious for overhyping things and then being mad when thier stupid expectations arent met.

 

I mean, just look at E3 hype every year. I cant have any hype for this year after last year was complete trash outside the Xbox presentation.

I understand your disappointment, (the only Ninty franchise  would say has honestly gotten screwed to the point of being "bad" is Paper Mario) but dont pretend your overblown pessimism is much better than his overblown optimism.

It is much better since it's based on actual evidence and reasoning.

Didnt you just look at a few stuff in a minute trailer then assume everything else is exactly like Sticker Star
