I hope that someday Nintendo does a move like MM and changes settings, characters to freshen things up again.
Depending on what Nintendo is preparing OoT`s art style may fit or not. IF the game is like the first Zeldas i don`t know if it will be a good match or if people will notice because the view is basically 2D seen from above whereas OoT art style fits more into a 3D world. But we will see.

Honestly i wouldn`t mind having a game where you had to collect the triforce again and base the game around that, like in the first Zelda. Add a bit of exploration and adventure and make us search for the answers or for the places and how to enter those places.

Oh, I didn't mean to apply that I wanted a top-down view in a future Zelda, like that found in LoZ; I meant to say that I want a game similar in how LoZ was - not how it looked. I wanna get dropped right in the adventure, not quite sure where to go, trying to find the dungeons in the right order. I meant exactly the same thing you said in the second part of your post =)

Oh ok! Let`s hope Miyamoto is reading this! :D

I think EA vs Nintendo goes back to the Genesis vs SNES days. They were, by far, Sega's biggest third party developer and produced not even 10% of those games for the SNES - not even Madden in the early days.

Sports games are probably contractually obligated to appear on every system available with sales higher than an x number. That's why I think Wii and 3DS still have them. But no 3DS Madden  this year... probably because last year was a bomb, most likely

EA hated Nintendo for their draconion control over the NES. EA managed to get Sega to actually strike a bargain.

Which is ironic considering what happened with the DreamCast.

Haha totally!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Thankfully they hold no where near the "power" they held back back then, thanks for 2k and somewhat Sega.

Oh I didn't know that =D I'll be sure to get it when I get my hands on a 3DS :D

Yeah, I understand why younglings prefer OoT and TP; great games indeed! I just miss the whole exploration of LoZ.... The world was so BIG back then... Please Nintendo, just implement some of the 2D Zelda elements in the next 3D Zelda!!

You won't regret it!

Anybody else notice that the Wii U launches on the Gamecube's birthday (in North America)? I don't think I've seen that mentioned anywhere.

You better not jinxed the Wii U into becoming the GCN!!!  Actually, that wouldn't be that bad except for sales.

And the lack of first party games.


I had enough fun with their first party games.  Super Smash Bros Melee (college years) and Animal Crossing combined kept me busy for probably 2000+ hours.  Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario, Mario Golf, and a few others were pretty good.  I played the shit out of the Mario Golf.  Still disappointed that they didn't release Mario Golf for the Wii.

I have a feeling he meant 3rd party.

Some news about Dragon Quest X

Siliconera

 

As of last week, Dragon Quest X has sold about 556,000 copies in Japan, since its August 2nd release in the territory.

That isn’t a very good sales figure for your usual Dragon Quest game, but Dragon Quest X isn’t a regular game—it’s an MMORPG. That means its real success is measured in terms of the number of paying subscribers that fork over a monthly fee to keep playing the game.

The Nihon Securities Journal (via Anime News Network) reports that Dragon Quest X has about 300,000 subscribers thus far. Each subscriber pays 1,000 yen (about $13) a month, so that’s 300 million yen (about $3.8 million) in monthly subscription revenues if Square can keep that number stable.

In comparison, Final Fantasy XI, another Square Enix MMO, peaked at about 600,000 subscribers. It remains to be seen whether or not Square Enix can continue to grow the number of paying Dragon Quest X subscribers over the next few years to such a figure.

Dragon Quest X employs an interesting model that allows for limited free play, even if you don’t pay a subscription fee. “Kids’ Time,” which runs from 4pm to 6pm on weekdays, and 1pm to 3pm on weekends, allows two hours of free play each day for children.

Next year, Square Enix will also release Dragon Quest X for Nintendo’s Wii U console. The Wii U version of the game will feature high-definition visuals. Prior to that, a significant update for the game in October will add two new job classes, the Ranger and Paladin.

Additionally, Square Enix are working their way toward a re-launch of their latest MMO, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

 

What do you think. Good numbers or not?
