I've said it before, this will be the best selling game of the holidays in the US if they release in December.

Nope.


 I don't think it's likely, but you can't prove it's impossible to be the bestselling. The DS has surprised us a lot.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Yup. However, I think he meant that it wont if it is released in December. Now, if it were released in November, then it would have a greater chance.



Nintendo has been doing everything right. I mean holy shit. I was kinda wondering why they were going back to the cartooney look of the Windwaker but it hit me. DS is designed for the casual audience primarily!!! That means that a cute Link and brain teasing fantasy game is perfect. Holy shit Nintendo did it again. Big N is on fire this gen.

Meh, even in November there are too many big games around the holidays on the Wii and 360 (I'm sorry PS3 owners, but none of your games will make top 5 holiday sales, I'm not taking a shot that's just the way it is).  Grand Theft Auto, Halo 3, SSBB, and SMG really are tough enough as it is.  Still, it will easily make top 5 holiday sales if out in November.

Yes, I import myself as well, but since it goes by Airmail it can take or 1 week or 2 weeks.



This profile is no longer in use, see my other profile *~Onna76~*

Lik-sang used to get my US imports in from China to Australia in 3-4 days!! :(



I'm playing this game right now, wish i understood japanese (oh well) but its a blast!! The controls are a little weird in the beginning but now its pretty fluid except the occasional sword swing instead of roll. I'm in the second dungeon right now and they are amazing, it makes you forget you are playing a handheld. I'd also like to say that using the *spoilers i suppose* boomerang is PERFECTLY executed. I wondered how they would use it, after the first couple of uses it feels like uve been doing it that way all along. Even though i dont understand a lick of japanese, id give this game a 9.5

This is not going to be the biggest holiday game here, too many other massive games coming (Halo 3, GTA IV being the two biggest).



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
