Forums - Nintendo - Is anyone else dissapointed by the Zelda announcment?

so you not only have not played Phantom Hourglass, but you also set yourself wrong expectations. I'm sorry but, it this is not "trolling", then let's call it to "ogring", because it's not very different from trolling.



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

The Zelda team(s) are workin', and never disappoint...

A great, epic DS game takes "only" 2 years of development, especially if it uses the same engine and the same control method as the previous game (PH), so it's quite normal to see the new DS episode first... and it will be great...

Now about the Wii one, it takes longer: it may need a new engine, maybe it will be cell-shaded, maybe it will be realistic à la TP, we don't know... it may need some experimentation with the wiimote and WM+, too... we don't know...

But i'm sure Aonuma and his team(s) are doin' the best they can to deliver another timeless classic, and chances are we will play it in 2010...

So no, no disappointment for me, the opposite i'd say: Spirit Tracks will be just fine, a perfect first course before the main one...

And btw, @OP: you shouldn't judge a game's quality on the first 2 minutes trailer you see... we know absolutely nothing about the "train" gameplay, we know nothing about the number of dungeons, the lenght and the scope of the game, etc... and visually, PH was wonderful, so... give the game a chance, and trust Aonuma & co: they are some of Nintendo's best, you should know by now...

I honestly truely think that if this game had someone else other then Link and the title of Zelda in it's name it would be considered shovelware garbage.

 this is so true with a lot of games.  Especially with this one.

Based on my experiences with Phantom Hourglass, no, it isn't.

Phantom Hourglass is currently the best Nintendo DS game, for my money, and I expect this to be as good or better. Shovelware Zelda doesn't happen, and I don't know where you guys get the idea that this game looks terrible. I'm not sure if you even play modern Zeldas, though.

No, I'm not disappointed. Any Zelda announcement is a great Zelda announcement. Zelda on the go is one of life's small pleasures.



I'm quite happy with the announcement. I really liked Phantom Hourglass so a sequel is a welcome addition.



The only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth.

Phantom Hourglass is an excellent title, so im confident that this one is going to be as good. I dont know how anyone can be dissapointed.

If you was expecting something big like Zelda Wii at GDC your expectations were too high.

 

You're right. 

GDC =/= E3/TGS.



if it looks like zelda phantom hourglass, it will be great !
i hope that they dont turn this into something like Banjoo Kazooei 360
the name TRACK gives me the creeps

LOL

like most ppl here, I'm generally not disappointed. There was a *small* feeling when I saw Zelda, then immediately realizing it was for DS. It quickly faded though cuz PH was great and I'm pretty sure we'll get a Wii zelda anyway.



You say it looked horrible but it looks real similar to Phantom Hourglass. Idk, I'm pumped for it.



People need to wait until they know a little more about a game before getting their panties in a know. We've seen one brief trailer, and people are already throwing fits about this game?

Honestly. People went baaaaw when the Wind Waker and Metroid Prime were first unveiled, and remember how they turned out?
