Oh, so they're Zelda fanboys too. That's good to know, since every Zelda fanboy out there understands a Zelda game by Retro would be shit.

Yeah, I sure hope they're making a spin off or something. The real Zelda should be made by talented people.

I don't wanna derail the thread more, but dude, the recent Zeldas aren't exactly the best things in the world, and ST is ridiculously 'safe'.

Talented or not, Zelda should be made by people who give a fuck about the franchise.

if "giving a fuck about the franchise" means having another mechanic-wise clonic Zelda with the same puzzles, structure, riddles, development, deja-vu all over it and "ohnoes, zelda's being kidnapped, go rescue her", I'd rather have ST.

The franchise has a serious problem right now: it's too damn easy and obvious for experienced players and it's a hell to figure out for people that haven't played a zelda at the same time. I mean, an experienced player sees an eye in a square and immediatly gets the bow out, or looks for deku sticks/fire arrows as soon as there's an unlit torch. A newby to the series can spend hours walking in circles without even noticing these elements in the dungeon. This has to change as soon as possible.

I don't think you got my post man. I meant exactly the opposite of what you think I meant.

ST will be exactly what you're complaining about. That's what I meant by saying that Nintendo does not care about Zelda. They're not putting any thought at all into the game structure, just building on what they created 16 (17?) years ago, therefore ST is 'safe'.

Actually the style and colours are much more reminiscent of gaming computers like the Amiga. Reminds me of Zool and another platform game whose name I forgot. I think the hero was an ant.

Funnily enough its actually supposedly a sequel to an old SNES/Amiga platformer called Oscar, so you're both right!

I guess it all depends on all of the clocks to put out.


Does anyone know what systems the DSi could emulate?

Neo Geo?
Turbo16?
Could it runn all SNES games? Super Mario RPG?

Pray tell me, who is this fine developer who thought this ingenious way of swiftly dodging all of Nintendo's efforts to prevent the poor DSiWare from getting its own Virtual Console?

How, pray tell, can someone be "burned" by Toki Tori?

It's an awesome puzzler. Were you expecting a platformer or something?

Oh, THAT kind of burned. Yeah, that happens. The game is just that good. I think my brain segfaulted on several of the later levels. So awesome.

The game is EVIL. Like, purely triple-filtered smooth peanut butter evil. I am really too terrified to go back and actually finish those last levels. That little yellow bastard is laughing at me from the SD card. I can hear him right now. Oh god I can hear him.


...so if Cave Story doesn't come out tomorrow I'm going to have a few words with that guy who said it would come out in August. The one hiding in the Cave Story topic. You all know him. Maybe.

About half an hour in and so far, the game is rather shitty. Every world has three levels, where you have to collect a certain amount of baby Oscars. If you've collected enough of the brats, you can go to the end of the stage, where you'll be able to finish the level by touching a specific character. The three worlds I played had the same formula in common, let's hope there are some other mission types later on.

... except it's not "Virtual ___" in any way, shape, or form; it's merely a port of a preexisting game. It's no more "virtual console" than Dr. Mario Express is.
