Wait, GDC is tomorrow. Man did I space out. Glad I'm off from work. I'm guessing we might not get anything new from Nintendo involving the Wii U, but I atleast have some kinda hope that some big news will spill from this.
But.. it feels so far away.. *sniff*
Sorry, you must have a gaf GOLD membership to board this hype train ;-)

Wow, that train. I want in on this insanity.
I want to believe.
I thought that the only requisite was that you need to have blind faith in Iwata, Miyamoto and Reggie!
I skipped them on the Wii despite being a huge fan, not this time though day 1 for both when they come out for the Wii U.
dude, learn when someone is soliciting you for a bribe
Agree, that would be awesome, I think we'll get one.
I have a wood membership.
I'm not crazy about the sound of that, creepy.

I'm glad I stopped paying for GAFGold and switched to GAFWood. Saves me a good $2500 a year, and the insurance plan covers dental!
That's rare to get being a monkey.
Coming from you, GAFWood sounds like a euphemism of some kind.

You don't say.
Yeah, it's hard being a monkey out there *MonkeyBroFist*
So.. who is going to have the honor to start the third speculation thread? BG?
I think we should give Acebandage a shot.
He's sort of like our mascot at this point anyways, so that's a good idea.
The craziest fact is still that this thread has way more views than most threads on GAF. I mean: this topic was created in 2012, look at all the others with almost the same amount of views. I think the HYPE TRAIN helped with that XD
Amazing. I will miss that thread when Wii U launches. Maybe we will have some kind of "Nintendo Speculation" thread :lol

Thread pwned by guek!
But thread mastered by AceBandage!
wasn't that your old PA tag, guek? Or am I mixing you up with someone else?
That's me, baby
That would be quite a shocker.
I'd love two or three moments during the E3 presentation where you can audibly hear the often-skeptical/jaded crowd gasp or cheer in reaction. That would be rich,

fuck the haters, Twilight Princess was friggin awesome. Maybe not a masterpiece but an incredible game nonetheless.
I remember getting chills watching that. It was only afterward that I thought about the crowd's reaction being notable. I suspect it'd be tougher to get that kind of reaction from the crowd these days.
But yeah.. I want gasps!
Totally agree with you. I don't take most Zelda hate seriously because most of it seems like luxury problems compared to other games.
Twilight Princess had its flaws, but personally I loved every bit of it - dat overworld theme for example.
I got to the temple of light and stopped. I never stopped playing a Zelda game before :/
The closest reaction we get to that now is when a bunch of dudebro hacks give MS a cheering ovation when they get given free consoles.
This is where we are now.

I vastly preferred Skyward Sword.
Well, isn't the reason for those boring crowds of today's E3s that those crowds mostly consist of journalists and investors?

At that point i already quit my nintendo friendship and sold the Wii and i do not want to get him back just for Skyward Sword. And what i heard and saw from Skyward Sword even Twilight Princess seems much better than that game.
Skyward Sword has vastly more compelling dungeons. TP has the better world. Actually, it has some semblance of a world, SS is basically emptiness between dungeons. Nothing will beat the pirate ship ever.
I loved the dungeon with the Timeshift Stones. It made me question my feelings over where I'd like to see the series go.
(and the music there is sooooo goooood..)

So they should just take the overworld from Twilight Princess and the dungeon design from Skyward Sword and make Zelda HD for the Wii U
Before ever playing the game I envisioned a similar mechanic for a Wii U Zelda game...where the second screen would show you the world as it was at another time. Sigh, so much that can be done.
