Reminder that 2016 is Zelda's year.
Between Hyrule Warriors Legends, Twilight Princess HD, and Zelda U, the series is going to have one heck of a 30th anniversary.
Zelda U is the series' last chance.

I liked how skyward sword had an Ingame "It's the 25th anniversary" event

Midna's humanoid form makes my dick diamonds everytime.
>tfw you will never get to be fucked by her
>>320935280
No need for that.
>>320934037
I wholeheartedly agree.
>>320935047
I didn't. Made it feel cheesy. What happens when they remake it? They'll retcon it? Itwas a stupid reference. Same with the LD-Link-16 part. There were arguably more than 15 Zelda games if you count Four Swords which they rereleased that same year.
Threadly reminder that there is no bad mainline Zelda game, as much as memesters would like people to believe that to be the case.
>>320935409
>Midna's humanoid form makes my dick diamonds everytime.
Then I take it you enjoyed what Team Ninja did to her in HW?
>>320936086
but what would a mainline zelda game be classified as? i mean there is no concrete line of zelda games, so the CDi games are just a valid as the ones on nintendo consoles.
zelda is dead and ZeldaU is the final nail in the coffin

>There were arguably more than 15 Zelda games if you count Four Swords which they rereleased that same year.
What are you talking about? Other than spin-off shit like Crossbow Training and the Tingle games, remakes/rereleases, or weird obscure shit like the CD-i games and the Game and Watch games, there were only 15 mainline Zelda titles before Skyward Sword's release -- and that's including Four Swords.
LoZ, AoL, ALTTP, LA, OoT, MM, OoS, OoA, FS (they counted it), WW, FSA, MC, TP, PH, ST and Skyward Sword makes 16 -- hence LD-Link-16. What other games would you count?
I loved Ocarina of time and I'd love to play MM as I didn't give it a proper chance when I was younger
That being said is it worth me buying the new 3DS XL just to play the new 3D version? I will probably play a select few other games like link between worlds etc but I'm not really a fan of weeb games
TL;DR should I buy a new 3ds xl just for zelda games?
>>320939048
yeah, but do take a look at some other games as well, like fire emblem
>>320939314
Fire emblem looks a bit weeby tho, I know it's stupid to buy a japanese console and not want to play weeby games but I just fucking hate the artstyle.
>>320939418
How many games have you not played because of an anime artstyle? It takes a while to get used to if you generally don't like it at first, but you're missing out on a lot of great games.
>>320940431
I'm thinking of getting one, What would be the games you'd recommend?
So we're only getting Zelda games for anniversaries now..?
>TP for the 20th
>SS for the 25th
>ZU for the 30th
This is life now?
>>320940753
You're thinking of getting a game with an anime artstyle or a 3ds? I'm not the guy you originally replied to btw. I was just chiming in.
>>320940782
I don't particularly think it's intentional.
However, it will be interesting to see if Metroid gets shafted next year as well.
>>320941098
I dunno, I think after TP that's just how shit turned out. TP would have been a 2005 GC release if development wasn't split, and with the tech being researched for SS earlier, we might have seen SS by 2009.
>>320941098
We're already getting Federation Force. What more could you want you entitled gamer?
>>320940753
Fire emblem for one, but that's if you like strategy games and Hyrule Warriors Legends that's coming out, but I think /vg/'s nintendo general could help you more, they have a bunch of recomened games

I knew this already.
I can't wait for TPHD.
>>320932039
After Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword I really lost interest in the IP.
I'm pretty sure Zelda's next open-world will be
disappointin, I just don't believe in Nintendo's ability to deliver on this point.
>>320934037
How many last chances is this series going to get? It's been shit for well over a decade now. Just replace Aonuma already.
>>320942729
>Shit for over a decade
>What is ALBW
>What is SS
this series peaked a long time ago, it's time to move on
>>320942847
Move on? There's only one main installment every 5 years at this point, and they bring in different developers to help out and shit. If anything they're good at keeping it fresh.
If you want to speak about moving on, speak about FF or Souls.
>>320932039
>Hyrule Warriors Legends
Why would anyone buy this when there's already a better version?

You're an idiot
I'm excited about Zelda U. I actually was getting bored with Zelda. But replaying OoT and MM after playing ALBW made me fall in love again. And from what Nintendo has been saying about them using ALBW has more of a base with it's freedom I can't wait. TP not so much. I don't hate it like with SS but I just never really could get into it like the other Zelda games.
>>320939048
3DS isn't the weeb console, that's vita
>>320941751
>ALBW
>Spin-off
Meh, TP HD will be good, but it's just a port. Not even remotely interested in Hyrule Warriors and Zelda U is looking to be shit if Aonuma actually thinks LBWithoutADifficultyCurve was good.
>>320936086
Oracle of Ages, Four Swords, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds, and Triforce Heroes (never played this but nobody talks about it), are all horrible or mediocre (ALBW, it deserved GOTY but only bc the competition was awful).
I wouldn't hesitate to throw MM3D into that pile too were it not for for the fact I'm going to play it soon.
A real fan knows when to admit that something is bad. I would let you take OoA and say that SS had a decent story if you come at me kicking and screaming bc that game isn't entirely rotten to its core, but the others can sink to hell for all I care.
>>320938684
Oh you're right. I'm medicated on Mucinex right now and my counting function is glitching.

He means that it's the 25th anniversary of the sky academy in-game. Which makes no sense seeing as eons have passed since Hylia. What was everyone doing in that time? Not defending themselves from sky monsters?

>>320949323
I agree that it's a spin-off because it doesn't have its own world. Hyrule and Lorule are the same as ALttP mostly. Another reason why it sucks.
>>320949686
I'm praying that he's demoted and put in a position more suitable to his talents. I'm just glad the real trouble-maker doesn't seem to be on the team yet. Hidemaro Fujibayashi. If I see his name I'm boycotting it.

>Between Hyrule Warriors Legends, Twilight Princess HD, and Zelda U, the series is going to have one heck of a 30th anniversary.
Only Zelda U out of any of those will be worth a damn. Maybe TP HD as well if they substantially change the game, like removing the filler and actually making it more difficult.
>>320934037
ALBW was a MAJOR step in the right direction. All they need to do is just make ALBW, but in 3D. Literally all they need to do. They can't fuck that shit up.

Shovel Knight is pretty fun. I'd say if you find a holiday deal go for it.
It's hard to be excited for a new Zelda game for me by this point. There's nothing about the WiiU game we've seen so far that's mindblowing or promising. I'm not saying it'll suck, but I think people should try to control their excitement.
ALBW was surprisingly decent though.
>>320949919
Every time.
Give me Zelda U. I don't give two shits about Hyrule Warriors or Twilight Princess. Rereleases and half-assed experiments can only go for so long.

>>320964961
You have sadly unrealistic hopes. If there's one thing Aonuma and Miyamoto are dogshit at these days, it's making a good story.
>>320964961
Amen to that. Ghost Zelda is still the best
Who cares Zelda sucks
>>320965523
They need Koizumi back who I believe wrote the majority of Ocarina of Time + Links Awakening + Majoras Mask. He was also someone who wanted more storytelling in games at the time.
Say what you want but it's a crime Nintendo leashed this guy to Mario, the least story-focused franchise they have.
>>320965892
It is a shame Koizumi isn't working closer on Zelda, the guy is brilliant. But that said, the dude has made some really goddamn good mario games.
>>320965652
here's your reply
>>320932039
30th anniversary? Already? Didn't they have their 25th like five years ago?
>>320966092
Absolutely. Still, it's puzzling they green-lit the shit-fest that was Metroid Other M with Sakamoto. I'm not looking for a grim-dark Zelda. It was Aonuma that added the more light-hearted parts in Majora's Mask though which is why Twillight Princess felt lame when it tried to be grim or dark.
>>320966393
No shit.Times goes pretty fast. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Then again, Skyward Sword was a huge disappointment so it's not hard to forget
>>320966851
>Here I was thinking of all the Links gang-banging Linkle
Hmm, interesting.
>>320953697
Because TK wanted to spur some more porn of their waifus.
Obviously one chick on the team decided to get Ghirahim in so she could get some porn of him tonguing a bitch.
Meanwhile Metroid's 30th anniversary is going to see nothing. Fuck you Sakamoto.
I am happy for Zelda though.
>>320965892
It WOULD be a shame if his games weren't some of the best Mario games, hell best games of all times.

There hasn't been a new F-Zero in well over a decade, they've probably been really cautious of Metroid since Nintendo hasn't made one in-house in over a decade.

Majora's Mask had great synergy between the dark and the light-hearted parts, they really need to do that sort of thing more often. It was just them focusing on it more, as Nintendo games always have some sort of fucked up thing halfway through them.

>>320968842

Because Isold the Wii U version for Pokemontwo years ago and I finally got a New XL this year, so why not get the definitive version so I have something exclusive to play on the handheld?
>>320968950
I really hope that was game footage with a changed camera angle.
>>320969181
nope, but it was new footage nontheless.
>>320969810
I still wonder what's going on with Zelda Wii U.
We know nothing about the plot or time of the game. We've only seen Hyrule Field and some forests and horse riding. There's futuristic technology involved (like those bots from Skyward Sword) and Link isn't wearing his signature green tunic in any of the demos.
Just what the fuck is going on?
>>320970491
>>320969415
Do we actually know that?
From Xenoblade, we know the Wii U could handle it.
>>320970523
Something tells me when it was revealed in 2014 it wasn't very far into development. It looks like an entirely new engine.
>>320970587
Do we know...what? That it was new footage?
I don't understand you.
>>320970587
The Wii U, yes, but can Aonuma?
Are we looking at a good game, or Wind Waker 2: Now It's An Ocean of Grass?
>>320968886
it even got representation in Smash with the Phantom
the Phantom parts were pretty cool (except the very last one ugh)
>>320970562
So will Ganon's Trident in HWL be 3DS exclusive or patched into the main game as well? Loving him so far, holy fuck.

The trident is transferable. Game comes out next month in Japan and two months later in America. We'll know how everything works soon enough.
>>320971567
NX if it has any better features.
>>320970683
Yeah. It makes me wonder if we'll see it released on both Wii U and NX (Similarly to TP being released on both GC and Wii).
>>320970806
Wind Waker was such a rushed mess near the end. Skyward Sword wasn't rushed but that was garbage as well.
I just want a consistently good Zelda game again but looking at most open world games this year, it'll be quantity over quality.I actually considered getting a Wii U just for Zelda. Now I know what happiness is like by dodging that fucking bullet.
>>320971567
NX will feature right-handed Link again and the whole game is mirrored from Wii U
>>320971567
NX depending on how it runs, if it ends up on there.
Skyward Sword didn't, so it's not exactly definite.
>>320953697
Agatha was more memorable than the rebel group.
>>320970683
The game was supposed to launch by now and they said so very early this year.
The game is very well deep in development already. They're just delaying it for NX
>>320971906
SS wasn't ported to Wii U simply because it relied heavy on motion controls for everything and Wii U wasn't planned to come included with a Wiimote.
>>320972075
Is that actually something that's true?
For Twilight princess they mirrored the game and added motion controls. What's to say that they couldn't do the opposite?
>>320972382
The gameplay was still the same. You simply wagged the wii mote to simulate B button or shaking the nunchuck for quick spin. It's easy to map button commands into motion commands.
Same can't be said about the opposite. How can you simulate SS slashing with buttons?
>>320969465more cute samus plz
>>320962640
I'm less worried because the footage specifically and more because Zelda has a history of big and empty overworlds and going open world would only exacerbate that.
>>320970491
Looks like he might be senior knight in Fire Emblem before Awakening.
>>320972528
The second control stick / touch-screen.
It's not exactly ideal, but Nintendo hasn't been known to do the most sensible things.
It may come to NX, but it's not definite.
>>320970683
They'd been making it since what, 2010?

This made me curious.
We know what engines most developer use at this point, but I don't think I've ever seen any talk about Nintendo engines. How often do they make new engines, what games use what engines, is there any info about that?

>>320971979
>The game was supposed to launch by now and they said so very early this year.
They said Zelda was aiming for 2015, and never said a specific release date. I think Aonuma bit off more than he could chew and now they might be porting it to the NX.
>>320973387
Wouldn't be the first time Nintendo makes a retarded decision that costs the millions, if not hundreds of millions or billions in the long run.
>>320973576

Just saying that doesn't really get you anywhere. The NX could be backwards compatible.
We have no damn idea.
>>320973767

>>320936746

>>320934037
You really think that? Nintendo will just stop making Zelda if the next game isn't good?
I guarantee it'll sell 5 million, people will salivate over the open world.
>>320973978
Nah son, you full on salty
>>320973767
Not the anon you quoted.
It doesn't have the second analog stick. Has worse graphics and will most likely have worse performance. Seeing how performance actually does have influence on the gameplay here (you see a gorillion enemies on the map, but nope, it's only 20 when you arrive because can't handle all the rendering), I would say it's watered down. I wish they released the DLC on the WiiU version as well. Makes a million times more sense for them to do it.
Nothing against the 3DS port, but don't kill support for the original version for no freaking reason.
>>320974185
>It doesn't have the second analog stick
I should have stopped reading there. That's why I mentioned the n3DS in my original reply
>>320974126
Of course I am. They released that garbage instead of making all that as new DLC. It's pretty much the only game I've ever wanted DLC for.
>>320974021
SS was on the Wii and it sold mediocre 3.4 million.
Even OoT 3D sold better.

Nintendo is very VERY efficient with their engines. They never actually give them names or anything like that to my knowledge and modify the fuck out of them.
OoT was running on a heavily modified version of the Mario 64 engine, as was Star Fox 64.
TP ran on a heavily modified version of the WW engine.
Other than that, I'm not really sure. All I know is Nintendo doesn't have any big open-world engines for HD, as evidenced by all their linear games.

I heard once that the engines they use for Zelda is antiquated as fuck. Skyward Sword I think was with an engine suited for 2005 hence why it took so long to develop and why so much of the content was re-used.
I have no source but looking at how the game turned out, it's either the engine or sheer incompetence from the devs.

I honestly get Zelda NES vibes from how the open world looks.

>I should have stopped reading there. That's why I mentioned the n3DS in my original reply
You really shouldn't have stopped because the n3DS still doesn't have an analog stick. Not even a slider like it does. It has something that's like the red mouse "button" on ancient laptops.

Have you never played MH4U? That nub is a godsend for camera control, since you don't really need an analog stick just for that
