3 days until gaming history is made........ again, by zelda

I wont be buying it (no GX) but a friend will and after he is done with it ill definately be giving it a good long go.

It's very like the wait for Ocarina of Time. Especially with the remake of the Ocarina in it. Hoorah for the bonus disc!

Tusky

I pre-ordered from game-play.com ! W00t but they say they cant guarentee it will be here by friday...fook

Mr E

Preordered in Smyths. I was #7 on their Zelda order list. With loyalty card, it should be €54.

**Looks at old crappy telly, shakes head**

Ive given up completely on getting excited about games especially games like Zelda and FF etc.
The only ever disappoint and maybe i have expected too much but i cant remember the last time that i had great expectations and they were met by the game.

Ocarina of Time was nothing amazing so i will just wait and see.

Did we already do the childish sniggering at the name Wind Waker yet or did I miss that?

I'd have to say, in all the years of being a gamer, I only got excited about one game. So much so I had trouble sleeping the night before, and that was Ocarina of time. I don't, however, hold the same amount of optimism for WindWaker, but no doubt it will be enjoyable.

How do you know what Hz your tv is?

theciscokid

well if you bought it within the last few years , it's likely to have 50/60 hz option,

check your maunal - if you still have one

also check through a few commands on your remote control..

you may stumble across a few preset switches to access 50/60 secam etc..

the first step is admitting you have a problem...

I know loads of ps2 heads who think all nintendo consoles are for 'kids' etc and never heard of zelda.. they dunno what theyre missing out on :P Im a bit p1ssed off about the 2nd disc I found out my TV is 50hz tonight >=[

Dont be at yourself

It's God's way of punishing you for not having an N64 with Zelda in the first place.

Tusky

dear god dusty get an emulater and play the snes ones @ the very least !

Dustaz

i have a an emulator but i can never find the 'Linux Isos' i need

The only game i can think of (of any game i have ever played) where i huge expectations of what it might be but when i eventually played that game it was even more amazing. Unfortunately the game was too easy and too addictive and become a very short experience. I was actually mad with myself that i hadnt got the stones to import it.

Mario 64.

I honestly cant think of any others.

ondafly

its funny, I never played Ocarina of Time until about approx 3 weeks ago. I went and bought an N64 with it. Its a great game, even if the graphics look a little dated - it was something that had to be done !

Bought a cube last Friday, and this Friday i will own a Zelda game on a launch day.

for Cube games, if you hold down the "B" button on the joypad, while the Gamecube logo is displaying, some games will then give you the option to run at 60mhz - it works for me on smash bros, Rogue II, metroid and luigi's Mansion

TacT

for shame dusty, for shame

damnit, I need a gamecube :eek:

Tusky

you can have mine for say...50 euro if you want tact ?

Was in GAME at lunchtime and was asking about Zelda. The guy behind the counter didn't know how much the game is going to be yet!!!:rolleyes:

Anyway, they also have the same deal that Nintendo did for Metroid Prime, i.e. a GC boxed with the game (ltd. edition of course). While the GAME guy didn't know the price for sure, he assumed it would cost 200 hoofers.

Veerrryyy tempted to go for this. Oh yeah, the GC itself is a limited edition platinum colour

long_b

Preordered it ages ago from GAME - someone from the shop just rang - it'll be 60 yoyos.

GAME are doing 10% off for Membership Cardholders though.

I don't know why you people preorder. I often buy a friday release on a tuesday. You just go to an indie, ask and wave some money at them. I do the same for music CD's.

The only Zelda I enjoyed was Zelda II. The games just send me to sleep - I've started several and gave up half way through. They're just so easy, the dialogue is so mindless and the characterisation non-existant.

slap... :ninja:

the zelda 2 side scrolling adventure was probably the weakest of the whole series on the nintendo format...

overall the philips cd-i takes the biscuit

So ... anyone tried to run the bonus disk on a 50 Hz TV yet ?

Doodah7

Just picked up the ltd. edition platinum box set. Unfortunately i'm going to gave to wait until this evening to boot it up:mad:

However on the back of the box under the section dealing with the bonus disc, it has 60hz only. Although the way this is positioned, I'm not sure if it is both extra games or just Ocarina of Time - Master Quest as the 60hz only is under this icon.

Have to wait and see. In any event, my beat up old portable can play at 60Hz as well as the main TV.

mooman_00

where did you find the platinum edition and what makes it so platinum???

Mr E

Got it this morning in Smyths (plus bonus disc).

FYI - they stopped their 3 for 2 deal on Wednesday (30th). They now have selected titles at 2 for €50.

- Dave.

mooman_00

The GC is platinum in colour along with a platinum coloured controller. I got mine in GAME for €199...

Mr E

Tall paul: I imagine it applies to both of the bonus games. They both use the same engine - same map, enemies, game dynamics, but have different puzzles in the dungeons.

- Dave.

mooman_00

That looks so cool but it's not worth another €200 just for dvd imo..

mooman_00

ya basstard ive just rang home and there is no sign of mine :mad: :mad: :mad:

Absolam

Just got it in Game..as above, €56 with the membership card, and a free mini guide, and the cheat disk, a platinum control pad, and a memory card for a tenner apiece! They've got an offer with some old games too.

Mr E

Shoulda been €54 with a loyalty card. 10% of €60 is €6 ....

- Dave.

Absolam

B****r! I'm home now! It'll cost me more than that to go back and complain!

Mooman, I have a spare gamecube box but I am in Waterford :-(

Is the bonus disk in shops in ireland?


kdjac

Tusky

w00t its REALY good thank god for that, it will charm the pants off you and there is some genuinely funny bits too ! watch out for the music in the intro bit - really nice !

The first dungeon is great but tis a pain in the arse , SO much harder than Deku tree :mad:

yea i got it in game - didnt even pre-orderr....

ondafly

friend just bought me a copy - was 47.99 and includes bonus discs etc from Smyths. It was a blunder by the shop assistant, he taught 2 games = 10% discount X 2 = 20%

Nice
