Pardon me, but I feel the urge to act like a total moron..

*ahem*

Da da da da dum, ba da da da dum dum dummm

Do the Shiggyo!
Swing your Sword from Side to Side,
Comm'on it's time to go do the Shggyo
Take one Slash, and then again,
Let's do the Shiggyo, all together now!
*insert Zelda theme here*

Zelda kicks ass to an extreme. Long live Shiggy.

I'll probably end up gettin' a PS2 for KH2.

Toad64 · 05-13-2004, 02:18 AM

ThirdMarioBro, yeah, I watched the G4 E3 coverage last night. It had some audio problems, though. When they showed the Microsoft press conference, you couldn't hear anything.

Miyamoto speaks at IGN:
http://cube.ign.com/articles/514/514589p1.html

He and Aonuma talk about Zelda and the DS.

**Barkworm** · 05-13-2004, 06:46 AM

It seems like the hardware of the PSP is at PS2 level while the DS hardware is just on N64 level. That's kinda bugging me... That and the fact, that the design of the PSP is a helluva lot better then the DS prototype design.

I wonder what the PSP is gonna cost.

Price's I've seen specualte somewhere in the $300 - $400 dollar range, although there is no official word yet on what it will be. That's just peoples guesses.

Screens from the Spider-Man game for PSP here:

Zelda for GC is also supposed to be released in 2005. (based on the interview at IGN, it will be after next years E3, probably Summer 2K5) The horse (not confirmed as Epona) will also play a large role in gameplay, and the game is not a sequal to Wind Waker, and will not have the Wind Waker name attached to it.

IGN also has up a preview of WWE: Day of Reckoning. Link here: http://cube.ign.com/articles/512/512122p1.html

Not sure if it's been mention yet, but IGN has a preview up for the GBA Zelda game. Link (ha! Puns are fun) here: http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/512/512539p1.html

This is all so awesome.

I agree. Nintendo dropped some huge new info this E3, and they look like they're getting their act in gear, Sony debuted the PSP which is shaping up to be a good handheld, and X-box games finally got some big updates or were announced officially. It's a good year to be a gamer.

And this...just scares me...

PSP impresses me, but there's no way in hell I'm going to pay so much for it.

I agree. If it is in the range that everyone is guessing, I'll wait for a price drop. The most I'll pay for any handheld is $200. (Which is what I hear DS will be at launch)

Peanut · 05-13-2004, 10:15 AM

Even so, with the system being powerful enough to pump out near PS2 like graphics...It's going to suck down batteries like they're going out of style.

*Taloniss* · 05-13-2004, 10:25 AM

Meh, batteries are cheap. I carry about 10 in my backpack at a time, incase my CD player or gameboy die. Then I never run out, since I always restock.

Cheap, my ass. I recall a week where I actually debated "Batteries for my GBA or eat?" Ah, college days.

MW8979 · 05-13-2004, 11:04 AM

For those who worry about batteries, rechargeables are available on the market. They last a long time and save you tonnes of money.

Peanut · 05-13-2004, 11:04 AM

Yeah, batteries are pretty damn expensive. I hardly have enough money as it is. Thank god for the GBA SP's rechargeable battery.

*Taloniss* · 05-13-2004, 11:39 AM

Jeez, I pay like, $5 for 10 batteries. That's not expensive. 2 for a dollar.

GBA SP is your friend.

I did that too and they lasted for less than 30 minutes.

Really? In my GBA, they last for about 8 - 10 hours. Same with my CD player.
