staySICK Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) I read 2 (non gaming centric sourced) articles that seemed to read A link between worlds is coming to 3DS and Wii U. ...this is incorrect, right?

TheMightyEthan Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 As far as I understood it's 3DS only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 So I'm watching a stream of Wind Waker HD... I never played it but these guys: are giving me PTSD flashbacks of childhood nightmares. Nope. And maybe I should get a bit hyped for A Link Between Worlds... it would be the first Zelda game I've played since Twilight Princess, which I never beat because I don't seem to get how to cross that jump to the final dungeon... stupid, I know.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 That Link design looks worse than Link in the cartoon. I get what they were going for, but damn. He looks like Joe Dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMW Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I didn't mind the grabby hands so much - wallmasters in Ocarina of Time were the same concept but WAY scarier since you couldn't see them but their shadow and they had that long swooshing sound effect. The Windwaker Zombies though... those were brutal. Took the Ocarina of Time idea of freezing you in place while they slowly walk forward and enhanced it with a better scream, a zoomed in camera angle making you see them get closer and closer and CLOSER, and a very VERY scary face.

Yeah, this. And I agree the Link Between Worlds Link looks stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 The art direction for A Link Between Worlds really sucks. It's the Zelda equivalent of New Super Mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 NSMBU looks great. I didn't play enough of the others to comment on them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm still not sure where I stand on "Lorule." I understand where the art direction is suppose to be going for, just not a big fan. I'm sure there are some fans out there though that love it. Otherwise I'm still excited for it.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Link Between Worlds is getting a limited edition XL. Lush. If they had designed the XL to have replaceable covers, Nintendo could have made a fortune. Hell, even if they sorted out their account system I know people would buy the whole console again to get some of these limited editions. In other news, the cover of the boxed version is reversible - one side is gold-tone, the other full colour. I'm sure I remember people complaining about one or the other so hopefully this will make people happy, though it does mean there won't be cool little pictures in the case cut outs.

Thursday Next Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 As far as I understood it's 3DS only. 3DS and 2DS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I didn't even realize the 2DS was out yet, because it's not on Amazon. I wonder how much this weirdness with Amazon has hurt Nintendo's sales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Link Between Worlds is getting a limited edition XL. Lush. NOPE. NO. This is where I draw the line. Edited October 15, 2013 by staySICK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 weirdness with Amazon Eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 For some reason Amazon didn't stock 3DS's for a long time (IIRC it was like a year and a half before they got them), they didn't stock Wii U's at launch, and they don't have 2DS's now. There's clearly some kind of issue between the companies, but no one really knows what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I still have an original 3DS (Crimson Red) and been thinking if I would ever move up to an XL. Is there any downsides to changing handheld systems, like will I get a new Friend Code? As far as SD card stuff, I just upgraded to an 8GB (Wii's SD card circe 2007) from the stock 2GB card and it was simple. However, I imagine swapping handhelds requires the system transfer on the 3DS, but I'm not aware of any shortcomings, and etc. Like I said before, I'm a sucker for specific property limited editions. I would have loved the Luigi 3DS XL, but sadly that stayed in Japan. Of course, we are getting Mario and Luigi Wii Remotes this November 1st.

TCP Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yeah when I upgraded from 3DS to 3DS XL you had to use the system transfer which copies over everything from games, saves, Miis, and your friend code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 NSMBU looks great. I didn't play enough of the others to comment on them though. I just found the art style to be rather generic and soulless. A Link Between Worlds looks like the same art style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 the luigi XL was announced for EU the same time as the Zelda one, so there's always hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 box art I like both versions - it's unusual not to have a person as the focus on a cover. and with link peering in from the corner on to the glade it has a sense of serenity and discovery. I hope this means there is more of an emphasis on exploration and puzzles rather than fighting, but I may just be reading too much into it.

TheMightyEthan Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 imo the color version is better, but I do like both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'll probably switch to the color cover, but the gold version isn't that bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
