Prediction: Nintendo Direct Will Set Release Dates for Q2, Show Wind Waker Wii U and Zelda 3DS

GenGAME writes: "After last month’s Wii U Direct, I think we’re all done with big Wii U announcements for awhile. And frankly, I’m fine with that – Nintendo needs to save something big for E3. And that’s fine – E3 should be Wii U’s moment to shine, to prove itself as a serious competitor for the next generation.

"That’s why I think that, if anything, the Nintendo Direct set for tomorrow, February 14 is going to feature mostly confirmations related to titles we’ve already seen... because it’s time to figure out when all those “launch window” games are actually coming out.

"But I think Nintendo would be remiss not to feature some kind of major announcement or serious news at the presentation..."

I hope it is a reveal of further 3rd Party Support and maybe Collaborations.

>I would also love to see Iwata address in some way, the report that dissed the GPU and CPU.
(today their has been a little push back with the Snipper and Need For Speed Story).

BUT:

My dream of course would always be for an Eternal Darkness 2 announcement. Keep dreaming? I will... then again maybe I am always dreaming... hehehehhehhehehhe!

You have great taste in gaming. Now I want to play the original on my Wii. That was one of my fav games. I loved purposelessly draining my sanity to see all the different effects.

Tewi-Inaba4082d ago (Edited 4082d ago )

You can dream all you want
but the sad sad truth is
Silicon Knights died long ago; Too Human killed them

Their company still exist as a shell but only has 12 employees

The only way is for Big N to buy the rights to ED series, they already own the Sanity mechanic and round up the few devs they can.

even then that would be a long shot, I mean they'd have to make a studio just for the game because if you think about it, what inside studio currently in nintendo can do something like ED2.

Such a shame really...ED was one of if not the greatest gamecube games ever.
I was so looking forward to know what happens with mantorok

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4082d ago

Ouch Tatsumaki
Way to wake me up with a Shot-Gun...LOL.

@Zeon "Well Said"

&

@ Tatsumaki "Helpful" (for the info.)
PS I know we both hope you are wrong.

Tewi-Inaba4082d ago

sadly it seems everything Microsoft touches that has to do with nintendo dies a slow brutal death......

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4082d ago

True,
I wonder why that is?

Anyway,
At this point I would work as a Intern to help fund the game development, because it's a horrible waste of an original franchise.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4081d ago

Hey just a thought, not a challenge-

Do you think that the 12 people could pull-off an HD upgrade of ED1 ?

Tewi-Inaba4081d ago

Well, the thing is the last time I checked them wa like 2011.
Just checked again and now they're "fewer than 5"

Like I said unless Big N themselves do something nothing is ever coming out of that studio.

Too bad, they do real good ports too, MGS:Twin Snakes was made by them and it was real good

This would be ideal for me. The other two titles I'm looking forward to is the secret project by Retro Studios and a new IP from Shigeru Miyamoto.

Venoxn4g4082d ago

I would like to see secret 3DS project from Treasure, then Retro, then a gameplay from than Pirate game for 3DS and Rodea: sky soldier release date

BATRA4082d ago

I WOULD LIKE TOO SEE BATTALION WARS 3 FOR THE WII U HEADSTRONG GAMES WORKS ON BATTALION WARS GAMES JUST SAY WHAT THEY ARE WORKING ON SO PLEASE BATTALION WARS 3 FOR THE WII U

ZeekQuattro4082d ago

I hope it focuses on 3rd party support especially after some of the rumors I read today about games such as Watch Dogs being on the Wii U.

ScubaSteve14082d ago

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno71d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic102d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast102d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul102d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

Zelda Fan Brings Godzilla to Life in Tears of the Kingdom

A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.

Knightofelemia140d ago

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
