TGR News Roundup: New Zelda, Final Fantasy Announced at GDC

Satoru Iwata dropped the bombshell on GDC attendees that new Zelda and Final Fantasy games are in the works. Also, Michael Pachter says that OnLive is the end of consoles as we know it.

Nintendo had a fairly interesting GDC keynote...

[Bnet343]

Same old sh*t with Nintendo. I'm getting tired of these Zelda games.

[sidar]

I love them zelda games, so where does it leave this?

[Viewtiful]

Yeah it was filled with bombshells for sure, but I mean at this point you've got like a 50/50 shot with any Nintendo press invitational that they'll announce a new Zelda/Mario/Metroid/Pokemon.

It's good news, but it shouldn't be surprising anymore.

[Ocelot3997]

Zelda games have taken a huge slide in the past 5 years. There hasn't been a good one since Wind Waker so I'm not excited in the least.

[cain141]

I wasn't a huge fan of wind waker to be honest... I want to see a next gen zelda. But I'll have to wait for nintendo on that... maybe when duke nuke em forever comes out...

[mr durand pierre]

Excited for the new Zelda, but not too keen on the whole train thing. Sticking on a track seems even more restrictive than sailing.

[cain141]

I would have rather seen a Wii zelda...

[tehk1w1]

I would have rather seen a REAL zelda thing.

Honestly, this toon link rubbish has to go.

[redfield85]

I just hope they have taken out that atrocious dungeon backtracking crap from PH.

[Ocelot3997]

lol Link has always been cartoony, just now they use a beautiful colorful art style that some Unreal Engine weaned gamers can't handle. "Needs moar Brown! Moar Guts! Moar Gray!"

[DK_Switch]

Yes, because when I think "gritty realism," I think The Legend of Zelda.

[NeverforgetNES]

Freakin Awesome. Can't wait for Zelda!

[Vicophine]

ANOTHER Final Fantasy? Release at least one of the main entries to the series first...

[interrergator]

yea but the new zelda game is comin out on ds

[NeverforgetNES]

Aw, whats wrong with DS? I enjoyed Phantom Hourglass. I thought it was fun.

[DK_Switch]

Nintendo also announced today that the DS is close to reaching "Gender Harmony", with 47% of DS units sold last year purchased by girls, 50% bought by guys, and 3% that just aren't sure.

[krunchyk]

Ya Wii Zelda would of been smarter. But apparently it won't matter next generation. I dont know about this whole one system deal. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo def. wont like that.

[Mabuti]

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo, my kids will love the new Zelda.

[shoinan]

Not an amazing keynote
But new Zelda, trains or not, is something to be thankful for.

[cain141]

It was fairly simple. But it kept me intertained at least...
