Big downloads, but totally worth it for Zelda fans.
For the past year-and-a-half, several people have been working on a massive project to translate the Zelda no Video documentary released in 2003 by Enterbrain in Japan. My first attempt at getting the video translated failed because I did not have enough experience with ripping video from DVDs nor did my original translator fully understand what was being said by the people in the documentary. Thus, it wasn't until late 2005 when I finally found somebody who could translate the video.
Sadly, the person never completed the translation and I was about to give up on the project until Patricia came along. She offerred to do her best and attempted to translate the video. Finally, in December of 2006, the subtitles were completed. After attempting to encode the video myself, it was apparent I did not have the necessary experience and could not provide a quality video.
Earlier this year around March, I was approached by the anime fansub community who had heard I was attempting to get this Japanese Zelda video out with subtitles. This group took the video, checked the subtitles for accuracy, fixed the timing, and then after a month of testing, finally encoded the video for distribution.
The video is available in two formats. You can download a low-quality, DivX encoded .avi file or a high-quality mp4 video.
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!
Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!
I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.
I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
TheGamer Writes "In my experience, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess’ once-warm reception has chilled somewhat over the years. Praised at launch as a beautiful return to form after the “childish” art style of its direct predecessor, the world eagerly embraced a game that more closely followed Ocarina of Time’s famous structure and plot cues. Perhaps most alluringly of all, the grandeur and sheer scope of this reimagined Hyrule Field wowed millions of us."
I love media like this! Being a gamer that's played the Zelda series from its inception and pretty much loved each installment no matter the console (except the 3D0, that was crap), I enjoyed the documentary.
It would be nice to see more game documentaries about the histories, series', or stories of certain games. I think Final Fantasy would be a good one to do also.
