What would make this upcoming E3 top that MGS2 announcement, for me?
Imagine, if you will, familiar Zelda music rising on a black screen. Soon, the darkness is broken by the edge of a rising sun, and the music is joined by the sound of beating hooves.
And then, from the side of the screen, comes Link, on Epona, gussied up graphics-wise to better take advantage of the power of the Wii. The camera follows him on his desperate charge across the fields of Hyrule--
--until he's knocked off his horse by a cannonball--
--Link leaps off Epona, who whinnies in fright as she tumbles to the ground--
--the hero hits the ground rolling, quickly getting to his feet, sword in hand--
--and the camera circle-pans into his head, and suddenly, it's first-person Wii Motion Plus Zelda BAM IN YOUR FUCKING FACE.
As a dedicated Wii/PC/SNES/PSOne gamer, every time I look at the Wii section, I -do- find it difficult to suss out the titles I want, and I find myself baffled by the nonsense that so often shows up amongst the ranks of House of the Dead and Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess. I think the best thing Nintendo could do to seperate the tripe from the triumphant is to get Player's Choice back into the mix of things. When I bought GameCube games, I always got 'em out of the Player's Choice section, and only ever rarely found myself displeased. If retailers found themselves forced to set aside a special area for these games, it would do wonders for making my browsing easier.
[Yay, let's post about random shit that happened to us last week but not about the good Wii stuff the internet's been buzzing with the last few days.
What the fucking fuck?]
Seconded. I've always enjoyed Giant Bomb--except for the staunch anti-Wii bias that gets floated around here like a particularly offensive turd in a long-unflushed toilet.
