Right. Thanks, Reg, I'm sure we will see some riveting stuff. I'm thinking less of a story or gameplay driven game and more of a... well...Wii Paint: up to four players paint interiors of houses-use white or beige to feel your creativity, and don't forget the second coat!

I think that everyone is acting like all that's left in '08 to look forward to is de Blob and Baroque. Everything else is a port or re-hash of something we've seen before. I'm not saying that the other games will be bad or anything, but for people that get excited about novel, nice looking, fun games, especially from third parties, this one really can't be overlooked.

I have never played my DS in public in the year and a half that I have owned it. Not once, and it has been well worth it.

It wasn't what a Zelda game should be. The graphics and the art style was great, but there was no sense of exploration, and the ending left me a little disappointed. I also didn't like the full stylus controls, they were done better than any other game but they didn't need to be used in all of the areas that they were. I mean, drawing a loop near the edge of the screen to roll? Just let me press the R button.

I wasn't really expecting much outta the ending. This was easily my least favorite Zelda game. It lacked the feeling of exploration and discovery that I've found in all of the rest, and although I am aware that I'm probably the only one to think so, the stylus controls felt a little broken. That said, I don't think it was one of those, "And then he woke up," things because obviously other people were involved in Link's experience. Someone mentioned Narnia and that kinda makes sense. Link's Awakening is also a possible explanation too though. Similar to how many of the Zelda games are so much alike as far as items collected and the story it tells, it makes sense that Link's Awakanening would be reimagined in a similar fashion for the water-world Link. I believe people behind the games have pointed to the term "Legend" and mentioned how perhaps it has been the same story told over and over again, but with slightly different details (barring, of course, direct sequels).

I'm giving myself preorders for No More Heroes, Baroque and Dragon Quest Swords.

I'm not really sure, I've been hearing vague rumors about it since '05, maybe nil? Dunno.

It's hard to judge the foreign market, a few people clamoring for a game isn't enough to spend all that money sending it over seas, no matter how much we want them to. If they can make a profit, I'm sure they'll do it, but how do we prove that they will? They wouldn't do it just as fan service.
