I must say, the new Zelda is draw droppingly gorgeous. It's about time. These are some of (if not THE) best graphics I've seen anywhere. And the Gameboy DS has N64-ish 3D graphics? Holy fucking shit thats great! I just have one gripe though: with 3D games, where's the analog stick? I don't wanna feel like I playing a PSX .

DS offical page

There is more intresting stuff on Nintendo's page now, go around and take a look.

But I wouldn't be surprised if the fan sites would have more intresting info. And we have Kirby popstar...

Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap. OoT-Style Gamecube Zelda? A Gameboy with a wireless link, touchscreen and more RAM and better 3D than my computer? Head for the hills, a tidal wave of drool is coming your way!
As I understand, the DS is backward-compatible with GBA, but they're still gonna sell GBA too? As long as I can run the games on this, WTF is a GBA? I want Mario 64 DS. Hell, I want some custom games. N64 emulator anyone? Oh, and did anyone notice that the game in that picture is clearly Mario Kart Double Dash? (Yeah, I know, it's just a tech demo, but w00t anyway. Portable 3D Mario Kart/Zelda > *.)

Nintendo, do NOT screw this up, or I'm paying a visit. With several hundred moltovs.

Mmmm...Nintendo DS..... *drool*
Nintendo DESERVES to have a monopoly on the handheld market.
Nobody does handhelds like Nintendo.

Wow, so far I've heard GREAT things from Nintendo, some O.K. things from Sony,
and....well....Microsoft seems to be doing a pretty poor job of jacking up gamers like everyone else there.

The new Zelda for GBA looks Sweet! It's like a super upgraded Link To The Past, with really great 2d graphics!

I'd actually rank the press conferences as follows:

1) Nintendo
2) Microsoft
3) Sony

I dunno... Like I said to my friends, Sony could have still shown more on the PSP if they're serious on taking over the console market. MS had its flagship titles and the EA announcement to carry them.

As I said earlier, I hope the Nintendo DS isn't that expensive. I want two... er my sister also want one.

The price is a big thing when it comes to handheld. Alot of kids buys GBA's, if they are over 200 dollars... not many will buy one.

Hopefully it will be around 100-150 US dollars max.

I'm not surprised why Nintendo did make something new now, they are trying to compete with PSP and they are probably also trying to release it before PSP this time...

It will come earlier than PSP, anyway, I will buy it on the 1st releasedate of the world. (Import it.. haha!)

But the best: Animal Crossing 2 will come! for the Nintendo DS! And the chatfeature (Supposedly to by built in in the final version of the DS) is really funny.

The best E3 since 2000 and 2001!

PSP? Normal? Has anyone seen the thing? It looks like something very futuristic, like from Minority report, oh and whilst Mario 64X4 looks pretty impressive, ..

Fest your eyes on THIS Baby MGS Acid

I'm oretty torbnn between the two, I think I might get the DS to indulge my gamesplaying desires, whilst the PSP will take pride of place next to say, an Ipod and my 3G mobile phone.

I I have to say I'm dead impressed with the new Zelda,

Oh and ANIMAL CROSSING IS COMING TO EUROPE!! YYEEEESSS!

All is quiet from Squeenix though apart from the FFVII Prequel, but I won't get excited about that as it looks like a Japanese exclusive. I was hoping for more news on FFVII:AC

The only game I can think of that you guys got in a fair amount of time is GTA: Vice City. It was released here on the 12th of May, 2k3, and then released in Europe on the 15th... all the other GTA games took months upon months though... why IS Europe the last place everything goes, anyway?

Becuse so many games are made in US maybe?

Maxis is another company who is good on quick release, I remember that there were only days of diffrence between the US and the European release of Simcity 4.

Yes I am a Simcity fan. Simcity 4 was one of the few games I actually did go and buy on the release date.

And I should get a newer GTA, I have been playing GTA and GTA 2. And I loved them... I should get a newer version.

So many are made in Japan, too. That's the first place a lot of them are, because that's where many of them are made. But Europe is just as close to Japan as USA is. So why can't they just distribute them to both places at once instead of waiting a year to get Europe in on the loop of what's probably dead elsewhere?

Becuse they want to try the market in US first maybe? Usually if it sells bad in US, they usually won't bother with Europe...

There isn't so much good reasons anymore thought. I wish there was a good explanation...

Because of the whole PAL issue I'd take it.

Plus a lot of games end up going through translations before seeing a European release - French, Spanish, Italian, etc. Depends on the game.

And some are "censored" - Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) received a few changes.

Sometimes games get's censored in US, but not in Europe. Nintendo did that once with a NES game.

The PAL issue isn't fully true, basically you can convert a NTSC game to a PAL 60 hertz mode easily. The Zelda bonus disc was 60 HZ only... (NTSC is always 60 HZ BTW)

The translation part dosen't apply to me, all console games here are in English. They usually come with a language option but I never use that one...

But SSBM get's wierd when you choose German.
