Help ... need media of the New Zelda Game for the NGCand other killer apps !

Ok the way i see it i think buying my PS2 was one of the best things i have done in a long while, also reading an indepth article on the Nintendo GameCube was also a good idea too.

thats right ooseven has now decided to get a Gamecube ASAP well as soon as i have enought money to get one.

but here is my problem !

i want to get the same amount of media coverage for the NGC that the PS2 enjoys.

for example

look at some of the killer APPS for the PS2

Devil May Cry
Final Fantasy 10

etc

and you get nearly 50 screen shots and over a dozen mepeg movies

now why cant i get that for ZElda ?

ok here is the thing (to cut to the chace)

i need links (pardon the pun)
for some of the Nintendo Gamecube games !
i have tryed IGN but they have very little on some of these game

Anyhooo over to you lot.



oh and P.S

dose anyone have a LAUNCH date for the Gamecube in the UK ?

Sorry man, you\'ll have to wait until Spaceworld for new screens of Zelda (along with everything else NGC). I think Gamecube launches around early spring 2002 for UK.

Spaceworld is this week, so most GCN news will be coming out this week. Some third parties are waiting until TGS to release info though. So you might have to wait until this time next week.

[Evi]

Patience, young grasshopper, you\'ll receive your reward shortly... Just hold off for a short while longer, man...

Thanks people ill just have to play my PS2 and my N64 in the Mean time.

God Damn it Nintendo you know i can\'t resist Zelda games, i can for see a time when i am hard pushed to decide to play either the New Zelda game or Meal Gear Solid 2.


thats why i have went for the PS2 and GamesCube

the best of both worlds.

Here is the latest mouth-watering news on the developments of the next game in the spectacular Zelda series in case you haven\'t heard about it already.

Reminder: This interview has yet to be confirmed with any Japanese magazine, and was obtained without using The Word\'s network of sources. On the other hand, this interview is very convincing and detailed. It\'s also definitely worth reading.

Magazine: (We) realize that you worked closely around the Zelda GameCube project.

Ken Otawa: Yes, that is true.

Magazine: Are there any details about new features that will be available in the new title?

KO: He (Miyamoto) has done some amazing things with the new Zelda title. Some of the big new innovations in the game play system revolve around the new controller. The biggest of these
innovations by far is now players will control Link\'s sword and sword actions entirely with the C stick.

Magazine: Care to elaborate?

KO: Well, essentially players control Link\'s arm with the control stick, where they move it, his arm moves in a similar motion. Part of the game play will be learning tactics and combos that are utilized by way of the C-stick alone. This works into a heavy emphasis on sword fighting found in the new Zelda.

Magazine: Sounds like a tough learning curve.

KO: Well, his intentions for Luigi (Luigi’s Mansion) was to get players used to using both sticks at the same time. Like a training game.

Magazine: Are those the only new game play features that utilize the new controller?

KO: No, he has many special things in store, especially with the L and R. In the new Zelda there will be two different types of weapons, one will be simple weapons, that will be used by pressing the X and Y buttons, and others will be assigned to the L and R buttons, and will utilize the analog functions. These weapons include the Bow, the Sling Shot, and some other re-workings of old items, and some completely new ones that will become favorites. When you equip these items, the view goes into first person, much in the way it did in the N64 titles, which is the new Zelda\'s closest feature to those titles, and you use the analog triggers in a very interesting way, and you use the c-stick to control aiming. But I can’t get too in-depth with that.

Magazine: You say this one is very different then the N64 titles, what about the targeting system?

KO: The targeting system has been totally re-worked. And it works amazing. It is a lot easier to go from enemy to enemy and it flows a lot better, there is no more clunky shifting between different enemies.

Magazine: Story?

KO: I hate to say this, but there was no story at the moment. Ideas were being thrown around, but I would care to not comment on them.

Magazine: Final comments on the new Zelda...

KO: Yes, expect a truly cinematic experience, and game play that will change the way we play games forever. This new Zelda will definitely break a lot of new ground.

What does The Word think of this? Remember the Space World 2000 demo featuring Link and Ganondorf in a sword fight? Everyone said it would never be done in the game because there were just too many sword and shield maneuvers. Maybe we overlooked the possibility that this game\'s focus may just be on real sword fighting. No more "tapping A to defeat enemies"; oh, no, my friend -- this has the potential of being all out Zorro-style action. Instead of learning songs, players learn special sword techniques that can be used for attacking enemies.

Is it all true? We\'ll find out at Space World. A place where the stars sparkle on the world and Mario says, “Hello!”

Other killer aps for GameCube- Perfect Dark 2, Too Human(check out the preview at IGNCube for this game, it sounds awesome), Rogue Leader, Mario, ect ect.

Thanks for the info Jumpman:D .Have you heard anything about Mario for GC?Or is it all going to be shown on Wednesday(Spaceworld)

Yeah, it\'s going to be shown when ever the **** SpaceWorld starts.

Rumours are Perfect Dark 2, Too Human, and Zelda will all be shown too, so that\'ll be pretty sweet.

Yes,I\'ve been looking forward to Zelda,Mario for the longest time I can\'t wait anymore:evil:

Does anyone know if there is a chance that Resident Evil 0 is going to be shown?

The Pre-Show press conference is on Thursday. Friday, the show is open to the press only. Saturday and SUnday, the show is open to the public. So expect some big announcements Thursday or Friday.
