Worth getting Nintendo

Yea, people that have played OOT side by side with its Cube version say there are differences.  But they are just subtle enhancements, nothing like the famous Spaceworld footage.

And I haven\'t been keeping up on it, so I don\'t know if Ura Zelda is thrown into the deal here in the States, but I certainly hope so.

Ura will be a part of the deal I\'m sure.  However, if they went through the trouble of cleaning up the graphics, why couldn\'t they at least change the interface?  It\'s pretty horrible playing a game on the cube using the cube controller while the game\'s options and display shows it as the yellow C buttons and whatnot.  Pretty poor if you ask me.

Adan: SFA = way better than SMS? Man, are you part of the minority..

SFA is like the only Nintendo-published GCN game that I have that I haven\'t beaten. (other than Animal Crossing)

It\'s just so boring. It\'s like Zelda, but not at all evolutionary with dull, dull combat. Have you played it?

But it was gorgeous...boy was it gorgeous (SFA)...

That qualifies as upgraded...

Well, I guess you have me on a technicality, but I\'m gonna tie this into my other point..

However, if they went through the trouble of cleaning up the graphics, why couldn\'t they at least change the interface?

Because I don\'t believe they intentially made any changed to the game, the cleaner look comes merely from actually being emulated on the GCN, it\'s probably renderred at a higher resolution.

However, in Ura\'s dungeons, items as well as enemies are placed differently, and puzzles are slightly different.

But they\'re still the same dungeons, just with enemies placed differently, and slightly different puzzles?

Heh, don\'t get me wrong.. I think SFA is a good game. Good, not great. It has its high points..

There are a lot of low points, though. Like the combat, which is laughable.

It\'s not as good as SMS, and doesn\'t approach Metroid Prime in quality IMHO.

Bob, they remixed OOT for Ura.  Different locations for items, enemies, etc, and different dungeon order.

There\'s also supposedly a new dungeon or two, but the last review I read, the person hadn\'t found one yet.

Thanks, Eik.  

No, games like Metroid Prime, REmake & 0, as well as animal crossing.

I wish they would do a updated Shadows of the Empire.

I\'ve gotten back to playing SFA a little bit, and it\'s not quite as bad as I remember from last month.

I\'d say that it\'s worth renting at least. The gameplay has its shortcomings, but it does enough well.

SMS and MP are still better IMO. (and in some cases, much better)

is SFA still worth a buy?

Buy? Maybe.. it\'s got a good ~20~ hours of gameplay. The problem is that the gameplay is bland at times.

I\'d have to say that SFA is a bad way for Rare to go out as a Nintendo 2nd-party.

If I were you, I\'d rent first.. because there isn\'t much replay value here and you might not like the game.

Personally, I loved SFA, but I know a lot of people who didn\'t.  Might be good to play it first.

Alright, abut the Ura thing, I got a couple of questions.

1. When can I reserve Wind Waker, and, in turn, get the Ura Disc?
2. Are there certain stores where you have to reserve it, or does this apply with anywhere that you reserve it?

Once those are answered, I don\'t care if I can get it or not, I\'ll just reserve it

See Yuz.
