What the heck is up with that guy in the Donkey Konga video? Doesn't even look like he's making an effort to play the drums!

omg the zelda is amazing!!! I hated the current sea theme for the windwaker...

z0mb13 got home! 🙂

Yea, it was stale 1 hour inot it wasnt it. This new version (thank god) looks awesome!
 
The Nintendo E3 video link is broken.

GTA: SA Looks good.
But OMG, how good does the game/gameplay look in Zelda! Im defeinatelly buying that.
And Metroid Prime 2s looking good as well. Not that much better graphically to Metroid Prime1, but that isnt a bad thing. The only bad thing about the MP2 video, is that we`ve been shown the probable final boss, Dark Samus in it! 🙁 Asuming that it is the final boss...

Is that Zelda the next one from Windwaker? Or is there gonna be that one and Windwaker 2?

You know, I don't know the ful answer to that. There seems to be alot of Zelda confusion at E3 because there is one for the GBA and this new realistic one (as opposed to the true WW sequel). I remember Nintendo talking about there being another cell-shaded Zelda in development....but maybe it was canceled? I think alot of peopled wanted a more realistic looking one than Windwaker, so the complaints were probably heard.

If I had to guess, there will be no cell-shaded Zelda, but is still considered a part of the Zelda story. I doubt they would ignore it.

Also, I've updated with Splinter Cell 3 and FFVI: Advent Children info.
 
OOT & MM were a continuation of the story, linearly, and i think that the new one will be. WW is a "future" zelda game, where Hyrule is gone. Prehaps they`ll continue in that fashion. Alternating them. Realistic(hyrule), then Cel(waterworld!), then realistic(hyrule), then cel(waterworld), and so on. Adds a whole new twist on things... And allows the Zelda story to be told in a whole new way.

I dont see why people didnt like the cel shaded Zelda. I thought it was perfect, as good as OOT imo. It was just different. And the fact that you could spend 30mins+ crossing an ocean, with no loading points made it very involving. It was one of those games where you could take a break from everything, sail into the open sea, and stop, in the middle of nowhere, and just stare at the surroundings for ages. Amazing. Not even OOT or MM offered that. And that aspect of the game i liked alot. A chance to get away from it all. Virtually.

With that being said...I can't wait for the new one. Its bound to be amazing! 🙂
