Squee Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Quote Today's Nintendo keynote at the Game Developers Conference ended up bearing Zelda fruit after all, with the announcement of the tentatively titled The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for the Nintendo DS. The new game, which looks to play a bit like The Phantom Hourglass, features dungeon maps on the top screen, gameplay on the bottom screen, and a bit of a fascination with trains. In the trailer shown at the keynote, which we will have available for you shortly, Link is seen acting as the engineer for a train with a cannon mounted on the locomotive. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks will be available this year for the Nintendo DS. Exciting, isn't it? Hoepfully we'll get to use the DS microphone to make choo choo noises.

Guest my usernames always really suck Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Can we just get a regular Zelda game without fucking gimmicks for once?

Joyrex Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 That's what I thought when I first saw the train; gimmick. I do like the controllable Golem though that will help you in fights.

Squee Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I wouldn't really say that it looks gimmicky at all. I mean, the transportation has been been part of the last...4 or 5 Zelda games... or am I way off?

Guest bitroast Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 some of the gimmicks are good. ocarina's biggest gimmick was the child/adult gameplay but that was all nicely part of the story and felt fine/natural. for me it was essentially gimmick-less and that's what made it such a classic. the wolf side of twilight princess was totally unnecessary but in the end worked alright. i second the notion for a gimickless zelda.

Brandi_B Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) fxing give me a new wii version following up to twilight princess with wii quality graphics and no wolf stuff. oh and magic would be nice too since for some reason they decided to not add any. console no ds damnit twilight princess could never beat ocarina of time, but what could? Who cares, they are capable and I want something that is as fun to play. ive never enjoyed just okaying any game, regardless of it being zelda or not, as twilight princess. Plus make link be able to jump better, And the downward thrust stab w/ the sword from zelda 2 A++++ Also this: pigster said: some of the gimmicks are good. ocarina's biggest gimmick was the child/adult gameplay but that was all nicely part of the story and felt fine/natural. for me it was essentially gimmick-less and that's what made it such a classic. the wolf side of twilight princess was totally unnecessary but in the end worked alright. i second the notion for a gimickless zelda.
