I encourage you to check out this kick ass marching band routine put on by Cal. Band geeks doing video game tunes... what is geekier than that? It's too cool. I wish my high school marching band did a show like that. The only interesting theme we ever did was Halloween Themes. What is scarier than Thriller? I digress. Here is the video:
According to an article over at Kotaku, Brian Crecente, the Managing Editor, has received confirmation of the Zelda mini-game that will be included with the device when it goes on sale for $20 on November 19.
Here's the description of the Zelda game called Link's Crossbow Training:
"Link's Crossbow Training drops players into a world in the style of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Players assume the identity of hero Link, who progresses through a series of tests to perfect his crossbow marksmanship. Start with stationary bull's-eyes and graduate to moving targets before defending Link against all kinds of enemies."
Forgiving for the moment that a Bow and a Crossbow are two different things, I have to wonder if this marks a turn where the Zelda franchise follows Mario into being exploited for other genres. Zelda Fishing? Hyrule Hide & Seek? Epona's Equestrian Championships? The possibilities could be endless, but so could the over-use of the characters as well.
In any case, the Wii Zapper (which BTW looks very much different than it's E3 counterpart, is only a little more than 2 months away. If your looking for a deep and re-playable Zelda experience, don't forget that Phantom Hourglass is out October 1st.
Someone on YouTube has uploaded the intro to the new Zelda game on DS. The game is released in Japan tomorrow and in the USA sometime later on this year. Honestly, I can't wait to get it because Zelda is one of my favorite game series, and I love the return to Wind Waker style graphics. Hopefully the game won't be disappointing like Twilight Princess. Yes, I went there. Twilight Princess was kind of mundane and stuck to the Zelda formula too much in my book. Okami did a far better job of being a "Zelda" game than Twilight Princess did.
Don't take this to mean that I didn't like Twilight Princess, because I did enjoy it. It's one of my top 10 games of last year. However, Okami just beat it in dang near every aspect.
