Zelda bonus disk

[whoisKeel]

Well, it's official. You can also get it by subscribing to NP or registering certain games. I'm getting a gamecube when this comes out.

Excellent news thanks for the link.

[MarioAllStar2600]

NICE! means those things will be all over ebay at reasonable prices.

[Querjek]

Someone needs to remind me on the 17th...

[gamegirl79]

Cool!! I've been putting off getting a GCN until this comes out....I'm glad it's almost here!

[sisko]

Thank you Nintendo!

I don't feel as screwed over anymore

[Achika]

wtf? I don't want any of those new games coming out.

*grumble* guess I'll be going for the NP renewal...it's cheaper anyway.

[WiseSalesman]

Isn't $17 a little much for games I already own?

[WiseSalesman]

In addition to that, where the FUCK is Link to the Past?! I can understand not including the Gameboy Zeldas, but LTTP?! Good God.

[Rev. Link]

Of course, they couldn't include ALttP since it's currently for sale on GBA. And doing well. Making it a part of this package would hurt its sales on GBA.

I wish they had included Link's Awakening and the Oracle series, though.

[GaijinPunch]

That will suck if there's no JPN version of that disc.

I understand their motivation, but that doesn't make it any less "fuxx0red". If I were to buy this disc, I'd want it to be the qunitessential collection of console zelda titles. Not all of them minus one. Fuck that.

I'm not so much bothered by the exclusion of the GB titles as I can't stand the Oracle games and, though I loved LA, I don't consider it a true Zelda title (Capcom developed).

[Rev. Link]

No, Capcom developed the Oracle series, not LA.

[YoshiM]

Ugh. I'm not a fan of Nintendo Power but seeing on the flip side if the magazine gets better I get 12 issues PLUS a compilation of games. Hmmmm...

Not only is 4 swords currently out for GBA, they are also releasing it for Gamecube.

It doesn't make much sense to give away a free game and then compete with yourself for sales

Who knows? Maybe they will put the original LTTP game on the Gamecube disc as an unlockable bonus of some sorts.

i'm going to have to find a way to get my hands on a couple of these. the first zelda bonus comp. was easily attainable, and while it may someday bring figures on ebay, this has much more of a chance, and being a zelda collector where i can.......i must have numerous copies of this. maybe EB will sell them like they were selling the last gamecube preview disc

Well its seems that if you buy the gamecube it'll come in the box and the only other way to get it is through Nintendo. So I don't think retail stores are going to have any copies to sell.

@sisko and co. :

No, I understand the reasoning, you can stop telling me about it. It's not going to make me sympathetic towards Nintendo, due to the fact that it seems like all they try to do recently (features unlockable only through connectivity, E-Reader needed to unlock cool stuff, etc.) seems geared to swindle people out of their money.

The fact of the matter is, I want compilations of games. I do. It saves me having to pull out my old copy, and they're all right there, plus you usually get some neat extras. If they had put LttP on there, I'd have been willing to pay $25 - $30 for it, for REPACKAGED OLD GAMES. But this is like selling a Star Wars Box Set and leaving out The Empire Strikes Back or something. It seems inane.

I won't be getting this, for the same reason I still haven't bought the Matrix on DVD. Eventually, they're going to release "The Matrix Box Set". And, eventually, Nintendo will release "Zelda Collection" or some shit, and have everything included, rendering this worthless.

I was hoping for Link's Awakening too!! Love that game. They should have ditched the Wind Waker demo and put Link's Awakening on there.

[whoisKeel]

know what woulda been really cool, had they included the remake of the first zelda on this disk (the satellite view bsx thingy with snes graphics)

maybe it is unlockable or something. personally, i'm pretty excited about this disk, it's one of the things making me choose gamecube over ps2 right now...but of course i never owned a '64 model, thus missing out on 2 of the titles.

btw, having never played either 64 game, which should i start out with?
