Hyaa! He's a fine listener

Rush5436d ago

People on N4G need a sense of humour, Beastly's comment gave me a good giggle.

iamtehpwn5436d ago

I do think it's time to add Voice overs to Hyrule. But just not Link.

badz1495436d ago (Edited 5436d ago )

Don't start ruining Link next

Js2Kings5436d ago

To me, it wasn't her voice that ruined her, in fact she did speak before having a VA (speech bubbles). It's the things she said, along with her personality. Link, however, doesn't need VA regardless of how could it could possibly be.

Gen0ne5436d ago (Edited 5436d ago )

@badz149. Well said. Thank you. No voices. Although I'm cool with npc's speaking up, but leave Link alone. Still reeling from Other M.

Edit: and nopunctuation's first sentence sums it up quite nicely.

nopunctuation5436d ago

Lets not have another Other M. Silent protagonists lose all their mystery when they speak. That is what makes Claude from GTA 3 so awesome. If link were to speak they would probably make him sould like an english hobbit and no one wants that.

Spitfire_Riggz5436d ago

Lol just like how we dont want to hear more than a few catchphrases from a certain heavy accent italian plumber

snipes1015436d ago

Well given how much heat nintendo gets for sticking to its comfort zone, I think nintendo would get bawls points for going out on a limb and trying it. Hell if they can move the franchise from 2D to 3D successfully, why not try taking another step? And imagine if they pulled it off? There'd be a parade.

I know what I'm saying is nostalgia shattering stuff, but that is what I think.

fatstarr5436d ago

NO
other m proved it
its a no go

the only characters that should speak = starfox and pit and other nintendo characters that have already spoken.

snipes1015435d ago (Edited 5435d ago )

Well see the problem with your logic is the fact that nintendo didn't do other m, Team Ninja did. And Samus had spoken before that with speech bubbles. It was simply a case of poor scripting in Other M's case. Other M proves nothing.

Just go to Ninja Theory's wiki page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... look it over and tell me what games on there indicated they could handle scripting for any character such as Samus (here's a hint, their portfolio contains loads of ninja gaiden and dead or alive games. oh, and dead or alive xtreme beach volleyball).

bwazy5436d ago

No, because the fact that he can't speak is the only thing actually linking the character (link) to the user. He doesnt look like me, he isnt right handed like me, but at least I can use my imagination to make him have my voice.... Sounds lame I know, but its sorta like reading a book and then seeing the movie... Its not the same.

dragonyght5436d ago

well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess hahahaha sry couldn't resist ^_^

-the answer is no after what to metroid hell would freeze over if nintendo so much change a string of link hair

PSPDude795436d ago (Edited 5436d ago )

No. Just no....

Bigpappy5436d ago

Zelda has always been my fav Nintendo franchise. I say lets hear what it sounds like. creating a perfect voice for this character would be a chalenge, and I would like to hear how its creater thinks that voice sould sound. Let the game evolve people.

Rainstorm815436d ago

I agree, Id lie to hear his voice too beyond the "Yaaaa!" sword slash.

If creatively done it could enhance the series, Yes Samus was screwed over but that what happenes when you let team ninja do such a historic franchise.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi78d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer79d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot79d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno79d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay79d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno77d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK78d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
