Chris Buffa (Modojo): Nintendo definitely erred in releasing 3DS for $249.99, but the publisher made amends with first adopters by signing them up for the Ambassadors Program.
The prize? Twenty free games, split up between the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Game Boy Advance (GBA).
Dave writes, "The smaller, tighter, and more child-like experience was a joy to play for the first time. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap has quickly shot up my list of favourite games in the Zelda franchise."
Glad you enjoyed! Loved this game, and always felt it wasn't appreciated/talked about enough. Capcom did an admirable job handling the Zelda franchise w due respect. Loved the shrinking mechanic. :)
Minish Cap and Oracle of Ages do something that the 3D games haven't quite achieved in my opinion. With the exception being Majora's Mask, as I would say it more captures the spirit of 2D Zeldas.
How random mechanisms foster motivation and exploration, and how they don't
Capcom's bite-sized Zelda highlights the beauty of sticks, leaves, acorns, and raindrops.
