Zelda Needs to go Retro

the Wii's, "gems of the generation."

Nintendo took one of its most cherished IP's, and primarily focused gameplay on motion controls (which by the way, rocks). I can't imagine both Microsoft or Sony, would even attempt to do something of that caliber (one of their main IP's heavily focused on just motion controls, that are at least a decade old). All the next LOZ title needs is: Twilight princess's mass, and SS's density -- which they can also include an option for those who would rather play with traditional controls.

I don't mind if Retro Studios helps with the development process (they helped develop tracks in Mario Kart 7, for the 3DS), though to have them flat-out take control over the series? They already have enough on their plate - as is.

People often forget about Monolith soft, and how competent they're at developing titles (Xenoblade, d*%n!).

why? retro hasn't done anything to be put on the pedestal that all these nintendo fanboys put them on. what have they done that so great? metroid prime series & DKCR, WOW thats such a great pedigree "Sarcasm"

PopRocks3595141d ago

Actually yeah that is a great resume given that all three Prime games, DKCR and Mario Kart 7 (which Retro helped develop) all were massive commercial and critical successes.

Or would you prefer Team Ninja take another crack at a Nintendo franchise? Because I'm sure fans would love to have Link bend down and cry at the sight of Ganondorf.

Gen0ne5141d ago

Actually, in Team Ninja's defense, the crying kid Samus scene (which has been permanently burned into my retinas) wasn't their fault. That was the brilliant idea of the original creator/writer and the cg sequences were outsourced. Team Ninja only handled the in game stuff. And even then... still wasn't great.

Good point. My mistake. In that case keep Sakamoto the hell away from anymore Nintendo software scripts.

dvfaa5141d ago

it doesn't need to but it'd be nice :)

ronin4life5141d ago

Nah... retros vibe wouldn't mesh with zelda in my opinion.
In fact, zelda feels like one of the few Nintendo games that wouldn't make sense to hand over to retro.

How about the original Legend of Zelda remade with the Echoes of Wisdom engine. Maybe throw in added dungeons, or expand the map to make the game longer than the original.

meganick74d ago

A Zelda 1 remake would be great, but not with the Echoes of Wisdom art style. I find it unappealing.

Neonridr74d ago

I'd even suggest a Link to the Past as well. Would love a more modern HD look using the Links Awakening / Echoes engine.

I would like Twilight Princess HD for Switch or Switch 2.

A movie trailer, or nothing if Mario's was anything to go by

Link Should Talk, but Choose His Words Carefully in The Legend of Zelda Movie

Link should have a voice in The Legend of Zelda Movie. While he mostly stays quiet in the games, he canonically does speak but usually holds back on expressing his thoughts. In a movie format, it is better for the character and the story itself that Link speaks.

I just hope it's not a bunch MCU Snarky McJokeface dialog. Started playing veilguard free on PSN (would not recommend) and it's a perfect example of how dialog in contemporary entertainment is garbage.

It's gonna be Chris Pratt again lol
