There's a lot of the same MySims there, oh well. Phantom Hourglass is looking lovely, the graphics are going to look brilliant in motion.

& Rune Factory 2? Seriously, there are more Harvest Moon games for DS than there are Mario Party games! o.0;

Zelda Phantom Hourglass is looking fucking epic, bring back memories of classic Wind Waker.

Donkey Kong Bongo Blast also looks the shit.


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

I really can't wait much longer for Phantom Hourglass. It looks like it is going to be darn awesome...

By the way, can anyone here translate what the page says for Phantom Hourglass? *looks at Zero Simon* Smilie

Zelda really does look awesome on the DS, even though its cel-shaded it still looks brilliant.

okaySmilie

A new game utilising the DSs features joins the "Legend of zelda" series. now we will introduce to you the touch screen control that is the biggest change over other zelda games. In this game you can draw the route for your boat and boomerang. Also a wifi mode has been prepared. Battle mode is split up into "attacking" and "defending" and players battle over (tri?)force pieces scattered across the map.

When attacking your aim is to carry a force piece back to your area.
When defending you control 3 "followers" by drawing their patrol routes, to try and corner link.
Battle out to win the most points!

Then it says if you don't understand what a kanji says, just tap on the word to read its hiragana.

There - i didn't know about the battle so that was new to me.

Thank you very much much, Simon! I'll get you a star next week, I'm out now (curse star levels, I also owe Gastrian!). In the mean time, someone get this man a star for this week. Be it a mod with an endless star bag or someone else. Smilie

Nothing new on PH, sadly - we all knew about Mister Blue already.

I'll star him.


Screwing the rules since 1989.

Don't worry I'll star him :3

Can you read Kanji ZeroSimon? Smilie *I wish I could read/speak Japanese...*

The Battle isn't that new, I think it's 4 player, I dunno.

It's actually only two player...which is a bit of a shame in my opinion.

So nothing too new really, but always good to hear a bit on the multiplayer. It looks like it will be a good bit of fun. Thanks again for the translation Simon. We're going to have to appoint you as official C3 translator. Smilie

Thanks for covering him on the stars guys. Smilie

Really think Opoona is looking great. Love the dichotomy between the detailed backgrounds and cartoony characters.

I'm really looking forward to Bongo Blast.

Could be really good fun.

Cant wait for Phantom Hourglass.
But I am worried its going to be rushed,like Wind Waker before it
:-/

More dungeons and less fetch quests please!

Give us Twilight Princess's shear epicness,diversity and fun minigames combined with WindWakers style and Id be happy.

Could the 3D capable DS and Phantom Hourglass mark the end of 2D Zelda games?

I think Zelda and Rune factory are looking pretty good.
I don't think 2D zelda wont come to an end since Phantom Hourglass is really a mix between the 2D and 3d games

I actually hope not, but I think Nintendo will want to make some changes to Zelda, simply to keep people interested.

Twilight Princess was amazing, but it was proof that the Zelda series needs a bit of a makeover.

Seriously i don't understand how Japanese people can read those magazines, it just looks so cluttered and messy!

Too true, although I think a lot of it would be for the images and quick game summaries - still, must be a pain to have your eyes darting from one thing to the next.
