    Woah, I watched all that and I must say it makes sense except that the new ones could totally shatter the idea.

    Huh...I never even considered the split time line theory.

    I had always wondered what had happened to the "Hero of Time" in Windwaker. Makes sense now.

    And that review has me really hyped to buy Twilight Princess.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    My sentiments exactly.

    Though, I must say that when the footage showed the "darkness" pursuing Zelda for messing up the timeline, my mind wandered back to a certain Prince of Persia...

    Also, would the two CD-i games fall into each timeline branch separately, as parallels to each other (in terms of shittiness among other things)? And, pardon my language, but I think that most would agree when I say, seeing as how Link was an utter fag in those, I think its safe to say that Winged Dancer's comments prove that the series has gone full circle

    I hope you guys aren't like these guys:

    Strap Yourself Into Disaster
    Sweaty hands are no excuse for stupid mistakes.
    by Micah Seff
    November 21, 2006 - People everywhere are caught up in a Wii-induced fever, and televisions across North America are feeling the resulting pain. Nintendo has gone to great lengths to inform gamers of the benefits of using the Wiimote's wrist strap -- mainly keeping your Wiimote from hurtling towards solid objects and shattering -- but gamers seem to be trying equally hard to prove that even this preventative measure is not enough.

    Reports have been popping up on message boards and blogs of several Wiimote-related accidents, many of which have resulted in damage to expensive pieces of electronics. It seems that gamers' sweat-drenched hands are causing some slippery mishaps to occur when they wildly flail the Wiimote around like crazed maniacs. Apparently, Nintendo should have included a warning advising gamers to not let go of the Wiimote when they swing it, because people seem be to having almost as much trouble grasping this simple fact as they are the Wiimote itself.

    One thing that people can do to avoid a hilariously costly mistake is to thread their wrist strap through the plastic loop on the Nunchuck's connection plug. This can help distribute some of the force a little more evenly and can make a potential disaster into something far more fun (although arguably less funny).
    My prediction came true.
    How can people be so stupid? Its obvious that if you are going to swing the Wii controler, you NEED to secure it to your wrist, if you don't want to risk breaking anything else....
    (http://wii.ign.com/articles/747/747149p1.html)


    On another mather... any of you have info on this?

    W i i

    - UNCONFIRMED: Numerous Wii owners reported that their Wii console broken down after downloading a system update from the WiiConnect24 service. After the update, the systems would only display the error code "110213" on screen. This problem can only be fixed by sending the consoles back to Nintendo for repair.

    On PS3 matters:

    On this link (http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus) you can find if your games have no problem playing or if they have glitches on PS3.

    For now, I've seen there are several minor glitches on FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX and Valkyrie Profile 2. Later I'll check my other games. (No glitches on Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Star Ocean 2, Star Ocean 3 and the main Resident Evil games)

    that probably the fake story in picture from an idiot who suposedly swinged his wiimote too hard toward a crt tv, resulting it being cracked (so obvious it is fake, how can a little wiimote make that kind of dmg, on a CRT tv! )

    Yeah. Because IGN likes to publish fake info


    why do you think there are wrist straps? just because they are cool? Shit can happen to people who are not careful. Obviously it wont happen to consious (sp?) players

    IGN previously reported that when they got a bunch of never-played-before girls that work at the merchandise section (or something) one of them forgot about the wrist strap and the controller did in fact stamp against a wall. Nothing of the sort has happened to me - not only because I use the wrist strap, but also because I don't put that much strengh into my swings...

    And Wii controllers are almost 80 dollars (for both remote & nunchuck) here, so I'm not risking them.

    Exactly. You are a concious (sp???) player. You know how much it is worth, and what could happen if not handled correctly.

    Non-hardcore or passive players will take the controller because it looks "cool" to play, use to much force, wont use the wrist strap, and end throwing the controller to far and beyond.

    PS: I do want to play the Wii but I'll wait until a co-worker gets one.

    Well looks like the Wii can run emulators like the PS3 can.

    check www.smashboards.com for brawl characters.

    The only new ones introduced I think are: metaknight, snake, wario, pit, and zerosuit samus.

    I can now confirm that Wii Remotes can indeed go splat against your TV/wall if you're not careful. My brother had a friend over today and they were playing WiiSports Tennis when his friend's hand got too sweaty and the controller flew against the wall. Luckily he wasn't putting much strength in the swing...

    And so far Sonic isn't confirmed, but if Solid Snake is in, why not Sonic? Super SMash Brothers might just open a new era of cross-plataform fighting.... on the Nintendo consoles.

    hell, why not just get one trademark character from each company(capcom, square-enix, so fourth)? konami is getting a piece of it, so why not? seriously, that'd be awesome.

    lately, it seems like sonic is a whore to everyone, so it'd seem somewhat logical for him to make an appearence.

    such teasers.. photoshop?

    If I'm not mistaken Solid Snake isn't trademarked by any company, however Sega holds the copyrights to Sonic The Hedgehog, so Nintendo couldn't put him in without their permission. But they are on pretty good terms with each other, so it's not out of the question.

    Personally I would like to see Goemon from Mystical Ninja, or Geno from Super Mario RPG in SSBB, that would be awesome.

    Edit : Wait, actually I think Konami has the copyrights to Solid Snake, so they probably had to get their permission to put him into SSBB, but regardless, they would have to get Sega's permission for Sonic.

    Yep! It has suffered worse. Like the time we set it on fire. Eh, the wall, not the Wiimote. That's the last thing I want to set on fire. But that's another story.

    And on Smash Brothers - if I remember correctly, Sakurai (the game producer) mentioned in some interview that Snake is in because the creator of the Metal Gear series (Hideo Kojima, was it?) called him and asked him to please insert Snake in the new Smash Brothers.

    So it seems now that Smash Brothers is the Woody Allen of videogames... being in won't bring money but a lot of fame. Now, if only Sega did the same as Konami...

    And lol@ Sonic being a whore. It's a little sad, but it's also true.
