msgicon_update Freaky Forums Renovation Complete, For Now
July 21, 2008, 06:05 AM by M. Kava
I've completed the work that I wanted to do on the forums for this time around. Nothing to do with a new theme, like I had hoped might be possible, but instead more backend additions along with some reorganization. Oh, and some new rules for the forums as well. Be sure to give them a look, as they go into effect this Friday. Please direct all comments, issues, and other such speak to the new Rules Discussion board as well.

Thanks for the waiting patiently while I did my work. Didn't mean to take the entire weekend and obviously didn't intend on being up at 6am posting this message either. Anyways, thats all the work that I have left in me for now. Please hit up the suggestion boards as well, I'd like to hear what you all think of what has been done and see if anything needs to be changed or at least debated.

Cheers folks and enjoy the hopefully-better forums.

I'm going to be working on the forums throughout the weekend. Hit up the Suggestions board to suggest anything that you'd like to see happen to the forums. The forums will be closed during the time that I work on them. This is to make it easier to move boards and topics around while I work, without being bothered by somebody stumbling in mid-cycle.
Some of my work should be noticeable already, feel free to comment on that as well. It seems the forums will always be a WIP. :S

news Shiggy Says New Zelda For Wii Progressing
July 16, 2008, 03:27 AM by M. Kava
There is light at the end of the tunnel...
"The Zelda team in particular always works on Zelda titles. The core members of the Zelda team have for a very long time now been focused on Zelda games, and continue to focus on Zelda games, so they are hard at work and working away," Miyamoto said. "And then, of course, we have the DS Zelda team as well, so even there we're having some switching of people in and out where the DS team is mixing in with the Wii team and working on the Wii version."

When asked on if a fundamental change to the next Zelda Wii game...
"I don't necessarily think it will change that drastically, but I think that Zelda is a franchise that does need some big new unique ideas," he said. "And so the team right now is very focused on trying to find those ideas."

news E3 2008: Nintendo Presser Not All Bad
July 16, 2008, 03:17 AM by M. Kava
I thought this was a pleasing look upon this year's E3 Nintendo press conference. Personally, I was not too pleased with this presser as it essentially didn't show off a lot of 'core gamer' games and really only showed off the less-than-serious titles (while fun, not meant to take hours and hours to beat). Also, no Zelda or Mario. I'm not very pleased with being correct on no news on a Mario title. Sure, Galaxy came out last fall but what about Zelda? Twilight Princess was a GC title (lets admit it everyone) so its not like the time between the time the game was finished early (only released at the time of launch as it was a good idea, probably done months in advance) and now... about a year and a half after the last console Zelda released... bah.

Anyways, this isn't all bad. With Tokyo Game Show (TGS) coming later this year in October (a tad later than the usual September) just before the holiday season (the time that companies like to pump out a lot of games), it's likely that'll get some great news then. As ebuch mentioned tonight, just because the games weren't announced.. doesn't mean that they aren't being worked on. Not released soon but at least.. they are being worked on. :S

We'll have to see what later this year holds for us Ninty core gamers. Maybe Zelda or Mario will be announced or possibly even released. And don't forget that E3 isn't over yet. Never know.. stranger things have happened.
I'm not holding my breath though. :S

news Did Nintendo Forget the Core Gamer Audience At This Year's E3?
July 15, 2008, 12:26 PM by M. Kava
"I guess Animal Crossing City Folk was the 'hardcore' announcement?"
-Michael McWhertor from Kotaku

The above statement from McWhertor right after the Nintendo presser today says it all... did Nintendo forget its core gamer audience this year? They mentioned that the dev teams that make Mario and Zelda games are hard at work but didn't show anything or even talk about them, at all. There was nothing during the presser that was really a major announcement for the core audience, if you ask me. We got WiiMusic (which is entertaining and I look forward to), WiiSports Resort (which I love and will purchase right away), and even WiiSpeak (finally! Voice communication on the Wii! Gimme it in Brawl now!) but what about our core games? There's no Mario, no Zelda, no Metroid... it's more of 'casual'-style games. Casual games are needed (all people start as casual gamers, then move on) but where's the meat to the games that have allowed Nintendo to even get to this point in the gaming market.

In response to Reggie, sorry but... Animal Crossing Wii is only one game. And GTA on the DS is not exactly a big 'woo-hoo' title. Angry

What do you folks think? Comment away.
