Good morning Shacknews, how is everyone doing today? House still standing? You kids didn't party too much over the weekend? Managed to finish off Bioshock on hard myself, rather happy with the whole experience. Some mixed feelings towards the end, as your feet seem to even get stuck on bodies, but the pay off was worth it. There's a new Zelda for the DS ~~today~~ tomorrow, it's arguably the most divergent game since the jump to 3D. I'll try to have a impression roundup thread for us then, jumped the gun a bit today. Random Shackbattle Roundup: GamePro, more like GameBro, am I right?

  Is the DS Zelda something like Wind Waker 2?
  
  I still have Twilight Princess lying around, waiting to be played. Once I finish God of War, it's next.

      The wikipedia for the game was saying 10/2 last week, but it looks like it's 10/01 now: http://www.nintendo.com/gamemini?gameid=0nKucR8rpyfV9ktby3s-Kv1_UlMI5P5a .

        All the stores I've been too haven't had it or said it's out tomorrow. Futureshop and Bestbuy's websites say it's out today but have no store stock in Toronto. :( I think Monday might be Nintendo's shipdate.

  My first impression is they really used the touch screen well, it feels fresh, sorta like I'm using the DS for the first time back with Yoshi Touch n Go, Metroid First Hunt and Pac Pix.

  I've had it for ages, but the Japanese version. Loved (almost) every minute of it :D except for the oh-so-repetitive repetitive, annoying main dungeon

  Tomorrow most likely. I'm really tired of street dates being "ship dates". :(
