Wii classics for $20 in new Nintendo Selects line
Nintendo's launching its own budget line of software, offering vintage Wii games including The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for $20.
Nintendo is launching a budget-priced 'classics' line for the Wii on May 20, similar to the the Xbox 360's Platinum Hits range and the Greatest Hits line on PlayStation 3, not to mention 'tendo's own Player's Choice series for earlier consoles.
The Nintendo Selects line will initially offer The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Super Sluggers, and Wii Sports for $20 each. While some might not be to your taste, it's a range with broad appeal.
Wii Sports has traditionally been bundled with the Wii console itself, but this will change on May 20 with the launch of a new, cheaper $150 bundle containing Mario Kart Wii instead.
Rumours of such a budget line were circulating last month, though Super Smash Bros. Brawl was then included with the supposed launch lineup and Wii Sports was not. It wouldn't at all be surprising if Brawl were made a Nintendo Selects title further down the line, though.
The European launch lineup for Nintendo Selects is slightly different, offering WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Mario Strikers Charged, Wii Sports, and Animal Crossing: City Folk. The Eurotanian launch of Selects will also come on May 20, with pricing ultimately determined by retailers.

It's pretty good, ugly now days, but good.

-
wat?
-
-
as was I my good man. Also, I agree.
-
Ugly animation, ugly textures, ugly blocking areas. Good art design to make up for it. The animations (especially for the introduction) make me cringe.
All that said, the game is good and totally worth playing provided you are not a graphics whore.-
Midna was pretty good imo. But yea the animation pales to WW =/
The sky temple looked pretty sick though.

It's a Zelda game, and it's good, it's not as good IMO as the OoT or MM but it's still at the peak of the genre.

It was a pretty good Zelda game I thought, but then NOTHING comes close to being as good as ALTTP or even LA. I've learned to accept mediocrity in Zelda games since then and take them each on their own merits.
Occasionally the bitterness wells up in me when I start trying to figure out why Nintendo refuses to revisit their best Zelda formula (non-gimmicky birds eye view Zelda)-
I'm really hoping the Super Wii has an update to LoZ: 4-swords that's a bit less mario like and in HD.
-
see I think most of these game boy ports with the exception of LA are gimmicky. I mean, come on...a TRAIN? Not to mention timed ANYTHING makes me absolutely crazy.

It was fantastic it just had a lot of traveling that people didn't like.

you shut your mouth when talking about WW

Wind Waker had some great music. Shut mouth, open ears: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibkZdr-YPvo (From Mario & Zelda Big Band Live)

I really enjoyed the last 3 dungeons the most I think. Still hate water dungeons, but TP had the best one for what it was.

It can't be me that thinks this 'is' the reimagining of ocarina of time for modern era.
Sure it does get a bit tedious and long (they got a few more years of dev time), but the scope and overall production value seems to be something worth playing through at least once in your life.
Oh yea. Those fucking chicken baby things. Now that's messed up.

How about rereleasing Pikmin 2 for the Wii like they did for the first game?
-
Sounds like a last call to me.

I'm hoping Wii 2 gets released end of 2011. Wii is pretty much dead, look at the pre-orders:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=s9_hps_bw_clnk?search-alias=videogames&field-enc-merchantbin=ATVPDKIKX0DER&field-availability=-1&field-releasedate=3y-60y&node=14218901&sort=relevancerank&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-10&pf_rd_r=0MFQHGCTMCZ27EVQV96Q&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1278892982&pf_rd_i=14218901
The best scenario for me would be if Wii 2 upscales Wii games. I still have some Wii games I need to beat/play, and I'd be much more likely to buy more if the new system upscales them.-
While I doubt it will come out this year, it would be awesome if it did.

Give me the new mario so i can get it for not 70 billion dollars.
-
Um, which one?
-
-
-
Evergreen formula my ass.
-
-
No, I'm saying I hate it and they should've dropped a bunch of the first party titles to $30 or less years ago.
-
-
I understand them wanting to make more money obviously, but 3 years really is the maximum cut off point I think.

I'd still recommend you to pick up the gamecube version if you can find it.
left handed link + no fucking waggle to attack.
-
But only two item-equip buttons, whereas the Wii uses four.
-
in which you need to reach out awkwardly at the dpad =/
My fingers aren't the longest around so it might just be me.

I played a bit both and greatly preferred the Wii controls. Maybe the waggle worked as intended on me. That game isn't very combat heavy anyway, and aiming arrows with a pointer is very fun.
