The first reviews of Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, the series' first instalment on DS, are starting to trickle in from Japan - and it's scoring big. Three out of Famitsu's four reviewing editors gave the game top marks, with the other rebel reviewer dishing out a near-perfect 9/10. The final score is 10 / 10 / 9 / 10 - (39/40), the highest scoring Zelda game ever behind GameCube's Wind Waker (cough, cough).
A couple of new Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass trailers have hit the web showing what we could expect in terms of gameplay. In the first trailer trailer, the main focus is on how to command link to attack enemies. Link can attack not only forward, but his signature spin attack is easily performed with a simple circular motion.
It's the most anticipated DS game of the yea with a rapidly approaching Japanese release date of June 23rd. Pocket Gamer has spied The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass sneaking out onto the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The question is: who's playing it?
Being the most keenly anticipated game for the DS since the excellent New Super Mario Bros can only mean one thing for Link's first outing on DS: rumours, rumours and more rumours.
IGN reports that April is looking as big as can be for the DS over in Japan, with Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings closing off the month. So how's Nintendo going to top this big Square Enix blockbuster in the months that follow?
