Pre-E3 06: Spyro returns once again

GC News | The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

Spyro, the much-travelled purple dragon, will be returning this autumn for all present generation consoles, GBA and DS in Vivendi's The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. The game apparently "uncovers the true origin of Spyro the Dragon as he evolves into a living, breathing weapon of explosive destruction," which suggests that the action will be more dynamic than we've come to expect from the aging platform hero. Spyro will be able to unleash ground-to-air melee combos and other furious ...

Looking back: The Legend of Zelda

GC News | Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Sept 28, 2007 Nintendo currently owns four of the top 10 best-selling franchises in the video game world. Number one? Of course it's Mario, the bouncy platform king everyone knows. Nipping at his heels are 493 super-powered Pokemon. Charging right behind them, however, is one lone figure riding atop his tireless steed, sword held high in utter triumph and hard-nosed defiance against all other comers. So, even though Mario and Pokemon outrank Link by a wide margin, the latter's mindshare and ...

What do you want from Wind Waker 2? Well?

GC News | Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Britain's best independent Nintendo mag wants you to get involved with the shaping of a classic. What things, according to you, can The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker 2 simply not do without?What would you like to see? What improvements over the original? What brand new ideas? Do you want the sequel to have a darker, more sinister atmosphere - like Majora's Mask compared to Ocarina of Time? A greater sense of epic scale, perhaps? A game that returns to Zelda's land-based roots and forgoes all that ...

It was originally mooted as the follow-up to Mario 64, although sequel honours eventually went to Mario Sunshine. At the end of 2002, Nintendo guru Shigeru Miyamoto stated that he was again hard at work on ...

Marathon Zelda Gamers at it Again

GC News from N4G | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Marathon Zelda Gamers at it Again

You may remember last weekend when Kotaku posted about the guys at cameronbanga.com who tried to make it through four Zelda games in 48 hours. Due to some glitches, they weren't able to squeeze in all four games but still managed to raise over $1200 for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. So, in an attempt to make up what they couldn't finish, the boys are at it again but this time they have given themselves eleven hours to complete Twilight Princess. The marathon gaming session will again benefit Child's Play and will be the first in a series of charity driven weekend gaming sessions.

Cartoon Spin-Offs: The good, the bad and the WTF!?

GC News | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Jan 10, 2007 We're all used to seeing games make the jump from small screen to silver screen. But getting sprinkled with a little Hollywood magic isn't the only way that our favourite game characters can be packaged to appeal to a broader audience. Every so often virtual heroes of gaming dodge the bright lights of a blockbuster movie (or, indeed, a veritable cinematic craptacular) and find themselves transformed into a cartoonified persona. But which of gaming's iconic faces have been treated ...

Time traveling with Link

GC News | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Mention Link today and most people will envisage the young wolf boy that inhabits Twilight Princess complete with his signature sword, shield and green tunic. And while theres no denying that this is certainly the best Link has ever looked, hes come along way since he first graced our consoles way back in 1986. Of course it comes as no surprise that Link has taken on a wealth of different looks over his years of adventuring and exploring. He began his adventures as a tiny sprite in The Legend ...

Game Cube Zelda: Twilight Princess Shortages?!

GC News from N4G | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Game Cube Zelda: Twilight Princess Shortages?!

When your new console has a single killer-app (and that Twilight Princess -- she's a killer) and another version of the game is supposed to ship almost a month afterward on your very dead old console does it make sense to short supply the old version?
