BREAKING: NoA Announces Xenoblade Chronicles! Holiday 2011! First Trailer!

[CornishCreamtea07]

Twilight princess with Wind Waker graphics

[vadejocs]

One guy miss the jump. Three jump, for only two birds. Someone had a short live.

[omma911]

Zelda looks a bit strange. Like a mixture of a sheep and a retarded girl.

[Avshalon]

Zelda gets more Japanese every time they make it.

[Ticiri]

0:52 LORD JABU-JABU STRIKES AGAIN

[LocutusIsBorg]

This looks awful.

[13lackfriday]

what the? fuck you Ninnies. You canNOT have the best of both world...either stick with the dark, grim realism of TW or go back to the lighthearted tooniness of Wind Waker. What you've made looks like the bastard child of some shoddy anime franchise game and FF, especially with that epona-bird abomination.

[deathstarrringo]

@13lackfriday Legend of Zelda has had the contrasting grim/lightheartedness since at least Ocarina of Time. Lrn2 Zelda.

[amigopbobo]

no more blonde Link? D:

[JohnsonMatthewR]

thumbs up if boogie sent u here

[soxharley]

Looks meh.

[tehbasil]

legend of zelda meets skies of arcadia?

[elFlexor]

Zelda Game: Y I can't decide whether u cartoony or realistic (but beautiful nevertheless) and y u reminding me of avatar's cool flying animal thingy scenes?!?

[weckersham]

god the graphics here are awful.

[harryegibson999]

trollololol



[joutubesgmail]

FINALLY actually orchestrated music :D

[LaSepultura]

360p. Just like the Wii's graphics.

[bboarderdude]

@LaSepultura Actually, the Wii displays 480p.

[aavindraa]

@bboarderdude : And the upcoming Wii (WiiU?) will do HD as well, including for old games like SSBB. Although the Dolphin emulator has been doing that for a while.

[ewew43]

WANT



[filorps]

Is that the Wind Fish?

[Daver14X]

WAIT NINTENDO CARES ABOUT COMICON?

[bboarderdude]

28 people were turned into trees in the Dark World.

[Dargakis]

Looks pretty decent for a PSP title, although IMO FF-0 has better graphics (aside from the shadows)

[Heemoproductions]

@Dargakis This is Wii, bro.

[001BINARY100]

What's inappropriate for children?

[sgolden17]

What! Link has pants instead of tights! What bull shit is this?

[Zer0fication]

It reminds me someone on Avatar (Movie)

[decoderma]

Wait whats this about Xenoblade Chronicles?



[Roooobb]

No Goron rock nipples? I'm not sure I want this game.

[RaeperFawks]

Not wearing tights anymore? Sorry nintendo, you just lost money.

[VikingZippy]

@RaeperFawks Agreed. The pants look goofy and out of character. But I'm sure people can get over such a gaff if it's an amazing enough game =)

[JoyeuseXI]

@RaeperFawks I like the pants.

Personally I never liked his white pantyhose.

[Roooobb]

@RaeperFawks He has the pants in Twilight Princess, as well.

[boogie2988]

SWEET LORD, YES PLEASE.

[Missykicksassdude]

Why the Wii!!! WHYYYY?!?!?!?! -_- *cries*

[XtrueheroX]

OOOMMMMFFFGG YEEESSS MOOREE FOOTTAAGGEE

[magguuGG]

Dragon Quest? Anyone?



[Anonymous6288]

Why does Link look like Justin Bieber?

[Missykicksassdude]

@Anonymous6288 DO NOT EVER SAY SUCH DISGUSTING WORDS! BLASPHEMY!

[misterBasto]

Lame

[senfood]

This trailer makes my sword point skyward.

[Hmm7777777]

Can someone reverse this?

[ZZHydroZZ]

Looks kind of boring, compared to other Zeldas.

[TwistedPretzelPro]

i went to switch this to 720p, but then i realized i couldn't...

[glukaschlok]

I hope there's a way to remove the waggle.

[ChinpokoMaster7]

You can totally feel the sexual tension between Link and Zelda.

[sion41391]

But will by the same sports or cod game every year

[sion41391]

17 haters

[CuriosityRoads]

Looks like fucking garbage. Nintendo is dead.

[lucky7adnan]

This looks like the biggest change nintendo has ever done to the standard formula and people are bitching that it's the same? Yes your saving another princess/girl or whatever, but is the plot the real reason you play zelda games? Nintendo is definitely not creatively bankrupt, I would say they are the only company innovative and smart enough to keep series that are now decades old fresh today, see mario galaxy as an example.

[socco90]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Uchidajapanboy]

Das wird nicht ganz so gut wie twilight princess

[GrapeVineWhisper]

why does the rope swing animations remind me of tomb raider 1

[PCPicklePC]

The new zelda look's kind of weird, even without the sharp knees I still wouldn't.

[thepokekid01]

This is going to sound crazy in a new zelda video but...

IS OR ISN'T XENOBLADE CHRONICLES ANNOUNCED FOR THE US!?! You can't tease people with that header and then go back on it, it's way too cruel!

[vgwhiz]

Holy crap, they modeled a shoebill.

[Luxuryball]

The amount of idiots judging this game over what I'll have to admit is a pretty sub-par trailer is just... amazing.

Nintendo themselves have stated they've shaken up the conventional formula. Overworld and dungeon play are apparently seamless and more streamlined. It's no longer a "go in dungeon, beat boss, leave, go to next dungeon, etc etc". And the 1:1 sword control sounds incredible. Don't shove it till you've tried it, folks.

Oh, and it's orchestrated. :3

[RocketGuy3]

@Luxuryball Trailer looks pretty nice to me. Not quite as nice as the one at E3, but that's mainly because it doesn't show much new stuff from the one at E3.

[Luxuryball]

@RocketGuy3 Eh, maybe it's those unnecessary shots of the townsfolk at the start I don't like...

[DavetzWin]

Boring as hell, Zelda is dead.

[TerakJK]

Zelda Zelda Zelda Zelda Zelda Zelda Zelda

[DTevr89]

So this takes place Before OoT but After the Minish Cap?

[osmicow]

@DTevr89 I'm pretty sure this is before all the other games.

[HassanAlHajry]

Let me guess, the story is save Zelda again? Nintendo is bankrupt creativity wise

[Luxuryball]

@HassanAlHajry That's usually the overshadowing plot, but there's a ton of shit thrown in between that's more creative than what you'd see in other games. Just like how Super Mario Galaxy was about saving Peach. But we all know one gives a shit about that, right? It's the means of getting to that point that really screams creativity. I believe Skyward Sword will be no different.

[RocketGuy3]

@HassanAlHajry As opposed to the rest of the industry. Let me guess, shoot some aliens or bad guys again? But this time you get to do it in three new maps!

[SonicXmario50]

Its pretty cool to see some black Hyllians lol Anyways Not enough new but just enough cool. I can't wait for this game. Also Gorons yay!

[Medalion]

Soooo good

[fartybumholes]

You smell of B.O. Bob.

[bc1391]

Gorons Fuck Yeah!

[grimeygutta]

y does link look like a woman

[BeysusIsHere]

GOTY 2011

[Yagya]

This will be delicious on Dolphin.

[AnddoTrailers]

@Yagya Mmm... ohh yeah

[zeldahater1]

@Yagya

Haha, hell yeah.

[harmfulifconsumed]

@Yagya Stealing a ZELDA game? Yeah, I can see why Nintendo doesn't want to please you fucking assholes.

[chadboban]

@harmfulifconsumed Um you can buy the game and run it on dolphin for the main purpose of seeing it in HD. Sure I can't clarify if Yagya meant that, but it ain't fair for you to call everyone assholes just because of what one person said.

[harmfulifconsumed]

@chadboban You have to have a certain DVD drive to run Wii games from the legitimate disc if I recall, and I'm willing to bet less than 1% of users have that shit. Even if they do I don't believe they don't also run illegally downloaded games.

It's like people who buy R4s and claim to use it for shitty fucking homebrew. Yeah, right...

[Yagya]

@harmfulifconsumed You automatically assume that people that use Dolphin steal games? I never mentioned stealing. I only mention Dolphin for the sheer fact that this game can then be played in a proper resolution with AA among other things.

[harmfulifconsumed]

@Yagya Yes, I'm sure you're a legitimate buyer of every Wii game you own and only use emulators to run games you've already bought.

[Yagya]

@harmfulifconsumed

I don't know about you, but yes, the only emulator I use is Dolphin, and yes, I own all of the games that I use Dolphin for.

[harmfulifconsumed]

@Yagya Good then, if you're being truthful which forgive me but I don't know you so I doubt your being 100% honest.

[Arpeggiato]

@harmfulifconsumed I do the same thing, but for the two GC games that defined my grade school years - Sunshine & WW. It's fantastic being able to replay them again in glorious, glorious HD. I bought them when they came out, beat them every which way countless times, and now that I'm older it's great for nostalgia (because I can't bring my GC to my dorm *sniff*). I can't guess at how many people pirate, but I think some underestimate the number of legit Dolphin users.

[Cadory3]

@Yagya Super cool Zelda with awesome Wii MotionPlus 1:1 control releases; play it with keyboard and mouse. FUUUUUUUUUU-

[JMames]

Not sure if Nintendo has officially announced this yet, but I've heard from some insiders that the boomerang will indeed be making an appearance in this iteration of Zelda.

[rusuperbad]

Release date? NO -_-

[abasalom]

Unban me NeoGaf! ;_;

[SketchyGamerMan]

@abasalom

What did you get banned for?

[gamecrazed27]

@abasalom same here lol

[oddworldoddworld]

@abasalom

You say one wrong thing and they will ban you.

[dusperz]

@abasalom Evillore dislikes this comment.

[olimario]

Never seen the Zelda series look so bland and uninspired.

And the gameplay and puzzles all look samey.

I'll wait for a reinvention of the series before jumping back in.

[hobbes71002]

@olimario What do you mean the gameplay and puzzles all look samey? Sword combat is promising to be much more entertaining. We've heard word of a restructure of the dungeon mechanics. And furthermore, as far as I'm aware, we haven't actually really seen any of the puzzles yet. It sounds quite promising to me...

[Keviinskyyy]

Gorons confirmed.....Zoras better be in there too

[TysonThunder]

Awesome.

[SDangerK]

This is danger, and I approve of this message

[CrashMaster472]

+1 for NeoGaf

[jeremycarrier]

Shoutouts to Neo Gaf

[BatteryAcidVideos]

Asshole title, mang.
