i love this title screen, even more than megaman 2

[StanfordFunk]

@nintendo706 I bought Megaman 2 just so I could watch that intro on my television.

lulz, stop using an emulator, those colours are wrong.

[StanfordFunk]

I used a DVD recorder with a real NES (purchased fall 1988), for your information. Those colors are accurate.

Remember: NTSC and PAL display colors differently.

[Squall4Rinoa]

the main difference comes from using Composite output, rather then RF. the title screen is not pink on the Wii download. the problem was within the limited palette of the NES's video out port. the RF port was more accurate to the colours wanted, if you notice the title screen screenshot in the original manual.

[StanfordFunk]

Right. There are subtle differences that I have noticed between RF and composite. I didn't think the Virtual Console's colors were entirely accurate with the NES, though. They seemed a bit "off" to me. It's hard to say, maybe they're a little darker or duller than I remember.

Sadly, I do not have the manual anymore to reference screen shots.

please look up the manual for details. :)

thats the best game on nes

[BlueAiacos]

I'm a Snes boy, but this is the best version of the Zelda theme.

[FLAME4564]

actualy for those that dont know. Those colours were actualy 100% accurate and reason being since the NES version used cartriges. I mean i once played on one of these things myself and i can point out beyond the shadow of a doubt that those colours for this title screen intro theme actualy are correct.

[gumgum99]

classic intro. This game is pretty hard though. ^_^

[NintendoMageMaster]

My first video game. Right there. :D

[TheLesella]

Dont you just love how much of an epic fail the translation was?

@nintendo706

Yeah , the megaman 2 title music kicks so much a** (its on my mp3) in like a 3 time loop

[electricmastro]

I like to name the Title Screen music "The Legend of Zelda Anthem", it's like it's saying "let the games begin".

I remember the first time I found Gannon's room in level 9 after wondering that level aimlessly for what seemed like weeks! God this game was amazing! By far the best video game every paid period. I challenge anyone who has never played it to beat it without cheating, it will take you a LONG time!
