Wind Waker is one of the best goddamn video games ever made, and I will buy it just to rub on my genitals.

Same.

It doesn't count, you judge games based on how your testicles feel

Isn't that how its done?

I always evaluate the quality of games by rubbing them on my testicles.

I'm not particularly bothered about getting a Wii U but I really want Windwaker, I'll probably wait and see what the new Zelda is like or if they bring out Majora's Mask in HD before I consider getting one.

Watched the live-stream as it happened and it was quite surprising to see some Zelda news. I have never played Wind Waker and i've been meaning to for ages now. I've heard so much about it and it does look fantastic. if anything this HD remake is making me want to play it even more.
*moves Wind Waker to top of game wishlist.*

Also Nintendo announced a new 3D Mario game and Mario Kart Wii U are the works; both will be playable at E3.

E3 is already sounding 10 times better than last years.

You need to play it. Also you need to finally play Majora's Mask! They're definitely my favourite Zelda games.



I'm not big on the 2D ones, though.

Wind Waker HD looks amazing, it makes me cry because I don't have a Wii U.

They also announced a Yoshi game with the visual style of Kirby's Epic Yarn. It looks cute and all but I don't think I'll be excited until more gameplay is announced.

New Yoshi, too? Oh my.

My pants. I might need to change them.

It's how I evaluate the quality of potential girlfriends.

I don't have a girlfriend.

None of them passed quality inspection.

Oh snap, burn!

Ah that's a shame. Link to the Past is one of the finest games I've ever played.

I'm not keen on the Epic Yarn style at all. If it was in the old Yoshi's Island style, I would be really interested as I loved the original on Super Nintendo. But hey, it's probably going to be a fun platformer anyway so I'll ignore the artstyle.

The artstyle for Kirby's Epic Yarn is amazing and you have no soul or credibility as a human being.

Kirby's Epic Yarn looked so awesome, I need to get around to playing it. The art reminded me of Yoshi's Story, another game with great art.

Sadly aforementioned game wasn't that good.

He has bad taste, and are bad at games again.

My sig says otherwise.

Well, at least Relic got a decent home, not UbiSoft or anything. Zenimax would have been nice, considering the freedom they give Bethesda. But looks like Dawn of War 3 won't be a free-to-play MMOFPS at any rate.

Freedom to what? Making buggy games with weak story and with some bad elements?

Well, that's what they were doing before they were acquired by Zenimax.

Ok, I see it now

I wonder if Crytek could make Homefront any good? I didn't hear great things about the first one.

Hold on, does this mean no more Darksiders games? :(

For now, it seems that way.

Wait! Hold up people. Bayonetta creators may buy Darksiders IP

I think Bethesda games are fun.


But Varrok is completely right, so posrep he gets.

...is what I would be saying but spread the love, yadda yadda yadda.

Still playing Binding of Isaac, hating it, wanting Edmund McMillan's genitals to be strung out on a barbed wire fence.

Fun game, though.

THQ hired Crytek UK(Formerly Free Radical) to make Homefront 2, I'm guessing Crytek bought the property so all the work they have poured in so far would not go to waste. No idea if they're going to be able to find a publisher though.

THQ's remaining IP's not sold in the auction will be sold later this month. This includes Red Faction, Homeworld, and the Darksiders IP(Sadly not Vigil, they were laid off yesterday).

Didn't Homeworld go with Relic? That's weird.
