Since June is fast approaching, and with it the long-awaited release of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Nintendo is letting us have another little taste of our most-wanted DS game. The holiday season is gonna be a long time coming. Doesn't it feel like we've been waiting forever? Oh well, no time to pout -- there are screens to be ogled! Check 'em out after the jump.
For me, the only problem with releases that will be as compelling as this one is that the extra time I spend on my DS is mirrored by a loss in the time I spend reading books.
(that and the fact that girls on the T sometimes look at you funny when you're playing your DS. And if you're playing EBA, that ALWAYS look at you funny.)
I had a chance to play windwaker the other day, and to be honest, i found it to be an annoying game and not very fun.
I probably just didn't get far enough into it, but the first dungeon really shouldn't have been a stupid attempt at putting stealth into an engine/game where it doesnt belong. Having to redo sections X times because of fiddly controls that dont handle stealth well is lame.
Anyhow, i love the graphical style still, so hopefully this will be closer to oldschool zelda with windwaker graphics.
Wind Waker=Best game ever! Overall very fun indeed.. I was thinking they should bring the game to the wii, but they'll probably make him left handed for all the left handed gamers and not even make an option for lefties. Damn lazy Nintendo! At least Microsoft always makes games with left handed options.. and they say ms is evil. Damn Nintendo, you let me down. Maybe it's because bill gates is left handed so he actually cares about us minority.. hahaha

Wow, this looks great.

Is this a June release for Japan, and a November release for the US?
