I would guess that you would have to take out the memory card and back it up on your pc or whatever storage you have possible.

Oh yes. Zelda OOT is one of the best games ever made... no my personal opinion, but a matter of fact.

Meh. I've had my fill of it; not that it's no good; but like many other games, it's become dated. I prefer the SNES version or it's GBA re-release myself; that was (IMO) the best lasting title in the series. It had a better fun factor and it felt more fantastical(Yes, it's a word, as in more fantasy-esque), it honestly drew me in a lot more than OoT; because OoT was so impressive due to it's (Back then) cutting edge graphics. Now that the graphics have been so dated, it just appears like a clunky game with rather annoyingly tight controls. The SNES one relied on genuinely great, intricate artwork; that's why it lasted more for me, and why it still draws me in so much better than the 64 versions did. (I didn't much care for MM, personally, but it wasn't a BAD title perse.)

That's just my take on it, but I'd be glad to hear other's opinions.

hansom I agree with you. I have gone back and played through oot and the graphics are so blocky its nearly unbearable. On the other hand Link to the past relies more on gameplay and much less on graphics. What a great game. If you want a gem that is much like Link to the past, try playing the minish cap on gba. Almost like a part two to link to the past.

Yeah, I loved the Minish Cap, although truthfully never finished it...

I'm somewhat looking forward to the new DS title coming up; but I'm a little concerned as to whether it will hit that same quality.

Another great (And commonly overlooked) title in the series was the Four Swords on GameCube. It was a hard setup for many people, but I've got to say in all honesty, that it is very much worth while. I really like the smooth gameplay and great animation. It will continue to be a good title for many years for the same reason that the SNES and GBA titles have been so good, rather than a (currently) cutting edge gaphics engine, they relied and great detailed artwork to make the game pretty. And that goes a long way.

The gamecube entry showed a fair amount of that approach as well; but was lagely under-appreciated. Truthfully I'm more inclined to the 2d entries in this franchise, but when quality strikes, I'll play it either way.

I honestly think a VC version of OOT would be a waste for Nintendo... It's been released, and re-released *twice* and it's not even ten years old yet. What's the point? Honestly. No one missed it. Yes, it was a milestone game; but unless you're really going to play it again, specifically on the Wii; there's not much point to this. I don't think it will be as big a prospect as the other ones have been. Even Majora's Mask, which is lesser known may be a better option, because a lot of people still haven't played it, even though it is not as good.

I think there's a statute they need to understand on how many re-releases of one game can be done in a period of time... It gets too oversaturated, and people lose interest. Nintendo didn't rerelease the first Super Mario Bros. two years after initial release, then again six months later, then again a year after that. That would get really boring. They've re-released Super ario Bros several times now; *BUT* they include updates, usually graphical updates; extras, fun minigames, background information.... More than was sold on day one. And quite frankly 'Now with Trilinear filtering' doesn't mean jack squat to me.

I want see REAL new features if they're going to keep this up. I wouldn't mind seeing a graphical overhaul on it, as was done with Mario over the years. But another straight port would be a tiresome waste.

*****
Japan?s largest advertising agency, Dentsu, is working with Nintendo to offer a video-distribution service (Like Youtube but specially for the Wii)
***
Issues with the Wii's Guitar Hero world tour microphone not working for many customers ?
*
Possible to get sport injuries of the wii due to mimicking the movements ; I personally think its trash not saying you cant get it but im saying its an issue where you give this to someone who has never played a video game in their entire life and take the wii as something other then a video game and in the end we get some issues just like with people and the wrist straps back in January 2007.


Well thats today not interesting but trust me some good news will come out this year such as I belive a New Zelda game revealed and maybe a new mario adventure.
