Retro_Link Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 OK, so with April Fools just around the corner, this is the place for all the rumours/news that seems to good to be true, and most probably is! And first up, with what's surely an attempt to get in there first!... http://www.gamefocus.ca/?nav=new&nid=4694 Zelda: Ocarina of Time coming to the Wii Remake of the old N64 classic in the works Apparently Nintendo is not done with the cool announcements. After announcing The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks last Wednesday at GDC, it seems like the Japanese firm has another huge announcement to make this week. Late last night, our Japanese contact over at Nintendo sent us word about something really exciting: a Wii remake of the one of the greatest N64 games ever produced: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. We were also told that an official announcement would be made around April 5, which is the North American launch of the Nintendo DSi. While the whole announcement made us really excited, announcing the game alongside the launch of the DSi made us ask ourselves one question that went unanswered: Is it going to have some kind of DSi inter-connectivity? Mark your calendars people and get ready for probably one of the most cool announcements of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Maybe its true, sometimes they reveal stuff on April Fools, who's to say this remake isnt true? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Nice idea for the thread, wicked title too Read about Zelda earlier, I hope they never touch this classic. The only thing that I would like is for them to port it to the DS like they did with Mario 64, other than that they should leave the game as it is....PERFECT!

darksnowman Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I saw the thread title and thought RedShell had something to share about Wii Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I saw the thread title and thought RedShell had something to share about Wii Music. Mr.T sure is effective at teaching fools. I think it's time for him to spread the word again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I saw the thread title and thought RedShell had something to share about Wii Music. That's the exact same thing I thought, too. Ahh, Redshell has the power. An Ocarina of Time remake: It'd fly off the shelves, that's for sure. Although, is it ready for a remake? I prefer to look back at the game in it's current form and think to myself "What a beast the N64 was?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkjak Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Remember when the same rumour surfaced during the GC era? It was true... sort of. We didn't get a remake, but we got Zelda: Collectors edition. Perhaps we'll really get a remake this time? I wouldn't rule it out. Plus all april's fools jokes are a fail if they're not posted on April 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I wouldn't rule it out. Plus all april's fools jokes are a fail if they're not posted on April 1st. The internet (and magazines) don't understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I want a portable Zelda: Ocarina Of Time not really a wii-make one...though i still buy it probably..even when i've bought it like 5 times already...i'm under Nintendo's spell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicktendo Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Not an April fools joke as such, but N64 magazine had an 'exclusive preview' of next years April cover one April (maybe 1999) and it had "Super ultimate swearing brothers" on the faux front cover after Shigsy stated that mario would grow up in the next installment. Banjo-Sixie was "previewed" and Jes Bickham was giving a hands on playtest to "Porta 64" which was an N64 machine that was portable (except it had no buttons or a screen...) Can't remember anything else but it was at the height of N64's comedy and it's a testament to how good it was that I still remember that much.

Retro_Link Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Couple of more than likely suspects... http://uk.media.wii.ign.com/articles/968/968498/vids_1.html SSBB: X Violence A clip leaked to IGN in an internal presentation points to WiiExpand downloadable content and a violent Smash Bros. Brawl add-on. http://www.cubed3.com/news/12016 Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Sega return to platforming roots with a new multi-format project, Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Recently snooping through Sega's FTP archive, whilst grabbing the files for The Conduit, we noticed new assets for a couple of games - including one particularly interesting one, Sonic the Hedgehog 4. We kid you not. It seems to be a high-definition 2D platformer starring Sonic, Tails, Chuckles [ *lame*] and Eggman - oh, and the much loved Jet the Bird.

david.dakota Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 ^^^ I'd say Shenmue 3 is the bigger news story there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Umbrella Corporation requests bailout WASHINGTON, D.C.--Executives from the Umbrella Corporation today asked the US government for nearly $100 billion in aid money. They said that without such funding, the world's largest pharmaceutical bioterrorism researcher could go bankrupt as early as June. It would be the company's second bankruptcy, having restructured several years ago after running a gauntlet of lawsuits and criminal investigations. "This isn't just about keeping the Umbrella family together, or making sure our 10,000 employees have paychecks to put food on the table," Umbrella founder Ozwell E. Spencer said in an impassioned speech to the US Senate earlier today. "It's about hope. It's about mom, baseball, and apple pie. It's about keeping the United States at the forefront of exciting fields such as pharmaceutically mind-controlled supersoldiers." http://www.gamespot.com/news/6207121.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
