LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Zelda 25th Anniversary To Go Without A Collection

Posted on Friday, June 17 @ 02:57:27 Eastern by


Given the success of the Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition for Wii, an equivalent collection for Zelda's 25th Anniversary would seem as obvious as having a Master Sword in a Zelda game. But not so, according to the latest Iwata Asks segment with Miyamoto on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

Nintendo of America proposed a Collector's Pack for Zelda's 25th Anniversary, but Miyamoto and Iwata rejected the idea claiming that it wasn't very Nintendo-like to release two anniversary packs so close together, two years in a row. Nintendo is still celebrating the occasion with the international Zelda orchestral concerts, a free WiiWare download for Four Swords, and a gold-colored Wii Remote Plus for Skyward Sword.

    First was the announcement that WiiU currently only supports one controller. That’s it, one controller. There will be no offline two player games, party games, or anything of that nature. One console, one player, one controller. Which seems odd considering some of Nintendo’s best titles are party games such as Mario Party and Super Smash Bros.

    Well that’s not too bad. Give me good games and I still will hold an interest in the product, right? Nah, Nintendo decided to strip even more features out of the device. This time stating that Blu-ray and DVD movie playback will not be included in WiiU. They noted that the cost to put the technology into the system was too high due to patent rights. No Blu-ray, fine that is understandable. You don’t want to pay Sony and allow them to get rich off your console too. It isn’t entirely needed. However no DVD playback? Rather or not Instant streaming from services like Netflix will be available to fill in the gap have yet to be announced.

    The system doesnt need a DVD player. Any respectful home with children is already going to have multiple DVD players in the home anyway. Nintendo's logic on this area of functionality is spot on. Now if they decided that the WiiU didnt play Wii games i could see not backing the product as we all saw how pissy people would get when they found out their very expensive PS3 (( unless you were lucky and purchased the model that would before they took it off the market )) didnt play PS2 games anylonger...and at that a select library of PS1 games. (( i myself held onto my PS1 and 2 before PS3 came out for that very reason. ))

    Wow, lots of childhood memories would disagree with you. Although yeah, going with cartridges was kind of stupid.

    They didnt have much of a choice with the Cartridge idea. The plans to Meld with Sony on their first high graphic (( at the time )) system fell through when sony pulled away and began production on the 1st Playstation. Nintendo had plans for a CD drive gaming system but went with Carts because it was quicker to produce for them to compete (( not very well though )) with Sony.

    No other controller had a Jet Fighter game where you could use a cheat and fly as the actual controller. Yes it required 3 hands to use on some games but the controller stuck out visually apart from everything else out on the market. Thats what made the system so unique.

    You take that back, Ranim! The N64 controller is and always will be the best controller ever made.

    You are forgetting the Atari Jaguar's controller, the N64s controller was interesting to get used to but with the games that were on that system, it was the best decision.

    I miss the SNES games! Thats what I grew up with and I also miss the awesome music that the SNES games had. From Mega Man X to Battletoads. Either way....I just hope Nintendo gets some decent games to back up the Wii U since right now it only has a handful!
