Has anyone seen anything for this title yet? I'm not a fan at all of handhelds, but my love for Zelda is going to make me seriously consider buying a DS just for this game!

There's a trailer that you can get to from there in addition to the description.

They're actually going to be rendering it using cell-shading, the same as Wind Waker. They're also going to actually have parts of the game in full 3D, and he looks just as good as in the GC game! :eek:

They look to do some very kewl stuff w/ the stylus - they show a spot where they draw the path of the Boomerang w/ teh stylus and then it goes flying! That's awesome!

I gotta say, for a guy that has all but given up on consoles, and definitely given up on handhelds...i'm likin' the look of this!

Between this, the 2-D Mario, and the DS Lite, I admit I am very tempted.

Because it's been 5+ years since I've seen enough good console games to warrant it. I didn't enjoy many from the N64 era, and I've enjoyed even less during the GC era. Almost every game for the PS2 and X-box that I've thought looked interesting are available for PC as well, so there's no reason to buy into that. Frankly, Zelda is about the only game left that I give a crap about from the console sector. I've hated both of the mario/luigi titles for the GC, and while the Mario sports games are all fun, they lose their appeal within the realm of 1-2 rentals. The value is just gone, in my opinion.

As for handhelds, it's just hard for me to justify spending the money on a game that's a whopping 2 inches big, even including Zelda. I'd rather spend more money on the PC or (if I was to get one) console games.

and frankly, I don't see why not liking console games makes me a pessimist.
