Zelda Classic for DS

[blackice_cc]

I think it would be really neat if nintendo made a game card for the DS that had the first 4 zelda games in their original form. Maybe that's only because I haven't played a few of the old classic ones, but what's your opinion on this?

[Twili123prince]

Thats a very nice idea the game would be very fun.And i haven't really played any of the first games but if those games came out on ds i could play them.

[Chrono]

Tha would completely ruin the gameplay of those games.

[blackice_cc]

Why? It wouldn't be touch screen controls because yes, that would ruin the gameplay of it. All the bottom screen would do is show the map.

[Chrono]

Either way, why would they do that? The games already been re-released on the GBA and the VC, aside from LA.

[blackice_cc]

For one it a lot more convenient for DS owners because they wouldn't have to buy 3 different GBA games. Another thing is that there's no way so far to play LA on DS.

[Chrono]

Who ever said there was? and wouldn't it be 4 different GBA games? lol

[blackice_cc]

No it wouldn't be 4 different GBA games because there's no GBA version of LA. And I was saying that "another thing is that there's no way to play LA on DS" because that would be another reason to make something like a Zelda Classic game card. There would be no point in a game card for DS that just had LA on it because there would be a ton of extra room for more games.

[Matthew_79]

Ok, no they should not re release the original 4 on ds.
how many remakes do we need. most people who have a ds have some previes gameboy also unless they traded it in... I lol at them

LA can run on any gameboy.

[Chrono]

You really need to read slowly and correctly.

"The games already been re-released on the GBA and the VC, aside from LA." Never said LA was on the DS. And it would be 4 if LA was released, but since it was already re-released on the GBC, there was no need for it in the GBA. And if "NDS 2" has the same game formats, then it could work. But why release something on a system that will be out of date soon.

[blackice_cc]

Well I for one don't believe that the DS will be out of date soon. I don't think nintendo will release a new hand-held system for a little while yet. I guess I just think it would be cool because I haven't played AoL or ALttP, and I haven't played LA in ages.

[Chrono]

You have never play ALttP? Its only the greatest Zelda ever created. And the NDS2 will come sooner than you think.

[blackice_cc]

No, I've never played ALttP, but hopefully that will change soon. And how do you know that NDS2 will come out soon?

[Matthew_79]

Black, do you have a ANY gb? you can play LA

I wouldent say the ds2 will be released anytime soon, why would nintendo kill something that is still selling like hot-cakes.
they wouldent, same reason why they dont come out with WII2 otherwise known as Wii HD

[Chrono]

I got my sources...

[blackice_cc]

Yeah, I have a GBA, but I'd rather not purchase LA or LA DX just on it's own. I agree with you on that last bit as well.

[Chrono]

If you wont purchase it on its own then you're not worthy of playing it.

[Inflexus]

They allready remade the first 2 for GBA, then there's Links Awakening DX... all the 8 bits are available to be played on the GBA unless I'm mistaken.

[Mases]

The original two titles, Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link... have been released so many times already. I don't think they are needed on the DS. They've been available on the NES, Gamecube (Collectors Edition), Gameboy Advanced (Classic NES Series), Nintendo Wii (Virtual Console)... I mean, how many times are they going to milk the same games???

I think it would be cool to see a port containing Link's Awakening and the Oracle Series. For some reason I don't think the Oracle series got as much attention as they deserved when they were released. Besides, they can do the password/connectivity system so much easier with Nintendo Wi-Fi.

Eventually, I think Nintendo will release a full box-set of sorts, similar to what DVD's have done. Including all the major titles on a 5-6 disk set in one bundle for say $150 or something. I think that seems to be inevitable for video games. We've seen it done for the Classic Mega Man titles, but I think we'll see it for many other series, including 3d titles...eventually.

[blackice_cc]

A port with LA, OoA and OoS would be cool, but that would mess up the password thing since no one would need to trade passwords because you would have the other game on the same card.

[Petman1325]

Unless they made a change to the games where they can use the built in Wireless rather then link cables. It doesn't sound like a bad idea, yet it kinda does at the same time when you have the game.

[Mastersworddude]

I don't think a DS game card could hold 4 Games.

[El Bagu]

I see no problems with "re" releases (as long as the staff do not put too much effort on it and not fucus on completely new games)

[No_Comment]

If you wont purchase it on its own then you're not worthy of playing it.

OMG! How can you be worthy to play a game??? Take it easy.

[Josh]

>_<

Depends on what we're talking about for classics. Just LoZ and AoL, or games like Ocarina of Time included. Because I was quite happy when I did see those fake images of Ocarina of Time for DS, I thought it would be a good idea, see how they could make it work. Of course they would probably have to change some things about it, but still an interesting thought.

Also believe that they would have to change something. And also would find it most interesting, would be really nice!!

[elementskater995]

yea and if they put on unlockables...lots and lots of unlockables...like play as gannon....:clap:

[Petman1325]

A DS cartridge can hold a max of 256 MB. The games range from 2 MB to 32 MB. Do the math (plus the emulators that are about 15 MB)

[Marusu]

Here's a better idea for a handheld and cartridge that can hold more adequate space: Re-release a tweaked version of BS Zelda/Stone Tablets and Super Mario All-Stars: SMB/Lost Levels with great online features and even greater modes. There should be a time limit when wirelessly connected (special monthly events) to beating these games, much like Sattelview.

This would have basic features like replay, unlockable artwork, battle mode extras and add-ons for when you complete the game (add-ons, like darknuts instead of octoroks or spineys instead of koopas troopas)

Pretty good ideas. Yet, you only had eight hours, and the voice actings were live. Sounds good, yet keep it Zelda. Not that I have anything wrong with Mario...:cry:

[zeldafan999]

it would be a good idea as long as they dont add in a dumb stylist control

[Amelie]

I really like this idea! I would buy it if it did happen ^^ I wont have to carry TLOZ and AOL around for GBA anymore. Great idea!

[basement24]

I hope they make the older GameBoy titles available for download on the DSi's new shop system. It hasn't been said that they'd have their own Virtual Console yet, but I assume they'll head in that direction.

[Claire]

Now, now... why on Earth would they be willing to update the classics to be played on the DS, if they aren't going to update the controls to go along with the system? That's like selling A Link to the Past especially for the Wii, but being unable to use the controls that come along especially for the Wii - pointless! To even consider updating the classics to play on a DS system, I would find it pointless to refuse to modify the settings and controls to be able to use the stylus.

To see the classics in a modern perspective, I believe, would be very entertaining. This could increase the difficulty with puzzle solving, and make it a totally different game. I would love to see it, but I'm more concerned with an entirely new release than remakes.

[General Lee]

I don't think to would be a good idea, as other people have mentioned, AoL/LoZ have been ported so many times, and it just would'nt really be worth it. I mean like 4 different times is enough. Now if you ask me, they should do sorta a "Collectors Edition" sorta thing, but with the classic Game Boy Zeldas. Or atleast, the main game I and other people are seeming to want would be LA, so maybe they should port it onto the DS? I don't know about other people but I think that would be a good idea.

[Megamannt125]

Who else thinks there should be a new collector's edition for the DS?
It would include:
Link's Awakening DX
Oracle of Ages
Oracle of Seasons
The original Four Swords but you don't need 4 people to play
Demo of Spirit Tracks

[Shnappy]

I've always wanted there to be a DS Collector's Edition. One thing that's missing from the list is ALttP, the GBA version. It wasn't on the first collectors edition but it was one of the best and most successful Zelda games and would fit well on 2n'd edition of the Collector's Edition. But to answer the big question, yes, a 2n'd Collector's Edition would be awesome.

Oh I forgot about that.
I mostly want one because I never got a chance to play the gb games as a kid because I wasn't into Zelda, and now I want to own every Zelda game.
I could use an emulator, but i'd feel alot better if I legally owned the games.

[ShellShocker]

That's a good list! I'd get it if it came out! :)
I've never played ALttP, so that'd be very good. :)
(I haven't played the Oracles either)

I am pretty sure it is illegal to use an emulator if you don't own the game. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Exactly. Which is why I said i'd feel better if I legally owned the game (by buying it) than using an Emulator.

[El Bagu]

I love the idea, makes me wish you worked at nintendo! I own all of the games already but I never had the opportunity to play Four Swords, I believe it would be great as a single mode game :) I would also want to be able to play Link´s Awakening DeluXe with great and bright colours. That would be possible with that perfect collection I assume :clap:

[General Lee]

I think that would be a good idea, but I think it would be better with the normal LA instead of the DX version, and still keep OoA/OoS, and as Shnappy said, the GBA Alttp. On other threads ive seen people posting things similar too this, and lots of them said they wanted to play LA. Or maybe they should make a LA/LA DX thing seperate? So many different ideas...but that would be cool to have a collectors edition on the DS, but would a DS game card hold that many games?

[zeldatwilight]

I would really enjoy that. I am a modern day gamer, so i dont have a gameboy color or gameboy, so i would really enjoy having the chance to play the orcales and links awakening sometime in my life. I think it would be a great idea, knowing that the ds is a pretty popular system. I dont think it will ever happen, but that would be a big step in my gaming experience.

[Chris]

I think that would be a very bad idea. I hate playing Zelda games on the DS and this would be no exception. If they would make one with OoA, OoS, ALTTP, WW and a demo of Twilight Princess, that would be way better. If they brought this one out on the GC or Wii, that would make it perfect. Another idea would be: ALTTP, MC, WW, TP and a demo of Spirit Tracks.

Both of these would be much better and more fun to play on the gamecube.

[basement24]

I don't think they'd ever bring GameBoy games to the consoles because of their small sized graphics. Especially with the advent of widescreen TVs. I remember the SNES GameBoy player cartridge was a nifty idea, but a lot of games didn't look like much blown up big-time.

It would still be a great idea though, I'd really welcome another Collector's Edition! Maybe they should make one with the CDi games... :P

sounds like a good idea if you ask me :), but the games listed i dont have, but if i do get the new collectors edition for ds (if it IS real)

How could you hate having Zelda on the go?
Plus, if they did a collector's edition 2 with gameboy games it'd never be on a console. Ever. And WW and TP are far too new.

[MrMosley]

If they brought it out for DS, it would only consist of older GB and GBC games, and perhaps ALttP for GBA. There's no way Nintendo would bring out something like a demo of TP or WW on DS only for a Collector's Edition. You wouldn't even see OoT or MM on a Collector's Edition for the DS. I also don't believe they would ever bring out a version of FS with just single player. The whole basis of the game was to use multiplayer. Although it would be nice to actually be able to play the game w/out multiplayer, it would take away from its original intention. What they could do is just port the game and have the wireless connection pick up other players. And what would be especially better is if they could make it pick up players without the game cartridge, but it would probably be too much content to send to the other DS.

Link's Awakening DX, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, and Minish Cap would be the idea DS Collector's Edition, or at least the most likely one. If they could fit it in, ALttP GBA would make it even better and also likely, especially where the new DSi doesn't support GBA compatibility, but there might be an issue there with the amount of space they could fit on one cartridge.

Speaking of the DSi, since it is supposed to have downloadable content, chances are that content is going to be older GB, GBC, and GBA games. So in my opinion, they will be releasing all of these games on that service instead of one big Collector's Edition cartidge.

[Zenox]

I would love that Idea! I just hope that they don't alter them to apply for the DS. Playing AoL and having to swipe up to jump would be terrible.

Oh! It would also be cool if they had extra features exclusive to the DS version! If I am correct, I believe either LA or one of the Oracle games had a GBA exclusive shop, if you played on that instead of the GBC.

[DCMN]

I'd certainly buy it (LA, OoS, OoA). Especially if it had Four Swords, the DS Download Play would make it so much easier to find players.

[LinkAlmighty]

I really like this idea, I've only played a few of the old games so it would be nice to have a chance to play them. I also think the DS could pull this off easily & do a good job of it.
