Thought we were alone in wanting Zelda U? This was a poll result from GameSpot before the event, the second-most visited video game site in the world.

By now I am sure all of you know about my incorrect prediction that Zelda U would be shown off this past Saturday during VGX. If you didn’t, know that I firmly believed VGX made sense as an overall platform to unveil Zelda U. It had the right audience in my mind to try and bring non-Nintendo gamers back in the fold, and Zelda is one franchise Nintendo has that seems to have fans outside of the Nintendo faithful. I was wrong, and Nintendo went the safe route in showing off Cranky Kong as a playable character in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Now that the show has come and gone, I understand why Nintendo chose to show what they did. Furthermore, my reaction since Saturday may be a bit surprising: I’ve done a complete 180 and now fully believe Nintendo did the right thing in not showing off Zelda U.

Now that Majora’s Mask has been mentioned three times this year, right before VGX two IGN editors have taken a few minutes to discuss whether a Majora’s Mask remake is going to come in the near future. Obviously there’s support from Nintendo’s core fanbase, however there’s much more to consider when making a remake, so nobody’s entirely sure. Hit the jump to watch!

Game announcements are certainly exciting. It’s the first step to getting our hands on a new experience, adventure, or thrill. Zelda games certainly aren’t exempt from this excitement, so Spike TV’s Video Game Awards on Saturday bring some promise for the Nintendo community. We’ll ultimately have to wait and see what’s in store, but hit the jump to see what’s being teased for tomorrow!
