The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Opening Cinematic

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask opening cinematic

I remember playing this game and finishing every little side quest. The last one I completed was the couple's mask quest that took all three days to complete and if the messed up or missed a part at any point during those three days, you had to start all over again at the beginning of the first day. Worst part was at the end of the three day where you had to go through the puzzle rooms. I always messed up there and it sucked having to go back to the first day again.

I have such an urge now to buy all the old Zelda games on the virtual console. I could buy Zelda 1 and 2 in cartridge form from my NES but the rest will have to be VC downloads.

Square Enix Announces New Titles for Nintendo Virtual Console and Wii Ware

Square Enix announced today two new downloadable Wii Ware titles from the Final Fantasy franchise as well as a new virtual console release. Final Fantasy IV: The After Years and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord will be available as Wii Ware titles, while the orignal NES version of Final Fantasy I will be available as a Virtual console download as well.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years follows Ceodore, the son of Cecil and Rosa from Final Fantasy IV and features a cast of characters that FFIV fans will be familiar with. This game was originally released as a mobile download in Japan.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord puts players in the shoes of the Darklord's daughter, a malevolent little Miss, charged with dispatching intruding do-gooders by strategically placing traps and monsters around the tower she calls home.

All three of these titles are planned to be released sometimes in 2009.

Secret of Mana Virtual Console Game Play Footage




DO WANT!!!!

I am one cartridge and a Super Nintendo or a Virtual Console release in North America away from safely playing Secret of Mana again.

Nintendo, hurry up and release this game in North America already. Either that or Square Enix made a re-make of this game. eBayers are already selling this game for $40 or more, so why shouldn't your company jump in and sell a Nintendo DS remake for the same amount.

Games that Need a Remake or Re-Release: Secret of Mana

While everyone can squeal and jump for joy as Square Enix continues to make over or re-release every damn Final Fantasy game known to man, this little fangirl is still completely lost without her favorite Square Enix game still sitting at the bottom of their importance pile.

Secret of Mana was an action role-playing game released on the Super Nintendo on October 3, 1993 in North America, but in Japan it was released as Seiken Densetsu 2 on August 6, 1993.

The game featured three characters, a young boy named Randi, a young girl named Purim and a young sprite named Popoie, who all join together to help reforge the legendary Mana Sword, defeat the empire that wants to control the mana seeds and ultimately restore the Mana Fortress that once tried to destroy the world.

There is a glimmer of hope though ...

While I thought I was doomed to either download the game through a ROM or finally cracked and buy a Super Nintendo to play the game again, I found out that this September Japan is getting Secret of Mana on the Virtual Console which means that we might be getting the game in North America soon.

OH KALOU KALAY!

I still would love to see Square Enix make a version for the Nintendo DS either as a re-release or as 3D remake, but a virtual console release would be friggn' awesome too.
