Well put. I think I can speak for John and myself in saying we were both relatively underwhelmed by Zelda based on the Nintendo conference. Having played it for a whopping 10 minutes running around in a hub area, I can say it really doesn't feel like much new. They should realize that people aren't playing games for…

@Miotheso Haha. Ironically, as I was waiting in line to try the 3DS, my mind kept flashing on abandoned 3DS displays at Target stores months and months from now, and anyone who wants to being able to just waltz on up and try it.

Just throwing it out there.
This is about the last guy I'd imagine name-dropping Tool.
