Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

I hope they don't base anything on it because it would just break two minutes later.

Best game in the series by a wide margin

I think that was an item durability joke, Sean.

I personally think that is Wind Waker but I agree it's a wonderfully beautiful game. I hate the item durability. Zelda has so much potential for attractions/locations.

My weapons last way longer than that. Sounds like you're doing it wrong

Not a single weapon broke during my Lynel fight unless you count the Master Sword getting to the point where it needed a recharge

I love me some Wind Waker. Would probably put that one 3rd behind Ocarina

If there's a big difference between sales of Zelda and the new Mario game (probably won't be, but Zelda was crazy popular), I wonder if the plans for the land change at all?

It's way too late for changes to be made to that level. Besides, Mario always sells better than Zelda.

The Zelda series always sells well, but it's definitely a tier below Mario and Pokemon in terms of both sales and popularity. While it's popular with gamers, I think they'd need to be careful making an attraction so that it can appeal to Nintendo fans and people who may have never played a Zelda game. That's why I think it needs to be a LC replacement - it'd fill the same niche for people who've never even heard of the series, but it'd give video game fans a HUGE draw to go to IOA and the attractions would be big upgrades from the junk we have now.

Also, if a Zelda expansion doesn't have a ride with a massive, terrifying Guardian animatronic that follows around the ride vehicle (similar to that dinosaur that chases after you in Dinosaur at DAK), than what's the point?

I think it has a better shot at being in Park 3, but we'll see.

Way too quiet here.

 

[GadgetGuru]

Anybody else surprised how quiet Nintendo has gotten? It seemed like this was going to be their next big project. But now, DC seems to have taken that title? A ton of momentum seems to have stopped.

Normal eb and flow of a project. Chill y'all.

The quiet before the storm, Shhhhhh.

But I want it now!!

Do you think we'll hear anything about it before Kidzone goes down (whenever that is)?

It's easier to find out what new projects are in Universal's sights than it is to figure when they'll make official announcements.

Not sure where to put this because I'm not sure what these are for (besides the new parade building) but it looks like a bunch of new trailers have popped in the backlot this year:

after:


I can only think of Nintendo as a project big enough to warrant this many trailers.

note how many trailers volcano bay needed:

 

[JungleSkip]

All those trailers on the MIB site were there during HHN last year. A lot of stuff coming down the pipe. All hands on deck.
