How can stores like that screw people all the time???!!! If one
preorders a game he/she should be guaranteed the game on the day that it

Uhh, yeah, sorry about that Fentie. As for you Eddy, I read just fine,
thank you very much. I just had not made my way down to his next message.
I don't wait until I have read every message in my box (which if sometimes
50+) before responding to one.

I downloaded Quicktime 3 and watched two of the Zelda movies at IGN64's site.
Let me tell you, they were awsome, but they didn't give away anything. I
would suggest looking at some. Helped me wet my mouth a little.

I don't want to make a big personal thing out of all of this, but I think it
would decrease on the number of extraneous posts on the list if people would
read all the messages before replying to one. I do it, why can't you? Also,
his next message was the VERY NEXT ONE sent, so I think you might have been

Subject: [N64] The wait is over
I was recently reading the article by Dexter Sy (great article) at
www.nintendojo.com about the wait we have gone through for Zelda 64 and
I am finally beginning to wonder what happens to the Zelda series after
this. Will there be a Zelda 128 or something like that? The Nintendo
team has made this game such an awesome one that they will not want the
next to be anything less, but so much more. Nintendo has entered itself
in a endless loop of fine gaming. After we get our copies November 23
and we all sit down and play it over and over and over until exaustion,
we will probably think more of Nintendo and the series. Now, the big N
is a smart company and understands what's going on and they will
evedently try to 'top' their last game, making it better in all areas:
sound, graphics, length, satisfaction, play control etc. When will it
stop? (I certainly dont want it to)... but if the games keep getting
better it is a logical assumption that they will take longer to
complete, right? If it takes as long as it did for Zelda 64 to come out
as the next game in the series, I'm going to be really OLD! But I
suppose that for some unknown reason, if there is a limited amount of
games, there will be more demand, more nostalgia, and the game will be
promoted more so than ever. What do you guys think? (sorry for the
long post).

Why not? Because lot's of us only check our mail every few days, and by then

What the heck does this have to do with Nintendo in any way??
<rant mode on>
Anyways, I have some feelinsgs about the list as of late. It seems this
has turned into a GET ZELDA list. I am looking forward to the game, but
there have been too many messages with no decent informational value.
What about other games? HAs anyone beaten Space Station Silicon Valley?
This is a great game that we have NOW. Yep. Who cares if you think we
should write spoiler in a certain way, or if you think we should title our
messages a certain way. Most of you act so worried about this list
ruining your "zelda" experience. Why dont you quit the list until you
beat the game.

Are you asking what Zelda has to do with Nintendo? Because if you are,
it is related to Nintendo the same way that microsoft is related to
computers... If you are talking about what to write on the list has to
do with Nintendo, there is plenty of reasons; the main one being that we
dont want our NINTENDO gaming experience ruined by certain NINTENDO
spoilers and NINTENDO information.

You have to remember that most of us have been waiting for the N64 version
of Zelda for a couple of years now. I can understand the huge flow of
posts about Zelda...people are just getting excited about it.
As for Silicon Valley, I guess it is ok. But lets face it, it really does
not a mass appeal.

Sorry John, but that is dumb. Why can't the rest of us just say that you
quit the list until all the Zelda hype dies down.

Actually Zelda is to Nintendo as Microsoft is to Windows. Not computers. I
never heard of Microsoft making computers...
