Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Finally on Wii Virtual Console!!

I’ve waited years. But finally, I will be able to play LoZ: Majora’s Mask. It was released in 2000, as a sequel to LoZ:Ocarina of Time (My favorite game of all time, by the way). It finished 3rd in the infamous “Most Wanted On VC” Nintendo Power Poll (Boy, I have no idea what number 1 is...) Now, six weeks after it’s realease on the European VC. Anyways, it was released as a celebratory 300th VC game. (And by the way, I am NOT complaining about this being released 6 weeks after the EU VC release. Don’t go all “Well we got Brawl months later” on me.)

Anyways, the basic plot outline is that Link is riding his horse, Epona, through mysterious woods, looking for (almost definitely) Navi, his guide in OoT, when he’s assaulted by the Skull Kid (who was Link’s friend at one point), wearing an odd mask. The Skull Kid steals the Ocarina of Time and flees from Link on Epona. Link chases the Skull Kid into Termina, a bit of a parallel world to Hyrule, where the Skull Kid has caused many things to go wrong, most notably causing the moon to crash down in 3 days, forcing Link to have to awaken 4 giants to stop it.
It just got it this morning, and haven’t gotten very far yet. I’ll post a review once I get at least halfway through.

But that’s not the only reason I’m happy. Nintendo recently announced a trilogy of the Metroid Prime games. The first two, originally released on the Gamecube, will have updated motion sensing controls. But that’s not even the best part. The game is only 49.99, the price of a normal Wii game.

Well, that’s all. I’ll post a review of MM soon!
