Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time on Wii VC

Nintendo released the “Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time” for the Wii’s Virtual Console today for 1000 points ($10).  This game is listed as being one of the, if not THE, best game ever made by many people in the gaming community in all fields.  If you have never played this game, or just want to replay such a wonderful game again, feel free to purchase this for you Wii, you won’t be dissapointed.  The only thing I wonder about is if the rumble feature will work in the game using at least the Gamecube controller.  The reason for this was there was an item in the original that was shaped like the rumble pack for the Nintendo 64, and allowed you to find secrets based on it’s rumbles as you ran around.  I will find out and post more about it when I can.

Original Post – (10-24-06)

Ok, I’ve been slacking. I admit it. I’ve been so busy at work, with my family, and just enjoying the many games I play and love that I slipped on updating the site. Hopefully this will stop. At a MINIMUM, I am going to try and update the site at least once a week from here on out. Probably on Sun because I have the most time that day. But enough about me being a lazy gamer…on to the news so far. Read more
