Yep a double post because I'm a cool.

Anyway today you can see some small new footage of Zelda Spirit Tracks

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1KRBGUPF

It was shown today on Channel 4 at 6pm, so I went to Channel 4+1 to record it.


Check out tomorrow for more updates as I am going to try out the game at Southampton.

It's Channel 4 but 1 hour later.
So lets say you missed The Simpsons on Channel 4 at 6pm, you can get a 2nd chance by watching it on Channel 4+1 at 7pm.

If they'll ever make another DS game that has that style, I'm going to sue Nintendo.

Unfortunately Spirit Tracks wasn't at the Nintendo House tour today, but I did get to play New Super Mario Bros Wii.

I also got to see some DS games actually connected to a seperate screen, it had a thick cable and by the end it had 2 seperate cables, 1 red and 1 white. They were connected by the middle of the DSi unit (near by the DS card Slot).

Edit:

Official Nintendo Magazine UK is going to answer some questions by posting comments to the blog update.

http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=13029

My questions were:

Does Link get dizzy at all for performing too many spin attacks or rolling?

Is there an temple you have to return to once in a while like The Temple of the Ocean King on Phantom Hourglass.

Does the game contains any Guays (Raven birds)?

Interesting. where did this black cable come from on the DS? also, was this a DS lite or a DSi?

Maybe someday we could construct one :D

Re: Spirit Tracks release date and boxart

It was on some kind of kiosk thingy. The seperate screen is probably one of these "pointless to steal tvs" as I doubt it would beable to connect to a DVD recorder etc. So I didn't really get to see the cables on the back of the seperate screen.

It was connected to a DSi but the setup looks so minimal it can be done on any DS model.

Even more interesting...

The only reason I asked about the DS model was because of the DSi's new security features...

Wether or not this is possible on a in-home basis is yet to come, as I've only (now) heard of/seen 3 types of DS recording styles (other than camera + DS)

Gametrailers TV will show more of ST later tonight at 12:30 EST.

New info from GameTrailers

Zelda *dies* and becomes a spirit and she controls the phantom.  The big tower we've seen in the background it the tower of spirits where you control the phantom (zelda) to collect tablets.  The new trailer should be up on youtube within a few minutes.

Looks like you get a sword from the train conductor according to the 4th screen shot.
On the screen shot that has the new villain uses the same sky background when facing Bellum. The Trailer seems to improve the "grapple" mechanics as you can grab the hooktounge from anywhere now.

Edit:
More screenshots revealed! From ONM:

http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=13053

* The new enemy seems to have a cunning behaviour like Vatti (Minish Cap) if you look at one the screenshots that has him wearing 2 hats to cover his pointy ears.
* Zelda is playable too according to one of screenshots.
* There will be other Phantoms other than your ally known for months now.
* Remember the old trailers that the Phantom just goes through the flames, on the latest trailer it can now block the flames for Link to go through but it is scared of rats. Ally Phantom seems to be immume to spikes too.


Edit 2:

www.spirittracks.co.uk (the UK version of the official site should work for .com too).

It reveals the story abit and some of the new characters. The villian is likely Chancellor Cole (get the hint Cole and Coal)_ Most of the gameplay requires teamwork lets hope it's not as bad as the last 2 temples on Wind Waker.

Lays down the story a whole lot more. that Iron phantom you control is actually princess Zelda :D

This somewhat reminds me of FullMetal Alchemist

So far I'm pretty sure this will be better than PH.  Hopefully it can go higher up than just better than PH but I'm not quite sure yet.  If the evil train isn't ganon then thats some bonus points.

Contains a Youtube video taken from the Japanese Spirit Tracks site, all of the clips combined into 3 minutes.

If you want to know the spoiler content (characters, how the early game looks like go and see the video).

Not so major spoilers here:
Link has a new voice set, probably to avoid confusion with WW/PH Link.
1 Background Music returns from Phantom Hourglass which is the caves theme.
The dungeon has a new background music.
An engine update is that pure dark rooms are added.

I think I'm gonna stay away from any more info on ST.  I already feel like I know too much.

Cosmo get the spoiler tags up!

In about 5 days my friend who works at EB games gets his shipment of Spirit Tracks in. I'll go over hopefully that day, and dump the rom from the cart on the display DS. nobody is ever in there, so he doesn't mind opening up the display ds to get the game out...

I'LL EDIT THIS POST WHEN I GET A PROPER ROM DUMP

Re: Spirit Tracks pre-release discussion

Going to eb games today. my friend gave be the backdoor key :D

If I don't edit the post above by today, it's probably because I am having epic struggles dumping the rom from the cart... or it has anti-piracy measures.

EDIT: If you weren't in the IRC when I got home a couple days ago, I'll retell my story here.

I went to my friend's eb games on nov 25th. he gave me a key to the backdoor. I go to the back door to open it, and on the door it says on a scrap of paper: "Chris is a twat" so I tried unlocking the door. natrully the key didn't work. my friend fucked me over, but I'll get a proper dump ASAP.

Link has sounded awful since he first got a voice to begin with. And the baby voice came from Wind Waker.

I have ordered the game at least, don't expect anything at all from it. I might get disappointed because it was even worse than I thought however. Hopefully there will be one more to the DS that is actually awesome.
