That's right--Eiji Aonuma considers Phantom Hourglass to be along the lines of an unintentional remake of the Famicom/NES The Legend of Zelda. This should be music to some people's ears, meaning we'll perhaps be seeing some branched out work from him. Aonuma certainly has expressed interest in creating his own game. And who wouldn't want to see that?


Heads up - Due to a region block, most people in Canada, England and Japan (and possibly other regions) will not be able to view the video.

Wow... Just wow... The gods have spoken, well one of them.

He didn't say "unintentional remake," he said "updated version." Big difference.

I liked the part where the video didn't work for me.

"VIDEO NO ACCESSIBLE" :(

yaaaay

Stupid MTV has an "America Only" policy or something stupid like that, so unless you have an American IP address (so I've been told) you won't be able to view the video.

Sorry.

I now have even more of a reason to hate MTV. I'll wait until this gets spilled over onto youtube.

@Kturbo:
Amen, amen to that.

I just love hearing the big guys talk about Zelda, it always makes me feel so excited. AND I'M GOING INSANE WAITING FOR PHANTOM HOURGLASS!!! Just 5 days and all will be well, just 5 days.
And I would absolutely love it if Aonuma remade LoZ into a Wind Waker style game play. That would be cool.

Just in time for fall break ^______^ I'm really looking forward to this game.

This just gets me even mre exted authis bing released. Every time I see a new interview or trailer I have to say to myself how many days to go. Currently 4 days to go, soon to be three:).

Well that was a very fun interview, and I have to say I enjoyed watching it! Eiji is just so cool, and is like the next Shigeru Miyamoto! I liked the end of the video where he mentions his personality has grown with the Zelda series!

Plus after watching the game footage from that video; I'd have to say that I so can't wait to play the game myself! It looks very fun that it's all controlled with the stylus. I know only 4-3 days left now! But lucky me, I pre-ordered the game from Wal-mart.com and I'm gonna get the special DS skin! :D

no, no, no, I haven't got an american IP address and it still works for me (I'm living in Luxembourg, europe) there was a time when the site thewhitehouse.com was blocked for every computer accessing from outside of the US, and I could still visit it...

to the video: very cool interview, I WANT TO PLAY THAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!! 19th...

YES!!!!!!^_^ *floats away on a cloud*

I live in the Netherlands o_o and I saw it! Im glad its an updated version of the nes. I hope that old school feeling come back again , lately I´ve been missing that with the newer Zelda games.

Strangely, I'm in Australia and its fine for me.

Ouch, Mr. Aonuma's going a bit grey, methinks.

What an awesome interview! The best part is when it wouldn't work. :P

@Chozoboy:

What he said was "I feel it is an updated version of the original Zelda, but it wasn't intentional" so stop nitpicking.

What he said is literally the same as saying unintentional remake. Stop trying to find something to nag about in an attempt to look clever.

He does not sound to sure about what game they are making, (What the hell; we just made majoras mask 2?) jp
