Mario Kart 7

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Which one deserves to win GOTY? Tell us in the comments.

Mario Kart 7

To be honest, I've never been a huge Mario Kart fan. Sure, I've enjoyed it every time I've played it, but I only own Mario Kart DS. So far, my favourite one it Mario Kart Wii. I liked the graphics a lot and had a lot more fun than with the DS. With Mario Kart 7 for 3DS, I am actually pretty interested . For one, there are a few new features. You can glide at certain points, transforming part of your kart into a hang glider and you can go underwater. As always, there are 16 new tracks and 16 old ones, totalling at 32. The roster however, is a bit smaller than Mario Kart Wii going from about 25 to 17. But the biggest differences to this game are the options to customize the Karts and the ability to drive in 1st person. This a wealth of new features, all of which make the game more tempting. However, the reasons for me not being a huge fan of Mario Kart do pop up whenever I reach for my wallet. I don't know why, but I dislike the feature to be able to give any character any Kart after completing enough of the game. It just eliminates a section of choice. For instance, I liked the start of Mario Kart DS when I was deciding which character to use, but as the game progressed, I could put whoever I wanted in whichever Kart. That just made the game a little dull for me. But Mario Kart 7 has another claim to it which makes me consider. People are saying it's got the best online multiplayer of ANY Nintendo game. Now, if you are a nintendo fan, you will have had to grimace at the generally poor online functions of their consoles. So, what do you think of Mario Kart 7?

Links between Ocarina and Skyward sword

So I beat ganondorf in ocarina yesterday. Woot. while playing, i noticed something. Sheiks harp. then i went to see the skyward sword trailer. Zelda in skyward sword has a harp. THE SAME HARP AS SHEIKS!!!!!!! mere coincidence? I think not.

see? the harps are exactly the same.

Navi vs Midna - Who is the more annoying?

This was bound to happen. Ever since Ocarina of time, Zelda games have had a "helper" character (or at least the 3d ones do) that tells you what you should need to do. for instance, Midna in Twilight Princess and the infamous navi from Ocarina of time. These two chractersBoth play significant roles in their respective games, but one must ask...
Who is the more annoying?

Navi is infamous for her well known catch phrase "Hey! Listen!" Fans of ocarina have suffered many sleepless nights because they cannot get navi's continuous shouts at link out of their heads. Most of the time, navi is used to lock onto enemies. Other than that, she is usless.
OR IS SHE???
when playing ocarina the other day, navi's usual "hey!" came up. However, instead of telling me usless info that i already know, She told me where i needed to go. if i hadn't already known where i was to go, this information would have been incredibly valuable.

midna is by far the more interesting character. Her personality throughout the game goes from being rather controlling to being more kind. Midna does not help you nlock on, but does help you to cross large gaps in wolf form, and to quicktravel around hyrule. This makes traveling much easier.
HOWEVER, Midna tells you where you need to go only once. WHEN YOUR NOT PAYING ATTENTION. For a helper character, she isnt that helpful. the manual that comes with twilight princess says to ask midna for help. I did. all i got was "Link, Hurry! we have to save Zelda!"
tell me something i dont know.

So to sum up
Navi-far more talkative but with useful information
Midna- Cooler than navi... but when it comes to guidance she falls short. (not a joke about her being an imp)

Top 5 Zelda Boss themes- Number 1

At number 1- Malladus beast- Spirit tracks

Maybe im biased towards spirit tracks than any other zelda game. Sure, they are all great, but, especially between the 2 ds zelda games, spirit tracks was that little bit better.

Top 5 Zelda Boss themes- Number 2

At number 2- Dark beast Ganon. The final boss from ocarina of time. How, you may ask, is this only number 2? well, you will see...

Top 5 Zelda Boss themes- Number 3

At number three, i have Blizzeta's battle theme from TP.

dont argue. its awesome.
