Nintendo at E3 2009 - Image 1Oohhh-kay. That went relatively well, wouldn't you say? Nintendo's E3 2009 presentation wasn't just all about smiles this time around. They did try to be harder-hitting, and we gotta give them props for that. Overall, it was... alright. About one or two items only that got us kinda raising our voices a decibel higher in excitement.

Zelda, Twilight Princess gets T!


If Nintendo is anything to go by, kids will not be allowed to play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

According to Bill Trinen, the game's localization head in the US, there's a lot more at stake this time around, since you're supposed to be seeing Link come to age, from boyhood to manhood, rather than see him as a kid. He tells Game Informer magazine,

With Twilight Princess, the depth of story and its connections to past games means not only does it have twice the text as Wind Waker, but it includes a fair number of legacy terms that originate in past games, so consistency is a big focus there.


We've also been given the opportunity to provide a lot of input on everything from play control to character design, so over time our role has grown from simply localizing the Zelda games to almost being a branch of the development team itself...you may see scenes and situations in the game that wouldn't have fit in a game like Wind Waker.


What does it mean when we get a Teen rating for a game that's usually aimed at kids? Well, you only give Teen ratings to games with violence, gambling, low-level sexual innuendo and infrequent swearing, or a combination thereof.

Maybe it'll mean that Link will have a quick speech on an airship that's been overrun with gyorgs, and finally say those wonderful words of wisdom right before the climactic battle against the Gyorg,

"I'm sick and tired of these Moblin-effin Gyorgs on this Moblin-effin plane!"  Boo-Yah!
