<BLOCKQUOTE>The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - GC

Once billed as the direct sequel to Wind Waker, Nintendo revealed the second GameCube Zelda title to be more along the lines of Ocarina of Time. A mature link and never-before-seen visuals in a Zelda game will guarantee for a truly sensational action adventure experience. Link is even able to shapeshift into a wolf in certain parts! Teaming up with a sinister elf-like fellow, Link-Wolf can be ridden and boasts some powerful attacks. Animal companions include of course a horse (used for transportation and in battles) and a falcon-like bird that can rest on Link's arm. Exploring some still un-revealed dungeons, the camera pans back and shoots the action from a top-down angle, but when the character encounters an enemy, the camera seamlessly sweeps in again to check out the battle from the normal behind-the-back perspective. We can't wait to embark on this promising new journey into Hyrule!

Super Mario Strikers - GC

Goal! Mario, Luigi, Toad and the rest of the characters from the Mushroom Kingdom enter a new playing field with Super Mario Strikers. This arcade-style soccer game will feature powerful shots, all viewed through the eyes of dynamically set camera angles. First, select a captain for your team who will muster your forces, and who keeps a special shot up his sleeves to try and blast the ball past the goalie. Mario for example is able to leap high into the air, strike the ball with a mallet, and put the opposing goalkeeper at a serious disadvantage (and in clear and present danger too!).

Characters other than your chosen captain aren't left out though, they have the ability to charge their shots to be super effective. Furthermore, the game will present head-over-heels celebration dances. On the road to becoming a party favourite due to its straightforward controls, this title seems perfect for a multiplayer frenzy, four buddies wide. Nintendo certainly strives to let his most famous icons have a go at every kind of sport out there, and Super Mario Strikers looks to be a fun and challenging addition for sure.</BLOCKQUOTE>
