My copy is coming today, but sadly, I can't open it until Christmas.

So those of you who have it, play away... and help each other along the way!

I just got my copy yesterday. I was able to make it through the first temple and had to turn it off for the night. So far, it plays exactly like PH. I think all other games are going to be put on hold now that I've started it.

Mine is in the mail. Kant weight!

I just realized I never played Phantom Hourglass so I'm currently playing that (just got to The Ghost Ship) and I'm hinting around that I'd like to get this for Christmas, so if I don't feel like taking a Zelda break after PH, I'll probably be on board (GET IT?) in a couple of weeks.

Picking mine up today. WOOOOT!!!

Edit: Picked it up and will play tonight. Double WOOOOT!!!

I honestly cannot remember if I played Phantom Hourglass.

Just looked on Wiki and yes I beat it.

Michael Corvin

Yeah, I've bought way too much the past few weeks so I relegated this one to the Christmas list.

Phantom Hourglass was probably my favorite Zelda since OOT.

Will you check Wiki if I beat it? Thanks!

Groucho

Wikipedia has a full list of who beat it? Why?

I'm hoping this one's better than Phantom Hourglass. I absolutely hated the 'replay this temple a billion times and go a little further each time' mechanic in that one.

clappj

Exactly what made me give up on PH.

Noonan

This one does have a temple that's similar. There doesn't seem to be any time limits like PH though. I'm not far enough to know for sure how it's going to play out.

You weren't listed, but it did say you beat Night Trap over 86 times. Odd.

Especially the last decade or so!

That may seem weird, but I remember when she died a few days after the massive tornado that tore up my hometown, Moore, OK

Wow, looking at her Wiki page to confirm all of that, I see that they mention Danny Cooksey whom I met a few times at church when he was in town visiting family Not since his big break in T2, though. This was more Mac & Me-era Cooksey.

Looks like it will be $25 next week at Target:

Dear Nintendo,

I like the D-Pad.

Thanks!

PixyJunket

Dear Very Important Message Board Person,

There are 13 Zelda games that use it.

We know you'd just complain about something else anyway if it did use it.

Move on.

Michael Corvin

Dear Very Important Indy Gamer,

There are all types of gamers and not everyone shares your opinion.

We know you'll complain about what the majority think anyway just to be different.

Move on.

This again? Very progressive.

Goldberg74

Oh well... I got it got $24 from Amazon ($34.49 - $0.50 adjusted - $10.00 NSMBWii Credit = $23.99).

And it came today... but alas, it's going under the tree.

PixyJunket

I'm actually LOVING Phantom Hourglass right now, so I'm pretty excited about this new one. It's probably the most tightly paced Zelda game I've played in some time and the controls are incredibly excellent. If Spirit Tracks evokes the same feeling for me then I'll jump into the hype train for the next Wii Zelda.. since they gave the internet fanboys their Ocarina of Time remake with Twilight Princess, I'm stoked to see them try to do something a little more wacky with the next console release.

Noonan

From what I've played so far, if you're liking PH, there's no reason you won't like ST as well. It plays the same and it jumps you right into the story. I'm hoping to make it through the 2nd temple tonight.
