It would be the ideal version if it played on a TV.

Definitely agree on that! That's the one thing that makes me still prefer the SNES version. Sometimes I find myself wishing the DS had an out to TV for the upper screen. It wouldn't quite work for all games but would be useful for enough to make it a worthwhile purchase for me.

Well with the Wii's pointer they could even put the touch screen on a TV, it would just have to have some black bars on the sides.

Damn, this game is sold out everywhere around me. Oh well, I guess I won't be taking advantage of the B2G1 this time.

Yeah, well, I bought it at release for $40 and haven't even opened it yet .

I gotta stop doing that (even though, yeah, it was in cheapo GS credit - but still I could have it for half the amount of cheapo GS credit now).

ordered this from newegg yesterday around noon. received today with standard shipping here in Ohio. newegg rules.

For somebody with only a mild interest in RPG's and a huge fan of Zelda games, should I go ahead and buy this? I've heard for years how great it is, but not sure if I would like it. And does the DS version have any new features that make it better or more enjoyable than the SNES version?

Bought CT used last week for $18.90 from GS with all the coupons and Edge. It was a 1st run copy with the poster and everything.

Really? That's amazing. Is there a label of some sort to indicate inclusion of the poster?

I already had a copy. But I went ahead and picked up the last copy at my local Best Buy. I'll probably pass it off to my friend or my brother as a birthday present. The Buy2Get1 free deal convinced me to go ahead and drop another $20. Picked it up with Henry Hatsworth, and Clubhouse Games. (both of which I had yet to acquire) Very satisfied picking up those three games for $40.

Not if you're expecting it to be much like Zelda. That said, its still absolutely worth playing, it's a classic. As for new features, people were mixed on the touch screen controls. I liked them, but they're optional anyway. The extra dungeons are kind of meh, and you'll probably skip the monster raising. The core experience remains amazing.

It was sheer luck finding a used copy with the case and manual, as well as the poster. What made it doubly hard was that I was trying to get TWEWY with a case and manual and most store had CT, but not TWEWY, or the latter didn't have the manual.

The ones with the poster have a black round sticker on the case that says something like "Limited Edition Poster Inside (1st Run)".

Hoping to pick this up today at TRU with the 15% coupon. Their website still says 29.99 though....

Well scratch that. Best Buy was sold out (so no B2G1) and our TRU is temporarily closed for some reason (so no 15% off coupon). Guess I'll just have to buy it by itself. Just hate to miss out on all these deals lol
