Game & Watch: The Legend Of Zelda – Predicted With Potential

It looks like a new wave of Game & Watch systems is becoming a thing of the early 2020s. During the celebration of the Super Mario franchise’s 35^th anniversary, it was announced that a special Game & Watch game would be a portable adaption of the first-ever Super Mario Bros. game from 1985 and its firstly Japanese-exclusive sequel that also comes with a digital clock and a version of Ball that featured Mario and Luigi’s faces [8] [17] [18]. During the celebration of the 21^st anniversary of The Sims, I suspected that there can be a highly similar adaption of the first game in The Legend of Zelda from 1986 in association with the franchise’s 35^th anniversary [21] [22]. And what do you know? The second modern adaption of the Game & Watch series has been produced in honour of The Legend of Zelda’s 35^th anniversary [13]. I cannot believe my own prediction of a new Game & Watch port of the very first Legend of Zelda game and a little more is about to become a reality! Furthermore, I shall take a specific sword as I express my thoughts on the forthcoming handheld while the second Paris Tour is being held in Mario Kart Tour [5] [12].

As I have firstly noticed, the black box that has a Triforce on its left side could either be part of the outcome’s packaging or somewhere safe to keep the device in. [13]

The design of the forthcoming port is unmistakably pleasing. It is highly similar to the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. [17], except with a green frame instead of a red one, which suits how Link’s signature colour is green [13]. The choice to stick to how Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. was designed seems to follow a specific theme of practically producing ports of classic Nintendo Entertainment System games that can be played enjoyably with a D-pad and two red buttons as the handheld systems they are stored in closely resemble NES controllers for the sake of old school vibes. With the D-pad placed at the bottom left corner and the “A”, “B”, “Select” and “Start” buttons at the bottom right corner, the player would feel as if he or she is holding an NES controller [8], but with their eyes on the screen in the middle and perhaps a little more comfort with the newly added “Select” and “Start” buttons above the two red action buttons. The overall outcome of playing the game on the system should hopefully be even better than playing a Game Boy Advance game on a Game Boy Micro [14].

The “select” and “start” buttons are completely absent on the device’s Super Mario Bros. counterpart [17]. I believe that the additions are to make it increase the percentage of "old school" from the original ports of The Legend of Zelda and Link’s Adventures for the NES. At least Link will not have to jump and press the circle button. [13]

What does Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda feature, aside from the first game in the series? Well, there is also a port of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link [13], just like how Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels was included in Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., even for Nintendo nerds who reside in the West [17]. There will also be the Game Boy version of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening [13]. The murky palette of some shades of green adds to the nostalgia factor and matches the green frame of the device. Can you believe that there will be a Link-themed version of Vermin? Please do not let any sims in The Sims 2 find out [1]! Of course, that will be the second time Vermin got a remake as there was a remake for DSiWare that was released between 2009 and 2010 [13] [19]. I just wonder how some Nintendo nerds will compare the Link-themed remake of Vermin to the Super Game Boy and Game Boy Colours adaptions that both starred a Yoshi [19]. Lastly, there is a digital clock that has the same functionality as the digital clock in Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. [17], further enhancing the system’s credibility.

Well, excuuuuuuuuse me, vermin [24]! [13]

Let us expand on what is available on the upcoming Game & Watch system before I receive that last piece of the Triforce. Surely, Zelda II received some mixed reception, but I guess the difficulty that caused it to be considered a “black sheep” is the device’s answer to the intense difficulty in Super Mario Bros. 2 included in its Mario counterpart [15] [18]. In addition to how there is a playtime clock that combines a digital clock with the gameplay aspects of The Legend of Zelda, there is also an interactive timer centred around Link’s Adventure, which is two bonus time-related features for the price of one [13]. I am impressed that the next rehash of Nintendo gaming from the 1980s in line has to offer as it appears to be just like the outcome of the grand return of the Game & Watch franchise in honour of Mario’s 35^th anniversary with a few step-ups [16] [17], leading to the possibility of the new wave continuing with rehashes of other classic Nintendo games. Do you think there will be a Game & Watch: Metroid with a blue frame featuring Samus Aran as the playable character in quite a quirky adaption of Helmet [16]?

Arguably, some of us would prefer the Game Boy Colour version of Link’s Awakening to be featured for the sake of a more varied and vibrant colour palette during the gameplay [11]. Nevertheless, the original version is still a nice extra. [13]

I am more than delighted at how I was able to predict the Legend Of Zelda counterpart of Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros [13], much like how I was ecstatic to hear that I have successfully predicted the concept of a Tomb Raider anime being brought into action back in January [22] [24]. Aside from how manifique Luigi looks as an artist in the second Paris tour of Mario Kart Tour [4] [12], what else do we Nintendo nerds have to look forward to? The sequel to Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild is on its way to expanding on Link’s legacy in 2022 [7]. In quite a stylish new set of armour, Samus deserves a brand new chapter in the main Metroid franchise, Metroid Dread in honour of female empowerment in gaming [6]. Could you master the microgames in WarioWare: Get It Together [10]? Hopefully, a brand new interpretation of Peach’s Birthday Cake will not be a lie in Mario Party Superstars [3] [5]. The Legend of Zelda: Game & Watch will be released this November as a nostalgic conclusion of the franchise’s 35^th anniversary [12]. Too bad it is highly likely that it will only be sold for a limited time from November 2021 to March 2022 [17], but I guess that still makes it extra special.

Selling the next new Game & Watch for a limited time only can add to its collector’s value. I hope my fellow Nintendo nerds continue to have a blast celebrating the 35th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda franchise, including the HD remake of Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Switch next month [9].

The Playdate Awaits - Is The Crank To Thank?

It has been two years since the remarkable revealing of the Playdate from Panic [34] [35]. I recall being bewildered at its rather unique design and discussing what can enhance its appeal even further several months after its release. The COVID-19 pandemic may have caused delays within the Playdate’s production and preparation for marketing, but the determination to bring it into action was still there [20]. Somewhat similarly in terms of such willpower, a gaming website that got hacked and had to be taken down can always be re-established under a new name with stronger security standards [5]. Come to think of it, the Playdate’s bold shade of yellow reminds me of Bumblebee from the Transformers franchise [3]. Aside from that, much more about the handheld gaming system has been revealed over a week ago [20]. It looks like there are many great gaming-related things to experience this year, such as the outcome of Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart for the PlayStation 5 and another round of golf with Mario in Mario Golf: Super Rush [17] [27] [28]. Aside from new instalments of beloved gaming franchises, there is plenty of room for something completely new throughout the rest of the year and that is the one and only Playdate [20] [24].

As much as I praised the Playdate’s originality and how it is practically pocket-sized back in Spring 2019, I strongly believe there ought to be a left-handed edition for left-handed gamers [34] [35] [36]. [26]

What else can I say about the overall design of the Playdate? I like how the crank can also be bent outwards as it makes it more advanced than a crank on a Jack-In-The-Box toy [22]. I like how there is an “A” button and “B” button on the right side of the control panel below the screen, but I think a certain amount of us might prefer them to be the other way round [39]. As for the back of the device, we can see its production details at the bottom right corner. Do you think that once it becomes available as a left-handed edition or in any other colour besides yellow [34] [35], the production nickname for the second colour will be “Playdate PDU-02” [24]? Because I most certainly do since it would be a wise financial decision to only produce a console in some other colours and editions if the very first design sells rather successfully. Perhaps for consumers who might prefer the design to be a little bigger, there can be a second model that has an appropriately increased size named “Playdate XL” in the next generation. You know, like how the second design of the Nintendo DSi was called the “Nintendo DSi XL” since it was bigger than the first design [18] [30].

It is highly likely that the control panel of the Playdate will be easy to operate with and get used to, but I think it could have been a little more suitable to swap the “A” and “B” buttons around as the letter A always comes before the letter B, right? And also the Xbox One controller [39]. But I digress as I have recently beaten the final boss in Super Mario 64 for the second time in my entire life [19] [37]. [24]

Aside from Crankin’s Time Travel Adventures [21] [34] [35], the list of monochrome games in a large variety of premises and genres to play on the Playdate throughout about twelve weeks include:

•        Casual Birder [20] [24]
•        Boogie Loops [20] [24]
•        Whitewater Wipeout [20] [24]
•        Snak [20] [24]
•        Spellcorked [20] [24]
•        Saturday Edition [20] [24]
•        Pick Pack Pup [20] [24]

Some other forthcoming titles that has been revealed could be part of Season Two, including:

•        Mars After Midnight [20]
•        Noble Robot [20]
•        Direct Drive [20]

It is unmistakable how a lot of development teams have been willing to help enhance the legacy of such a uniquely designed gaming system. There will be a total of twenty-four games within a “first” season [21] [24], leading to some curiosity on what the second season of games would be like about a few months after the device’s official release, including the outcome of Mars After Midnight [20]. Call me crazy, but I am up for a Playdate game based on either Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss for older gamers during the run of Season Two [9] [10] [11] [12]. Oh. And whatever you do, gaming industry. Do NOT develop a port of the DS version of Sonic Colours for the Playdate…unless the next model will feature games in full colour as the “Playdate Colour” in the future [29] [38].

The idea of discovering two new games per week on the Playdate is quite engaging [20]. Do not forget to stay connected to the internet [22]! I still wonder if there could be an adaption of Tamagotchi for the system [31] [34] [35]. [24]

Oh, hello! What is this? A rehash of Mario Paint [7]? [20]

Any other forthcoming software to further increase ambition and appeal for a wide range of players out there? Well, ideally for an accessory that will be explained later, there is an application named “Poolsuite FM” that allows the player to listen to music from the Playdate [20]. There also appears to see an app that basically features a colourless clock encased in 1-bit graphics, which would be a reliable alternative to looking at a watch to check the time [24], similar to the Mario Clock and Animal Crossing Clock apps for the Nintendo DSi [15] [16]. Would you believe that there is a gaming development program that can be accessed online named “Playdate Pulp” that can inspire fellow gamers to wish to become game designers by allowing them to create their own games for their Playdates [21] [23]? It is interesting enough that another app on the Playdate will allow its screen to be shared on a computer or laptop [25]. I would be interested in trying Playdate Pulp out if I ever choose to do a postgraduate degree in computer games design. From casual software users to aspiring video game developers, the Playdate seems to be prepared to appeal to a wide range of people with different ambitions with specific types of associations.

Imagine being the host of a radio station for a Playdate connected with Bluetooth. There is something charming about monochrome music videos playing on a small gaming device. [20]

And imagine making your very own Playdate game with enough skill in Playdate Pulp [21]. [20]

The Playdate Stereo Dock is a square-shaped recharging station with a few quirks that make it unique [20] [22] [24]. Aside from how groovy the stereo dock is, the battery life of the Playdate would last about as consistently as a Nintendo DS’ battery life, especially when two players take their Playdates with them on a gaming date [22] [24]. Surely, there would be some indication of the device in need of barging, like how a reminder to change the battery in a Pixel Chix house would pop up on its screen [32]. The Playdate can be magnetically stuck onto the face of its stereo dock [20], which coated in the same shade of yellow, making it more stylised. It is compatible with Bluetooth, which will increase the Playdate’s overall sound quality. At the top, there are two holes for a pen to be inserted into [22]. The pen that comes with the stereo dock also consists of the same shade of yellow and looks quite like a stylus. Although, I highly doubt that the Playdate’s screen is a touchscreen. Furthermore, I do not know what the point of the pen being included is unless it is just a souvenir. Could there be other colours for the dock and pen eventually?

Strangely enough, the Playdate attached to the Playdate Stereo Dock looks quite like a television set you will see in the 1980s. Not only that, but the dock’s compatibility with Bluetooth will allow music to be played as if it was a traditional radio set. [24]

Similar to how my white iPad Air has a celestially designed cover to protect its screen from dust, there is a cover for the Playdate to keep it spick and span [24]. The perimeter of its flaps is consistently just about the same as the perimeter of the device. Hopefully, the cover should be easy to attach and detach from the device. The Playdate Cover ought to be eventually available in some other colours as some of us would prefer some other colour combinations over yellow and purple. For example, an ocean blue Playdate sandwiched in a frosted white cover would bring out some chilling winter vibes. I also think some covers can consist of a symbol associated with a charity, such as a red ribbon in association with World AIDS Day [13], which would be quite like how there was a Nintendo DS Lite designed in association with breast cancer awareness released in late 2008 [33]. Not only will an eventual variety of different colours for the Playdate’s model appeal to players with different tastes but some alternative colours besides purple for a protective cover can further enhance said appeal by providing a custom colour combination.

Quite a yummy electronic sandwich indeed. Wait! No! Do not eat it!! [24]

The Playdate will be available to be pre-ordered next month, leading to its official release date being marked at some point in the second half of 2021 [20] [24]. I am beginning to imagine what would happen if the Nintendo 64DD never turned out to be a commercial failure [14], such as the release of a sequel to Conker’s Bad Fur Day [4]. But more proactively, I do not doubt we curious gamers will find out what the overall gameplay experience with the first season will be like while fans of the Jurassic Park franchise will build their own Jurassic paradises in Jurassic World Evolution 2 [8]. I still strongly believe that there can be a left-handed edition with the crank placed on the left side of the device to potentially increase the comfort for left-handed players [34] [35]. Could successful sales lead to a bigger model named “Playdate XL” or a Playdate Colour that shows Playdate games in colour at some point between the mid and late 2020s? Will we be thankful for the crankful? Surely, the Playdate can provide even more ambition weeks after its release date, as long as it sells successfully. Keep gaming, gamers!

And now that jingle is stuck back in my head. Now it’s my turn [34] [35]! [20] [22]

Recharge it on the stereo deck
It seems worth quite a long wait
There'll be a clock shown in monochrome
Look! It's the Playdate [2]! [22]
