    If Disney were smart (and confident that the core game was good), they'd bung in some of their newly owned LucasArts IP as well. I'd probably invest if there was a little Ben Throttle or Manny Calavera statue!

    Yeah, it all depends on the branding

    I think if Disney can get the marketing and PR right and sell this as a Disney-branded marriage of Skylanders and Minecraft, it'll fly of the shelves. But given their recent record of marketing and PR for games, that's a big IF!

Which is your favourite Zelda game?
— Brett, 21st January

The obvious choice is Ocarina of Time, but a lot of Zelda purists prefer Majora's Mask, the art style of Wind Waker and Skyward Sword or the charm of the old top-down versions. Which do you like best?

The Legend of Zelda, The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    To be totally honest Twilight Princess because of the graphics, gameplay, you get a way of transportation at the start, and the wolf link

    Y'know. I never played OoT when it first came out. My two best friends at the time were into it completely, and even Majora's Mask back in the day, but I never had them or played them despite having an N64. It wasn't until the Wii came out and Nintendo released OoT for the VCon did I actually play it. I have to say, even though I didn't get to experience it in its golden years, the game was amazing and is my favorite Zelda game to date. Skyward, while fun, I hated the meaningless scavenger hunt quests that were there to only to lengthen the game. Otherwise, I enjoyed the gameplay and story.

    I really couldn't get into skyward sword. I had it since last year and till now have yet to finish it. I will sometime but the initial experience fell short of my expectations. OoT, on the other hand, caught me by surprise and being one of the first 3D games, it really set the bar for me.

    No wonder WiiU is not doing as great in UK. They still have a bunch of American release dates to get.

    I do like the Crysis games although they could probably do with a bit of a revamp!

Launch price and release date?

Mid to late November seems to be the most popular prediction and somewhere around the $250 for the base model - is this reasonable? Will you be getting one this year?

    I think they will focus more on what they've already announced + reveal the price of the Wii U. New games possibly for TGS?

    Personally I'd love to see a new Smash Bros, I can imagine there will be some pretty innovative uses of the Wii U GamePad for that. A new Mario Galaxy would be cool too...
