Awesome! That's concept art for Firelink Shrine. Need this so bad...

I asked Chessa for this for Christmas, but she wound up getting me some other (awesome) stuff. But damn, I think I need to buy this for myself. I've got some smaller art books from the game, as well as the soundtrack, but they're no substitute for this beauty.

From a thread perspective, people can make those at will, but in terms of general forums. Like Gaming Discussion (with company-specific sub-forums), Non-Gaming Discussion, maybe a Mafia forum, maybe a Deals Forum. Those are more the things I'm talking about. I'm (hoping) sure we'll see a huge variety of threads about all sorts of topics once everyone gets in there.

We'll have to lure you in there somehow...

I'm sure I could get one added for that. That does bring up a good point though - what forums/subforums does everyone want? Probably pose that question in a new blog soon...

Forums? 

Glad to hear you're excited!

It's definitely no Pilotwings 64, that's for sure. I can totally understand losing interest in it - it was a pretty bland game. I believe Monster Games did it and if you know the name, they actually did Excitebots, which is literally brimming with character. Kind of sad, because I get the impression that Nintendo forced them into making it on Wuhu Island with the Miis, which was really a step back for the series.

If Nintendo does revisit the series again, I hope they do something more in the vein of P64, which is definitely the pinnacle of the series.

The 3DS sequel definitely didn't have the same charm. I did enjoy the game though. From a purely mechnical standpoint, it was pretty good and the free roam mode was pretty good (though ultimately limited). I eventually found and collected everything, but I'm also something of a Pilotwings junkie, and of course, there was nothing on the 3DS at the time, so that helped.

Incredible, this blog couldn't be more spot on.
