Andrew Molloy, writer for A2Central.com (with which Gamebits is loosely affiliated), recently had the good fortune of visiting Chicago during the opening of the Game On exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry, and took these exclusive pictures while there.

I remember celebrating May 5, 2000, at Sega World in Sydney, Australia. Some of the classic games Andy had the fortune of spying were present Down Under as well; it was one of the best Cinco de Mayo I've ever had.

I reserved a copy of the new Zelda game (listed with some retailers as "Wind Waker 2"), but no official reservation SKU yet exists for the "super premium" edition mentioned at GameSpot.

And while they may not be video games yet, check out the cast list for the new Superman movie, and the online-exclusive trailer for the new Hitchhiker's Guide film.

Beware the ides of March!

GameSpot.com is reporting that the next Legend of Zelda game will be available for the Nintendo GameCube in the fourth quarter of 2005. Their website also has a new trailer for said game. If you don't want to stream it, then you can sign up for a free GameSpot account and download the .MPG file from this URL.

The series' new sense of realism in this entry makes the game look like a cross between Lord of the Rings and Metal Gear Solid. It's strange that, this is what the fans have always wanted – but now, having seen it, I wonder if it's what's best… The original Zelda game was, for all its mystery, a rather colorful and well-lit world populated with odd monsters. But everything about this new game seems threatening.
