But if it's all Zelda II-tastic, I may have to pick the game up. So sad that Nintendo never re-visited that style.

Adventure Time game will take a page out of Zelda II
From Nintendo Power #280, the same issue that revealed Mighty Switch Force HD for Wii U, comes some juicy information regarding WayForward's other upcoming game, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage? As you may recall, the DS / 3DS title is a joint effort between WayForward and Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward, who penned an original story about Finn and Jake's trash being stolen by the Ice King so that he can construct a Garbage Princess. The Nintendo Power article gives us our first taste of in-game screens, which sport the same level of high-quality sprite work that WayForward is famous for. The gameplay will be similar to that of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link -- during top-down view areas, there will be exploration and questing, and during side view areas, there will be combat and platforming. I felt that Shantae shared a lot in common with Zelda II as well, so I trust WayForward to knock this latest title out of the park with just as much ease.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)It's good to hear Zelda II getting more respect these days, but it's still the most underrated game in the series. I wish Nintendo would remake the first two games for 3DS or something (as well as Metroid II). It would most likely make the games less confusing (as it often wasn't clear what your next objective was, especially in the first game). Love me some adventure of link! This sounds like it's going to be great! I wonder what exclusive features the 3DS version will have, though. Yes! I'm looking forward to this. I hope it sells well and we somehow get that sandbox Land of Ooo game we secretly want. Jake in Finn's backpack just reminds me of Banjo-Kazooie... OMG HOW AMAZING WOULD AN ADVENTURE TIME LIKE BK BE!? After this game releases could we get an Adventure Time game resembling the Mario & Luigi RPGs? Imagine the possibilities. They're a duo, too, which would make it perfect. Oh neato! The show never grabbed me all that much despite loving the original pilot so very much.
But if it's all Zelda II-tastic, I may have to pick the game up. So sad that Nintendo never re-visited that style. I anticipate that this will be the first of many quality Adventure Time games. I actually think that the brand may have more legs as a game series than a TV series. 9:00 PM on 05.24.2013 Sonic Lost World has more unwanted company"Sonic's Sh*tty Friends" ought to be an official club name by now.
