A new commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is hitting the United Kingdom, showing off a little bit of new footage as well as the GAME-exclusive limited edition set. It also features a man who is far too old and grandiose to be as excited for Spirit Tracks as he's pretending to sound.
I'm quasi-looking forward to Spirit Tracks. On the one hand, I do love a good Zelda game. On the other, I hate games that try to make the stylus do everything because they just don't work properly. I still hold out hope that Nintendo has relegated at least some control to the D-Pad and face buttons, but it's a weak hope at best.

I personally thought the control in Phantom Hourglass was perfect, but the dungeons and puzzles were a little lacking. If they re-released Minish Cap with the Phantom Hourglass controls I would consider that portable gaming Nirvana
All I want is a bit more depth than Phantom Hourglass offered. I always felt that there wasn't enough to do in PH and that the ending came too quickly.
Sorry Jim, normally I like your articles, but this time I have to disagree with you, because PH has one of the best controls in the DS, and that's the opinion of a DS-phad user
And I'll make one more to jump on the train of people who found Phantom Hourglass controls to be perfect. Two years ago when I played the game on my chunky old DS I found absolutely no problems with it at all.
Id agree with Zcdrike that the dungeons seemed a bit light though, compared to other titles. If Spirit Tracks alleviates this gripe it'll be my dream handheld game!
