Great profile pic, Gustav; Majora’s Mask, if I’m not mistaken ;)

If there’s a Kinokuniya in your area, that’s a good place to start for Japanese manga. Doesn’t look like there’s any in Europe at all, though, much less Denmark…

Shounen Jump manga tends to use furigana, though, even if it is occasionally too puny to read. Though again, the furigana is sometimes used to indicate a different reading to the kanji they’re written above, as a sort of double-meaning thing. For example, Negi’s spells in Negima are written in kanji with katakana-ised Latin as furigana. Still, like missingno, I reckon buy it anyway. I even managed to find a copy of the magazine itself at my local Kinokuniya. (On that note, I’m still astonished that the three-hundred-odd page Shounen Jump costs roughly the same as a thirty page American comic book, and even comes out weekly instead of monthly.)

Anyway, for other suggestions, if you’re still weak on kanji, your best bet is probably to aim for manga aimed at young children. I found a manga called Ryushika Ryushika written by Yoshitoshi “Haibane Renmei” ABe – the main character is a small child who only speaks in kana. Also, Yotsubato. As well as that, I picked up one or two volumes of manga that I already had the English translation for, so that I could read them side-by-side.

Not that I’ve actually gotten around to reading any of this. Tsk…

Oh, I was actually thinking it was from a different picture (below). Just getting a little mixed-up there :P Same game though.

And I agree: Majora’s Mask and Wind Waker are my favourite Zelda games too :D All the other games are near enough as awesome, but those two stand out just *slightly* from the rest ;)

…sorry for not contributing anything to the original point of the thread and going on a tangent XD

I know what you mean about Wind Waker HD – the lower resolution graphics have more charm to them. The original seems more colourful too while the HD seems a bit washed out. Will be interesting to see better gameplay videos nearer the time but I doubt it’ll look much better than the original.

I’ve only played the original versions of Monkey Island 1 + 2, been meaning to get the special edition. The upgrade from original to HD for those games looks a lot better than for Wind Waker :P Still really fond of the original graphical style but the upgrade looks pretty well done; the voice acting too would be good. I don’t think they need to re-do 3 at all, it’s perfect as it is, not really much to improve :D The art style is just so gorgeous and timeless, even after 16 years it looks stunning to me :P I’ve also played 4 and the first chapter or two of 5, which I’ve kinda left by the wayside for a while now haha (not cause it was bad or anything, I just sorta forgot about it).

And yes, Koichi is a fan – back when he used to come to the forum regularly, he made the “three-headed monkey” joke directly towards me :D That was pretty awesome.
