Zelda? Possible Viral Marketing for New Zelda Game? Hey guys:
Looks like there's a new countdown on the interwebs. Not to much to say here, pretty self explanatory.

Now, obviously Zelda isn't the only thing to use triangles, but we can dream, right?
Unless it's just Doritos...

LOL! What?!? That would be a first. An ARG that sues you if you play.

Well, not really
乞うご期待
does mean in Japanese "invite/ask for your expectations".
Since there is no context, it's a little bit difficult to understand, what do they mean. Perhaps "We request your expectations" (whatever).

OK, here comes my "human" translation (even if in crappy english):
謎の時計がマーベラスエンターテイメント公式サイトに登場! 新しいゲームが、新たな時を刻む…
Riddles clock appears on the official site of Marvelous entertainment. New game, new time will pass.

Assuming (and hoping) that this is for a Zelda game, with the way the clock's working, going all the way to the end, freezing and reversing, I'd say we have Majora's Mask-esque gameplay on our hands.
Also the hand moves from three triforce pieces, to two, to one, like the days in MM.

It's very Un-Nintendo to do this. Especially with their new direction. I'll be surprised if this turns out to be Zelda. Delta Tool game maybe...
It would be nice if it were Zelda, but that announcement is expected in June. Prove me wrong Marvelous.

Maybe they are taking a darker role for the next game? IDK. Though I suppose it could actually be something else either Zelda related on non-related. Maybe not even a game.
