Zelda in Pop Culture
Posted On 20 Nov 2010 By admin
I can't even begin to tell you how crazily riled up I got when I first saw that clip while watching a favorite show on Cartoon Network, The Powerpuff Girls, back in the good ol' days. The Mayor's disdain for that "darrrn fairy" also warmed my heart. Zelda has made quite an impact on our culture, there's no denying that. Zelda: The Adventure of Link was mentioned in the 1989 film The Wizard, starring Fred Savage. Heck, even Robin Williams named his daughter "Zelda" after our favorite video game princess. Let's see what other references we can find....

Posted On 19 Nov 2010 By admin
Nintendo has launched the official website of Donkey Kong Country: Returns, with a bunch of wallpapers and new videos! While now new information has been shown, the bunch of new media is very much worth a visit. Aside from that, people in the states and Canada can pre-order the game from the official retailers for $49.99 (Gamestop).

Nintendo and Microsoft fight… Square-Enix style.
Posted On 19 Nov 2010 By admin
It's not every day that you can see Nintendo characters (and, for some reason, Megaman X) fight a giant X-Box 360 with a demonic Bill Gates on its side. The fight is a representation of the Console War going on between Microsoft and Nintendo, and mimicking the boss battle against the "Demon Wall" in the SNES's Final Fantasy IV (also known as FInal Fantasy II, as it was originally released outside of Japan). The Nintendo team could have fared better, but in the end, it seems the X-Box's greatest enemy is its own hardware. Source: Dorkly...
