So the Nintendo World event is going on right now in Japan and of course there is a lot of new details coming out about many of the upcoming 3DS titles. What better way to start off that coverage than with details about Ocarina of Time 3DS? What's different? How do the controls work? What about freely looking around? All that and more is detailed after the jump.
The 3DS eShop is now offering 3D movie trailer downloads, and the first trailer available is for non other than The Green Lantern. The 3DS is supposedly getting netflix at some point later this year, so being able to actually watch trailers in 3D is big news for those hoping to eventually watching movies in 3D on their 3DS. While netflix is not likely to launch on the platform with streaming 3D movies, it is something they have cooking for the future. I do hope a system like vudu eventually ends up on the system as well. That way you can rent any movie and have it instantly be streaming on the device. Some of this is wishful thinking, but in the end it is true that the 3DS now has downloadable 3D trailers. So... go have some wild fun folks....
I don't want to speculate how much practice time he put in to nail down this tune, but clearly it took awhile to get it down so well. Why would a fellow nerd go through so much trouble? I think it's obvious: To get chicks. After all, as Brentalfloss taught us, Tetris is for Chicks. Sure we love to show you songs played on actual Ocarinas, but hey what beats the original Ocarina of Time? ...
Apparently Nintendo's a bit surprised by the overwhelming success of the limited edition re-release of Super Mario All-Stars for Wii this past holiday season, as they're now thinking of giving the popular port another go in the future. While it's unclear whether this means another limited holiday run or an unlimited forever edition, if you wanted to pick this one up but had some trouble finding a copy you may yet be in luck. "We are gratified by the consumer response to this limited-edition product, which we created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game on NES," Nintendo public relations director Marc Franklin told Wired.com via email on Friday. "Because of the strong response, we are exploring the option of bringing this item back at a later date." Hopefully Nintendo will decide to include Super Mario World next time - even though I've already got the whole set on Virtual Console, I know the draw of having all the classic Mario titles in one package is pretty intense. Etiher way, congrats are in order. Mario, dear boy, you've done it again! Source: Wired Gamelife...
There’s a saying that “You can’t please everyone.” Yet this is often the challenge game designers face in the process of creating a game: to release a game that appeals to a wide variety of players, from young to old, from new gamers to veterans. When it came time to begin designing Ocarina of Time, [...]
Not a lot to say here, except that the renditions of the Skyworld and Underworld, while not particularly groundbreaking in the artistic department, look positively great. I'm not really sure whether these are promotional images or pure game stills because of the commentary from Palutena, who's looking rather expressive for a goddess of light. Does she speak through text boxes like that in-game in addition to the vocal work we heard in the debut trailer? The appearance of new screens does suggest one thing, however: the game's probably nearing the late stages of development. Perhaps we'll see Kid Icarus as a 3DS launch title after all? I know Sakurai's been aiming for as much. We'll probably find out later this month. Source: Nintendo Everything...
