I have 9 questions this time, so enjoy! Questions and timestamps: (00:22) – Which Zelda game do you think has the [...]

Satoru Iwata will be holding his speech at 9am PST (12pm EST, 5pm GMT). Be sure to follow it over at Nintendo’s GDC page. The Game Developers Conference is an annual event where exciting stuff go down, though obviously not in the same magnitude as E3. Nonetheless, you shouldn’t frown and turn away; Spirit Tracks, [...]

GDC (Game Developers Conference) is already upon us and will continue until March 4th. Tomorrow marks the Nintendo keynote speech by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. The speech starts at 12pm EST/9am PST tomorrow morning and will be available live here at Nintendo’s official website. We should expect some more news involving Zelda Skyward Sword and [...]

And, sorry, it's not actually streaming "here" - it is, however, streaming here, so check it out live if you can. If you can't, of course, as I said before for the 3DS event - don't go skipping school or anything just to catch it. We don't even know if there's going to be any important news, and besides, we're going to be tallying all the info as well as any trailers, screenshots, boxart, etc. here (yes, actually "here" this time) anyway....

It's amazing how far Metroid: Other M has fallen. Okay, not that amazing, since the series has been consistently underperforming since its debut in 1986. While it started out with poor reviews and poor sales, the game recently hit a new low: it's now selling for the extremely-low price of £9.99 at GameStation in the UK. How can one of last year's highest-profile Nintendo releases have already essentially made its way into the bargain bins? See inside....

This week our featured fanart is “Secrets of the Deep” by deviantART artist Firedblue. Click for full view. You may look at this preview and think it a quaint but simple little painting, but it is called Secrets of the Deep for a reason. There is a definite charm to the simplicity and the serenity [...]

A while back I announced our weekly Hidden Triforce contest winners. As I said then, Simply Adorable, from our Zelda Forums won the first place prize and for doing so she got to pick out a Nintendo DS game of her choice. She chose Kingdom Hearts Re:Cod...

25 years, 17 games, three Triforces, one princess, one evil king, one hero, one legacy. Over the past few days I've talked about how Skyward Sword's aim to get "back to basics" by three main avenues: creating a world with all kinds of things to explore, offering the player ample freedom to discover its secrets, and incorporating the tools to make the adventure feel like a genuine quest. In the end, though, the true core of Zelda is the symphony of all of these elements in one cohesive experience. Now, as I wrap up the "Back to Basics" mini-series, it's time to take a look at the moments in the series' history that really epitomize that feeling of being a hero in the world of Hyrule....

With all the momentum behind Nintendo's first-party releases leading up to the 3DS, it's a bit surprising to see that there seems to be nothing to see for April according to Nintendo Japan's official release calendar. Nintendo previously promised that there would be no shortages of software for the 3DS, leading us to believe that they've got to be waiting to announce something at GDC later this week. And since we doubt it's a completely new game announcement......
