The piece you see to the left is the work of Chalkmaster David Johnston. He created a life-sized chalk replication of the well known piece of Ocarina of Time official artwork. The project got the recognition of Nintendo of Canada and they went out and took some pictures of the project in action. Now, you [...]

Epic Battle Cry is one of my favorite podcast shows on Game Trailers, and I just finished listening to the latest episode which was an E3 primer. While there was plenty of conversation around all the major companies at E3, we'll focus on what they had to say about Nintendo. I don't agree entirely with what they say about Nintendo: One point is that Nintendo never really shocks people, so it's always hard for them to win E3. Of course, they won it last year by severe popular opinion - and that was with a very poor showing for WMP and Skyward Sword. They are more likely of course to have a E3 2008 then a E3 2004 as that is just Nintendo's style. That being said, the big debate is Skyward Sword and how important the game will be for Nintendo, and naturally what we are getting from Wii 2/Project Cafe/Stream/Feel. They bring up the possibility of a dual release for Skyward Sword, and talk about what exactly Nintendo has to do with the Wii 2 to impress at E3. The issue they bring up is that Nintendo doesn't make games for those at their conference, but I...

This is arguably one the greatest articles ever produced by the staff of this site, and is brought to you by former long time Bomber's member and news editor Nick Geml. He has another article in the works, but for now enjoy one of the greatest articles every produced at this site. This is a ZI Classic Revival. There's no byproduct of the Legend of Zelda series more interesting than the world of theorizing. Hundreds of articles, thousands of threads, and millions of posts have been made to discuss the Imprisoning War, the identity of the sleeping Princess Zelda, which timeline the Oracles belong in, and dozens of other controversial points of interest spread through the series' mythology. While these topics may prove to be wholly engaging, it's the writers themselves that make theorizing so fascinating. Like the domains of rock n' roll music or child stardom, theorizing may seem glamorous on the surface; underneath, however, lies a vile, disgusting, heartbreaking realm of broken hopes and dreams. My first encounter with theorizing was years back, when I dabbled in the world myself. Luckily, I was able to remove myself before becoming too absorbed. On the eve of the release...

One week remains until Nintendo's E3 2011 press conference. Of the Triforce of presenters, so far we've introduced you to two of them. There was the big boss Iwata - who you could think of as the father in the trinity of Nintendo figureheads. There's the rebellious kick-ass son Reggie, and then there's today's feature. Today we introduce you to Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto, who is befittingly the "Holy Spirit" of video games. This man is one of, although I'd say by far, the most respected person in all of gaming. He permeates right throughout the industry, having personally created industry giants like Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Donkey Kong. There is no better word for Miyamoto than legend. Feel free to be amazed that this man has accomplished so much in one lifetime. Reducing all of his work to this article really doesn't do it all justice, but it will let you know just how amazing Miyamoto is....

Retro Studios is a big upcoming developer for Nintendo. In fact, many would already say they're beyond just "upcoming". Retro Studies develop exclusively for Nintendo, and have provided such titles as the Metroid Prime Trilogy, and more recently, Donkey Kong Country Returns. Retro has a big future ahead of them, but President Michael Kelbaugh insists that while they've come a long way, they still have a lot to learn. He attributes their success to mentorship from Nintendo. Come on inside for his quotes....

Gaming industry analyst Michael Pachter is known for making lots of predictions - of which he gets many wrong, but also some correct. He was right about the Call of Duty monthly subscription fee, and as a professional, his opinion is valid. This time around he brings us his predictions for what Nintendo will be doing at their E3 press conference. All of these points come from the latest episode of Giantbomb's Bombcast. Come on inside for what he has to say......

Destructoid's recent top ten underwater dungeons article has made me think of what my favorite dungeons in Zelda are. There are such a range of different dungeons throughout the Zelda series: some of which are excellent, and others not so much. Personally, the Ice Palace in A Link to the Past is on of my favorites. To me, it encapsulates the perfect difficulty level of the game where you get plenty of game overs, but still progress each time. In Ocarina of Time The Water Temple and Spirit Temple are my standouts, but nowhere near as much as The Stone Tower Temple in Majora's Mask. Come inside for more of my thoughts, and of course, to let us know your favortire and most hated Zelda dungeons....
