First off, I want to thank Oni Nick, one of our fans and regular commenters, for inspiring this particular article. A lot of people, not just this fan, are under the impression that Skyward Sword's combat is just a "puzzle", thus making the entire a game puzzle. Fans such as the one above are more impressed with not needing to worry about attacking being blocked and simply just using the right item at the right time. We've already seen and experienced that Skyward Sword's combat has variations to it. There are several different ways to beat enemies with different items. We've witnessed Jimmy Fallon flailing around and spin attacking a Stalfos to death. We've seen people repel the Stalfos attack with their shield blocking, which caused the enemy to fall back a bit and lose balance, leaving a nice opening to swing away. We've seen people pinpoint their attacks to the openings around where enemies are blocking. We've seen certain directional slices needed to kill select enemies such as Deku Babas. We've also seen enemies like Keese simply needing to be hit in any fashion to take down. We know vines can be cut with arrows, the sling shot,...

If you’re like me, I’m sure you’ve played the 3DS without the 3D feature on. I prefer it many times; however, to Nintendo, surely that would be like playing the Wii without motion controls? Maybe, but to Miyamoto, this isn’t the case, with him fully acknowleding people doing this in an interview. “There are times [...]

Satoru Iwata has unveiled even more Wii U news today. The Nintendo President discussed the indivudual prices of Wii U games and how the prices may vary from publisher to publisher based on how much they think the game is worth.

According to Metro.co.uk, the new Wii Fitness trend Zumba Fitness has outsold Ocarina of Time 3D in the UK. As shown by high sales of games such as Wii Fit and Wii Sports, Nintendo has a highly “casual gaming” based fan group. But what does this mean for Zelda fans? Although Nintendo may try to [...]

Yesterday we told you about an Amazon.com deal concerning the 3DS. Today's Amazon deal concerns Ocarina of Time 3D. If you buy Ocarina 3D at full price on Amazon, you can get another 3DS game at half off. I love this deal. I am currently working on getting a 3DS and Ocarina 3D. This'll let me get another game for around 20 bucks. I'll probably either get Pilotwings or Pirates of the Caribbean. What do you think of this deal? What would you get as your half off game?...

IGN recently sat down Masahiro Sakurai, Director of the Board at Project Sora, to discuss the upcoming Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS. Overall the interview is a nice read, and it only makes me more excited for the game. The most interesting part of the interview was when Sakurai-san was asked about the possibility of the orignal NES Kid Icarus being re-released for the eShop. &nbsp Full quote after the jump....

Every so often it seems websites and retailers are updating their release date for the Legend of Zelda: Skyward and the latest to do so is the folks over at Best Buy. While the official word from Nintendo is still Holiday 2011, Best Buy has dated the game for release on September 25th, 2011. Unlike [...]

Minecraft is becoming more and more popular as more people start to join in. I actually play it as well, but not to the extent as this person. This isn't a replica of Link to the Past, but there are a lot of locations that you will see and recognize. Some people question how a person can sit there and just build. I say those people are ignorant of the addictive play that is Minecraft. I try to avoid playing for an extended amount of time, but my own college buddies often play in between classes to pass the time. Some of them play for hours on end, and have complex puzzles and dungeons built. Whether you play Minecraft or not, you will enjoy this video. Click to continue!...
