Project Offset is the code name for a first-person shooter set in a fantasy world where the real-time visuals are meant to render at near-cinematic quality. The project was cancelled shortly after Intel bought the company making the game, but there's a chance that the project may be rejuvenated for the Wii U. At least that's what the rumors are saying. Jump inside to check out the incredible video footage from the project....

No, this isn't another hiring post (at this point, I may just make a new hiring section on the site and just direct people to it, but if you do want to work for us just email me at nathan@zeldainformer.com and tell me what position you'd like to do and why we should add you to our team). At ZI, we pride ourselves in our news coverage, article writing, and our extremely varied opinions on many aspects of Nintendo, Zelda, and gaming on the whole. That being said, it's time we all sit down for a serious discussion in regards to the future of ZI....

For more about technology in Zelda, see Ben Spyrou's "The Oocca: Engineers of Hyrule" article here. For more information on fan articles, please check out the article submission section of our forums. The Legend of Zelda is a fantasy-oriented series - there's no questioning this fact. Link wields a sword and shield, Hyrule is styled after a medieval kingdom, magic is commonplace, and so on. This is what we know, and the series doesn't touch upon things beyond middle ages adventure. That's what I always thought as a kid playing the old classics, up until nearing the end of Twilight Princess. My entire perception of the series flipped upside down on its head after reaching the City in the Sky. All of a sudden, the idea of Zelda being solely a fantasy game was turned around by the sheer technological advancement of the Oocca. It didn't end there....

I’ve made no secret of my love for Majora’s Mask. I’ve stated numerous times across all my videos and articles that it’s my favorite Zelda game, and although I haven’t written about it recently, that hasn’t changed. Of all the things I love about Majora’s Mask, it’s actually a single region that stands out the [...]

In addition to the Flame Red 3DS that will be released later this month, Nintendo has announced that a new color DSi will also be available. The DSi XL will now be available in Metallic Rose, a color that was previously available on the DS Lite, on September 18th. This is hilarious for two reasons: One it's pink, and two it's for the DS. I guess Nintendo thinks that female gamers are not informed enough to realize that the DS is a dying system. It's not like female gamers work at gaming blogs or anything. The sad thing is that the majority of females who play video games are not actually gamers, but casuals, so Nintendo's plan to squeeze a little more profit from the system may actually work (their sales figures show that it has in the past). In addition to increasing the female section of their core audience, Nintendo will also be using the Metallic Rose model to promote Kirby Mass Attack, the last big first-party game that will likely come out for the system.

    Recently uploaded pictures are showing that the latest Zelda game announced for the Wii U has some very nice and smooth high resolution footage and game play. This game was first seen at E3 and initially speculated to be a remake of Twilight Princess. But later examination (like the image above) shows that [...]

Bad news, nobody. Just as things were starting to look up with a 260% boost in sales revenues in the month of August, Nintendo's luck has reverted back to running dry. The word is that software developers are finding it too difficult and frustrating to develop for the Wii U, particularly with the tablet controller - that's an accusation that Nintendo had sent out faulty development kits, and game designers just can't manage with it's cumbersome development interface. The horse's mouth? It just so happens to be 01net, the same source which foresaw the announcement of the infamous 3DS circle pad peripheral. What this means, if true, is that developers could ultimately give up on their Wii U projects and defect them to another system, as a cause of being dissatisfied. Come on inside for more, but, I gotta tell you, it's not looking good, fellas....
