The newest form of transportation presented to us in Skyward Sword deviated from the methodical engagement of travel presented to us in previous games – typically in the form of a horse. This is in league with the way Spirit Tracks threw at us a completely different form of transportation, but taken to a completely [...]

Do you know somebody that is brand new to the series that has never played a single Zelda game? Do they not even know which character is Link and which one is Zelda? Perhaps your younger brother, sister, or girlfiend who you want to get involved in the Legend of Zelda series? Well Nintendo has [...]

The official Zelda site has been updated with the second page of the Penny Arcade Official Skyward Sword Comic, the first page of which we've posted last week. The art style used by Penny Arcade might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's still officially licensed art, and we'll be seeing a new page each week to promote the release of Skyward Sword....

Following the recent interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, Famitsu has also had a chance to sit down with series producer Eiji Aonuma and director Hidemaro Fujibayashi to talk about Skyward Sword. Fortunately the folks at 1up.com have translated much of this interview for all of us to enjoy. In this interview they give their thoughts on [...]

If you've been feeling a twinge of disappointment about the 3DS's online offerings (as I often have, truth be told), there's at least something pretty awesome coming down the pipes this week: Nintendo revealed that the handheld follow-up to the original Metroid, Metroid II: The Return of Samus is making its way to the eShop this Thursday. It's quite possible that of the main-series Metroid games, this is the least-played entry, and that's a damned shame, as Metroid II, despite being monochromatic, is (next to Super Metroid, of course) in my view the definitive Metroid experience....

In honor of Skyward Sword’s release Lionhead’s lead character artist Jon Eckersley, who has designed characters for the Fable games, has created hand made Zelda shirts for his fellow staff members and for the SuperMarrowBros site. Some of you might remember the SuperMarrowBros site from the other Kotaku feature we posted about a month ago [...]

The prominent American president of Nintendo, Reggie Fils-Aime announced that Nintendo will release games to attract more casual gamers. Reggie expects to see more of this on the E3, but what good will this do to Nintendo? If you're interested in seeing my first post, a thought on casual games for the 3DS, join me after the jump!...

For our couple of thousand viewers in Japan, as of today (Wednesday the 23rd as it is in Japan), Skyward Sword is now on sale. Australians still have to wait the final stretch of one day, that is if retailers can hold off until Thursday. With that said, how's Skyward Sword going for the rest of you throughout the world. Our staff is stuck right into the experience, with some still in the original quest and others having moved on to hero mode. What we want is your feedback for how it's all going. Where are you up to? How many hours have you put it? Favorite and least favorite moments? How's it compare to other games and your expectations? Have you got a grasp on the motion controls? Come on inside and let us know all about your experience....

Video not working? Try the Youtube Mirror. I like OCRemix. Scratch that, I LOVE OCRemix. I'd bend over for OCRemix any day. The best video game remixes in the world originated on that site. Serious Monkey Business stands as one of the best collection of video game remixes in the world. And now they've one and done something completely unexpected - they posted a brand new, unannounced Zelda remix album, to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the series. Combined with the symphony CD that came with Skyward Sword, this might just be too much Zelda music to handle. That's how I always wanted to go anyhow....

Over at Cinemassacre.com, the website most known for the Angry Video Game Nerd videos, MotherF–ker Mike has posted a video detailing his first impressions of Skyward Sword. Starting with what he thinks other reviewers got wrong, he then proceeds to explain what he finds works in the game and what he thinks the game’s flaws [...]
