Wonder Festival Winter 2012 is happening right now, which means sites around the globe are posting their share of pictures, showcasing the many different fandom and interest groups that are represented at the event.

Among Max Factory's many figmas, a Skyward Sword style Link was unveiled....

Guinness World Records announced the Top 50 Video Game Endings of All Time, and the results are pretty interesting. Among the list are a few Zelda titles, and just how many might surprise you. I was certainly not expecting some of the titles to rank in the places they did. Voted for by 13,519, the [...]

Mods for emulated games are quite common and it seems no game sees as many different mods as Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, the mod we came across today could bring new life back into the game for certain fans and was so well received that it was featured in Zelda Universe’s Friday Fan Art. [...]

If you've played a DS game that featured any amount of full-motion video (FMV), you've probably seen the logo at left. Mobiclip is a video codec developer whose main feat in the gaming world was the development of a processor-efficient, high-quality video compression method that allows for the maximization of battery life on portable video playing devices and therefore lower hardware costs. Since Nintendo's made use of Mobiclip codec software for all of its handheld devices since the Game Boy Advance, it's no wonder why, with two "handheld video game systems" in development - 3DS and the Wii U controller - they'd be apt to grab up Mobiclip for themselves. And it happened - Mobiclip is now a subsidiary of Nintendo. The acquisition means Nintendo's really focusing on getting the most out of the Wii U controller. As a Nintendo-owned venture, Mobiclip will optimize development for the device in order to (probably significantly) improve its battery life and drive down costs. This is a critical step in making the Wii U competitive against other current- and next-gen machines. Nintendo's always relied on cost-efficiency; now they can offer cost-efficiency and a pretty solid battery life....

Jewelry is interesting. There is a wide variety of people out there, from those who love it and won’t leave the house without wearing any, to those who can’t stand it. Either way, it’s cool when the creative portion of the world offers Zelda-lovers a chance to buy jewelry based on game items. AmelieObscura on [...]

Imagine the world of Majora’s Mask redesigned in a dark, gloomy style that’s inspired by the art design of Twilight Princess. Well user ~Spire-III over on DeviantArt has created an amazing looking piece of fan art that does exactly that.

While I was never a Crash Bandicoot fan myself, I've always had a deep interest in canceled projects, especially when they progressed far enough along to the point where actual art and animation was produced. While it's been awhile since Crash has made an appearance on a home console, it wasn't long ago that a team was working on a Crash game. The canceled game, code-named Crash 2010, was originally intended to be released on the Wii before the project got scrapped in 2009. Earlier today, a fan made video was posted online that discussed the project more fully, showing off a good amount of animation and concept art that was made for the game. ...

While the Nintendo 3DS has been released in the big four gaming regions of the world (North America, Japan, Europe, and Australia), there are several untapped areas of the globe that Nintendo is hoping to spread their latest handheld hardware and software to. On such area is South Korea. While there is no solid release date for the 3DS yet, we now know that Nintendo of Korea is working on bringing the system to the country. ...
