Ever since Skyward Sword was released news on the Zelda series has been…well dead. We are stuck in that awkward period between Zelda releases and it is likely that there will be no real news until E3 of this year, if even then. However, there is another great game that is coming out here soon. [...]

The other day, we let you all know about the special 3DS games case that Nintendo now has available through their Club Nintendo rewards program. While the reward is super useful, allowing you to carry up to eighteen 3DS games in one convenient case, it also comes with a selection of different case covers that can be easily swapped out. As usual the reward is a little different for Japanese Club Nintendo members. Instead being sent four known case slips, Japanese members will be sent three random slips from a wider selection of covers. ...

Zelda fanatic Stephonika Kaye has been working on a Twilight Princess Novel for quite some time now. This isn’t your regular fan-fiction, but instead this a full blown 48-chapter novel that is a realistic adaptation of Twilight Princess. There are no original characters, major story changes, or any of the usual things you see in [...]

I stumbled upon an article by Chris Buffa at Modojo that suggested that the long-rumored Final Fantasy VII remake that everyone but Square seems to want should actually come to 3DS. And, having taken a second crack at the game in recent weeks - I never had the time to devote to it the first time I tried it - I have to say that I kind of agree with him. (This is, of course, ignoring the fact that the 3DS should get brand-new titles and not just remakes.) Now, Chris's argument focuses mostly on how it's time for Final Fantasy to come back to its original home on Nintendo systems, but he does touch on a point that I think is worth discussing. Find out what that point is after the jump. ...

Over at Busted Tees, a brand new Legend of Zelda t-shirt is now up for sale. This one is simply entitled Song of Storms and you can see it pictured to the left. As you can see, it has the notes from the song of storms, along with the phrase Make it Rain. Selling at [...]

If you visit Nintendo of America's official site for Xenoblade Chronicles, you'll see a set of links at the bottom of the page. The one on the left links to a series of Iwata Asks interviews regarding Xenoblade Chronicles... but wait! If you slide your mouse cursor over the link button, you'll see the text description displayed at left - "A Discussion on Game Development with the Creators of Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story." But why mention The Last Story interviews if the game's not coming to the U.S.? I cross-checked the link with the Nintendo UK Xenoblade page and it's safe to say that the mouse-over text wasn't just a remnant from the original site (which the American site is based on). And since the only mention of The Last Story in any of the Xenoblade Chronicles Iwata interviews appears in a footnote... could this mean Nintendo's planning to bring The Last Story stateside sometime this year?...

It is widely known that during Nintendo’s development of Majora’s Mask in order to save time during the development process and get the game out a lot earlier, they used Ocarina of Time’s game engine and character models. That became the reason why there were a lot of characters from Ocarina of Time found in [...]

In this Zelda Collection video I take a look at a figurine dating all the way back to 1989. This is an officially licensed Link figurine from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. It’s rather simplistic and Link surely does have a rather unique look. His face in particular is quite strange with his gazing [...]

Before Nintendo went ahead and revealed the big secret that was the official Zelda timeline, one fan was taking steps to prepare what could be the longest timeline article ever written. The fan in question, Zach, made his way through every single Zelda game in a month (save the CD-I titles, of course), in an attempt to gather as much information as possible before embarking on his essay. Zach had to change his approach after Nintendo spilt the beans, but he still pressed on. Instead of trying to determine the order of the timeline, Zach instead sought to detail out Nintendo's timeline. ...

For reasons no one's ever been entirely sure, the Resident Evil series has always prided itself on being a survival-horror franchise with compelling plots, terrifying monsters, and, sure enough, cheesy dialogue. Since the series' inception, the games have been making such remarks as the "master of unlocking" and "it's really powerful, especially against living things!" in the original game, to Resident Evil 4, where Leon couldn't help but try to use pick-up lines on his mission support. Having already played a decent chunk of Revelations, I can already confirm that some of the lines of dialogue are, well, completely unnecessary but still incomparably hilarious. Some would say they kill the mood, others would argue they're the perfect ice breakers: "This cave is too cold," "You should have brought your thermal underwear!"...
