Masahiro Sakurai has been interviewed and has told the public about his thoughts on the new Super Smash Brothers game.  Could we see more characters coming from outside of Nintendo from Capcom or other companies?  Read more inside!

Our Ocarina of Time 3D walkthrough just keeps pressing on! This update takes you through Jabu-Jabu’s Belly in Chapter 11 and back to Hyrule Castle to open up the Temple of Time in Chapter 12. We’re about halfway through the guide now, so only 12 more chapters to go before the final showdown!

Today’s featured fan art comes from ~kango67 and depicts the disgusting Barinade. It’s done in a really nifty style that works really well given the boss’s electrified theme. You can check out more of his work at his deviantART gallery page.

Yesterday we updated the Skyward Sword Characters page and today we have for you all the updated Skyward Sword Enemies page. With the new E3 trailer and the subsequent gameplay videos we got, we saw two brand new enemies in Skyward Sword. One of them is a three-headed foe who we are referring to as Gleeok, given his similarities to Gleeok in past Zelda games. The other creature is a massive fire dude that we are calling a Fire Rocktite,…

Introduction Link’s Awakening originally came out for the Game Boy in 1993 to excellent reception. In an attempt to revitalize the game and increase sales,Link’s Awakening was released a second time for the Game Boy Color in 1998 with additional features and, as one would expect, the game was in colour. In a similar fashion, the game has once again been released for the 3DS Virtual Console. This review will highlight the game and its features, often likening it to…

Touch screens have evolved a lot since the original DS came out a few years ago. Whereas at the dawn of the DS the machine used some of the best hardware in the business, since then the technology has evolved to support multi-touch and more robust and accurate capacitive screens. In an interview with Joystiq, 3DS producer Hideki Konno talked about the reason why the 3DS still uses the same 7-year-old tech as the original DS. You can check out his reasoning after the jump.

Ocarina of Time 3D‘s release is just one week away, and so Nintendo of Europe has furnished a ton of new, excellent-quality screenshots to hold us over for the next few days. A lot of these shots show content we’ve never seen before in official materials, and it all looks great if you ask me. We’re definitely looking at Ocarina of Time as we’ve never seen it before. Check out more screens after the jump.

Since the beginning, Link and Zelda have had a definite relationship: Zelda gets captured, Link is told to save her, Link defeats that captor, Zelda is saved, and things go on as they normally do.  Link and Zelda, despite what many would say, have never shown any signs of having a special relationship with each other until now.  Read more inside!

We’ve been doing a bit of Skyward Sword horn tooting since E3. Okay, it’s not really “a bit”. We’ve been going all out to say that it very well could be the best Zelda game to date, meaning that it could even finally knock Ocarina of Time off its perch! Personally, I’ve said it will be as big as the two Galaxy games, Nate has suggested that it very well could be the best Zelda game, and Lex – after his experience with it at E3 – stated that it is poised to be the best.

Sure we may be putting undue pressure and hype on the game, but we’re confident that it is going to deliver. Even if it doesn’t knock Ocarina of Time off its figurative perch, it will still be one awesome gaming experience. Well, it very well could be. Skyward Sword has a great story, great mechanics, great dungeons – I’m sure of that. But what it all comes down to is the MotionPlus controls. They will make or break this game. If they are not the perfect one-to-one controls that Nintendo claims then Skyward Sword is already setting itself up for big disappointment.

Yes, I know. You have two thousand facebook friends to play Mario Kart with, but hey it’s not that bad!

A recent article at Joystiq features a little interview with Mario Kart 3DS producer Hideki Konno.

Obviously, the game lets you play online with your friends, but if you had planned to make a big party of 64 players as I’m sure many of you had, it may not work that way.

Hideki Konno says:  “our goal right now is to have the same number of players for both local wireless and multiplayer over wi-fi.”. You can easily recognize Nintendo’s strategy to bring the best experience possible to the player. More inside.

If you watched Nintendo’s presentation at the E3 conference then this is old news, but that doesn’t change the fact that this beautiful piece of music is worth listening to again. The orchestration commemorates The Legend of Zelda’s 25th anniversary. If you haven’t yet seen this orchestra play this beautiful piece then you are in for a treat. Please enjoy.
