Andrew Brown, from Nintendo World Report, was lucky enough to attend Australia’s launch party for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Super Mario 3D Land. The EB Games store in Melbourne was converted into what Brown called a Nintendo themed club where fans were able to play the demo version of Skyward Sword and watch some classic Zelda footage. Some fans were also given many goodies, but for some reason would not show exactly what they were. Throughout the…

We posted just three days ago about the Zelda Prepaid Cards heading to Europe and today we have a new pair cards heading to Australia. Two cards in particular can be seen to the left, the first of which is worth $15 and features Mario, while the second is worth $30 and features Link. The Zelda card has official artwork of Link from the original Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, and Ocarina of Time. You can pickup…

November 24th 2011 is the date that Australians will be able to get their hands on Skyward Sword. When the Australian Official Skyward Sword Website launched a few weeks back they had the same date as the Japanese website of November 23rd. However, the Australian website has fixed this error and it now has the proper release date of November 24th, or as it is listed in Australia 24/11/2011. November 18th – Europe November 20th – North America November 23rd…

Retailers in Australia such as EB Games had started taking pre-orders back in August for the Skyward Sword bundle. However, it took Nintendo of Australia nearly two weeks to give an official press release concerning the bundle. Like all the other bundles, it will include a copy of Skyward Sword, the CD with songs from The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony, and the golden Wii Remote Plus. However, this bundle is only available while supplies last. For those of…

In a somewhat surprising turn of events, it appears that the Zelda Symphony will not be heading to Australia afterall. Despite the hidden coding found within the Australian Zelda 25th anniversary page as well as the recent inclusion on Ticket Master, it seems that Australians won’t be getting the Zelda Symphony concert as originally thought. The folks over at Vooks, who previously reported on both the hidden coding and the ticket master news bit got word from Nintendo of Australia…

Two weeks back we reported that the Zelda Symphony concert might be heading to Australia. We still have no official word, but we now have more evidence that shines a better light. This time it comes from the folks at Ticket Master. When you search the term Zelda at the Australian Ticket Master site the Zelda Symphony appears as a choice but there are no locations or dates listed. You can click the more information tab and all you get…

We’ve heard all about the amazing Skyward Sword bundle from a Nintendo of America press release, but questions quickly arose whether this would be worldwide or just limited to America. Nintendo hasn’t been very consistent with such deals in recent times, as if you recall it seemed almost every single territory got something different bundled with Ocarina of Time 3D. Well, it seems that Nintendo is doing things right this time around and it appears we are heading in the…

A few days ago we heard that the folks in Europe will be getting Skyward Sword on November 18th, while some of us here in the United States would be getting it two days later on November 20th. Well, we’ve unfortunately heard nothing about when the game will release in Japan, but we now have some information on the Australian release date. The folks over at GameSpot gave Nintendo a call and here is what they had to say. “No…

Due to the early releasing of Ocarina of Time 3D in Australia, as we pointed out earlier in this article, Nintendo has cancelled the Ocarina of Time 3D release party that was to take place in Swanston Street. As the game was released by GameTraders earlier than Nintendo had planned, many people had bought their copies of Ocarina of Time 3D as soon as they could, and as a result, Nintendo felt no need to continue the plans for a…

So after Australians receive a bonus Ocarina with the pre-order of Ocarina of Time 3D, it seems Eb Games Australia has another surprise for Zelda fans down under. They already have a page up for a limited edition bundle of Skyward Sword. Priced at $118, it’s odd that they haven’t actually stated what goodies will be included, but one can speculate. A limited edition could potentially mean anything, from an art book to special cover art. But it seems pretty likely that…
