Nintendo Clarifies E3 2013 Plans
Yesterday, it was reported that Nintendo would be scaling down from a large E3 press conference and focus solely on smaller events during the week of LA-based video game convention.

Eiji on Zelda 3DS
We are all still very excited about the Link to the Past Sequel for the 3DS. Although it has not been officially confirmed as a “part 2”, the Japanese title does have a “2” in it, so I think it is fairly safe to assume. According to Eiji Aonuma, the game is still in development, but moving along smoothly: The world of Hyrule has been reborn in a highly realistic stereosco...

Could A New F-Zero Be In The Works?
Twitterer @rayquaza3010 sent a simple tweet to @shinegames, probably not expecting a response, stating that he would like them to develop F-Zero for Wii U. However, Shine Games did respond with, “something in the works”. Could this mean that a new F-Zero is in the works, or were they just hinting that they do have a project in the works? A later tweet stated, “We will reveal a...
UK Gets Free 3DS Games
Yes, you did read that right! Nintendo love you and they want to give you games. Unfortunately though, as with anything, there are a couple of requirements. For one you have to be in the UK, and of an age greater than 16. Although, apparently, this is rolling out in Germany too, so quite possibly expect this to come to other places in the EU in the coming months. The biggest catch is, unfortunatel...
