The Evolution of Nintendo Characters
It’s always cool to look back at the past and see how we’ve improved over the years, and it is even cooler how Mario, Donkey Kong, and Link have grown with us. With the ever expanding technology and limitless possibilities it’s hard to picture what they’re be like in the future. Yet, looking back, it’s been a good run hasn’t it?

Awesome Kid Icarus Mouse Pad
Check out this sweet Kid Icarus mouse pad that features the queen of darkness herself, Medusa. There’s a bunch of cool mouse pads out there in the world, but not many that feature Nintendo characters. Also, on the subject, does anyone even use mouse pads anymore?

In case you missed it, Zelda: Skyward Sword is being directed by one of my favorites
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5V_nauQ5gk[/youtube] His name: Hidemaro Fujibayashi. Other games he’s directed: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and… wait for it… The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (aka my favorite 2D Zelda ever)!

Zelda discussion: Does Minish Cap control better than A Link to the Past?
Having played both recently, I think it does. And dare I say it, don’t better controls make for a more enjoyable game?
Two-dimensional post
After Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby and all those Nintendo remakes slated for the 3DS sell incredibly well, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii stays in the top 10 sales list for, well, forever, do you think the rest of the industry will drop the machismo and consider it “cool” to make 2D platformers again? I sure do. Should be an exciting time for everyone. Wouldn’t you say so, L...
