Link, Isabelle, new tracks and more coming to Mario Kart 8 as DLC
History will be made this November: for the first time in a Mario Kart game, Link (…from the Zelda series) will be hitting the tracks.

Retro Redux: NES Quest – DuckTales report card
Waiting for a space duck to get through those spikes is like waiting for King Zora to move aside in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. As I move on to Bionic Commando, I move away from DuckTales.
