3DS hands-on report – PAX East 2011
I spent nearly 45 minutes playing with a variety of games at the Nintendo booth during PAX East. Here’s a quick rundown:
What’s the biggest blip on your radar?
I gotta go Zelda: Skyward Sword, if only because it’s Zelda, it’s being overseen by Miyamoto, and it’s director by the same guy that did Minish Cap, the most underrated Zelda of all time. Either that or another upcoming Zelda: Ocarina 3D. What about you? What’s the biggest blip on your gaming radar?

Up close and personal: Zelda Ocarina looks lovely on 3DS
As seen by Infendo’s Canon T1i last week. Too bad she’s not a launch game.
This Zelda pixel mosaic is pretty cool
So claim the creators: These mosaics have been created using various sprites and screenshots from every single Legend of Zelda game ever made. This includes the infamous CDi games such as The Wand of Gamelon and classics like A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. Many of the images are from Legend of Zelda 1, 2 and 3, but all the games are represented. Thanks, Jim.
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword looks HAWT
Say what you will about the art direction of Zelda: Skyward Sword, but I like it.
How many times have you beaten Zelda: Twilight Princess?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDJrI_xm5Kg[/youtube] Zelda: Twilight Princess is a long game. Really long. Like upwards of 60 hours long, depending on how you play. But that hasn’t stopped this guy from completing it multiple times. “I’ve played this through four times, and I’m still not tired of it,” says Virpoja at Game Trailers. Now that’s dedication...
Pointless button actions that fail to enhance my enjoyment
In researching the best Zelda clone games for a story I’m working on, I recently played Darksiders for PS3, Xbox 360, and (coming soon) to PC. It’s an okay game with awesome production values, and it’s very reminiscent of Zelda. That said, it’s one of many modern games that feel the need to artificially inflate the number of buttons used, as if they add any real value to th...
Scott Pilgrim Tanking at the Box Offices
The first “true” video game movie isn’t doing to well at the box offices, according to sales data. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World only managed to pull in a measly 10 million over opening weekend; which isn’t exactly cutting it for the movie with a 60 million budget. Strangely enough, if you guys didn’t already know this, this is one of the few movies that Miyamoto has gi...
