Infendo PSA: Download Four Swords before it’s too late!
The 25th anniversary of Zelda may have happened in 2011, but Nintendo has still given you time to download a free trip to Hyrule on your 3DS or DSi. If you own one of the two handhelds, you have until February 20 to download Four Swords on the DSiWare and the 3DS eshop. Act soon and stop procrastinating, you only have until Monday! Four Swords was originally a free add-on the the Game Boy Advance ...
Captain N: The Game Master
remember a time when Saturday morning was meant for cartoons? We would wake up eager to turn on the TV and Veg out in front of the animated awesomeness of the day! Once a year they would run a half hour to an hour long preview of the upcoming new cartoons as well as the returning favorites. I remember sitting at my Friend Mike’s house and seeing the preview for Captain N: The Game Master....
Zelda Pacman: Two Great Games in One?
In our last post we showed you Super Mario Crossover 2.0 in which Link makes an appearance in a Mario game. Well now Link is at it again and has made his way into another classic game. Nothing gets much better than playing classic Nintendo games and two great ones combine here in a remake of Pacman with a Zelda Theme. Our friends over at Zelda Universe found this version of one of the most classi...
Nintendo needs to hire this guy, stat!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNgtIrSHack&hd=1[/youtube]I’m not sure if you’re aware, but I’m a huge Zelda nut. I love my Zelda in all shapes and sizes. Handheld Zeldas, Celda Zeldas, even Smash Bros. Zeldas. This next Zelda I’m about to show you blew my mind in more ways then one. Animator Joel Furtado also likes his Zeldas, difference is he’s a lot mor...
More on Zelda HD, the “HUD-less” version
I love this: Zelda HD (at CES this week) is the same tech demo we got at E3 last year, but it still has us clamoring for an actual game with these graphics and features. The coolest part is how the TV screen is completely HUD-less. Hearts, items and the mini-map all show up on the Wii U controller and it all looks absolutely gorgeous. It makes me wonder if HUDs should die once and for all.
Link needs rupees for a new mirror shield, pawns his triforce
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlveugLJygg&feature=channel_video_title[/youtube] Kind of a slow news day in the world of Nintendo. It’s dangerous to RSS alone, take this! Oh, and if you’re interested, here is a shameless plug to my new personal blog I just created, Nintentunes.com. Check it out! [Thanks David!]
Nintendo preparing to patch game-ending bug for Zelda: Skyward Sword
The patch is coming via download, reports Andriasang. Snail mail options will be available to game owners without Internet access. The news comes after a game-ending bug was discovered last week.
Bring it on: Retro Studios in consideration to collaborate on next Zelda
Says Nintendo’s Miyamoto: “As you know, we have already collaborated with Retro for the Metroid Prime series in the past (not to mention last year’s game of the year: Donkey Kong Returns). And I think when we talk about any other franchise, Zelda might be a possible franchise for that collaboration.” It’s common belief around the halls of Infendo that Retro Studios ma...
Aonuma so happy with the motion controls in Skyward Sword that he doesn’t want to make another one without them…
…and I’m inclined to agree. While there were a few instances where I felt the game wasn’t doing exactly what I wanted it to, on the whole I felt the controls were spot on. Here is what he had to say to Official Nintendo Magazine UK: “I honestly think we cannot go back to button controls now, so I think that these controls will be used in future Zelda titles, too.” I’...
Review: Skyward Sword truly soars and is the reason to be a fan of Nintendo
When Nintendo sets out to make a Zelda title, there are always high expectations even before a single line of code is written. There are few games that have the legacy of the Zelda franchise, and even fewer still outside of Nintendo. Because of this, The Legend of Zelda is always in the limelight and is always held to a higher standard than any other video game around. With the release of Skyward ...
Zelda Skyward Sword: How far in are you?
I’m 48 hours in and still can’t see the finish line, although all indications are I’m about to turn the final corner. What’s more, there is a boatload of treasure, side missions, and islands I hope to unlock immediately prior to my final push to the summit. Yup, I’d say I could enjoy this thing for a good 15 more hours before beating and laying it to rest as my favo...
