Zelda
Next Zelda for 3DS will be original, not a remake. May or may not be in the works.
In an interview with Mygames.pt, Eiji Aonuma and Koji Kondo were on hand to discuss a few questions about the Zelda franchise at the live 25th anniversary Legend of Zelda concert at the Hammersmith Apollo Theater in London. Amongst the questions of Zelda music and Skyward Sword details, is a real nugget of information about a Zelda title for 3DS. Keep in mind that this is an Portuguese to English ...

This news is three days late, but perhaps many of you are like me and don’t have time to look at the latest Nintendo Video content…unless it’s really good. Trust me when I say that the little blue indicator light by your Nintendo Video icon means more than you usually expect this time. In this case, it means you get a taste of the Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Soundtr...

Will you shirk work to play the new Zelda?
I’m debating it. The gaming gods certainly know I want to. But the timing of my review copy this week couldn’t have come at a more inconvenient… um, time. Abnormally high workload. Prior family engagements late into the night. Finishing up other dealines first. The cherry on top: a threatening cold. (Sob story, I know.) I could blow it all off. But I decided to wait until a prope...
Manual game saves: Retro chic or outdated design?
Derek and I have previously said that specific Zelda gameplay should be updated for the 21st century. One of those issues is manual game saves. Although not exclusive to Zelda, the new Skyward Sword, like previous Zeldas, requires the player to manually save their progress. Instead of auto saving like most modern games, Skyward Sword players will have to save their progress at “any of t...
See Robin Williams slay moblins in this new Skyward Sword commercial
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H88REYN9MXU[/youtube] I loved Robin Williams in his many theatrical performances such as Hook and Dead Poets society, but  when I found out he named his daughter after my favorite video game franchise of all time, my love for him went up by the power of ten. Now Robin and Zelda are in a new commercial promoting the newest game in the franchise, Skyward Swor...
Which are you more excited to play: New Mario or new Zelda?
In just two weeks, you’ll be able to play the newest Mario game on 3DS, Super Mario 3D Land. A week later, Zelda: Skyward Sword arrives on Wii. Of everything you’ve seen so far, which are you most excited to play? Since the games are separated by only a week, something is going to take a back seat. Which will it be in your home?
Did you know? Zelda was originally called “Hyrule Fantasy”
To get you more hyped than you already are for Zelda’s next romp on Nov. 20, read that and other 1986 factoids at Zelda Universe. Thanks, Cody
What do you think of this new Zelda Skyward Sword gameplay trailer?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFuDyJ-7N54[/youtube] It’s in Japanese, but there are some nice visual effects. I totally want to jump in that water fountain.
Don’t tell me what you saw when you watched this Skyward Sword video, I don’t want to know
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6DGivDvg9k[/youtube] I sure hope you like the above cinematic for Skyward Sword. I even hope that you learned a little about the game because of it. As for me, am planning on staying far, far away. Yes, I may have uploaded the video for you all to enjoy, but honestly, I don’t want to know anymore about the game than I already do for the simple fact of...
My Zelda is __________ this big!!!
Nintendo PR folk are calling Zelda: Skyward Sword their biggest video game project ever. Some 50-100 hours of gameplay, according to Miyamoto. Here’s hoping the majority of it will deliver, and keep the masses engaged for more than the paltry 10% effort they usually put into these things. (wink, wink)
After 25 years, Zelda still has staying power
What’s the most-wanted game this holiday? According to Nielsen Research, it’s Modern Warfare 3. Not far behind, however, is Zelda: Skyward Sword at number six, the only game from the ’80s to make the top 20. In fact, it’s one of only two games from the ’80s or ’90s, the other being Madden Football. Not a big surprise, I know, but the staying power of Zelda still...
