A group of intrepid GitHub coders have taken up the mission of decompiling the source code of Ocarina of Time. While accessing the files to re-interpret through ROMs has become commonplace, this will actually show everything still in the code, which likely means more cut content. This will also make mods easier to create and…
This year’s Game Awards nominees have been released today by presenter Geoff Keighley. Among the nominees are several Nintendo titles, including Link’s Awakening (2019), Cadence of Hyrule, Smash Bros. Ultimate, and more! Link’s Awakening came through with nominations for “Best Action/Adventure” game and “Best Art Direction.” It’s great that the visual design is being recognized…
PlatinumGames does not shy away from showing you its influences for Astral Chain. It starts with your first glimpse of a Legion, your supernatural sidekick, to the overarching story and even through the gameplay. You may immediately want to wave the game off either as being “too anime” or providing a hodgepodge of indecipherable gameplay…
Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct was packed with surprises, some of which we’ve already talked about. We still wanted to do a brief summary of some of the other amazing announcements out of today’s show, including a furious new set of Smash Bros. details. There was as nice rundown of newcomer Banjo-Kazooie, out today, by director Masahiro…
Get on your Excitement Pants and reuse those memes about hype trains! Nintendo has announced one of its iconic Directs to take place tomorrow, September 4, at 3 p.m. PST. All we know is that we’re going to have a look at Luigi’s Mansion 3 and the new Pokémon titles. It’s going to be roughly…
We’ve been seeing a lot of Mario and Splatoon love in the clothing realm for a while now, but there’s been a curious absence of Zelda. Fortunately for us, fashion website Zavvi has stepped in to save us all from this mishandled drought. There’s a myriad of interesting shirts to choose from, mostly focusing on Zelda games…
In a recent interview with Zelda series direct Eiji Aonuma, Game Informer asked what the future of Zelda remakes looked like. According to Aonuma, there are currently no plans for any further remakes. Given that they’re still working on finishing up the Link’s Awakening remake, it stands to reason they wouldn’t put another in the pipeline until they…
Wow. What a Direct. There was so much to take in! Let’s face it, Zelda fans have a lot to be excited about — but let’s focus! Cadence of Hyrule may not be a “proper” Zelda, but it’s still coming in hot! June 13 is only two days away. Stay tuned to Nintendo’s Treehouse live stream…
Cadence of Hyrule: The Crypt of the Necrodancer was a surprise on just about every level when it was announced back in March. Nintendo, who is historically VERY protective of its IP, let an indie developer have access to one of its most precious franchises. Recently, the developers at Brace Yourself Games discussed their upcoming…
This year’s E3 show starts exactly four weeks from today, but Nintendo seems to be filling the “calm before the storm” with at least one last announcement. They announced that a Super Mario Maker 2 Direct would be coming tomorrow, May 15. You can catch the stream directly when it starts at 3pm PST. While…

For 500 Platinum Points you can get a 30% discount off of Twilight Princess HD on your…
Get those Adult Wallets ready, because it’s time for a deal! Right now, Best Buy is offering a free physical game with the purchase of a new Nintendo Switch on their online store. You can see the details here, but the long and short of it is that you buy the Switch and a game…
Breath of the Wild’s new VR mode, usable with the Nintendo Labo VR headset, is not proof that virtual reality is bad. It’s not even evidence that Labo and the Switch are bad ways to experience virtual reality. It’s proof that VR has to be looked at very differently from what we traditionally know about games…
Folks, let’s get down to it. The brass tacks, the bottom line, the golden rupee. Nintendo is doing well right now. It turns out that Switch thing is still quite the success. But how much so? Let’s break it down in a few different ways. For starters, their mobile initiatives are up 17 percent from…
The developers of the Xenoblade series recently posted that they are hiring for a new Legend of Zelda game. Positions for programmers, designers, artists and more are available. If you’re a developer in Japan, you might want to take a look! It shouldn’t be a total surprise that Monolith Soft is behind another Zelda. They were…
