Eiji Aonuma hasn’t half been doing the rounds lately. The series producer has been in more interviews than Michael Parkinson (a mild-mannered, British Jay Leno for our US readers) and in the latest one, this time for Game Informer, Aonuma-san has been discussing the nature of dungeons in Breath of the Wild. They’ve long been a…
Ever since we got our first proper look at the opening sequence of Breath of the Wild, speculation has been rife as to the identity of the Old Man that Link bumps into when he exits the Shrine of Resurrection. Some think he bears a striking resemblance to King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule (known to his friends…
Breath of the Wild is big (thank you Captain Obvious), and we already know that there’s a ton of stuff for Link to get done in this latest version of Hyrule. Whilst it is possible to go straight from the Shrine of Resurrection to the final showdown with Calamity Ganon, without even so much as…
It just wouldn’t be a Zelda release without some special editions full of cool swag, and Breath of the Wild is no exception. Following the announcement of the game’s March 3 release date (only 7 weeks folks!) at Nintendo’s Switch Presentation, the big N announced two special editions for Link’s latest outing. First up is the Special…
The February issue of Game Informer features new Overwatch artwork and has the top 50 games of 2016 as it’s cover story, but elsewhere in the pages there’s a look ahead to those eagerly anticipated titles of 2017. Naturally, no 2017 look ahead would be complete without including Breath of the Wild and sure enough, Game Informer…
We’ve only a handful of days left until Nintendo’s big Switch presentation where they’ll furnish us with all the info pertaining to their next system’s launch date, price, software line-up, much discussed specs, and who knows what else. Although the presentation will be broadcasting directly from Japan, those of us that are less than proficient in…
There are some people in this world, such as myself, who take an unwavering ‘seat of their pants’ approach to life. My christmas shopping is done on December 23rd at the very earliest. Any deadlines are met with seconds to spare. They say the best laid plans go awry, but I wouldn’t know as I’ve…
More DLC content has dropped for Monster Hunter Stories, including the second part of the Zelda collaboration. Still, unfortunately, a Japan only game, the content nevertheless offers those fans who have perhaps imported a copy, or live in the land of the rising sun, a chance for a little Monster Hunter Zeldification. The DLC content can be accessed…
It’s been 25 years since A Link To The Past arrived on the SNES, but thanks to some sleuthing and translating from Shmuplations, we’ve got a fresh insight into the development of the game. The interview is with Shigeru Miyamoto from around the game’s original release, and but for the game titles, one could be forgiven…
This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Super Nintendo World is a real thing, and is coming to Universal studios Japan in 2020. Ever since Nintendo and Universal announced their partnership in May last year, fan speculation has been rife as to just what form a Nintendo-themed, uh, theme park,…
Figure fabricators Jakks Pacific have unveiled wave 9 of their World of Nintendo figures. There’s been a few repaints of older figures, and Inkling Boy is included for the first time for all you Splatoon fans. One of the figures to get a new look is Wind Waker Link, who loses his Ganondorf-intimidating scowl from wave 6 in…
Everyone’s favourite anthropomorphic mayoral simulator, Animal Crossing: New Leaf added a host of new features recently, including Amiibo support. During the Animal Crossing Direct that announced these features, we caught a glimpse of Epona, Ganon, Wolf Link and Medli appearing as villagers in town, and it now transpires that the recently released 30th Anniversary Zelda Amiibo will give you the…
Black Friday, and the surrounding weekend, is nuts. We all know this. So why on earth would you want to venture out into that madness when there’s plenty of deals to be had online? Nintendo are no stranger to this and have discounted a slew of games — though they’ve opted to call the promotion…
Back in July we told you about a gorgeous looking Majora’s Mask fan film that was slated to appear this year. Well now that film has finally dropped and it’s every bit as stunning as the trailer would suggest. Created by Ember Labs and Theophany, the video shows Skull Kid’s first meeting with Tatl and Tael,…
If you ever thought Link would look far better after a run-in with King Midas then you’re in luck. Jakks Pacific has unveiled two new series of figures under the labels Trophy and Prototype.
