As we reported earlier, Breath of the Wild will be getting its own line of Amiibo, with three different figures confirmed: Link (archer), Guardian, and Link (rider). Now it’s time for a closer look! It’s no wonder Nintendo just published a separate trailer to show off these figures on their YouTube channel, as they look absolutely…
Here’s the box art for the new Zelda game we’re currently going crazy about, Breath of the Wild. It features artwork we saw a while back, with Link aiming his bow. Now don’t get me wrong, the art is pretty, but considering how amazing the game’s world looks, it seems a shame not to see a beautiful…
It looks like those lovable tree folk from Wind Waker‘s Forest Haven are making a welcome return! During the first demo playthrough on the Treehouse livestream, Link runs into a Korok on his adventure across the huge field. The little guy is found in a lake, and seems very pleased that Link can see it. This…
Man, is it really almost time for E3 already? Readers, tell me I’m not the only one who feels like this year is going too fast. I still have a serious backlog to contend with, and now you’re telling me I’m already going to be watching tons more games that I’ll inevitably purchase and pre-order? I…
Well this seems a bit sudden. Right after new DLC launches for Hyrule Warriors Legends, it appears Nintendo has now abandoned their trademark application for “Hyrule Warriors”. The reason given for the abandonment, according to the USPTO website (spotted by the hawk-eyed folks at NeoGAF), is “because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late…
Now that the Master Wind Waker DLC pack has launched worldwide for Hyrule Warriors Legends, we also have an update for the game to ease in the new content. With a playable Medli also being added for free to all players on both Hyrule Warriors, titles, this means there’s also an update for the Wii U…
It seems like there’s plenty of gaming franchises making the leap to the big screen this year. Hot on the heels of Ratchet & Clank and Angry Birds: The Movie, we’ve got Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed yet to come. Now it seems Nintendo want a slice of the cinematic pie. CEO Tatsumi Kimishima stated in an interview with Asahi that the…
You guys still plugging away at Miitomo? A lot of the buzz for the app seems to have died down, but I’m still having fun answering random questions and putting silly outfits on my Mii each day. My real motivation to play, of course, is the new My Nintendo program. If, like me, you’ve been busy collecting…
A while back we reported on some new additions to the Nintendo Selects range in the US, which is a line of 3DS games which have been recognised as classics and redistributed at a budget price. Not surprisingly, Ocarina of Time 3D was one of these, and now the Nintendo Selects version of the game is heading to…
I think the recent news of Nintendo’s decision to have Zelda U as the only game present at their E3 presentation struck us all by surprise. Some are worried that the lack of other games are going to put Nintendo at a disadvantage over its competitors Sony and Microsoft, while others are disappointed that there won’t…
Though very much still in its early days, The Strong National Museum of Play has already included The Legend of Zelda to The World Video Game Hall of Fame with its second batch of additions. Impressive! The original NES game joins Grand Theft Auto III, Oregon Trail, The Sims, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Space Invaders as games that are…
Shockingly, in the past four years since it began, I had never experienced Symphony of the Goddesses before last week. For one reason or another, I’ve kept missing out on this huge orchestral tribute to the Zelda series, praised by its fans and officially approved by producer Eiji Aonuma and composer Koji Kondo. I’ve heard nothing but good things from people who’ve…

We are now one week away from the release of the expanded musou spin-off, Hyrule Warriors Legends, and not surprisingly many new traliers for the game have surfaced across Nintendo’s YouTube channels. Here’s a round-up of the most recent uploads, which give us another look at King Daphnes’ and Linkle’s combat styles, a character overview and…
If you missed the prior videos in Nintendo UK’s new “Guess the Amiibo” series, producer Shigeru Miyamoto and Splatoon director Tsubasa Sakaguchi each posed as an Amiibo figure and challenged viewers to guess which character they were mimicking.
