After the litany of big announcements from Nintendo at E3, it is easy to forget the things we were promised (or at least strongly hinted at) but that did not materialize. Official Nintendo Magazine has published a list of the things we were not shown after all. More after the jump.
Giant Bomb had a chance recently to sit down with Cammie Dunaway (Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Nintendo) and brought up a very interesting topic: with all the focus lately on introducing new players to Nintendo products, who exactly was the new Zelda made for? Was it designed to bring in new…
Looks like parents are going to be reading some fine, fine print on their new 3DS boxes. Reggie Fils-Aime, talking to gaming blog Kotaku, made a point of noting that the 3DS was not meant for children under seven years old. While, to other game companies, this demographic may not matter so much, many of…
Remember Ocarina of Time’s Water Temple, where you had to keep taking on and off the Iron Boots? Remember how tedious that was? Well, apparently so do a lot of people.

While at E3, IGN had a chance to sit down with Eiji Aonuma and throw some interesting questions at the producer about Zelda‘s future. The fate of Toon Link? Mr. Aonuma was quick to say that Toon Link wasn’t retired, but he wasn’t exactly sure that they’d ever use him again. He didn’t want to…
This year, Nintendo delivered what many are calling their most impressive E3 keynote to date. With new titles in nearly every classic franchise, you’d be hard-pressed to find an unhappy Nintendo fan. And with so many new games announced, the official unveiling of the Nintendo 3DS and, of course, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword,…
Nintendo announced at their E3 press conference that the 3DS will be hitting the market backed by the strongest third-party support of any system in Nintendo history.

Pit is back! The star of the Kid Icarus series finally returns to his own series after a nearly two decade absence.

Epic Mickey has been known about for a little while – it was originally in development for XBOX 360 and PS3, but shifted focus to become a Wii title.

Nintendo’s E3 2010 keynote is upon us, and it’s happening at 9:00am PST / 12:00pm EST. Nintendo blew us away in 2009 – what can we expect to see in 2010? It’s almost guaranteed we’ll be hearing about Zelda Wii and the mysterious Nintendo 3DS. However, New Super Mario Bros. DS 2 as well as…
