Got a knack for art? Do you enjoy the Zelda series? If so, this is the post for you!

YouTube Preview ImageIf you haven’t heard, this year marks the 25th anniversary for everyone’s favorite green hero, and Nintendo is celebrating by holding a rather awesome contest for any of the artists out there. Do you own a DSi? Can you create art that doesn’t look like an easel exploded? Then boy do I have news for you.

Nintendo has just launched an official Zelda Flipnote site and are asking fans for their best creations celebrating their favorite scenes and characters from the franchise. Entries must be submitted by September 9, and must be at least 20 seconds in length.

What do you win for creating such awesome art? After careful review, the winning flipnotes will be selected to be commented on by The Legend of Zelda creators and published on the Nintendo website. Not too shabby!

So what are you waiting for? Start animating!

Nintendo gives quake victims the gift of games

Nintendo gives quake victims the gift of games

Nintendo of Japan has been quite generous to victims of the Japanese earthquake and subsequent tsunami that occurred this March to the tune of $3.6 million. Nintendo has been mum on the subject of other such donations, detailing that they did not feel that they should show their actions off to the world, and have a policy of not involving the media. A member of the Japanese Hachimaki Blog has posted what some of those donations were.
 

Nintendo has donated a number of DSi units with the DS Terebi attachment included with the system. The DS Terebi is a TV tuner cabable of receiving 1seg television broadcasts, enabling the quake victims quick access to local news broadcasts.

It’s great to see big companies like Nintendo still giving the the victims in their home country. Hopefully they feel generous enough to give a little to foreign countries as well.

Review: Just your average rice-cake streaking through a haunted spa game…

Review: Just your average rice-cake streaking through a haunted spa game...

The eShop added a few new titles to its line-up this week, including Gameboy Tennis and a truly strange and funny little DSi platformer from Aksys Games

Pro Jumper! Chimaki’s Hot Spring Tour! Guilty Gear Tangent!? puts you in the role of Chimaki the living rice cake. At the beginning of each level, Chimaki staggers home (presumably from his job as a minor sight-gag in the Guilty Gear games) suffering from pains that can only be cured by a quick trip to a spa. Unfortunately, every place he chooses is full of odd little creatures and demons who object to a non-member running nearly naked through their workplace. Armed only with a towel to snap, Chimaki runs and jumps his way to the boss-guarded hot tub at the end of each level. It’s like Ghosts n’ Goblins meets Spirited Away.
