Zelda Pacman: Two Great Games in One?

In our last post we showed you Super Mario Crossover 2.0  in which Link makes an appearance in a Mario game. Well now Link is at it again and has made his way into another classic game. Nothing gets much better than playing classic Nintendo games and two great ones combine here in a remake of Pacman with a Zelda Theme. Our friends over at Zelda Universe found this version of one of the most classi...

Nintendo needs to hire this guy, stat!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNgtIrSHack&hd=1[/youtube]I’m not sure if you’re aware, but I’m a huge Zelda nut. I love my Zelda in all shapes and sizes. Handheld Zeldas, Celda Zeldas, even Smash Bros. Zeldas. This next Zelda I’m about to show you blew my mind in more ways then one. Animator Joel Furtado also likes his Zeldas, difference is he’s a lot mor...

More on Zelda HD, the “HUD-less” version

I love this: Zelda HD (at CES this week) is the same tech demo we got at E3 last year, but it still has us clamoring for an actual game with these graphics and features. The coolest part is how the TV screen is completely HUD-less. Hearts, items and the mini-map all show up on the Wii U controller and it all looks absolutely gorgeous. It makes me wonder if HUDs should die once and for all.

Link needs rupees for a new mirror shield, pawns his triforce

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlveugLJygg&feature=channel_video_title[/youtube] Kind of a slow news day in the world of Nintendo. It’s dangerous to RSS alone, take this! Oh, and if you’re interested, here is a shameless plug to my new personal blog I just created, Nintentunes.com. Check it out! [Thanks David!]

Nintendo preparing to patch game-ending bug for Zelda: Skyward Sword

The patch is coming via download, reports Andriasang. Snail mail options will be available to game owners without Internet access. The news comes after a game-ending bug was discovered last week.

Bring it on: Retro Studios in consideration to collaborate on next Zelda

Says Nintendo’s Miyamoto: “As you know, we have already collaborated with Retro for the Metroid Prime series in the past (not to mention last year’s game of the year: Donkey Kong Returns). And I think when we talk about any other franchise, Zelda might be a possible franchise for that collaboration.” It’s common belief around the halls of Infendo that Retro Studios ma...

Aonuma so happy with the motion controls in Skyward Sword that he doesn’t want to make another one without them…

…and I’m inclined to agree. While there were a few instances where I felt the game wasn’t doing exactly what I wanted it to, on the whole I felt the controls were spot on. Here is what he had to say to Official Nintendo Magazine UK: “I honestly think we cannot go back to button controls now, so I think that these controls will be used in future Zelda titles, too.” I’...

What are you playing this weekend?

I’m gonna keep slow roasting the evil that beseeches Skyloft. You know, treasure hunting, item upgrading, and island unlocking before slowly making my way to the next objective in Zelda: Skyward Sword (finishing the song of the hero quest). Never before have I savored a game this much for this long. What about you: What are you playing this weekend?

Review: Skyward Sword truly soars and is the reason to be a fan of Nintendo

When Nintendo sets out to make a Zelda title, there are always high expectations even before a single line of code is written. There are few games that have the legacy of the Zelda franchise, and even fewer still outside of Nintendo. Because of this, The Legend of Zelda is always in the limelight and is always held to a higher standard than any other video game around. With the release of Skyward ...

Zelda Skyward Sword: How far in are you?

I’m 48 hours in and still can’t see the finish line, although all indications are I’m about to turn the final corner. What’s more, there is a boatload of treasure, side missions, and islands I hope to unlock immediately prior to my final push to the summit. Yup, I’d say I could enjoy this thing for a good 15 more hours before beating and laying it to rest as my favo...

If this Zelda fan video doesn’t melt your heart, then perhaps you have taken far too many rupoors

Playing with power again: Nintendo having a heck of a run this holiday

After one of its worst years since the early ’80s, Nintendo is finishing strong these last couple of months by releasing really good games that are rewarded with strong sales. The company released the marvelous Zelda: Skyward Sword this month, followed by a strong Mario outing for 3DS. Up next: Mario Kart 7, which is also garnering very positive reviews early on. What’s more, Nintendo ...
