Ocarina of Time 3DS Official Date is Here!

, , , ...



Anton already mentioned this in the 2Q Release post, but I can't help but make it a big deal. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS has an official release date: JUNE 19th!!

This image is an accurate description of my feelings and/or actions upon the moment when I read this news this morning.

OoT3DS is NOT a direct port of the greatest game of all time, but a REMAKE - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo64. The new 3DS version includes vastly updates graphics, and entirely new and awesome control scheme specialized for the 3DS, better inventory management, an additional "C Button" slot (which I think is CHEAP), the ability to use the 3DS gyroscope for your first person viewpoints and your slingshot/boomerang/fairy bow aiming.

Most importantly, the game includes the ability to select the Master Quest, which is the same plot, but changes the insides of the dungeons to be much more difficult and intense.

Be sure to go out and pre-order this amazing game!

TGS 09: New Super Mario Bros. Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Dated

, , , ...


Two of Nintendo's most anticipated only holiday titles, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, now have concrete release dates.

Yesterday, at the annual Tokyo Game Show, Nintendo announced that New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the first 2D console Mario platformer since Super Mario World, and the first multiplayer Mario title, will be released in America on November 15, 2009.

A few weeks ago, the Big N also announced a released date for the hotly anticipated sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, known as The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Spirit Tracks will be making a stop on American shelves on December 7, 2009.

After the break, you'll find press releases for both news items, as well as the final boxart for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

Bit.Trip Core to Release on July 6

, , , ...


Bit.Trip Core, the brain melting sequel to Bit.Trip Beat, has long been confirmed to have a release date of "Summer 2009." When exactly in Summer was always a mystery, leaving fans of the Bit.Trip franchise to cluelessly wait for the next time they could get their hands on a mind-blowingly hard game from Gaijin Games. That wait will soon be over, as Gaijin Games plans to release Bit.Trip Core on WiiWare on July 6, 2009.

Yesterday, Gaijin Games posted a teaser image (seen right) on their blog, which stated "7 + 6 + 9 = 100", which, as a mathematical equation, is completely flawed. bigsmile Fans correctly guessed that "7 + 6 + 9" referred to a release date of July 6, but had no idea what the "= 100" line meant. As it turns out, Bit.Trip Core will be the 100th title released on the WiiWare service. Nintendo often reserves such milestones for major first-party releases, so it's good to see a cool third party title get some preferential treatment.
