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!

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.
