Spirit Tracks was available again in demo form at the German gaming conference “GamesCom”, but unfortunately it was the same old demo as the one that was available back in June at E3.
IGN reviewed it again anyway, stating that it was “as engaging and satisfying as ever”. If nothing else, this review is at least a small reassurance to those who worried that the game would be gimmicky and have little replay value.
IGN had the chance to get their hands on Spirit Tracks at Nintendo’s E3 booth, and had the courtesy to record their session with the game. The video covers most all of the basics of moving on the train – you can even read the tutorial text bubbles.
Ifixit has given the recently released DSi a technical first look and on their site they discussed what the differences are between the DSi and the DS Lite.
For example, the DSi uses a smaller rechargeable battery (840mAh) than the DS Lite (1000mAh), supporting previously heard statements that the DSi would have less battery life than its predecessor. The DSi’s additions, such as the long known SD/SDHC expansion slot, are also discussed.
You may have heard the reports on a rumored Ocarina of Time remake for Wii. Yesterday the site responsible for the news (GameFocus) reported it was an April Fools hoax (surprise, surprise). Click this link for the article.
Obviously, there were many more April Fools hoaxes. Here are some of them.
As we all know, GDC is under way, and it could spell great news for Zelda… if we’re lucky. Nintendo’s keynote is poised to begin at 9:00am PST (12:00 EST) today, and IGN will be liveblogging the event as it happens at this address. But be warned – it could be another grand demo of Wii Sports Resort. You just never know with these things, so cross your fingers!
If anything interesting happens at the keynote, you can be sure we’ll report on it.
A long time has passed since the DSi was released in Japan (while us mortals are still waiting for it) and so far no big-name downloadable content has been offered. But Famitsu has revealed that Sega will release a Phantasy Star game for the console some time this month.
For awhile now the mysterious animated clock on a site owned by Marvelous Entertainment, well known for the popular Harvest Moon series, has been “harassing” the Zelda community for quite some time. Most viewers have noticed the undeniable famous symbol of our beloved series, the Triforce. It is because of this, numerous speculations have arisen out of this confusion. Several posts have been made here on the main page about what this whole mess could really mean. As the clock counts down, more and more Zelda fans have become seduced by its call, even after this post has been made clear, the answer will STILL remain in many minds. “Could this very well establish a new era in the franchise?”
By daring to continue reading, you will learn the truth behind this rumor, the clock does indeed…
Nintendo’s UK office has revealed the release dates of two Wii-makes; Gamecube games with Wii-mote compatibility.
Pikmin and Mario Power Tennis will release in the UK February 6 and March 6, respectively. Other than the added Wii-mote functions, the games feature minor upgrades. Pikmin will feature a new and better save system while Mario Power Tennis will have more camera options and a new split-screen mode.
While a lot of people are indeed delighted by this, some say that Nintendo could – and certainly should – have put some more effort into upgrading the games, like adding extra characters, costumes or other bonus material. As always, head over to the forums to make your voice heard.
In IGN’s most recent Nintendo Voice Chat Podcast, the podcast talked about a game that found its way around friend codes. It is supposed to be a “Major Online Title” being released some time this year.
According to IGN, it is a game that has already been announced. Joystiq has confirmed that it is not The Conduit. What in the world could it be? EA, in the past, has already released games that do not rely on Nintendo’s special wi-fi connection to play online – but this is looking to be slightly sifferent.
I don’t think it really matters what game it is, what are the chances that Nintendo lets this slide? If they do, I will definitely be excited, because it may mean the end of the codes all together. What game do you think IGN could be talking about?
There is a rumor going around that Nintendo is planning to release the DSi in the month of April of this year.
The new DSi is estimated to cost around USD 179.99 and apparently will be released in the first half of this year, sometime around April 4 is the rumored date, according to IGN which cities,”multiple sources close to Nintendo”.
First revealed in October of last year, the DSi features a camera and built-in memory. It’s first debut was in Japan late last year, and it revived the sales of Nintendo’s handheld, that had been losing to Sony’s PSP handheld.
So if you’re wanting to get the DSi, it just might be available in April.
All of you readers are surely fans of The Legend of Zelda (heck, if you weren’t what are you doing here?), but a game with such a strange history can be confusing to fans, old and new, of this amazing series.
Do you have ideas for the next Legend of Zelda game? Of course you do. Everyone, who is a fan of Zelda, likes to sit around and think about what the next game can be. Will it be a traditional go find Zelda and beat Ganon, or will it be like Majora’s Mask and be totally different? The folks at IGN have done just that and have written an article on how they see the next Zelda game. Hit the jump for the link.
Is it true or is it fiction? Recent rumors are surging through the internet about a new Zelda game which will be announced at E3 2008. The presently titled Project Deluge or Valley of the Flood is rumored to be in the works from Nintendo in a recently released interview between Eiji Aonuma and a mysterious individual calling himself “Kyle.” The alleged interview, which originated at IGN’s forums, has not been confirmed to be legitimate but is raising interesting questions about the future of the Zelda series because of the new features in the game.
