Mike Damiani of Gametrailers has written a detailed account of his playthrough of Spirit Tracks – well, up to the end of the second dungeon anyway. It contains a new spoiler about once every sentence, so if you want to know all about the game you can read his post here.

One interesting non-spoiler to note is that at the start of the game the game will ask you whether you are left-handed or right-handed, which is a feature that I’m sure that the 10% of left-handed gamers would have liked to have back in Twilight Princess.

We have updated our gallery with 10 new pieces of official artwork, including some artwork of brand new characters.

Our friend Nathan over at ZeldaInformer has compiled a wish-list of features and tidbits that he would like to see appear in Spirit Tracks. If you’ve ever had ideas for ways to improve the Zelda series, this is a welcome read, and Nate addresses the flaws that were present in Phantom Hourglass that should most certainly be fixed in Spirit Tracks (such as the lackluster soundtrack).

Check out the article here.

The Official Nintendo Magazine answered questions from curious Zelda fans on their website. Most questions have to do with gameplay and there are no spoilers as far as the storyline is concerned (unless you’ve been living under a rock and not seen the trailers) so don’t be afraid to check it out. Also, The Official Nintendo Magazine’s next issue will include the very first review of Spirit Tracks, so if you want to check that out, pick up your copy on Friday.

Our Future Zelda forums are packed with interesting discussions about Spirit Tracks, so if you want to voice your opinions on Zelda and trains (lovely trains), that’s the place to go!

There have been a lot of  Spirit Tracks screenshots pouring in lately, but they just don’t compare to actual video footage. Luckily, we now have exactly that – the Japanese Spirit Tracks website has provided us with three minutes of excerpts from the game.

Once again, we have updated our Spirit Tracks Characters and Items/Equipment pages to reflect the new information we have been given, and our Spirit Tracks Gallery has been updated with the new official art.

Next up are our Enemies and Bosses pages, which should be up-to-date by the end of the week.

We have been seeing a lot of characters who look similar to characters from The Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass, presumably because they are descendants, but now art has surfaced of what appears to be an old face from Wind Waker, though a much older face than before thanks to the time gap.

Official Nintendo Magazine has confirmed that Spirit Tracks will contain an instrument for Link, and you will be able to learn different songs for it that will unlock different things, in the style of the main console games.

On the downside, it appears you’ll have to use the DS microphone to play the songs, meaning that attempts to play the instrument in public may result in everybody nearby thinking that you have lost your mind.
