Not the best photo out there, but it’s something…

By the time The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D finally launches, the N64 version will be over twelve years old. Nintendo has actually brought up the possibility of bringing the title over to Wii, but Shigeru Miyamoto didn’t just want to port the game without having a specific reason to do so.

Why did Miyamoto feel the time was right to enhance the game for a different platform? He told The Guardian a few days ago:

“We thought the world of Hyrule would be more immersive for the players to experience in 3D and also the horse riding and the thrill of exploring would be heightened… The touch screen allows users to place items where they want and also to display the map. It uses the 3DS gyro sensor to fire Link’s bow and arrow and his slingshot, too. This can be difficult with a controller, but more intuitive moving the 3DS around to aim.”

We’ve seen snippets of off-screen footage of Ocarina of Time 3D in the past, and we were even treated to the game’s intro/opening last week. But this is the first time Nintendo has released a full length, direct-feed trailer. There’s some really nice footage in the video above, so I highly recommend you check it out!

Thanks to Jake for the tip!


MDK 2 (WiiWare)
US: May 9
EU: TBA
AU: TBA


It’s not a Virtual Console game, but this is a straight-up port of the weird third person shooter developed by Bioware for the PC, Dreamcast and later the PS2 back in 2000. And boy is it weird, with a cast of heroes that include a robotic, six-legged dog, a mad scientist, and a janitor. At only 1000 Nintendo points, it’s not a bad deal, and who knows — if enough people buy it, maybe we’ll eventually get an MDK 3.


We’ve seen some rather crazy ideas accomplished with the 3DS, yet the system is barely a month old. You remember the giant Augmented Reality card/Mii, don’t you? That was certainly impressive, but the video above is also… interesting.

A fan apparently decided to tattoo the AR card onto his arm. The only downside I can think of is that he won’t be able to easily use the “Star Viewer” application. The tattoo is definitely a symbol of dedication to Nintendo!

“This tattoo is a near-exact copy of the ? augmented reality card that comes with the 3DS. It seems a bit sensitive to a very specific brightness of light– not too bright, not too dark. I think I need to go back and have the card outline added, since I think it works in lower light because of lower contrast. This video was shot in my bathroom because it was the best place to set up a tripod and hold my arm and the 3DS at the right angles. Still, the AR is a little jumpy because my arm is at a slight angle.”
