Last year, Nintendo released Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition in honor of Mario’s 25th anniversary. Zelda’s turning 25 this year as well, but Nintendo has no plans to introduce any sort of compilation.

Despite Nintendo of America’s interest to release another collection disc, both Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto denied the proposal. Apparently they didn’t want to copy their plans from last year. Instead, Nintendo of Japan was interested in doing something more unique.

Nintendo is celebrating Zelda is a rather big way. Four Swords is heading to DSiWare later this year and both Ocarina of Time 3D and Skyward Sword will be out before the end of 2011. Additionally, concerts will be held in North America, Europe, and Japan. Two CD soundtracks will be made available – one for the concerts and one for Ocarina of Time 3D – and Nintendo is also preparing a special, golden Wii Remote Plus for the upcoming release of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Not too shabby, if you ask me!

Thanks to Jake for the tip!


During E3 week, GameSpot Australia sat down with Nintendo’s Yoshiaki Koizumi to discuss Super Mario 3D. Koizumi commented on a number of topics, including hint systems, fan input, mobile games, and even the Wii U briefly. Read on below for all of the details.

Yoshiaki Koizumi on Super Mario 3D playing a lot with perspective/3D…

“The effect of things coming from the background to the foreground was definitely something we wanted to use specifically because we could present it in 3D. When you’re presenting someone with a fictional world, and you’re trying to help him grasp how to move objects around inside of it, it was always very difficult, particularly on 2D displays, to show something coming from the background toward you. But now, we’ve gotten away from that taboo in development, and we now feel like we can use that effect more easily.

“As for other effects, we’re thinking of how objects will move in a 3D game and how they will move within a 3D display. We’re thinking about several of them, but I’m afraid I can’t reveal anything at this time.”

Nintendo is on the list, though I’m not expecting much from them. I remember the days when they used to have conferences at the show… but times have changed! The company will likely bring some of the games they showed off at E3 to GamesCom.
