Small update: Added in the teaser page

It’s been more than 20 years since the first Nintendo Power was published. And next month, the magazine will be reaching a milestone – It’s 250th issue. To celebrate,  it looks like Nintendo Power has “a surprise or two” in store. It’s unclear if there will be any actual game announcements, but the magazine has been pretty good with nabbing exclusives in the past. Here’s what the teaser from the latest Nintendo Power actually says:

“In just 30 short days we’ll mark our 250th issue with a celebration of all things Nintendo, plus big year-end reviews and even a surprise or two. It’s sure to be one for the history books, so don’t miss the party!”

Being able to see Wii games displayed in 720p isn’t exactly a new idea thanks to the Dolphin emulator. Previously, we’ve shared screenshots of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition and Dead Space Extraction in the different video resolution. Yet, even though Wii titles have been presented in 720p in the past, these shots of New Super Mario Bros. Wii look fantastic. You can check them out below.

“To my knowledge there’s no plans to bring 7th Dragon westward at this present time I’m afraid. But never say never.” – SEGA’s official Twitter

It’d be a shame if 7th Dragon never made it outside of Japan. Although the DS has a number of RPGs, I really like the style of the game. Hopefully it’ll release in other territories sometime in the future.

Small update for you guys regarding the status of Nintendo Everything. Our tech guy has been working over the past two days to change the way the site is presented. There are some modifications that you guys will be able to see upfront, such as how links are handled (old links will still work and redirect you to the correct page, by the way), but there are other benefits as well.

The site has experienced some technical difficulties over the past few days, although now I believe that we have corrected them. Because of our new caching system, the site should load faster and errors should be less of a problem. Of course, things are still being tested. However, you should notice an advancement from here on out. There are some behind-the-scenes changes as well (in relation to site speed/loading), and we’re continuing to work on a few things (in addition to the tests I mentioned), but just know that we are constantly trying to improve the experience you all have when you visit NE!

Even though Ocarina of Time is currently available in many different forms, some players have asked for there to be a remake of the title. A number of fans wish for there to be a portable version for the DS while others are more interested in playing the game on Wii. But how does Eiji Aonuma feel about remaking the game? Well, he addressed the possibility of remaking Ocarina – in addition to other games in the series – in a recent interview.

“Well, I sometimes hear such requests from people who want to play Ocarina of Time on Wii, they ask us to remake it and take advantage of Wii technology. Whenever we have to think about the remake, we have to also think about the background, especially what kind of situation, what kind of period and time that previous game was played in, because be it Ocarina of Time or any other games, whenever they say they want to have a remake on whichever platform, they have some emotional attachment from playing that game at that particular time or environment.

That sort of background is always there when they talk about or request the remake of a game. We cannot afford to destroy that kind of emotional attachment. Still, even if we are going to take advantage of the improved technology, we have to have some breakthrough in the gameplay. That combination is not an easy one. Whenever we talk about this breakthrough technology, we come up with ideas that we would like to incorporate into the new Zelda franchise. So that’s the current situation and that’s the reason why we are not very aggressive in exploring the possibility of remaking the past Zelda series. If I can think of how do it, or any other inspiration comes to me, without destroying the emotional attachment people have to the past game, and I can make some great innovation or renovation on the remake, then I might be able to think about it further.”
