Wouldn’t it stink to go through a game, reach the end, but then realize that the game can’t actually be completed? Unfortunately, this seems to be the case for some players who are going through Tomb Raider: Underworld for Wii. The glitch apparently appears in the Coastal Thailand area, depending on how you attack that area. One member of the Eidos forums claims to have found a solution to the problem and provides a way to proceed through the level, but one must wonder why this issue was never discovered before the game released.

“I would change the Iron Boots from equipment to an item. If they could be turned on or off at the touch of a button, the Water Temple would be more fun. I wish I could travel back via time warp and fix that.” – Eiji Aonuma

I completely agree with Mr. Aonuma. Most who have played Ocarina of Time say that the Water Temple itself was confusing, but if you ask me, if was more annoying that you needed to keep bringing up the menu to switch between boots.

“Here, let me give the official rumor quote that all businesspeople have memorized: “I can neither confirm nor deny rumors.” That being said, you’ve already seen us bring back a few of our popular series. We get requests every day to bring back all sorts of series, like Adventure Island, Military Madness, Bonk, and so on. Let me say this: I think we’d be crazy not to bring some of our classic brands back.” – Amar Gavhane, Hudson’s Associate Brand Manager

Adventure Island, Military Madness, and Bonk all seem like perfect games to bring back if you ask me. Although, out of those three, I’d love to see Adventure Island reborn the most. What about you guys?

“At the time we were developing Ocarina of Time, not many games had both day and night. In order to heighten the sense of reality within the game, we thought changing from day to night would be important, so we set some events to happen during the day and others to happen at night.

In the game, we were only able to completely differentiate day and night, and there was no in-between. But in planning these events to occur at different times of the day, we learned how to control the characters’ actions in real time as measured within the game. Afterward we wondered if other types of gameplay would be possible using that system, and the result was the three-day cycle in Majora’s Mask.” – Eiji Aonuma

Although Nintendo has yet to launch Club Nintendo in North America, one of the first giveaways may have been revealed. The ESRB has rated a particular item for the Nintendo DS that was once available in Japan. If the ESRB rating is any indication, the Game & Watch Collection for DS will be coming stateside. The title features three games: Donkey Kong, Oil Panic and Green House. Club Nintendo will be launching sometime later this year.
