REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo revealed details about three of its biggest games of 2015: The Legend of Zelda, Mario Maker and Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.
Nintendo game designers Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma appeared via video at The Game Awards in Las Vegas on Dec. 5 to walk through some of the new game play of the Wii U installment of The Legend of Zelda franchise. Miyamoto and Aonuma showed off some visually stunning graphics, as well as the vastness of the world. Players can pinpoint locations on the map on the Wii U GamePad, which then appear as beacons in the game as an aid to navigation. The duo also showed off the gliding Sailcloth item, as well as how Epona, Link’s horse, does not need to be directed through every step of her path. Epona will avoid trees and obstacles, just as a real horse would do, leaving Link’s hands free to wield his sword or shoot arrows.
The public got its first look at Mario Maker for Wii U during the E3 video game trade show in June, and new details about the game, which lets users create their own Mario levels, were announced at The Game Awards. This includes the ability to tap the Wii U GamePad screen to change the look of the level design to a number of classic styles, including Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U. Each style includes game mechanics unique to the original game, such as ground-pound or wall-jump maneuvers. Players can integrate these mechanics into designs for the various titles featured in the game. This game will launch in 2015, which will be the 30th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game.

3DS owners having issues redeeming Famicom theme codes following Ultimate NES Remix purchase
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Have you purchased Ultimate NES Remix? If so, you’re entitled to a Famicom 3DS theme.
There’s just one issue: 3DS owners are reporting problems redeeming the new theme due to error 009-2295. This indicates that the redeemable code is intended for another software. Making matters worse, it seems that codes expire by the end of the day.
Hopefully Nintendo will be able to sort everything out!
Thanks to Rich B for the tip.
