A Zelda movie may not be out of the question. At the very least, series producer Eiji Aonuma says he’s “talked about” the subject with creator Shigeru Miyamoto.
If we were to see a Zelda film, it wouldn’t be your typical viewing event. Aonuma told Kotaku that Nintendo would to “make it more interactive, like you’re able to take your 3DS into the theater and that leads you into participating in it somehow.”
Aonuma added, “We wouldn’t want to make it the same as any other movie. We want to somehow change what a movie is.”
“This is something that me and Mr. Miyamoto talked about. If we were to make a Zelda title, if we had interest in doing that, I think really what would be most important to us is to be able to play with the format of a movie, make it more interactive, like you’re able to take your 3DS into the theater and that leads you into participating in it somehow. We wouldn’t want to make it the same as any other movie. We want to somehow change what a movie is.”

Pokemon X/Y sales have surpassed four million copies in just two days, Nintendo has announced. That’s a worldwide figure accounting for sales recorded this past Saturday and Sunday in the Americas, Europe, and Japan.
It’s a bit hard to compare X/Y’s sales to previous games since this is the first time a new release has launched worldwide. Still, Nintendo says: “when combining and comparing regional data for previous launches, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y would be the fastest-selling Nintendo 3DS games of all time and are tracking ahead of the last Pokémon RPG titles, Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2, by more than 70 percent.”
The Pokemon series has now sold over 245 million games worldwide. According to Nintendo, five sets of Pokemon titles have combined to surpass 10 million units sold to date worldwide, with three sets combining to surpass 15 million units.
The list is as follows:
| Title | Platform | Total Global Sales | ||||

Game Freak focused on making it easier to raise Pokemon in X/Y, explains introduction of Fairy-type
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Raising Pokemon was one of the areas Game Freak placed great emphasis on while developing Pokemon X/Y.
Director Junichi Masuda, in an interview with Famitsu, explained that players tend to play games less these days. And so raising Pokemon is much easier than before. As an example, experience points can be gained simply by catching another Pokemon.
“While we did integrate a lot of detailed adjustments into the game balance, another part would be the ease of raising Pokémon. Nowadays, we have the Internet, smartphones, and more, so I think the time spent playing games has decreased.”
“For those reasons, we made it much easier to raise your Pokémon that will allow you to play smoother and more comfortably than before. For example, simply catching a Pokémon with a Pokéball will net you some experience points.”
[REVIEW] Cut the Rope (3DS eShop)
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Features, Platforms, Reviews | 1 Comment
System: Nintendo 3DS
Release Date: September 20th, 2013
Developer: Zeptolab
Price: $9.99
Author: Jack
Ever go to prom? Remember the overwhelming tension and excitement surrounding the build-up to the big day? Rushing to get a last-minute suit vest the same hue as your beloved sweetie pie’s dress, making sure that painful last payment on your limousine rental went through, flipping through your anthology for the optimal Ja Rule record on the way there to set the mood just right… ah, I can almost feel it as though it were yesterday. In fact, my prom was yesterday (I’m in the Navy), and the most vivid memory I have of that fateful eve was getting my mullet trimmed and cut into a bowl cut earlier that afternoon.
While there’s surely no surrogate to be had for a proper trim and cut, with the recent release of Cut the Rope from hitherto unknown Russian developer ZeptoLab, you can now come close to replicating the same pleasurable feeling I experienced at the hands of the barber in the comfort of your home with your 3DS stylus. At a price of $9.99 (compared to the lousy $17 run-around deal I got for a pretty standard bowl shape), Cut the Rope checks off every box a figurative contemporary downloadable game assimilates, and through sheer content and professionalism, releases as one of the most polished and notable puzzle titles to be consumed on the 3DS eShop. Om Nom.
