3DS

REDMOND, Wash., Apr 17, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) — In a new Nintendo Direct video announcement today, Nintendo revealed another massive list of news for its Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems. Topping the list for many gamers is an entirely new Nintendo 3DS game in The Legend of Zelda series set in the world of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The game is scheduled to launch this holiday season. Fans will also be excited to hear that a new game in the Yoshi’s Island series is also being developed for Nintendo 3DS. And, after 20 years, EarthBound is finally returning to North America. The game is scheduled to be released this year on the Virtual Console service for the Wii U home console.

“Nintendo 3DS and Wii U continue to evolve into some of the best bets in gaming,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “We’ve had an incredible 2013 so far with titles such as Fire Emblem Awakening and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, and the rest of 2013 and beyond is even better.”

The next entry in the Professor Layton series will be heading west next year. Already released in Japan, Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy will arrive in North America in 2014.


European fans of the Shin Megami Tensei series can now rest easy, as Nintendo of Europe President Satoru Shibata just announced that Atlus’ Shin Megami Tensei IV will be heading to Europe later this year.

Who’s the publisher? Will it get a fancy special edition like the US? It’s a mystery.

So… the Japanese presentation appeared to call 3DS “A Link to the Past 2”. Nintendo of America isn’t doing the same just yet. We’ll just call this one “Zelda 3DS” for now. The game will be released this holiday.


A brand new Zelda title has been revealed on today’s Nintendo Direct.

It’s very much in the vein of A Link to the Past. The game features an overhead view and classic 2D gameplay.

We’ll have gameplay shortly.
