The remake of Donkey Kong Country Returns is just a few weeks away from being on store shelves, but what does the game showcase that wasn’t already in the Wii version?

Author: Spencer

Earlier this year, Nintendo announced that they were hard at work on re-releasing their hit Wii game Donkey Kong Country Returns for the 3DS, not surprisingly titled Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. The game is essentially a carbon copy port of the Wii version aside from a few new additions explained after the break, but all the core levels and gameplay mechanics have been retained.

So, what can players expect from this handheld version? Hit the jump to find out.

The announcement of “A Link to the Past 2” brings with it many questions, but through the cloud of speculation we can see that some details about the game are more important than others.

Author: Jack

The grand finale in this past, highly acclaimed Nintendo Direct was quite the doozy– not only will there be a brand-spankin’-new Zelda game for 3DS out in only six to eight months, it will also be a successor to the beloved A Link to the Past. But what exactly do we know about it? Is it a direct sequel? Is it the same game remade? Is it brand new? We’ve got 5 of the biggest things you can expect out of this title, right here on NintendoEverything!

If you want to play along and discuss during the week, check out our forum thread here. If you missed out on the first week but you still want to participate, you’re looking at a total of about 20 hours of game-time this week to catch up!

Onwards to the end of the game, everybody! Regardless of where you ended up last week, we’re powering through to the very end and we’ll do our discussion on the podcast this coming weekend. Best of luck! Be sure to share your thoughts via forums or email.

Also, please do not send us emails discussing portions of the game beyond where the book club is. We want to avoid spoilers and we don’t want to feel unable to answer your questions/respond to your comments, so if you’ve gotten ahead of everyone (which is fine!) do your best to only talk about the parts that we’ve all agreed upon. :]

Hit the break for info on how to participate in a discussion, plus other ‘Frequently Asked Questions’!

Yes, the game is fantastic. But why isn’t anyone talking about what’s wrong with it?

Author: Austin

The time has probably long since past during which a review of Fire Emblem: Awakening would have been suitable, so instead of going through the paces of telling you what you need to know in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to purchase the game, I’ll start off here with this: It’s probably the best game on 3DS, and even those with a distaste for the franchise’s previous entries will find something to like about it. If you haven’t played the game yet, please do so before reading what I’m about to write, because what I’m about to write will be filled with minor spoilers and negative thoughts about a game that is best played before hearing either of those things!

This is part one of a two or three part series on Awakening in which I’ll be doing my best to intelligently discuss some of the finer points of the game. These are things that everyone I’ve talked to has neglected to mention exist, either out of blind adoration for the title (which is fine– everyone gets that way about some games), or because they simply didn’t notice them.

Hit the break for the actual thing.

So at the very beginning of this video I say the whole “This episode is brought to you by thing”, but you’ll notice that there are no ZombiU images. Somehow I just forgot to add them, so… we’re gonna hope I didn’t forget anything else! That’s what you get when you stay up until 7AM editing in order to get the game up on a relevant date.

Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword possess very different art styles. Whereas Twilight Princess is rather dark and brown to fit the atmosphere, you could say that Skyward Sword is much more colorful.

One passionate fan has come up with an intriguing mix of the two games. GBAtemp member “disbala” is working on a Twilight Princess texture pack (requires Dolphin) that incorporates the style of Skyward Sword.

While not complete, you can already see how noticeably different Twilight Princess looks with Skyward Sword’s style. You can find a few example shots above.

Thanks to Yono for the tip.

Just a quick note for those playing Super Mario RPG alongside us for the NintendoEverything Book Club: We’re only going to be getting the sixth Star this week, so if you’re struggling to try and get the seventh, you may cease! The reason for this is two-fold:

1) The sixth one takes a really long time to get.

2) The seventh is tied to the final boss, which we want to do on a separate day.

Thanks!

It looks interesting, if anything.

This is a two question survey that requires no signing up, accounts, clicking through ads, or anything. Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.

Thanks very much. As stated above the question for you guys this week is “How do you feel about Shadow of the Eternals?”
