Update: Back in stock! Place an order here.
Pre-orders for the Shulk amiibo have already sold out on GameStop. This was the only retailer selling the figure in the United States, so there’s currently no alternative store where reservations can be placed. We can only hope that GameStop opens pre-orders again before Shulk’s launch in February!

Koji Kondo’s favorite Zelda overworld theme is from Ocarina of Time
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Koji Kondo has been making Zelda music ever since the series’ first entry. As such, you might be curious as to which game takes the top spot as Kondo’s favorite overworld theme.
That honor goes to Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In an interview with Polygon, Kondo spoke about how he “broke it into 8-bar sections and there was some random phrasing that was implemented so that the melody would be changed up.” He hoped to create a track that players wouldn’t get “tired of listening to”.
Below are Kondo’s full words:
“That’s a tough question. Looking back, I think the version that we used in Ocarina of Time. …this is the overworld theme that we’re talking about here.”
“For Ocarina, we wanted something that didn’t play so often that players got tired of listening to it. So I broke it into 8-bar sections and there was some random phrasing that was implemented so that the melody would be changed up. Again, these are 8-bar sections that I created to all work together, but when combined, they change, and there’s some random stuff going on there. I really like the way that worked out.”

This Marth amiibo seemingly given two swords due to manufacturing error
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 35 Comments
Because of low stock, Marth has quickly become one of the rarest amiibo. But now we’ve apparently seen one Marth figure that could be the rarest of them all.
Marth typically holds just one sword. However, GameSpot was sent photos of an apparent amiibo that features two swords, due to a manufacturing error.
We can’t officially confirm the validity of the photos, so we’ll go ahead and label this a rumor just to be safe. Though GameSpot does say that it has seen three videos showing the defective Marth with his two swords. Assuming it’s true, this is definitely a sweet-looking Marth!

Above is a look at how many times “Zelda” has been tweeted over the past month or so. With the debut of Zelda Wii U’s gameplay at The Game Awards last week, tweets for Nintendo’s series peaked at roughly 39,000 messages. “Zelda” alone was actually tweeted 4,000 more times than “PSX” or “PlayStation Experience” (Sony’s event in Las Vegas last weekend).
