The Game Awards 2017 to be held on December 7
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
The Game Awards are returning for a fourth consecutive year. Show creator Geoff Keighley announced that the 2017 edition will air on December 7 in Los Angeles.
Nintendo’s activities at The Game Awards have varied, but the company generally tends to be a part of the show. Last year, a new trailer and gameplay video for Zelda: Breath of the Wild debuted. We’ll have to wait and see if Nintendo brings along something new to this year’s show as well.

You can definitely count on Miyamoto showing off Super Mario Odyssey. He was around for a part of the Treehouse stream last year for Zelda: Breath of the Wild, so you’ll likely see him making an appearance during this year’s feed as well.

[Let’s Talk] E3 2017 hopes and dreams
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Let's Talk | 97 Comments
E3 is by far the biggest gaming event of the year. It’s true that Nintendo Directs often deliver significant news, but E3 tends to be where the most important announcements and reveals take place – at least across the industry as a whole. All eyes are always on each of the major platform holders to see what they have in store for the months and years ahead.
After a slightly nontraditional – but still successful – E3 in 2016, we’re getting a more standard format from Nintendo this time around. Nintendo is returning to video presentations with its broadcast on Tuesday. Treehouse will be back as well for three days of streaming (up from two days last year). And if that wasn’t enough, three separate tournaments are happening: one for Splatoon 2, another for ARMS, and a final one for Pokken Tournament DX.
E3 is always where people can dream big. And since we’re just a few days out from the expo, we want to hear from all of you. What do you want to see Nintendo announce at E3? What are your realistic expectations, and dreams that are a bit further out there? Even if you simply want to bathe in the hype that is E3, that’s fine as well! Be sure to share your thoughts with us below.
Highlights from last week’s topic: What are you playing? – June 2017

First Shantae figure to be sold at Anime Expo 2017
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 10 Comments
WayForward recently unveiled the very first figure featuring Shantae. Unfortunately, its availability could possibly be limited.
WayForward’s Matt Bozon put out a message yesterday confirming that the figure will be sold at Anime Expo 2017. Quantities are also expected to be limited.
Now… what if you’re not attending Anime Expo? Bozon says it’ll be up to distributor Volks to sell it online through its store. If the Shantae figure sells well at Anime Expo, more units could potentially be produced.

Aonuma goes in-depth on Zelda: Breath of the Wild, franchise in general in huge interview

If you’re looking for some good Zelda reading material, you may want to read up on a new interview published by Denfaminicogamer. The site shared a huge discussion conducted between series producer Eiji Aonuma and Square Enix’s Jin Fujisawa, who has been overseeing the Dragon Quest series. Much of the talk is about Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the franchise in general. I don’t think we could even begin to do the interview justice by posting a summary or excerpts here, so read up on the full interview on this page if you’re interested.
