It’s not often that Nintendo talks about past Zelda games. Right now, all eyes are focused on Breath of the Wild. But in this month’s issue of RetroGamer, the magazine caught up with Zelda: A Link to the Past director Takashi Tezuka and script writer Kensuke Tanabe to look back on the classic game.

Most of the comments we have are from Tezuka, who talked about the game’s structure, scrapped idea, and more. Tanabe also chimed in with Tezuka at one point to talk about the advantages of working with the SNES at the time.

Head past the break for a rundown of Tezuka and Tanabe’s comments.

Some folks are already starting to get their hands on the new Mario Sports Superstars amiibo cards. An unboxing video for one of the packs can be found below.

A video has popped up showing some of the unlocks earned by scanning certain amiibo in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s far down the rabbit hole in terms of spoilers though, so we’ve put the video after the break. Proceed at your own risk!

Nintendo published an announcement on its website regarding action it is taking against the company MariCAR.

MariCAR is a service in Japan that offers a go-kart experience. Those who stop buy can dress up as their favorite character (such as Mario), play music of their choice, and drive through Tokyo.

Nintendo points out that MariCAR is an obvious abbreviation of Mario Kart. The company believes that the service is infringing upon its properties, and permission was not received. As a result, Nintendo is suing MariCAR.
