This is what Zelda: Skyward Sword would look like if it was made for Game Boy

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments

This is very, very neat. It combines the style of Link’s Awakening while incorporating elements of Skyward Sword. What do you guys think about it?

The return of the cloud bush in Mario Kart 7

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

It’s now well-known that the clouds and bushes in Super Mario Bros. use the same sprite. The two are only separated by their color – of course, the clouds are white while the bushes are green. Other than that, they’re entirely the same.

It seems as though the “cloud bush” has made a return in Mario Kart 7. As you can see in the image below, the clouds and bushes appear to be the same.

You can see this for yourself in the Piranha Plant Pipeway track.

Aonuma chooses his favorite dungeon in Zelda: Skyward Sword

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has shared his favorite dungeon of Skyward Sword. A certain gameplay element in Lanayru Mine makes this area his favorite.

Aonuma said:

“There is a part where you use an item called the Timeshift Stone that enables you to switch between the past and present. I think that this is something that can only be done in games and I believe it utilises the interactive quality of games brilliantly.”

Do any of you have a favorite dungeon?
