Aonuma hasn’t beaten the original Zelda, latched on to the series with A Link to the Past
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma…
“I’ve never actually finished it. I almost feel like there’s still no game more difficult than it. Every time I try to play it I end up getting ‘Game Over’ a few too many times and giving up partway through. Certainly after playing the original Zelda for the first time, I didn’t ever think that I wanted to make a game like that.”
Aonuma also discussed how A Link to the Past impacted his interest in the franchise…
“That sense of exploration of the world itself was really where I latched on to the series.”
Aonuma said that the first title he directed, Marvelous, was influenced by his appreciation for A Link to the Past. After seeing his game, Shigeru Miyamoto took interest in Aonuma and these series of events led to Aonuma joining the Zelda team.

“Attention Shantae fans! Keep an eye on TouchArcade for a very special announcement, coming soon!” – WayForward website
Oh man… I’d explode with joy if a third Shantae game was revealed for the 3DS eShop. Something tells me that Risky’s Revenge is heading to the iPhone though…
Zelda: Skyward Sword’s Siren Realm sees a small name change
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
While it’s not the biggest update in the world, we do have a small piece of news on Zelda: Skyward Sword. The game’s Siren Realm has a new name. An editor who worked on the Game Informer article for the magazine’s upcoming issue has said that the world is now called the Silent Realm.
We first heard about the Silent Realm a few months ago when the title made its second appearance at E3. During these sections, Link will not be able to use his sword. Guardians will chase the hero and are capable of taking him out with just one hit. Players will need to collect tear drops in order to leave the area.
The Siren Realm is probably best described as a mix of Twilight Princess’ tears of light quests and Phantom Hourglass’ Phantoms that are found in the Temple of the Ocean King.
Dragon Quest X has been in development for six years
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
There’s no question that Dragon Quest X has been in the works for several years. Square Enix announced the title back in 2008, but development must have started before then.
As it turns out, Square Enix has been making the game for much longer than originally thought. According to an ex-Square Enix employee, its development has already passed the six year mark.
Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!
