Famitsu has returned with a plethora of reviews following a two week hiatus. I can confirm that the scores below are the real deal… unlike last week! Some of the reviews are a bit old, but that is to be expected since the magazine took a couple of weeks off.

Rumor: Wii price cut on May 15

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 0 comments

The Wii will be seeing a price reduction sooner rather than later, if Engadget is to be believed. The website reports, via a “trusted source”, that the console will only cost $150 starting May 15. This would make sense considering the system’s sluggish sales recently, not to mention that analysts have been calling for a price cut left and right. With no high-profile titles on the way (unless you want to count Wii Play: Motion), Nintendo isn’t left with a whole lot of options.

According to a OFLC rating for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Nintendo themselves are not handling the project. The listing indicates that Grezzo is the developer behind the title. Grezzo most notably created Line Attack Heroes for Wii, which was released on Japanese WiiWare last year.

2th April 2011 – Hot on the heels of the European launch of the Nintendo 3DS system, which launched with thirteen full-3D games on 25th March, the next few months are going to prove just as busy for 3D gaming fans!
17th June 2011 sees one of the most acclaimed instalments in Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series making its way onto Nintendo 3DS. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a re-mastered version of the classic Nintendo 64 title. Originally released worldwide in 1998, the game has sold over 7.6 million copies and is considered one of the most critically acclaimed games in history.
This new edition features enhanced graphics that depict the adventures of the heroic Link in captivating detail. Fans of the series can once again help Link on his quest to save Hyrule from the evil Ganondorf, by exploring many dungeons, temples and using the titular ocarina to aid him on his quest – but this time all in 3D and all without the need for special glasses. The game now also takes advantage of the gyro sensor inside the Nintendo 3DS system: by physically moving the system players are enabled to explore and look around with a first-person view. This edition has been localised into 5 European languages which includes English, French, German and for the first time ever the game has also been localised into Spanish and Italian.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword still arriving this year

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

Although The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was not listed on Nintendo’s press release for second quarter releases, the game is still on track for this year. Nintendo previously said that Ocarina of Time 3D will launch first and Skyword Sword will ship at a later date. It does appear, however, that the game will not release in early 2011 despite Eiji Aonuma’s original goal. If I had to guess, I’d say that Skyward Sword won’t be out until the holidays.
