Konno demos Mario Kart Wii in 3D at GDC

At Hideki Konno’s GDC keynote earlier today, there was a demonstration featuring the long talked-about 3D Wii. Konno was able to adjust the 3D effect in a special version of Mario Kart Wii by controlling the nunchuck. Nothing’s changed, however – ultimately, it’s still a tech demo.

Believe it or not, Satoru Iwata wasn’t the only Nintendo employee to take the stage at GDC today. Hideki Konno delivered a keynote titled “Development Process of Nintendo 3DS” a few hours to discuss the new handheld. There wasn’t a whole lot of new information from the event, but you can check out some photos of the presentation above.
Expect more Zelda: Skyward Sword news at E3

Although it seemed almost completely certain that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword wouldn’t arrive in the first-half of 2011, there’s another reason to believe that it simply won’t happen. Reggie Fils-Aime told Kotaku that more information will be shared about the title at E3. Also, because Nintendo announced a June release for Ocarina of Time 3D, there’s no way that the company would ship another Zelda game so close. I’m willing to bet that we won’t be seeing Skyward Sword until the holiday season at this point.

Eurocom very pleased with GoldenEye 007 sales
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
This information comes from a Eurocom representative…
“Yes, immensely satisfied. We’re really happy that it’s reviewed well and that the public is continuing to enjoy playing it online. We’re satisified with the sales as we’re tracking very well.”
I’m very happy for GoldenEye, mainly because I was extremely surprised by the solid single-player adventure. It’s nice to see a third-party game succeed on Wii which received a generally favorable reception from critics, was marketed, and sold well in the end.
A couple of other Zelda tidbits

There were two related items other than the Skyward Sword trailer that Satoru Iwata briefly mentioned at his GDC keynote. First, he said that Ocarina of Time 3D will be available in June. Additionally, it was said that Shigeru Miyamoto is preparing… something for Zelda’s 25th anniversary. No word yet on what that is, but perhaps we’ll find out more at E3.
