Rumor: Zelda Wii details
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 14 Comments
Even though I always enjoy this time of year, the amount of rumors published on gaming websites skyrockets to astronomical levels as a result of E3. There have already been a number of Zelda Wii-related rumors over the last few months, but I’ve been extremely hesitant to post them since Nintendo tends to keep secrets quiet. Since E3 is on the horizon, though, we might as well have a bit of fun, right? The “details” about Zelda Wii below have been labeled as “confirmed” by Zelda Informer, but I’m not believing anything until Tuesday!
– The game will just be called “The Legend of Zelda”
– Takes place several hundred years before Ocarina of Time, how the Master Sword was created
– Character’s name from the art is Zordiana
– Hookshot returning, has new abilities, has the grappling ability from Wind Waker, doesn’t use MotionPlus
– Somtimes “draw” a symbol on a door with your sword to open it
– Bow controls similar to that of Wii Sports Resort
– Two difficulty levels, though Miyamoto was against it, Normal and Hero modes, tougher enemies and no “Super Guide” in Hero mode
– On-stage demo at E3, playable, is an ice “dungeon”, you won’t notice when you’re in a dungeon as it’ll be a smooth transition, there will be dungeons with no bosses and vise versa

Rumor: Retro Studios working on new Donkey Kong game
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 13 Comments
Retro Studios has already worked on a major Nintendo franchise in Metroid and now rumor has it that the company has moved on to Donkey Kong. That’s all IGN – who initially reported the story – seems to know, but we’re just a few days away from finding out if the nebulous speculation is spot on.
Although Retro Studios released a title last year, it was only a remake of the Prime titles bundled into one package. Alongside it, many had logically assumed that they were working on a bigger, original project as well. Last year, Michael Kelbaugh said “I think you’ll be very excited when you find out what we’re working on.” Does the prospect of a Retro Studios-made title excite you?
Introducing Gaming Everything
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Site updates | 14 Comments
We have some very important site news to bring to you today! Fortunately, it comes just in time for E3.
I’d definitely say that this is the biggest site update we’ve had since Nintendo Everything opened in 2007. Looking back at that year and thinking about where we are today, it’s almost impossible for me to believe where we’re at now and how far we’ve come. A lot has changed on the site in terms of what news we bring you, how we bring it to you, and how often we bring it to you.
Over the last few months, I’ve been thinking about the success of the site. Not in terms of viewership, but instead about how we’ve managed to accomplish our goal of bringing Nintendo fans the most important Nintendo news on a consistent basis and in a passionate way.

Rumor: Level-5 to fully unveil Time Travelers at E3
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 5 Comments
In April, Professor Layton developer Level-5 announced their latest project in Famitsu called Time Travelers. The company only decided to share only a few select details about the game as well as a piece of art.
However, based on a comment posted on Jiro Ishii’s Twitter account, it seems likely that the title will receive a full unveiling at E3. Ishii, the game’s director, said that his preparations are complete and that it’s been ten years since he last visited Los Angeles. Time Travelers may very well be in development for the 3DS, as Level-5 CEO previously stated that it would be coming to “hardware that’s not yet in this world.”

Update: Added slips from Metroid: Other M, Xenoblade, and another one from The Last Story, courtesy of Inside-Games.
Interestingly, this slip is included in every copy of Xenoblade along with another promo for Metroid: Other M. Hopefully this means the game isn’t too far away from a release!
