Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
PictoParty was expected out in Europe this week. In fact, Nintendo listed the game in its weekly download PR published earlier today. But developer Retroid Interactive has since said that PictoParty won’t be hitting the European Wii U eShop due to a bug found within the game.
We are truly sad to announce that #PictoParty won't be released on Thursday. This is due to a bug we found in the game. #PleaseUnderstand
— Retroid Interactive (@retroidofficial) January 4, 2016
Hope we didn't disappoint you, we strive to deliver the best quality possible, this version wasn't. The game will be released late January.

Blind gamer finishes Zelda: Ocarina of Time after five-year journey
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
Terry Garrett started playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time back in 2011. Five years later (with some breaks in between), he’s managed to finish the game.
Terry is actually blind, so it was no easy feat to complete the N64 classic. There’s plenty of trial and error involved as he’s only able to progress by listening to sounds signaling enemies, walls and the rest of the environment via two speakers.
Garrett thanked “all those who have stuck with me through this series even after it seemed like I was giving up.” Viewers shared walkthroughs, tips, and more that he could listen to in order to finish off Ocarina of Time.
If you’d like to see the entire journey, head on over to Garrett’s YouTube page here. We’ve also embedded the final video below.
