3DS

Nintendo software producer and director Katsuya Eguchi on why Nintendo is keeping the basic Mii design from Wii to Wii U…

“Actually, the Miis that will be used on the Wii U are going to be the same as the ones on the 3DS. On the 3DS we tweaked [the design] a little bit. We added some features, and the Mii editor that’s on the 3DS is different from the one that’s on the Wii. Ultimately we’ll use those same Miis on the Wii U. Right now it looks the same as the ones on the Wii because we don’t have the ability to create Miis in the Wii U yet.”

Shutsugeki! Otometachi no Senjou 2: Ikusabana no Kizuna (PSP) – 5/5/6/5


I really feel like Skyward Sword is getting snubbed. Sure, perhaps it wasn’t the best game of E3, but no one is really acknowledging it or anything. I wasn’t at the trade show, though Austin seemed to greatly enjoy the game and the footage I saw had me impressed!

I suppose even Nintendo is interested in comparisons! The company posted the following image on their Twitter account, showing off the graphical upgrade in Ocarina of Time 3D:

Perhaps this would be a good time to ask who purchased the game so far. It’s nice that a lengthy, epic 3DS game is finally available to play.

Thanks to JT for the tip!


Talk about odd! An Ocarina of Time 3D player encountered this glitch after completing the game and creating a new file. Somehow, the Master Sword ended up in his possession. That’s one glitch I haven’t seen yet…
