3DS

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D has officially launched in Japan. Nintendo of Europe is honoring the game’s release by adding a 3D effect and Hyrule Field music to their official website. I’m sure it’s a temporary thing, so if interested, you may want to check it out now.

There’s not a whole lot of new information on the site, but you might want to keep it bookmarked for future reference. It’ll be updated with additional content as the months go by.

Did you know that European 3DS owners are still waiting for E3 game trailers? That’s disappointing, as North American and Japanese fans have had access to the videos since the first day of Nintendo’s conference. But, fear not! The trailers are on the way.

A European customer service rep provided the following information:

“The downloadable and promotional content available on Nintendo eShop and its scheduling vary on a regional basis. However, we can confirm that The Green Lantern 3D trailer from Warner Bros is now available in the UK and is coming to additional European markets soon. The E3 special movies will also be coming to consumers in Europe soon.”

During E3 week, GameSpot Australia sat down with Nintendo’s Yoshiaki Koizumi to discuss Super Mario 3D. Koizumi commented on a number of topics, including hint systems, fan input, mobile games, and even the Wii U briefly. Read on below for all of the details.

Yoshiaki Koizumi on Super Mario 3D playing a lot with perspective/3D…

“The effect of things coming from the background to the foreground was definitely something we wanted to use specifically because we could present it in 3D. When you’re presenting someone with a fictional world, and you’re trying to help him grasp how to move objects around inside of it, it was always very difficult, particularly on 2D displays, to show something coming from the background toward you. But now, we’ve gotten away from that taboo in development, and we now feel like we can use that effect more easily.

“As for other effects, we’re thinking of how objects will move in a 3D game and how they will move within a 3D display. We’re thinking about several of them, but I’m afraid I can’t reveal anything at this time.”
