Second Zelda: Skyward Sword reference in Ocarina of Time 3D
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a bunch of other neat easter eggs/game references as more people have chance to play the game. Not just for Skyward Sword, but possibly other titles as well. It’s been interesting to see what sort of changes and additions have made to Ocarina of Time 3D, including the small touches.

I’m guessing that this was Zelda Williams’ super secret Nintendo shoot?
Iwata on poor 3DS sales
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has admitted to investors that the 3DS is off to a slow start. It’s true that initial sales of the handheld were encouraging, though they’ve tailed off considerably since then.
Iwata believes that delaying development of certain software was to blame, as was the lack of online features. The Nintendo eShop launched just a few days ago.
Iwata explained that as more online features are readied and more significant titles are released, sales of the 3DS should pick up.
“So, first I think it’s fair to say that while Nintendo 3DS had a strong launch day, the results since then have not met our expectations.
By which I mean to say that although pre-orders for this system were very strong and initial impressions of this system were very positive, those early indicators stand in conflict with where the system is at today. So, I can’t say there are no issues at present.
