Nintendo says there’s a big advertising push for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D in the UK, want “everyone” to know that DK is back

“Donkey Kong titles have always been enjoyed by all ages for generations and we expect this one to be no different.”
– Nintendo UK product manager, Roger Langford
It’s interesting: Initially this sounds like regular old PR talk, but if you think about it, Donkey Kong isn’t really the character that’s in the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to Nintendo. Any kid who’s thinking about Donkey Kong probably has a reference point of something like Smash Bros. or (even less likely) Donkey Kong in arcades or on the Wii virtual console. Most people don’t know that the ape has starred in some of the best platformers of our time, and I think that’s definitely worth spreading the word about!

Madden NFL 25 officially skipping Wii U, becomes first Madden to skip Nintendo platforms since 1991
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
EA never confirmed Madden NFL 25 for Wii U when the title was officially announced, but there was hope that it could be happening further down the line. As it turns out, the publisher simply has no plans to bring the latest Madden NFL to Nintendo’s console.
A statement sent out by EA reads:
“We will not be releasing a Wii U version of Madden NFL in 2013. However, we have a strong partnership with Nintendo and will continue to evaluate opportunities for delivering additional Madden NFL products for Nintendo fans in the future.”
Amazingly, Madden NFL 25 marks the first entry to be skipping Nintendo platforms since 1991. EA must have been extremely disappointed with Madden NFL 13’s sales to ditch the system for this year’s release.

Aonuma confirms light/dark world for Zelda’s new 3DS entry, reveals idea behind Link’s ability to turn into a drawing
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma opened up about the new Link to the Past 3DS follow-up while speaking with CNET recently.
Comparing the entry with some of the more recent Zeldas, Aonuma said “it certainly feels different from our [the developer’s] point of view.” Aonuma didn’t elaborate too much beyond this, but noted that the chance to create a brand new Zelda for the 3DS brought about a blank canvas. It was this opportunity that led to the decision of a return to the classic top-down style.
