More comments from Eiji Aonuma have come in through Miiverse pertaining to Zelda: A Link to the Past’s sequel on 3DS. He talked essentially about the vision behind the game and and how development is going without giving anything mind-blowing away:

“The world of Hyrule has been reborn in a highly realistic stereoscopic vision, which will feature a new story and new puzzles to be solved. The development for the successor of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is going smoothly, so, please look forward to it!”

“The day we’ll be seeing the successor is still further ahead, but for those of you who wish to contribute or show your support, please comment on the Wii U The Legend of Zelda series community [on Miiverse].”

– Eiji Aonuma, The Legend of Zelda series producer

Aonuma suggested that the game has been in the works since 2011 in a recent Japanese Nintendo Direct, which would indicate a 2 year development cycle for the game. The most recent handheld Zelda title– The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks— came out on DS in 2009.

Mass Effect writer confirms he’s writing for the new game in the series, says most folks probably didn’t mind the ending to ME3

“Right now I’m actually just working on Mass Effect 4 (I wouldn’t call it 4, I’d just call it the next Mass Effect). It’s coming out of Montreal.”

– Mass Effect series writer Mac Walters

Walters also shared that he believed most players did not have a problem with the ending to Mass Effect 3, but rather a smaller group of very loud individuals took to the internet and caused something of a ruckus about it. I think some folks might disagree with that, but who knows… maybe those folks are part of the minority he’s talking about!?
