This is very, very neat. It combines the style of Link’s Awakening while incorporating elements of Skyward Sword. What do you guys think about it?

Thanks to Sakura for the tip!

The OFLC has added new listings for Prince of Persia and Rayman. Prince of Persia was rated for both Wii and 3DS while Rayman was rated only for Nintendo’s handheld.

It’s very possible that these listings are related to upcoming Virtual Console releases. We’ll let you know if Ubisoft says anything official.

Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has shared his favorite dungeon of Skyward Sword. A certain gameplay element in Lanayru Mine makes this area his favorite.

Aonuma said:

“There is a part where you use an item called the Timeshift Stone that enables you to switch between the past and present. I think that this is something that can only be done in games and I believe it utilises the interactive quality of games brilliantly.”

Do any of you have a favorite dungeon?

Usually we don’t see comparisons like this. It’s an odd, yet interesting way to compare the two games…

Nintendo is now taking pre-orders for Xenoblade Chronicles on their official website. The game will be sold only through Nintendo and GameStop.

We’ve got a ways to go before Xenoblade is ready, but you might as well put down some money for the game if you have even a tiny bit of interest in it. Believe me, it’s absolutely fantastic.

You can pre-order Xenoblade Chronicles here.
