Lots of Zelda talk, Breath of the Wild, original planning documents at 30th anniversary concert in Japan
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch, Wii U | 14 Comments
This past weekend, Nintendo hosted a special 30th anniversary Zelda concert in Kyoto, Japan. It was a big event as key staff involved with the series were present – Shigeru Miyamoto, Eiji Aonuma, Takashi Tezuka, and Koji Kondo. Famitsu shared an in-depth report of what occurred and what was said.
Voice actress Ruriko Aoki hosted the concert. She was actually planning on buying a ticket for the event in Nagoya, and even asked her agency to free up her schedule. However, she was eventually told that she got the job for this concert. Series producer Eiji Aonuma also appeared and introduced Aoki. The two showed up together during a Niconico Majora’s Mask 3D live stream last year, and since she’s a big fan of Zelda, he asked her to be the MC.

Easter egg in new LEGO Dimensions pack pokes fun at Ghostbusters movie controversy
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 14 Comments
Warner Bros. released a bunch of new LEGO Dimensions packs last week, including one based on Ghostbusters. Eurogamer has now come across an entertaining Easter egg relating to the film.
Before the new Ghostbusters movie hit theaters, it saw quite the fan backlash. Some people weren’t happy that the franchise was receiving a new film, as they felt the original two films were fine as is. Others weren’t pleased that the team was changed from all male to all female.
In LEGO Dimensions’ new pack, writer and director Paul Feig is hiding in the first level. After unlocking him from a cupboard, he says: “I wonder if they’d be mad if I remade ‘Back to the Future’.” That’s incredibly unlikely to happen, though Feig has joked about remaking Back to the Future as a way of having fun with some of the Ghostbusters internet trolls.
