The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is a sequel to A Link to the Past in every sense of the word. There are plenty of new gameplay elements, of course. But the overworld is mostly the same, and producer Eiji Aonuma has confirmed that the title will include arrangements from the SNES title.
This is something that Aonuma talked about in the latest issue of ONM. He said:
“We will be using arrangements of music from A Link to the Past, since this is a sequel to that game, and we are also trying to make the music sound like it’s played on real instruments. People who know the original will definitely be able to tell and be happy about it, while newcomers will also be able to enjoy it.”
Thanks to joclo for the tip.
Famitsu recently held one of its regular LIVE shows, where a significant amount of Bravely Default: For the Sequel footage was shown. We managed to capture the full video – it’s posted above. You can get a look at improvements made to the battle system, general areas, and there’s even a brief bit towards the end showing off the different languages (like English voiceovers) included in the game.
This one came just a tad late because of some computer trouble (and that pesky The Wonderful 101 review!), but I think it actually turned out kind of awesome. Check it out if you’ve got the time. :]
Mario Kart 8 won’t be out until early next year, but most major retailers are taking pre-orders for the game. You can reserve it at Amazon

Of Mario Kart 8’s launch, we’ve only heard that Nintendo intends to ship the game in spring 2014. That means, at the earliest, we’ll be seeing it in late March.
