So… the Japanese presentation appeared to call 3DS “A Link to the Past 2”. Nintendo of America isn’t doing the same just yet. We’ll just call this one “Zelda 3DS” for now. The game will be released this holiday.
A brand new Zelda title has been revealed on today’s Nintendo Direct.
It’s very much in the vein of A Link to the Past. The game features an overhead view and classic 2D gameplay.
We’ll have gameplay shortly.

Nintendo revealed new details about next week’s Wii U system update during today’s Nintendo Direct.
As previously mentioned, the new firmware improves load times. It will also let users go straight into Wii mode by pressing the “B” button at startup, provides automatic updates, and a new standby feature that downloads and installs content while the system is turned off.
The Wii U update also marks the official start of the Virtual Console service. Excitebike, Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. 2, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and Ice Climbers are among the games coming to the service.
Wii U Panorama View available as a free downloadable demo next week.
Nintendo has done the unthinkable. After receiving various requests, it will be bringing EarthBound to the North American and European Wii U VC service. A release is planned for the end of this year
