If trusted Japanese blog Sinobi is to be believed, Nintendo won’t be shipping many copies of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D in Japan. The initial shipment batch is expected to be “extremely small” and stock availability will be limited for all retailers. To make matters worse, Nintendo is not taking game orders from any store.
For such a legendary franchise, this sounds odd, doesn’t it? One theory is that Nintendo is looking to avoid a quick price reduction, similar to the situation with The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. That title landed in bargain bins not too long after release.

Last month, Yuji Horii told Nintendo Power that the Dragon Quest X development team is finishing the last parts of the game. He also said that an announcement about the title can be expected later this year.
Although Square Enix still isn’t saying much about the project, apparently series composer Koichi Sugiyama told fans at a concert event early today that Dragon Quest X will be released next year. That information hasn’t been confirmed just yet, so hopefully the announcement that Horii promised will come sooner rather than later.
