First 4 Figures is now taking pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Life Size Replica. It comes in deluxe full-color packaging, with a hand numbered base and authenticity card that allows you to purchase the same product number for future pieces in the Zelda Life Size Replica series.
The official dimensions are as follows:
Product Size:
Height – 25 inches (63cm)
Width – 23 inches (58cm)
Depth – 13 inches (33cm)Weight – 8KG
Similar to other First 4 Figures offerings, two versions of the statue are up for grabs. You can purchase the standard version ($354.99) or exclusive edition ($384.99). In the latter one, there are LEDs in the eyes of Majora’s Mask.
Note that it may take some time for orders to go through. First 4 Figures’ website is being hit with a ton of traffic, so it’s a bit slow.

The Shin Megami Tensei series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and to start off, Atlus has launched a special website for this occasion. At the moment, there’s pretty much nothing of interest to see on the website – except the logo above, which incorporates the release years of all four mainline Shin Megami Tensei games, alongside the word “next”. This seems to hint at Shin Megami Tensei V being released this year, or at the very least being announced.
Of course, we don’t know yet if this game (or any other potential games planned for this anniversary) will be on Nintendo platforms, but we will keep you updated if that’ll end up being the case.
This week’s Pokemon Shuffle update brings a new stage and a few repeats. The new stage features a Winking Cyndaquil and will run until January 17. There is also a safari featuring Pineco, Forretress, Ledyba, Ledian, Houndour, Houndoom, Noibat, Hoothoot and Noctowl. For the most part, this Safari is a repeat run, although Ledyba and Ledian are newly added. Finally, there are returning stages for Noivern, Feraligatr, Kingdra, and Ho-oh. All of these stages will run until the 24th.
The second Pokemon Sun/Moon Global Mission has ended. Unfortunately, the results aren’t any different from the first one. Just like the original mission, this one has also ended in failure.
Pokemon Sun/Moon players were tasked with using the Island Scan feature to catch or defeat 1 million Pokemon. Trainers can now receive 217 Festival Coins, but the reward would have been bigger had the mission been successful. Only 661,839 Pokemon were found during the eligible period.
Goichi Suda, best known as Suda51, is the famous video game developer that brought us Killer7 on GameCube and No More Heroes on Wii. The studio Grasshopper Manufacture, to which he’s the CEO, is now promoting the remake of the very first game they made – The Silver Case. VG247 had the opportunity to conduct an exclusive interview.
At the end of the conversation, Suda51 is asked about his plans in the near future, to which he replies that he’s excited about Switch:
“I want one. Nintendo always makes really cool, interesting hardware that gives us new things to do. On the Wii, not to brag, but I feel that I made a game that used that Wii technology in one of the best ways. I want to find a cool new way to play using what Switch offers.”
Maybe we’ll get a whole new game from Suda51 that takes advantage of the hybrid capabilities of Switch in the future. Remember, Grasshopper Manufacture is a confirmed partner…
Did you know Big Boos can be defeated by sliding down stairs in Super Mario World. It’s the only Boo in the game that can be taken down in that manner, so perhaps it was an oversight on the part of Nintendo’s developers.
Some players definitely knew about this, but there are plenty who were completely unaware of it. How many of you tried out that little secret back in the day?
IGN has posted a video of their first look at the Legend of Zelda: Art and Artifacts Limited Edition book that was revealed today. You can view the video below.
If the description for the Nintendo Switch on GameStop’s website is to be believed, the console has a Pokemon game in its future.
On their websites page for the Nintendo Switch, GameStop has made a rather bold claim about what future owners will be doing once they get their hands on the console. According to GameSpot, players will be able to play “Skyrim on the go, and Pokemon at home.”
Nintendo Switch games will include new title offerings from Mario, Splatoon, Zelda, the NBA and more! You will even be able to play Skyrim on the go, or Pokemon at home with the Nintendo Switch. The unit will also include a number of handy, interchangeable Nintendo Switch accessories.
This is by no means an official announcement, and it would be wise to wait until Thursday to be sure about this. Considering there hasn’t ever been a mainline Pokemon game on a Nintendo home console, this would be very big news to leak out in an advertising slip up. That being said, it’s certainly an exciting prospect.

Nintendo didn’t have any new concept art to share from Zelda: Breath of the Wild last week, but we do have a new image today. Get a look at today’s image showing the outfit of a worker in Hyrule above.
