We’ve been hearing a lot about how difficult it’s been to track down a physical copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Amazon
, for instance, is no longer selling copies directly, and third-parties are asking for ridiculous prices ($74 and higher).
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D’s rarity may come down to the fact that retail copies are no longer being produced. If retailer Play-Asia is to be believed, the game’s physical version has been discontinued. If true, the only way to pick up Ocarina of Time 3D at a fair price is through the digital version on the eShop.

Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley’s first wave of downloadable content is out now, and it’s free. The DLC can be obtained right from the game without any hassle.
Natsume has added new outfits and hairstyles with today’s DLC. There are three outfits for the female and male protagonists, including a new Dairy Farmer getup for each. Content can be accessed from a player’s dresser.
In the future, Natsume is planning on adding new items to customize the Lost Valley itself, along with new crops, recipes, and more. The company also teased in its announcement today: “There’s even some whispers that new love is in the air, but whether these rumors are true remain to be seen!”

Imagos Softworks recently launched a Kickstarter for “Starr Mazer”. The indie game, which features point-and-click adventure gameplay and shoot ’em up segments, will be made if funds reach $160,000. Over $60,000 has already been raised.
We’re letting you know about Starr Mazer since its developer has significant interest in bringing the game to both 3DS and Wii U. In fact, a Wii U stretch goal should be announced sometime this week.
@nvsblgamer @TronKnotts Let me clarify: we get enough funding to port it to 3DS, it's going to 3DS. We want it everywhere, especially 3DS.

Promo… commercial… whatever this is. It’s awesome. A neat way to promote Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D for sure!
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric’s update is huge – as in 1GB huge. So what exactly is included in the massive patch? We did hear about a few things recently, but Sonic Stadium has offered further information as to why the update is so big.
Here’s what the site shared:
I’ve been meaning to get around to this for some time now, and I’ve finally had the opportunity to do so. What’s included in the gallery above are several New Year’s greeting cards from Nintendo developers (via Nintendo Dream’s February issue). The images feature Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, and much more. We also threw in some cards that aren’t Nintendo-based like Youkai Watch and Sonic. All of the artwork is quite nice!
