Just prior to Nintendo’s E3 2012 conference, artists Pablo Belmonte and Paco Martínez released a video of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask opening remade in high-definition. Belmonte and Martínez have now returned with a brand new video showing a recreation of various assets, translating work into stereoscopic 3D, and more.

What exactly the two fans are planning isn’t entirely clear at present. They’re calling this a “project”. Are they developing a fan-made PC remake of Majora’s Mask? Or something more?

There was a report earlier this year that Spike Chunsoft was looking for a partner to bring Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind to the west. ShonenGameZ writes that Bandai Namco was actually pitched this very idea, but the deal was ultimately dropped. What happened between the two sides is unknown.

ShonenGameZ spoke with Bandai Namco about Project X Zone’s overseas sales as well. The site reports, “they told me that it sold ten times better than what they expected.” Bandai Namco also said they would love to see a sequel.

He talks about how Miyamoto originally approached him with the idea when developing Brawl, Pac-Man’s reveal at E3, the character’s design, and much more.

You’ll find the full translation below:

When transferring content from a Wii to Wii U, an animation is shown involving Pikmin. Nintendo implemented something similar when moving content between Wii U consoles.

Rather than Pikmin, the Wii U to Wii U transfer animation features little robots that make similar noises. There’s also a small story – one robot is missing, so one of the guards goes searching for him.

You’ve got to love the sort of effort Nintendo puts into these things!

Yacht Club’s Nick Wozniak also commented on Shovel Knight’s sales, stating: “Across all platforms it’s exceeding expectations.”
