We knew that Marth would be back on store shelves sometime this year thanks to an announcement made during the most recent Nintendo Direct. Today, Nintendo shared a specific timeframe as to when the restock is taking place.
Those living in North America will be able to get their hands on Marth once again in late April. Nintendo confirmed this on Twitter through the following message:

[Feature] Will we ever see a remake of the original The Legend of Zelda?
Posted on 10 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in Features, Game of the Month | 25 Comments
With the recent release of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, it makes me wonder: will we ever get a remake of the original The Legend of Zelda? Where did the story truly begin for our beloved Zelda and green clad hero Link? Some say although A Link to the Past was not the first in the series, it is where the story should have began. If that is your belief you might feel we already saw that remake with the previous installment in the Zelda franchise, A Link Between Worlds.
For me however, the journey truly began with that first game. Looking back now, I don’t believe that I realized how truly amazing the game was, or how after so much time had past that I would still love it to this day. Even though I remember being captivated from the moment I heard the first notes of the opening song, I never realized how epic an adventure it would turn out to be.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments
This month’s issue of Nintendo Dream has a rather large interview with Eiji Aonuma, longtime producer of the Zelda series. While the Japanese magazine asked Aonuma about a variety of topics, Majora’s Mask was the main focus. Aonuma talked about the origins of the Majora and Termina names, the Mirror Shield’s connection to a mask owned by the Happy Mask Salesman, and more.
Head past the break for our full translation. The discussion is definitely interesting!
