Yesterday, Nintendo finally unveiled ten minutes of gameplay from the highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom featuring series producer Eiji Aonuma. I am now joined by special guest and Breath of the Wild super fan, Myles, to discuss all the new mechanics, powers, enemies and more found in our newest video. It’s a long one, so strap in!

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom OLED

Original (3/28): Nintendo has officially revealed a special Switch bundle based on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Additionally, a special Switch Pro Controller is in the works.

The Switch system will launch ahead of the actual game, so you’ll be able to grab it on April 28. Priced at $359.99, the system bears a design which appears in the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, including the familiar Hylian Crest from the Legend of Zelda series on the front of the dock.

NPD Group has released a listing of the top ten best-selling games in the U.S. for the month of February 2023.

A few games that released last month managed to crack the chart. These include Octopath Traveler II (#10), Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe (#15), and Theatrhythm Final Bar Line (#20).

The results can be found below.

SEGA E3 2023

E3 was intended to make its grand return this year with its first in-person event since 2019, but there is reason to wonder if it will still be happening after more publishers such as SEGA are confirming that they won’t be present.

Yesterday, Ubisoft said it would be skipping E3. We also know that Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox won’t be involved. As far as SEGA, the company stated: “After careful consideration, we have decided not to participate in E3 2023 as an exhibitor. We look forward to sharing more information on announced and unannounced projects in the future.”

After it was teased yesterday, Nintendo has just published a brand new gameplay video for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Series producer Eiji Aonuma presented the footage.

Much has been made about the lack of news surrounding Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Although the Switch exclusive is just a couple of months away, Nintendo hadn’t shown much of it. Also not helping matters is that fans have only been treated to small glimpses with short trailers since the initial announcement in 2019. Thankfully, we now have a more extensive look.

3DS Wii U eShops closed

That’s officially a wrap on the 3DS and Wii U eShops – both stores are now closed for business. The two shops have been updated so that purchasing content is no longer possible. Also, if you were hoping to download free content like demos, you’ll be out of luck as well.

When Nintendo announced the closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops, the company merely stated: “This is part of the natural lifecycle for any product line as it becomes less used by consumers over time.” It did not provide any other explanations about the decision to end purchases and free downloads.

Nintendo will share ten minutes of gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on March 28, the company just announced. This will go live at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe.

Series producer Eiji Aonuma will be leading the “presentation”. Other than that, no further information has been provided.

Samba de Amigo Party Central Sonic the Hedgehog

SEGA shared more information about Samba de Amigo: Party Central today, and revealed that in-game content from the Sonic the Hedgehog series is coming to Switch exclusive.

Two energetic songs from the series will be included – specifically “Escape From the City” from Sonic Adventure 2 and “Fist Bump” from Sonic Forces. Additionally, a stage based on City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2, featuring the iconic Blue Blur himself shaking it alongside Amigo, will be available.

Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series Nintendo Direct

Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series launched on numerous platforms, but it turns out that development started out on Switch. That information comes from Ryo Ishida, the game’s producer in a recent issue of Lost In Cult.

Ishida also spoke about revealing Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series in a Nintendo Direct last year, stating that it’s “an excellent medium for spreading information and awareness among game fans” given the high level of anticipation for announcements. He said Bandai Namco was “very grateful for that opportunity.”

The big day of the 3DS and Wii U eShop closure is almost upon us, with Nintendo turning off purchases on March 27. Some owners of the two systems have been rushing to make some last-minute purchases. Many retailers are no longer carrying 3DS and Wii U games, and both platforms have their lineup of digital exclusives.

Have you been making any last-minute purchases on either system? Let us know in the comments below.
