Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- The latest issue of Jump reveals that there will be a ‘big Pokémon surprise’ at next month’s Jump Fiesta event. Jump Festa will be held on December 17th and 18th at Makuhari Messe in Japan. 

More After the Break...

Any guesses as to what the Pokémon surprise will be?


2.- Gamers have flocked to Metacritic to give their impressions of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and the results are mixed. 

At the time of writing this blog post there have been seventy-seven positive reviews, two mixed reviews and nine negative reviews. Clearly the majority of people who have rated the game haven’t even finished it, but that’s another story.

Nintendo of America has started a new Youtube series which introduces The Legend of Zelda to those that are new to the franchise. Whilst the first video doesn’t actually go into much detail, a second video should be uploaded in the coming days. Is everyone enjoying The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword?

BitBlock have posted a video showcasing just how accurate the controls are in The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. The footage clearly counteracts comments from theGameSpot review which took issue with the motion sensing controls. As you can see from the video the 1:1 is near on perfect.

3.- It is now possible to preorder the limited edition 3DS that celebrates the 25th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda (which is bundled with Ocarina of Time 3D) from Best Buy. You can click here to find the product page.

There are more scans from V Jump magazine that show off Kingdom Hearts 3D that you can check out after the break. They show two of the game’s worlds, Pinocchio and Hunchback of Notre Dame and there should be detailed information coming on Tuesday.

There are a ton of new screenshots from Sonic Generations that show off various menus in the game and also give us a better look at the beginning of the game and the Emerald Coast stage.

4.- During Nintendo World Reports Live Podcast for Child’s Play one of the participants who was privy to Nintendo’s inner workings during the Gamecube era revealed that DICE originally approached Nintendo with Battlefield and proposed it as a Nintendo exclusive. Nintendo were apparently very excited about the game but it never came into existence because of the Gamecube’s basically non-existent online infrastructure.
