While we got a small taste of what Zelda might be like on Wii U at last year’s E3 press conference, it will inevitably be a long while before we get a true look at Link’s first HD outing. But while the currently untitled Zelda Wii U is still a long way out, lucky for us, a terribly talented fan made his own trailer to tide us all over. Check it out, then leave your thoughts on this stunning fan achievement in the comments section.

Rhythm Heaven Fever: Angry Monkeys and Sad Peas
Posted by IGN on Jan 30, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Going to a demo is a funny thing in and of itself. You’ve often got a roomful of PR people and the like staring at you intently as you try to learn the ropes of the game they’re showing off in a relatively short amount of time, all the while attempting to gather your own thoughts on the title and walk away with a fair, complete and accurate impression. And when it comes to demoing a rhythm game, such as Rhythm Heaven Fever for Wii, it only makes matters worse. And by worse, I mean crushingly...
OPINION: Don’t Worry About Nintendo
Posted by IGN on Jan 30, 2012 | Leave a Comment
From a distance, Nintendo would appear to be in some serious trouble. After stumbling with the launch of the 3DS, being forced to prematurely cut the portable’s price tag, fumbling the introduction of Wii U, not offering enough quality titles for much of 2011 and forecasting $838 million in losses – a first ever for the company – for its current fiscal year many are correct in wondering what’s happening with the Big N. How did things get this bad?
Though grim on the surface,...

And we might not have that long to wait for more details, with Nomura stating that there is a “chance...

Official: Resident Evil Revelations Now $40
Posted by IGN on Jan 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment
A couple months ago, Capcom confirmed that its latest Nintendo 3DS title, Resident Evil Revelations, would cost $49.99 – $10 more than a typical release for the system. The publisher’s justification at the time was the game needed a 4GB cart versus the standard 2GB that 3DS games routinely come on. Today the publisher has reversed its pricing plan – Resident Evil Revelations will only cost $39.99 when it arrives in stores on February 7.
In its announcement of the new price, Capcom...

UPDATE: In an investor’s conference in Japan, Iwata also mentioned that the “final format” of Wii U will be shown at E3 2012. (No further clarification was given on this statement – it’s unknown if Iwata is actually referencing the system/controller design, or simply making a broader comment about the system’s final details.) The company also wants to organize a Japan-centric show for the region’s wholesalers and financial analysts who cannot attend E3.
