New Zelda Games for 3DS
Nintendo Releases Details on “Link”ed Zelda Games – Zelda Oracle of Ages and Zelda Oracle of Seasons
During yesterday’s May Nintendo update, new information was given on two new Zelda titles for Nintendo 3DS: Zelda Oracle of Ages and Zelda Oracle of Seasons.
The cool part about the games is, while each is a stand alone game, additional content is created when the two games are linked together. The system will “Link” (pun intended) the two games and add additional content, including a different final boss for the linked games.
Games do more when played together – link system with additional content, inc diff final boss
The two games will be released on May 30th, 2013 for the 3DS and virtual console service. The games will send for $5.99 each in Nintendo’s eShop. However, if you buy both games between May 30th and June 24th, they will be $4.99 each, meaning you get both games for under ten dollars.

New Super Mario Bros Wii U Packs a Social Punch
Nintendo’s Pre-E3 2012 conference today was chock full of design philosophy information. If you ever looked at Wii U and wondered, “What the hell are they thinking?”–well, now you know. While demonstrating their very interesting new Miiverse online service, at least one interesting screenshot revealed what looked an awful lot like an HD, Miiverse-integrated New Super Mario Bros Wii U. In the screenshot (featured image of this post), we can see an overworld map that’s very reminiscent of previous Super Mario Bros games. Mushroom houses? Check. Roads connecting worlds? Check. Green pipes to secret places rising out of the earth for no apparent reason? Check. Yeah, this is a new New Super Mario Bros game. More after the break!
