Among these was the revelation that the Sand Wand from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks on DS will return in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds ! The trailer also ends on a tease that a certain arch-nemesis of Link will in fact make a return in this new game…Īfter the trailer, the newly-announced gold/black, Legend of Zelda-themed 3DS XL was shown off, complete with gorgeous triforce emblazoning on the rear of the 3D Screen. A new trailer was shown for the game, showcasing all sorts of new areas, features, dungeons, bosses and characters. Surprising absolutely no one, this 3DS-centric Direct began with this Fall’s remaining highly anticipated 3DS blockbuster, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Like the new Kirby game for 3DS, it’s likely because these games will not be releasing until well after Q1 2014.Īnyway, without further ado, let’s get started: That game wasn’t even mentioned in this Nintendo Direct either, nor was Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, again, you’re out of luck. Likewise, if you were hoping for updates, character reveals or anything else within next year’s highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. The game was not even mentioned during this Direct. It’s a bit cheesy, but undeniably charming.Īs usual, if you missed the presentation, or just want a recap of the highlights, Eggplante has provided a complete roundup of every bit of news that you need to know coming out of this Nintendo Direct! Before we go on however, do be advised that, if you were hoping for news on the newly-announced Kirby game coming to 3DS next year, teased at the conclusion of the previous Nintendo Direct, you’re out of luck. This Direct even comes with a cute intro that finally has Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime utter the infamous meme associated with him over an elevator speaker, “My body is ready!” It also contains a cameo by former IGN journalist, Audrey Drake, who is now employed by Nintendo. Focusing mainly on previously announced 3DS games, this Direct was entirely devoid of new game announcements, but contained plenty of news on 3DS titles leading through Q1 2014 that we already knew about, as well as a couple of nuggets for the Wii U crowd. Want to read more about it? There’s an interview with developer Yacht Club Games over on the Nintendo site.As we stand on the cusp of the holiday rush, Nintendo has streamed their latest Nintendo Direct broadcast for November. Those who buy it before 13th November get a bonus 3DS theme too. It’s destined to become one of the eShop’s greatest, this. Last, but not least, a quick reminder that Shovel Knight finally arrived on Wii U and 3DS last Friday. Perhaps we should have downplayed the emphasis on “highlights†in that last sentence. ![]() Fishdom (£4.49) for DSiWare sounds like a hard sell too – it’s yet another match-3 puzzler, albeit one that gives the chance to customise an aquarium.Īs for the week’s discounts, highlights include AiRace Xeno (£1.59), Balloon Pop Remix (£4.99) and VAN HELSING SNIPER ZX100 (£3.77). IGN’s review from 2000 is still up, where it was awarded an 8.0.Īlso on 3DS this week: catwalk simulator Top Model 3D (£24.99), puzzler PICROSS e5 (£4.50) and Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger 2 (£4.49) which is another one of those hidden object things. This was in fact both developed and published by Nintendo rather than Capcom. On 3DS VC meanwhile there’s Bionic Commando: Elite Forces (£4.49). Nintendo’s press release reminds us that those who have finished the first Golden Sun can transfer save data via a password. If none of these take your fancy then this week’s Virtual Console releases might – Castlevania Dracula X – aka Castlevania: Vampire’s Kiss – (£5.49) and GBA RPG sequel Golden Sun: The Lost Age (£6.29). The 3DS version – also due on the eShop this Friday – is rather expensive too, priced at £39.99. At £44.99 however you’d be best off pre-ordering a copy online. They’re joined by LEGO Batman 3: BEYOND GOTHAM. Paper Monsters Recut may be the better option, even if it does look a little generic: The protagonist walks at a leisurely saunter, which is in-keeping with the tone, but with fairly sparse landscapes doesn’t do much to keep your mind occupiedâ€. Our man Jake wasn’t too impressed when reviewing the iOS version of Tengami earlier this year: “It’s a slow moving game – literally. Tengami favours puzzles and has an oriental setting while Paper Monsters Recut is a colourful 2D platformer with 3D visuals (£5.49). On Wii U this week there’s a curiously timed pairing of papercraft adventures – point ‘n’ clicker Tengami (£6.99) and Paper Monsters Recut (£5.49). We’re also going to use this opportunity to remind Wii U owners to check their Nintendo Network Premium Account – the 31st December deadline for earning points is quickly looming. ![]() ![]() Top up your eShop accounts – it’s another busy week for new arrivals on Nintendo’s download services.
