According to Nintendo’s assistant PR manager David Young; The 3DS remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will include the remixed and expanded content from the Master Quest version of the game.
Even 13 years after it’s release, Ocarina of Time is still a system seller and this is just icing on the cake.
Today during Nintendo's GDC keynote Satoru Iwata announced a new Mario title is in the works for the 3DS. I think the only surprise here is that it took this long to announce it.
No date or gameplay information was given. But he did say that while the logo may not be the final version the tail would be explained. I think return of the raccoon suite would be a safe bet though.
The already awesome action RPG Magicka is getting a Vietnam themed add-on.
Wizards in Vietnam! Need anything else be said?
A few days ago Atlus PR said that Catherine was to remain a Japanese exclusive… THEY LIED!
Atlus has now confirmed that this magnificently bizarre game will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime in summer 2011.
I have played video games my entire life, but it was not until the early 2000’s that I really started doing it as more than a casual pass time. It was around then that I got my first 3d capable PC. There were four games that I spent unholy amounts of time playing. They were Morrowind, Half-Life, Delta Force, and lastly Serious Sam.
I was in Wal-mart burning time in the games section, waiting while my family shopped when I happened upon it. Only $10 at the time it was one of the cheapest PC games I had ever seen.
It had no complexity, no coherent story, not a second of it ever taken seriously. Just a lot of really big guns, goofy one-liners, and the largest horde of bad guys I had ever seen! It was love at first play. Since then it is the only one of those four games that I have kept installed on every Pc that I have ever owned. And I have enjoyed all its sequels even Serious Sam Advance.
I say all this to make the point, I am borderline giddy about the latest post on Croteam.com.
“Just a quick note to let all Serious Sam fans know that Serious Sam 3: BFE is coming this summer 2011. Official annoncement will be released soon.”
On 02/03/09, in one of my final post on my former blog Nintentoad.com I said…
“I am a little ashamed to say it, and also slightly afraid of one of the many crazed Atlus fans out there finding me. But with the exception of Trauma Center I am not a huge fan of most Atlus games.”
Now almost exactly 2 years later as I type this Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey sits in my DS with Radiant Historia next to it. Persona 4 is sitting in my PS2; I have a shortcut to Shin Megami Tensei Imagine sitting behind the window I am typing this in. Several copies of Digital Devil Saga are on my eBay Watch List. Even Maken X is near my Dreamcast!
When I typed that 2 years ago, I had no idea that I would be one of those crazed fans in need of a time machine so that I may kick some since into myself. Needles to say I have been very much looking forward to Atlus latest release Catherine.
When Atlus told Beefjack.com that there were no plans for a US release much sadness ensued. But now it appears that there is a bit of hope. A listing on Gamestop.com was found (and promptly removed) stating a 7/26/11 US release date. And to make matters even more interesting Beefjack.com is saying “A source has also told us that Atlus is planning an official announcement tomorrow.” Cross fingers and toes now! (WARNING: Toadink holds no responsibility for cramping toes and fingers from prolonged crossing)
