NintyTalk – Buzzing Revival

Well, we have worked hard (mostly) over the weekend for this and we are now ready to reveal… well, what we have been working on, obviously!

Anywho, we are happy to announce NintyTalk! NintyTalk is a brand new feature in which we will have a spontaneous discussion on recent Nintendo and other gaming news. As this is still very early days, so we may be a bit rusty (heck, we’re very rusty) but hopefully, the more we do, the more we should improve.

Now, in this instalment of NintyTalk, we’ll be discussing the NintyBuzz revival, Xenoblade X Mini-Direct, Smash Bros. DLC, Mario Kart DLC, Zelda Wii U Delay and Project Ukulele!

Please tell us what you think of this episode and how we could improve. See you next time!

Majora’s Mask 3D Review

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask; a game that came out over a decade ago, a game that is held dearly by many, and a game that finally got the remake it deserved. Majora’s Mask 3D released on February 13th for the Nintendo 3DS, but with the reception the original got does the new iteration hold up? That’s what I plan on discussing in this review so let’s get started… after the break!

Majora’s Mask 3D Improved Features

One of my favourite announcements during the Nintendo Direct stream earlier was the release date for Majora’s Mask 3D and the announcement of the special edition New 3DS XL design. Though that was all they revealed about the game on the stream, they sneakily released some exciting information onto the official Majora’s Mask 3D website!

Find out what these details are after the break!

Mario vs Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is Cross-Buy

Although it has been somewhat overlooked in recent years, the Mario vs. Donkey Kong has become somewhat of a flagship series for the eShop, and it’s about to break new ground (for Nintendo at least) – the latest title will be the first (well, second in Europe) cross-buy eShop title.

Cross buy is a already a familiar concept for playstation owners, but the feature has been somewhat absent across the Wii U and 3DS, but that seems to be changing. Over on Sony’s platforms, purchase of a game on PS3, PS4 or PS Vita often unlocks it for use on all three systems, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars will follow a similar pattern. However, for once Nintendo’s lack of an accounts based system for download games is a plus, because rather than automatically unlocking the game, Nintendo plan to provide a download code to purchasers. Expect to see many of these on eBay in the near future…

As for the game itself, Tipping Stars follows the template laid out by its predecessors well – once again, the aim is to guide mini toys to the exit via simple touch controls. Also returning is the level editor which has got a significant upgrade – while you can still share your creations online, players of your levels can now rate them by tipping you with stars. I see what you’re doing there Nintendo…

Stars can be used to buy new parts for levels, with the idea being that the most creative designers will get more parts to use, hence enabling them to create better levels. Sounds a bit like the rich will get richer then, but there you go.

Tipping Stars is out on the 5th March in North America and 20th March in Europe, exclusively on the eShop.

The Big Nintendo Direct Round-Up

What a Nintendo Direct. Past presentations have been impressive, but I think today’s edition sets the record for the most stuffed broadcast yet! If you missed any of it, look no further, because here we have a handily compiled list of every announcement, along with links to more details. From Pokemon to Zelda to Xenoblade, all you have to do now is bask in what an incredible year we’ve got in store!

Majora’s Mask + New 3DS XL out on 13th February

Majora’s Mask may have only been announced a couple of months ago, but we aren’t going to have to wait long for it – it’s out in less than a month, Friday 13th February to be exact.

Launching alongside both the new 3DS and Monster Hunter 4, Valentines’ Eve is going to be a big day for western Nintendo fans, and it only gets better because Nintendo have also confirmed a special New 3DS XL – and it looks STUNNING. What’s more is that the special 3DS will also include a pre-installed copy of the game, so you’ll be able to play one of the most loved Zelda games straight out of the box.

Will you be picking up Majora’s Mask 3D and/or special New 3DS XL?

Puzzle & Dragons Heading Westward in May 2015

Fresh from its conquest of Japan, Puzzle & Dragons is heading to western 3DS consoles. It will be released in the form of a special bundle featuring both the original game (which features dragons, funnily enough) and the newly announced Mario edition.

Puzzle & Dragons is already out in the west as a free to play game on smart devices and is described as a puzzle game with RPG and strategy elements. However, the 3DS editions build on the phone and tablet version by adding an explorable world to make a more complete game – and of course it also doesn’t feature any of those pesky in app purchases.

The games will be available in May as a bundle at retail and in the eShop, but there’s no word on pricing – or whether the games will be available individually – yet. Do you think these games have what it takes to replicate their Japanese success over here?
