Lynels and dungeons and tears, oh my!

A new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is here and we are excited! So excited, in fact, that we have watched it another 20 times to narrow down our top reveals — the things that really got us beaming cheek to cheek.

These aren’t blink-and-you’ll-miss-’em details like those we spotted after going frame-by-frame through the reveal trailer (and last month’s ‘Traversing Hyrlue‘ follow-up), but they are some big ol’ game-changers worthy of highlighting.

It’s still dark in there.

Nintendo has dropped a brand new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and we finally know a little bit more about those rifts that cover Hyrule.

Mario Party 4‘s ‘Three Throw’?! All the following snaps are from the new website, so it looks like we have a couple of returning guests to look forward to.

It’s not every day a video game company embraces memes with open arms, but that’s exactly what’s going on at Sega when it comes to the Sonic the Hedgehog series – in fact, it’s arguably helped revitalize the brand over the years.

Ahead of the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations and the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie later this year, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka recently touched on all the Shadow and Sonic-related memes during a chat with Polygon. First of all – yes, the team sees fans posting “lots of interesting stuff”.

“We have run out of parts”.

Following an announcement Nintendo would stop 3DS repairs in Japan, the company’s support service has now revealed it’s run out of parts necessary to repair the New Nintendo 3DS in this location.

According to a rough translation, this means it’s no longer accepting repairs for this particular unit as of 28th August 2024. On the plus side, repairs for the 2DS and 3DS XL are still available until Nintendo’s stock runs dry. It’s also worth noting the repair services for 3DS systems in other regions already ended.
