That headline is the only thing you need to know about the Nintendo Switch other than the following video.  Watch it and weep the tears of joy with me.

E3 2016 - Nintendo Treehouse/Demo Predictions and Live Reaction

Hey everyone! This is Sherry (aka: Linksliltri4ce) here doing the live blog reaction to this year’s Nintendo E3 Event!

We're going to start off with some predictions that I'd at least like to see this year.  Now we all know Nintendo's current press schedule:

June 14

• More of The Legend of Zelda in Miitomo: Miitomo will continue its celebration of The Legend of Zelda with a themed Miitomo Drop game that will give players the chance to win The Legend of Zelda-themed in-app gear for their Mii character.

While I, for one, am super stoked about seeing SOMETHING on the new Zelda title for the WiiU (and possibly the console known as the NX), I would hope Nintendo is planning on showing us a little more than Zelda and Pokemon Sun and Moon on the show floor.  Nintendo's Day 2 Treehouse lineup is looking over some upcoming 3DS titles.  Knowing Nintendo they haven't told us all their plans for the two events just yet.  I am hoping to see snippets or teasers of other possible upcoming WiiU titles (just because I don't want to see the WiiU die just yet.)  Nintendo has made it clear that there will be no news on the NX, even though it's been hinted that the new Zelda title will launch in March 2017 alongside the NX.  This year is the 30th Anniversary for The Legend of Zelda and compared to its 25th Anniversary, this year has been a little lack luster.  I would like to some news possibly on Metroid, Splatoon, or even a new IP.  We shall see!  The event starts at 9AM Pacific Standard Time (it will be 12PM here in Eastern Standard Time.)

Nintendo Direct December 18: Nintendo Insanity Edition

Nintendo had another fantastic Nintendo Direct today.  And while I say fantastic, I also think Nintendo has started to lose their mind.  I mean that in the best possible way, too.

Here is a quick list of things that were announced and shown today:

• Hyrule Warriors (a.k.a. Dynasty Warriors Zelda, made by Tecmo Koei )
• Yoshi's Island DLC for Sonic Lost World (available now for free), with Legend of Zelda DLC heavily hinted at
• NES Remix (like WarioWare for classic NES games)
• Yoshi's New Island
• Kirby Triple Deluxe (sounds like a very delicious burger)
• Chibi-Robo: Photo Finder (on 3DS on January 9)
• Information on Pokemon Bank and Poke Transfer (like the fact that if you try the service, you get a free Celebi)
• An outstanding trailer for Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze with Cranky Kong
• Bravely Default getting a demo on January 2 that counts as a side-story to the main game
• Golf is now available for Wii Sports Club, and with it, another free 24 hour trial of all three games
• Dr. Luigi (for the Year of Luigi)

To see some of the insanity for yourself, you can watch the entire Nintendo Direct below.

Nintendo Direct: E3 2013 - Mega Man Edition

If you missed this morning's Nintendo E3 Direct, you can watch the full thing right here.


If you don't have forty minutes to kill, here are the highlights: Mega Man in Smash Bros., Wind Waker HD in October, Super Mario 3D World on Wii U this Fall, and Mario Kart 8 has anti-gravity.

Nothing majorly surprising outside of Mega Man, but everything they showed looked good.

Nightmare Fuel: The Legend of Cage

Ready to have nightmares for the rest of the week?  Check out this game hack of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.  Youtuber Criken2 added Nicolas Cage's face to everyone else's faces, as well as replacing some other textures.


I saw the video this morning, and I knew I had to share this gloriously horrifying video with everyone I could.  I'm sorry.

Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games Coming to 3DS

Earlier this morning, Nintendo had another Nintendo Direct presentation.  This one focused on Japan and 3DS titles from third party publishers.  During the video, Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons will be coming to the 3DS Virtual Console next week. 

And next month, the games will be sold in a bundle for four dollars cheaper.  I'm really hoping these both come to the US soon, and also that I have the patience to wait to see if we get the same bundle deal.  

Nintendo Wii U Direct - 1/23/13

There was a new Nintendo Direct broadcast this morning which was centered around the Wii U.  No one was really expecting much in the way of actual news, but HOLY CATS WIND WAKER HD REMAKE!

Sorry, I couldn't hold that back any longer.  I am so excited for that news!  

That wasn't all that was announced either!  Nintendo is working on two updates to speed uo the system, one for launching games and one for the switching between menus.  One will be out this Spring, and the other this Summer.  Also announced was the Wii U Virtual Console (with discounted prices for games you already purchased on the Wii), a new Mario Kart Wii U title, a new 3D Mario Wii U title (made by the same team behind Super Mario 3D land, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, Miiverse on Smartphones this Spring, the ability to take pictures of your pikmin in Pikmin 3 and post them to Miiverse, and a crap ton more!

I think it is safe to say that this was the best Nintendo Direct since, well, ever!
