Nintendo releases official Legend of Zelda timeline, actually makes sense

The Zelda timeline has been something that Nintendo nerds and Zelda fanboys alike have argued over for years upon years. And to add fuel to the flames Zelda producer and director Eiji Aonuma came out and claimed that the franchise did in fact follow a heavily guarded timeline, though it was a secret that only Nintendo knew. Well, it’s been a few years since that quote was first spoken, and here we are at the end of the 25th anniversary of the series now bestowed upon with the official timeline, brought to you by Nintendo’s official Zelda artbook. — More after the break!

Penny Arcade reveals Ocean Marketing PR is poo poo

One of the most curious and yet useful controller peripherals we’ve seen to date was premiered by N-Controller with its Avenger release. The bad thing however is the choice in PR firm, which would represent this product and communicate to customers. Ocean Marketing Inc. was put in charge, and subsequently Paul Christoforo was now the Avengers’ marketing guy, who also runs (read as: ran) Ocean’s twitter account. Well, after a monumental failure in customer communication, Paul was contacted by Penny Arcade’s Gabe, who stepped in to moderate the email conversation and bring it to the mainstream. — More after the break!

Portable Gamecube gets music video treatment, makes you jealous -- (Video)

We’ve seen a number of portable SNES, NES, Gamecube, and even N64 systems made by Do-It-Yourselfer’s in the past, but I just realize… don’t they all look a little familiar? *cough “Wii U” cough*. Well, anyway seeing Tchay’s work truly pays tribute to the glory of the Gamecube, which is pretty interesting considering at the time the GCN was seen as possibly Nintendo’s final system. But looking back on it, it certainly almost feels like a Dreamcast 2 of sorts. — More info on its creation can be seen HERE.

Skyrim theme performed by Christmas light decoration -- (Video)

Nothing could make you feel like you’re in the northern most region of Skyrim than this stunning Christmas light rendition of the game’s theme. Now all we needed was a life-size Dragon statue breathing fire and the scene would’ve been complete. I guess we’ll just have to stick to our in-game worlds for that, or pretend we have an invisible dragon glitch… 

Fire Emblem 3DS will be first Nintendo title to get paid DLC

There have been software updates to fix games, and even firmware downloads to patch security issues but there’s yet to be found any paid DLC (downloadable content, for all you non-gamers) on a Nintendo system to date. Well, that’s all about to change, now that a new Fire Emblem game is heading onto the 3DS, and will be bringing with it additional content for you to throw your hard earned pennies at Nintendo, cause y’know… they don’t already have enough of it. Reports are also saying that the Wii U will also take advantage of paid DLC. — More after the break!

Nintendo issues fix for Zelda Skyward Sword game breaking glitch

So last night I personally just finished the Song of Hero quest, which roughly is at the very last leg of your journey to complete the main adventure, and I came out of it unscathed. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case for what could be hundreds of fellow Skywardians (?) who’ve been plagued by a stupid game-breaking glitch. Well, unlike the olden days in which you would have to start all over again, Nintendo will be releasing a specific channel on the Wii to help restore game saves. — More after the break!
