Check Out This Unofficial Link’s Awakening Remake While You Can

Check Out This Unofficial Link’s Awakening Remake While You Can

, , , 7

An anonymous programmer has uploaded a pretty cool remix of The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening to itch.io today. Dubbed Link’s Awakening DX HD, it’s a souped-up version of the Game Boy Color title with extra, modern-day features. The game runs at 120 FPS if your PC supports it (and it probably does; this isn’t a graphically taxing game). It displays in widescreen and you can view multiple screens at once. In fact, you can increase the view size by zooming out and see the entirety of Koholint Island in active time, with monsters and NPCs moving independently at once. As a youngster playing this game I dreamed of doing that. We know every other site you’ve been to today has already told you about this, but we’re pointing it out as well because if you want to try it, you should really get a move on that download button. Whenever the entire Internet discovers one of these fan projects and hypes them up, it’s only a short matter of

Zelda: Oracle Of Ages And Seasons Added To Nintendo Switch Online

Zelda: Oracle Of Ages And Seasons Added To Nintendo Switch Online

Surprise! Normally Nintendo gives us at least a day’s notice before adding something to NSO, but here they are, two of the most demanded titles for its Game Boy section: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. Originally planned to be a three-game trilogy (to match the Triforce), this ambitious Capcom-developed project was pared down to a duology and released simultaneously. Imagine two Zelda games on the same day. They had it made in 2001! Which should you play first? That depends on your tastes in Zeldas. If you prefer action, Oracle of Seasons leans more toward combat to progress. But if you’re more of a puzzle person, play Ages first — it’s more full of brainteasers. Whichever one you start with, you can carry your progress over to the other game, and once you complete them both, face the REAL final boss! Like you, I am also hoping Nintendo remakes these games in the “shoebox” style the way they did Link’s Awakening. The fact that

Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Gameplay Trailer

Nintendo said their gameplay trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom would be just ten minutes long, and considering how huge the world in it must be, we had no idea how they planned to sell all that in such a short time. They pulled it off, by focusing on new abilities that have the potential to dramatically change how a Zelda game is played. The first one is “Recall,” which allows Link to rewind the movement of any object. What use could this have? The footage demonstrated it right away: Link mounted a rock of debris that fell from the sky and “rewound” it so that it served as an elevator, taking him up to one of the sky islands. This was no doubt inspired by one of the most common tricks you see on Twitch for BOTW — freezing an object, whacking it to build up energy, climbing up top and releasing it. You shouldn’t have to do this in TotK now that there’s an

PopGeeks.net recently had the chance to sit down and speak actress Patricia Summersett. Very recently, Summersett appeared as the voice for the iconic role of Princess Zelda for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In the game, she provides the voice for the latest iteration of the legendary character for the game series that has withstood the test of time for three decades. Here is what Patricia had to say about her experience working on the such a classic gaming franchise and some of her other acting projects: PopGeeks: I’m curious about what your audition process was like for Breath of the Wild? Was it a typical casting call or voice-over? Was it steeped in secrecy? Were their pseudonyms for the project to protect its identity? Patricia Summersett: Yes. it was all these things. My experience auditioning for the project was straightforward in that I submitted my materials to casting directors in Los Angeles via my sister. My older sister had lived in Los Angeles for some time and

Coming up in Gaming – March

, , , , , , , , , 0

March is generally the time when publishers start to release high profile products again after the relative lulls of January and February. This March is no different, although there are few real blockbuster titles coming this year compared to others. Big Games Possibly the standout release in March is Tom Clancy’s The Division, an open world online shooter that is set or rival the likes of Bungie’s Destiny. Developed and published by Ubisoft, it will release on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 8 March and see players battling enemy forces in a devastated Manhattan, with gameplay similar to many other third-person shooters. The highly anticipated title also featured a dynamic weather system that can change the way The Division plays, with large storms hampering visibility and making aiming much more difficult than normal due to the high winds. The second high profile release of the month is a remastered version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The new Wii U version will release on 4 March around

My Top 5 Nintendo Franchises

, , , , , , , , , , , , 0

I am a Nintendo Fanboy. It’s who I am. My first taste of video gaming was a Game Boy. My first console was a SNES. I remember the joy when I got a Pokemon Stadium N64 bundle pack for Christmas, and  the pride I felt when I saved enough money to buy the Nintendo Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U with my own money. Nintendo is ingrained in my life. Being a fanboy for so many years and console generations has allowed me to see how Nintendo has grown in how they make games and the types of games they make. Nintendo more than any other company has a robust list of first party franchises. And if you take a good look at their lineup, you’ll notice that each one pretty much covers a different genre. Platformers (both 2D and 3D), shooters, racing games, fighting games, space games, puzzles titles, RPG’s, the list goes on and on. Yet as I sit here and reflect, a question comes to mind: Which franchises do I look forward to

Netflix Wants To Make Zelda Show

Netflix Wants To Make Zelda Show

Every so often, a news item comes across your desk that makes you do a double take and say “Excuse me?” Then, after looking at it a third time, you add, “….Princess?” Many an April Fool’s joke has been made online about a suddenly-announced Zelda TV show or movie — IGN once went so far as to make a trailer. The implied humor is in the accepted knowledge between most Nintendo fans that the company would never, ever, ever attempt a live-action adaption of any of its properties — at least not since the Super Mario Bros. film burned them off the idea forever. It’s because of this that my first instinct now when seeing “Zelda show” as a news headline is to think “who wasted time writing this? It’s not funny anymore.” And it’s why I had to look a second time to confirm it’s not actually a joke. Not this time. According to the Wall Street Journal, Netflix wants a Legend of Zelda live-action TV show and is

As we near the end of the year, we look back at all the great games that came out, but we also prepare and anticipate for next year. 2014 had some amazing games, and it was even the first year for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Another year of gaming is here, and we’re going to list our top ten most anticipated games of 2015. Do note this list will only have games that have officially been revealed or announced and are projected to come out in 2015. Without further ado, let’s begin. 10. Dying Light httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2TSCZqcjR0 The survival horror title is looking to be the first major release of the year. Being developed by Techland, the developers behind Dead Island, we can see some similarties between the two series. Yes, Dying Light will have zombies, but it adds parkour free running which will make for a unique experience. Another feature will be the day-night cycle, which will have players hiding from zombies in the night. 9. Rise

During The Game Awards 2014, Nintendo revealed some new gameplay footage for The Legend of Zelda Wii U. In a video with Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma, we saw how large the world will be. The gameplay footage began with Miyamoto and Aonuma explaining how you can explore anywhere you can see. After marking a specific point on the map, which was displayed on the Wii U GamePad, Link jumped off a cliff using the Sailcloth, an item we last saw in Skyward Sword. We then saw Link riding Epona through a forest, as Aonuma explained you will hardly have to touch the control stick to maneuver. The footage finished with Aonuma showing some horseback combat, and how you can aim and shoot arrows in slow motion. Check out the video for yourself down below. httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypR03D1nISA Miyamoto and Aonuma confirmed that The Legend of Zelda Wii U would release in 2015. They also revealed that Star Fox would launch before Zelda.
