We no longer use this website

Hey guys! Thom here! Just wanted to say that we no longer use this website! We have now moved to: www.nintendogamingnewz.com

Thank you. :)

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance is about 60-70% complete, and will feature a Multiplayer Mode.

YES! I'm back and writing guys!
And for my first post in about 2 months, I have something about a little game I'm looking forward to...
Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. The game itself is about 60-70-ish% complete. Apparently it will feature a Multiplayer Mode but there's no other details on that. The story is interesting too:
The story is focused on the 2 worlds that were put in a state of sleep after the events of the first game. It is Sora and Riku's job to return the worlds to their normal state, and become the Keyblade Masters.  Tetsuya Nomura has said that Neku - who has been separated from his partner Shiki, is in Traverse Town because they "wanted to have fresh characters in the game". That's pretty much it for the story really. But apparently there will be more details on Neku and other new characters at a later date.

Sorry

I have messed up... and big time... and all I can say is I'm sorry... I can't contact Ricky, and there is a big chance that Sheldon is leaving NGN. And... Okay I might as well tell the truth: I've found myself drawn to other platforms recently. And I'm regretting it! I've been an idiot and I understand that now, and though it's too late, I hope you can forgive me. NGN will be making a comeback however, and when it does; it will be much better. All I can say is I'm sorry for screwing up. And I know this is a big news day. But I can't do everything by myself. I will try to sort this out. We will need to find a new writer due to Sheldon leaving. So if you are reading this (no doubt I've lost all of the fans) - then please, do not lose faith. NGN is coming back.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword UK release date confirmed!

Yes guys it's the moment we've all been waiting for! SS has a UK release date! Mark your calenders because we shall be getting a new Zelda adventure on the 18th of November!!!

As I'm sure we all know, Skyward Sword is a prequel to Ocarina of Time, and will (probably) be the first in the Timeline. Storyline wise it tells of the Master Sword's creation. I know I'm exited! Are you going to buy it?

Super mario sunshine 3ds

We’ve seen the legend of Zelda: ocarina of time 3D, and now fans want majora’s mask in 3D. Without a doubt, both 3d remakes will be a complete success, but what about Mario? Yes, we have super Mario 3d land coming, but what if Mario had his own 3d remake?

Yoshiaki Koizumi, director or Mario 3d land has admitted that he would like to see Mario sunshine and both Mario galaxies in this glorious 3d style, and so would I. The gamecube era seems to have been forgotten in our world, if you look back there are several greats that could be well upgraded and ported into 3d. Mario sunshine. Sonic adventure 2 battle. F zero GX. And the list goes on.

“I can say that I really would like to see a lot of those games that use 3D worlds on 2D display just so I could see what they look like in 3D and see what kind of different experiences people would have playing through them on a 3D display. So in that sense I would love to see Sunshine and both Galaxy games presented in 3D, and a lot of the Zelda games would be interesting too.”

There are many games that I’d love to see (and buy personally) in 3d along with sunshine, and knowing our kind developers at Nintendo, who knows what could come up next? Some people say to stop with the remakes on 3ds, but Mario sunshine is one last one that needs to be done. And a few others I would like too. Are there any games you would like to see ported into 3d?

No nintendo 3DS lite for a while

We’ve heard before, and you also might have already guessed, but we will not be getting another type of 3DS for a very long time. So no 3DS lite or XL or any of that. Reggie Fils – Aime has explained this to us, but it really isn’t any big surprise.

“The form factor, we believe, it quite strong and quite positive. We have nothing else to add at this point in terms of other form factor changes or other color changes beyond the Flame Red that we’re announcing today.”

So the only form changes we might see for a while are other colours. I’m happy with my Cosmos black one, especially since I’ll be getting my 20 ambassador games. Plus, I’ve finished the streetpass quest.

If there were any big changes to be made to the console, I reckon that it would be changes to the system. This might come in the form of a new 3DS with a larger screen which seems to be needed for some games, but software changes would be sent out in an update so that former 3DS owners can simply hit the update button. Are there any software changes that you could dream of having for the future of the 3DS? A Youtube application? Streetpass quest enhancement? Share you thoughts.

Should Nintendo Develop for smartphones???

Nintendo have always been very kosher (if you will) about publishing for consoles other than their own.... I mean you can kinda understand it, for example: before Sega killed off their console range, and moved to producing software for anything they could get. So companys would only do that unless they don't have a console or are just software producers. So now, Masamitsu Ohki (Some fund raiser for a Tokyo Based, Stats Development Co.) has said:

"Smartphones are the new battlefield for the gaming industry. Nintendo should try to either buy its way into this platform or develop something totally new."

Okay I must say I would prefer to see a NINTENDO smartphone rather than seeing Nintendo developing FOR a smartphone. I mean really! You don't see Sony developing games for Xbox do you? (And yes I was going to say you don't see Microsoft developing for Sony, but then I remembered that they are also a huge computer company, so y'know...)

Iwata has stated in the past that Nintendo have no intention to produce for smartphones. Personally I think that they shouldn't produce for smartphones, but make a gaming smartphone! Why not? Because lets face it, the iPhone/iTouch market is a huge, cheap, and overall a very interesting market for gaming companys. However I am not in Nintendo, I merely write for a fansite. But we can only wait and see what will happen in the future!
