Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 3D Teaser Trailer Outed

Nintendo have outed a very brief teaser trailer for Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 3D for the nintendo 3DS.  Nothing to really shout out about at the moment other than I have high expectations of this little gem and can’t wait to get my hands on it.  There is nothing like a little bit of Nintendo gaming magic, especially in the palm of your hand 😉

Will the new Nintendo Wii HD (Project Cafe) get Wii sales back on track?

There are varying views about the Wii at the moment. Sales have declined against Xbox 360 and Playstation but and many people now looking at the Wii see an occasional game system or party game system.

I have a lot of time for the Wii, I never fail to enjoy playing games on the Wii but it is lacking in HD and good sound quality.

So Project Cafe was outed a few weeks ago and word is that the new Wii HD will break cover at Junes E3 event.

But with Kinect and Sony Play now firmly set in peoples living rooms and bedrooms, will the Wii HD bring what it needs to compete.

Time will tell and the video (albeit nobody seems sure if it is genuine) that has broken on You Tube this morning brings some interesting thoughts.

But all I would say at this stage is that if you love the Wii, you probably have pedigree behind you and enjoyed the N64 and the SNES behind that. Nintendo don’t do bad game systems and while the Xbox and Playstation are going to b difficult to beat as an all round entertainment experience (ones which are constantly being developed and expanded), the Wii HD will be great for Gaming. And it’s here that the system will need to keep to it’s roots and where likely it will be a massive hit.
