What is Retro Studios Working On?

Today it was rumoured that Retro Studio's next game will have a hand-painted artstyle. Of course, this has got fans of Retro's Metroid Prime games very excited, even though it has been rumoured that it won't even be a Metroid game, but one starring a different Nintendo character.

So, what is it?

Well, it could be anything, but here's some ideas-

It Could Be-

• Zelda 3DS- It has been reported that a new 3DS Zelda game that plays differently to other Zelda games is in the works, and Retro might be the one to make it! Also, Shigeru, creator of the Zelda franchise suggested that Retro Studios would make a great Zelda game.
• DK Country 3DS- After making Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii, Retro is in great shape for a 3DS sequel.
• New Star Fox Game- Well, it IS about time a new Starfox game was made! Also, Official Nintendo Magazine hinted at it when it said "Maybe it's time for Retro to do a barrel roll of a different kind!"
• Pikmin 3- I don't know why but why couldn't it be?

It Won't Be-

• Skyward Sword 2- There already is a Zelda game planned for the Wii U, and they wouldn't be making a second one.
• Mario Paint 2- Sorry MP diehards.

Well, whatever it is, we will probably know at the end of this year's E3!

Am I Betraying Mario?

Recently I haven't been updating this blog much, which I am quite sorry about. You see, I'm a Syward Sword addict now and also I have been busy making strange Youtube videos like this one-

Lucky for my faithful readers though, I am here to announce that I am back into this three times a week blogging business! Plus, I recently got Mario Kart 7 which I will post a micro-review of later.

Super Mario 3D Land AND Skyward Sword

Today is a lucky day for Australian fans of Nintendo (like me) as it marks the release of Super Mario 3D Land as well as The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on Australian shores. I know what you're thinking, and yes, Australia is late. While people in the UK and USA have already finished these games, they only just came out in Australia. That is why I placed my order on Skyward Sword from the UK. (But it still hasn't arrived yet!!!).

Anyway, my point is now is a great time to be a Nintendo fan as the latest and best Zelda game arrives almost simultaneously to the 3DS's first killer game from Nintendo that isn't a port!

So, I hope you guys have fun with these games, and I hope my shipment comes soon!

Is Skyward Sword the Best Zelda Game Ever?

In short, yes!

I have been waiting over a week for IGN to publish their review on LoZ: Skyward Sword because I had seen Game Informer and Edge Magazine give it a clear 10/10 but the folks at IGN are tough reviewers and they point out errors even in "flawless games". However, not only did Skyward Sword recieve a 10/10 by them, but it was also crowned the BEST ZELDA GAME EVER!

So, Skyward Sword is better than Ocarina of Time, the game highly regarded as one of the best games ever. This is a huge feat for the Zelda franchise, arguably the highest reviewed video game franchise ever.

So, hop on www.ign.com for IGN's full review.
