Psychotic Informer - 7/24/11


1. First up is some Zelda news! Skyward Sword is changing the Zelda series by a lot (brand new style of graphics, a ton of new items, a new world, ect.), but here’s another new change! The new game is going to feature item upgrades, instead of the traditional method where you either find or buy an upgrade. You will be combining rupees and parts dropped from enemies to make a weapon upgrade (kind of like Monster Hunter in a way). The upgrades will apply to Link’s beetle weapon, his shield and other weapons, too! Do you think this is a good change? Post your opinion in the comments! (For more information and a video, read the full article)

2. Next up is something I found pretty amusing because of my last post. I mentioned how Freddy Krueger was going to be added to Mortal Kombat 9 via DLC. After that I said “But now that we’re letting movie villains into the brawl, what about Jason?”. Well, they answered my question! "Over the years, we've certainly had a number of conversations about guest characters," said Ed Boon, co-founder of the MK series, “A number of names were run by us: Jason, Michael Meyers and all those guys. Freddy Kreuger, we felt, was the most instantly recognizable and he fits in with Mortal Kombat with his claws." What do you think? Is Freddy fit for this kind of role, or should some other slasher villain be in his place? Leave your opinion in the comments! (For more information, read the full article)


3. Everyone, get your emails ready! According to Nintendo Majora’s Mask 3D will be made only if there is enough support from the fans! “I think certainly if there was a similar output of emotion and clamor [as there was for Ocarina of Time 3D] from fans for a remake of Majora's Mask, it wouldn't be an utter impossibility,” they said. So everybody go on the Nintendo website and email them your support! Or write them letters or something, however people communicate these days. Do you think Majora’s Mask should be made in 3D? Post your opinion in the comments! (For the full interview, click here)

Psychotic Informer - 7/22/11

 
 1. Another 3D classic has finally arrived on the 3DS eShop! 3D Classics: Xevious is the new addition to the series of 3D remakes of other games (the first being Excitebike). A port of the 1982 classic arcade game Xevious, the game is fully 3D and it looks very cool. Obviously in the above image you cannot see the 3D, so if you want to see it you just have to go to the eShop on your 3DS and view the sample video. The game looks really cool, and it’s only $6, so you should buy it! Also coming out today is the new Nintendo Video where you can watch free 3D videos, so that will be pretty sweet. Go pick these new apps up today!

2. Do you live in the Los Angeles area and love Zelda? This next story is for you! The concert tickets for The Legend of Zelda Symphony Concert are available for the first concert on August 1st. The actual concert date will be on October 21st, with the full concert tour coming in 2012. "It's an event that fans and music aficionados won't want to miss." said the producer.  If this concert would happen to come anywhere near me, I would see it in a heartbeat. The tickets are pretty pricey, though. $30 for the arena seats, $150 for the front row. What do you think? Would you see this concert? Or is it too expensive for you? (For more information, read the full article)

3. When you think of Mortal Kombat, what do you think of? Maybe Raiden, Johnny Cage, or Sub-Zero? What about Freddy Krueger? Yes, you read that correctly. Freddy Krueger will be added to Mortal Kombat 9 via DLC. This is kind of weird, but I think it will be interesting. But now that we’re letting movie villains into the brawl, what about Jason? Maybe Dracula? Or how about Mechagodzilla? (For more information and a video, read the full article)

 
 
4. This isn’t much of a story as it is a favor to me. The other day I was talking about how Capcom canceled Mega Man Legends 3 and I was severely disappointed.
