Plenty of things in life get lost in translation, but hopefully this isn't one of them. French website Power-Nintendo has a correspondent in Japan, who recently attended a live event for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

It keeps coming
In Japan, the eShop will launch with Excitebike for free, and it seems the North American shop will follow.
