Secret influence revealed!
It's practically raining Spirit Tracks stories today, but this story actually pre-dates Link's latest - it's the children's book that inspired Nintendo to create Spirit Tracks.
"Weatherman is last Aardman Flipnote" statement proves erroneous
Contrary to our earlier reports that The Weatherman was Aardman's final Flipnote creation, we've just had word about this rather cool Zelda animation from those talented Brits.
Nintendo has just been in touch with a video of the extended version of the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks commercial being run in the US currently, and it's certainly not your average Zelda commercial.
On the right track or running out of steam?
Link’s last outing, 2007’s Phantom Hourglass, was a piece of portable paradise, showcasing all the DS’s features with some wildly imaginative puzzles and unforgettable moments, and still remains one of the console’s best titles. Spirit Tracks takes all that was good about Phantom Hourglass and mixes it up with some key new gameplay elements, but is it original enough to better its predecessor?
A match made in heaven?
The retail release of Master of Illusion (known as Magic Made Fun in Europe, as if magic was inherently boring) came with a special deck of cards to perform many of the game’s tricks. Obviously with the series heading into download territory via the DSiWare service, it’s had to find some new tricks up its sleeves, two of which are included in this little package known as Matchmaker.
