Ocarina of Time 3D will include Master Quest

Ocarina of Time 3D just got sweeter just this past week. A Nintendo representative let slip at GDC 2011 that the Master Quest will be included in the same cartridge. It’s a great chance to play both games re-mastered in 3D (pun intended) and its definitely one of the better Zelda remakes.

Super Mario 3DS unveiled at GDC 2011

Super Mario 3DS was unveiled yesterday at GDC 2011. It’s a welcome reinvention of the series on the new Nintendo 3DS platform. If the tail on the logo foreshadows anything, the Tanooki suit may make an appearance in the game, and if not, it still pays homage to Super Mario 3.
