RIP Microsoft Zune

Microsoft finally decided to pull the plug on their Zune MP3 players and work on Zune integration with WP7. Its been a good run for Microsoft for its standalone MP3 player in an iPod/iPhone dominated MP3 player market. At least the Zune HD is futureproof since there won’t be a Zune HD 2 coming in the foreseeable future unless the line is somehow revived in the future.

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.
