If Aonuma can combine Beyond Good & Evil's personality and storytelling with Okami's pace and then bring it all into the masterful world of Hyrule with the characters and locations we all know and love, it will surely be a game to top Ocarina of Time.

The man has since worked on Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess , but he (and probably most gamers) would argue that none of these topped Ocarina of Time .

Dead Space Extraction's twist-off limbs
Joystiq [Nintendo] — The latest Nintendo Power has a feature on Dead Space: Extraction, from which Nintendo D-Pad extracted one detail about the controls, which seem to prove that there is a motion element involved in gameplay, in addition to all the pointing. The Rivet Gun is used to shoot Rivet Blades and lop off limbs (the advertised "strategic dismemberment" aspect of the game). You aim it "perpendicular to the limb you are trying to cut off," which translates to twisting the Wiimote around to line up the shot. At least we now know the game isn't ...

Speaking with Nintendo Power about the next “Zelda” game for the Wii, Miyamoto said, “I don’t think it’s going to be that radically different.” Considering one of the major qualms people had about “Twilight Princess” was that it was too derivative of previous “Zelda” titles, it’s a bit of a surprising statement. But is it a bad thing? Will the next “Zelda” be a bad game? It’s pretty unlikely, given Nintendo’s the track record with the franchise. It does fly in the face of Nintendo’s recent ...
