  Home | News | Twilight Princess and Tetris DS Update

 
 
Nintendo of America, Inc., released new information on Tetris DS, including the "Mission Mode", which has a player race against the clock in a Legend of Zelda themed game. Nintendo also released another screen shot of the Zelda mode, although it is just an updated version of the previous image, but it does show off more details than before. There's also a small update on Twilight Princess.
 
In the Zelda "Mission Mode", you have to complete the tasks given to you in the top screen in a certain time frame, which is indicated by your "heart meter" on the bottom right. As your hearts decrease, your time runs out. Obviously, when they run out, you die (and are treated to a classic little scene fans will remember). The music is also from the original Legend of Zelda title, and the sound effects are present as well.



Pretty sweet box art. Would be sweeter with Zelda stuff.

In other news, Reggie Fils-Aime confirmed in an interview with Engadnet that Twilight Princess will only play on Revolution thanks to the backwards compatibility of the system. He also reminded fans that the GCN games put on Revolution can only be played using GCN peripherals. This, for now, dismisses the possibility of Twilight Princess utilizing the Revolution functionality - and dismissing the NGC report.
 
Reggie also reaffirmed that Twilight Princess is being focused on solely as a GameCube title, and it is not "pushed back" - he insists the intended release date has always been the same since the initial delay last year.

 
Reggie promises more information will be revealed at E3, although there is a slight chance of new tidbits at GDC 2006. More than likely, though, a few Revolution details will emerge then, not new Twilight Princess info. Finally, Official Nintendo Magazine (UK) reports it will not have exclusive media of Twilight Princess in its Volume 2 issue which hits stands March 16th. They say Nintendo has changed their mind and will instead release new media at GDC.
 
Hmm, Nintendo going back on its word. This sounds strangely familiar.
