 Did you ever wonder what all the writing found throughout The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword translated to? Neither have we, but fan "Sarinilli" did, and discovered that it's just our alphabet represented by new characters. A few of the Hylian characters represent multiple letters, but it's a simple substitution regardless.
With this knowledge, Sarinilli then created a font out of the Hylian characters, which you can download here. Now you can write secret messages meant only for Link! We think he'd be very surprised to find out how concerned people are about the Zelda timeline.

 You know that shrink ray you've been working on in your attic, Rick Moranis style? Well, rather than a boring old shrunken human, how would you like to be a shrunken Fox McCloud? An upcoming series of miniatures, set to debut in Japan only for now, could let you finally live out that dream.
A new line of Star Fox 64 3D and Steel Diverfigurines will be available starting this May,Siliconera reports. They're modeled after the Arwing, Landmaster tank and Blue Marine sub -- in the case of the Steel Diver figurines, it's a bunch of subs. Did you honestly expect something else? It's a submarine game, folks.
The figures will apparently cost 300 yen each ($3.90) when they hit store shelves, so start saving up your Japanese coins!

 Zen Studios is preparing the most realistic fake pinball imaginable: Zen Pinball 3D, which brings a 2D simulation of a real-world, 3D game back into 3D. The developer officially announced details of the 3DS eShop release today, revealing a January 12 date and a $6.99 price. Not quite the "fall" date we originally heard, but it's very close to now.
For those tokens, you'll get four tables, including Earth Defense, Shaman, Excalibur, and Eldorado. Zen Studios plans to follow those with DLC tables, which have yet to be announced. We're guessing they'll come from the lineup of tables made for other versions.

Taylor Valtrop, an enterprising roboticist with a penchant for kitties, has crafted the mother of all Kinect (and Wiimote!) hacks: Theteleoperation of a robot to groom a cat. Using a Nao, a $15,000 robot; a treadmill (for moving the robot forward); a head-mounted display (to see what the robot sees); Kinect (for tracking his movements); and two Wiimotes (to move the robot's hands), Valtrop is able to pat a cat with surprising accuracy and gentleness (except for where he accidentally hits the cat in the face)."

We were already head over heels for the original Retrode, and we've gotta say -- version 2.0 looksmighty good in that attire. As the story goes, the product shown above is the result of some three years of toiling, with the second iteration handling cartridges for Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. In fact, there's a pair of ports on here, enabling one cart from each console to be loaded up and carried around. Users need only to find and install an emulator on their machine, plug a cartridge and / or an associated controller into the device and then connect the Retrode 2 to one's computer via USB. Once you've loaded a ROM into your emulator, configured your controller and canceled every appointment on your calendar for the next 48 hours... well, you're in for quite a weekend of retro gaming nirvana. It's up for pre-order now in the source link for $84.99, with shipments expected to begin on January 23rd.

It appears that Disney Interactive has accidentally announced Epic Mickey 2 in a newsletter – which, incidentally, has subsequently been amended.
Eurogamer reports that the game was dated for a Christmas 2012 release on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii.
Hopes of a sequel to the 2010 Wii original had seemingly been dashed following Disney’s closure of the majority of its core gaming business and an apparent re-focusing on the casual and mobile games sector.
The game will for the first time introduce two-player co-op via split-screen.
“In the two-player mode one person can play as Mickey wielding magic paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world and the second player can play as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit - Walt Disney's first cartoon star - with the power to fly like a helicopter and use electricity to fight or friend enemies and solve challenges,” the blurb explains.
It’s not known whether Warren Spector, the Deus Ex creator who helmed the first Epic Mickey game, will be involved with the sequel.

The Wii U’s semi-portable tablet controller could become the central focus of a new content service offering from Nintendo, according to online reports.
As well as being linked with – surprise surprise – a push to get iOS games ported onto the device, Forget The Box has been lead to believe that Nintendo wants to position Wii U as an e-reader.
It alleges that the plan is to get books, magazines, newspapers and graphic novels that would be stored on the console and then streamed to the controller.
Nintendo is said to be “actively seeking publishers” for its new strategy.
Of course, this leads to the same question we’ve all been asking about the tablet. Users will remain tethered to within Wi-FI range of their Wii U. How can this hope to rival devices that are truly portable?
Perhaps this adds weight to the growing rumours that the “new-look” Wii U tipped for a 2012 reveal will break the chain that keeps the controller shackled to the console.
Forget The Box also claims that the e-reader service will be compatible with 3DS, too.

Both Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 have become the fastest selling games in the history of their franchises in the US.
The pair are the first 3DS games to sell over a million units in the territory.
In addition, the 3DS console itself has officially sold more units in its first nine months on the market than the Wii sold in the same time period.
In total Nintendo sold 12m consoles in the US in 2011, which breaks down as follows – 4.5m+ Wii, 4m+ 3DS and over 3.4m DS.
That takes Wii’s US user base to 39m and the DS to 51m. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has become the 45th Wii game to pass the 1m US sales mark.
"One of the strongest software line-ups in our history helped Nintendo have a great holiday season and to close 2011 with a full head of steam," NoA sales and marketing exec Scott Moffitt stated.
"Not only have the new Mario and Zelda titles already broken records, but with strong reviews and satisfied customers sharing their positive experiences, all three are also shaping up to be the latest long-tail titles from Nintendo.”

A special Metal Gear Solid-themed 3DS console will be released alongside Konami’s Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater next year.
The rumours were confirmed by none other than MGS creator Hideo Kojima himself, who released an image of the device on Twitter.
The unit features an embossed snakeskin cover.
However, it’s not yet known what regions the machine will be released in. Kojima’s tweet suggests Japan is confirmed, but European and American gamers will have to wait a little longer to find out about the machine’s fate overseas.
Further details will apparently be shared on January 20th.
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater is due out for 3DS some time this quarter. The game will be compatible with Nintendo’s 3DS Circle Pad Pro.

The Nintendo 3DS handheld has sold 4 million units since its release, according to official figures. The total puts the machine ahead of the Wii in terms of unit sales for the first 9 months.
Nintendo revealed today that in 2011 it sold 12 million hardware units, including 4.5 million Wiis, the 3DS's 4 million and 3.4 million other Nintendo DS handhelds.
Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 are also the first titles for the 3DS to sell a million each in North America.
"One of the strongest software line ups in our history helped Nintendo have a great holiday season and to close 2011 with a full head of steam," said Nintendo of America VP of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt.
"Not only have the new Mario and Zelda titles already broken records, but with strong reviews and satisfied customers sharing their positive experiences, all three are also shaping up to be the latest long-tail titles from Nintendo. Couple that with a massive first- and third party lineup in the first part of the year and the prospects for 2012 are extremely promising."
The celebratory news is a stark contrast to the current Japanese figures for PlayStation Vita, which saw a 78 per cent drop in sales from its first to second week.

Unless you go through the '80s-style "becoming super cool" montage, the other app stores won't respect you. Nintendo seems to be in this mindset, as a source has stated that it's creating an app store for its upcoming Wii U controller that goes "far beyond" the online stores the company currently provides for its DSi and Wii consoles. According to The Daily, the new gaming system, which is set to launch in the second half of 2012, will be able to use apps that operate on the controller itself, much like iOS and Android-based tablets. In other news, Nintendo has also vowed to buy each of its employees a cheetahwith the Wii U app store profits.

The Wii U's online store will have a more diverse selection of apps available,The Daily reports citing "a person familiar with the matter." The outlet suggests non-game programs like MLB.TV will run on the console and independently through the Wii U's tablet-like controller. The site speculates the tablet apps could allow for email, web and social network browsing, but doesn't know whether the Wii U's store will use real currency (like the 3DS eShop) or Wii Points.
As interesting as all this sounds, it still feels out of step with today's Nintendo, which hasn't been able to match the online marketplaces found on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and other digital distribution networks. And there's a bigger question: Will the Wii U tie apps to the system instead of a widespread Nintendo account?
A singular account through which purchased apps can be accessed, both through Wii U and Nintendo handhelds, would be an expected step toward parity, more so than TV apps.

 You could live through exaggerated childhood trauma ... in 3D! Responding on his FormSpring to a question about a potential 3DS port of The Binding of Isaac, co-creator Edmund McMillen revealed that "A publisher i know is currently asking Nintendo if they would be OK with Isaac on the 3DS." If Nintendo approves, he's willing to "let them port it."
McMillen later said that the 3DS was the "only other system you might ever seeIsaac on." Of course, acquiring Nintendo approval may be difficult considering the violent, grotesque imagery and overarching theme of infanticide.

You enter the quiet, overgrown cavern by pushing open the heavy stone door with all your might. Inside, sunlight streams through the broken ceiling, and dust that hasn't been disturbed in hundreds of years lazily floats through the air, shaken up by your entrance. The sunbeams land on the summit of a small set of stairs, where an ornate, red and gold chest sits, teasing and waiting for you to open it.
You do. As you crack open the ancient treasury, , starting quietly and then opening up into a triumphant series of simple notes, telling you that you have finally done it. The item you pull out of the centuries-old coffer is fine treasure indeed.
It's a shirt, adorned with some kind of legendary logo, a heart container tag, and the number "25" on the back. It's available in five sizes, for a special one-time only printing. Order now, before February 20, 2012, to get it sometime this May. You fold the shirt into your leather pack, and move on through the dungeon -- who knows what fearsome beast you might have to use this on, three different times, to defeat it?

If you're a stone-cold psychopath whose masochistic gaming tendencies push you away from ... well, normal-people games and into the cold embrace of impossible games, then the unavailability of an English port for Takeshi's Challenge has probably been a sore point for you. We probably shouldn't encourage your self-destruction, but you should know that a few kind souls have translated the bizarre NES title for your localized enjoyment.
The localization comes from ROM modder KingMike (via Tiny Cartridge). Before looking into acquiring the game, though, we'd suggest you also find an English language strategy guide to help you, because this game was made by the Devil.

Japan's 3DS eShop will offer another of the NES "Ambassador" games for sale next week -- an act that also means an updated version of the app for those who downloaded it for free. Following last week's release of The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. will be available on January 5. Those without 3DS diplomatic immunity will have to pay ¥500 ($6.44).
The updated eShop versions of the Ambassador games add multiplayer, save state and sleep mode support and instruction manuals. So far, no NES games have been released on the eShop outside of Japan.

 The Hori accessory kit won't be the only way for Japanese customers to outwardly display their love of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D. Kojima Productions' Jiroo Tsubuyaki tweeted that Nintendo plans to release a 3DS hardware bundle for the title, which comes out March 8 in Japan.
The design has yet to be finalized, so Tsubuyaki didn't have any pictures to share. However, we can already tell you that it's going to make us want to buy a Japanese 3DS and a copy of a game we're still worried about.

Did you get a Nintendo shaped bundle of joy for Christmas? Completed the games already? Fear not, as from March Kyoto's gaming veterans will be launching paid downloadable game content for its 3D handheld. The first title to get the goodies will be Fire Emblem, and as yet, there's no clues about what treats you'll get for the reported "several hundred yen" you'll be asked to stump up. Nintendo, however, is understandably keen to stimulate interest in its 3D titles, and more importantly, claw back some of that mobile gaming market-share. With hints of downloadable add-ons coming to the Wii-U also, and Mr. Iwata's previous commitment to deliver the goods, it clearly thinks this is the way to go -- let's just hope all the kinks have been ironed out come release day.

Snes9x TestBuild 20111223 is released. Snes9x is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator. It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your PC or Workstation; which includes some real gems that were only ever released in Japan.
Snes9x is the result of well over three years worth of part-time hacking, coding, recoding, debugging, divorce, etc. (just kidding about the divorce bit). Snes9x is coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and Windows ports.
