It's pretty amazing that even blind people can enjoy gaming like this, and I have to say that OoT is an excellent choice for those without sight. Between the targeting system, the very precise rolls, sidehops, and backflips, and of course the stereo audio (among other things) there's a lot to assist blind gamers in playing OoT.
On an unrelated note, why do both videos say "Subscribe to Nintendo Life on Youtube" below them? Is that just how the website is set up by default to handle videos, or was it a mistake made by the article's author? After all, I'd imagine you'd want to promote Terry's own Youtube channel when he's done something this incredible
Kinda depressing to see no "What's new this week" news messages on the 3DS eShop. Checking the "Recent Arrivals" > "New Software" section and seeing nothing but two updates confirms that new digital releases for the system have dried up. I wonder how much longer the drought will last...
Now, don't get me wrong, I have downloaded a ton of games on my 3DS since I bought it at launch (many of which I've yet to complete), so I'll be set for a while. But it feels like there's a lot of missed potential with the eShop at this point. On the 3DS I'm sure Nintendo could be releasing GBA games (even if they're lacking VC functions) and digital DS games (which could have local multiplayer unlike their Wii U VC counterparts). And they'd no doubt get plenty of $$$ for both.
Not going to get involved in the heated debate over this localization choice, but... I will say that this is yet another reason I'm glad I have a hacked 3DS. There's already an uncensored romhack of Bravely Default available, and I'm sure someone will be creating one for the sequel that will enable people to return outfits and such to the way they were in the original release... if they feel so inclined.
Kinda neat knowing that I share my birthday with the man behind the Super Mario franchise. Of course, he's over a generation older than me, but still...

Re: Video: See What it's Like to Play Super Metroid on its Side
Dunno why exactly, but the video is unfortunately dead. Guess I should have gotten here sooner...
Re: The First 4 Figures Amaterasu Reminds Us of Why We Love Ōkami
As amazing as this figure looks, that price tag is painful given my limited funds... I think I'll stick with budget-friendly Amiibo for now.
