The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Bundle Revealed

Nintendo originally announced plans for a golden Wii remote and the Zelda Symphony Tour at E3 2011, in celebration of the series’ 25th anniversary, as well the launch of the newest iteration, Skyward Sword. Nintendo today announced official details for the Skyward Sword bundle, which includes: a copy of the game, a gold Wii remote, and a special music CD that contains a selection of songs from the concert tour. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be released on November 20th, 2011. Full details can be found below.

“Nintendo has something for you this fall, no matter what type of gamer you are, no matter what Nintendo system you’re playing,” said Moffitt. “Whether you’re looking for a world-spanning epic like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the pick-up-and-play puzzle fun of Tetris: Axis or the mind-bending adventure of Professor Layton and the Last Specter, we’ve got you covered.”

The limited-edition gold controller bundle for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be offered at a suggested retail price of $69.99. The game will also be sold separately at a suggested retail price of $49.99, though the gold controller will only be available as part of the special bundle. As an additional 25^th anniversary treat for fans who purchase the game early, every copy in the initial production, whether sold by itself or as a part of the limited-edition bundle, will come with a free CD featuring select orchestral arrangements of iconic music spanning the history of the franchise which will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25^th Anniversary Symphony Concert performances in October 2011.

Club Nintendo Extends Ocarina of Time 3D Offer

For the past few days, Club Nintendo representatives have been overwhelmed with a high volume of phone calls and emails. So what is all the fuss about, you ask? June 19th brought the release of Nintendo’s latest big title The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. Club Nintendo members who registered the code inside the game were granted a copy of a special soundtrack that was created specifically for the game’s launch. Unfortunately, the process did not go as planned, and many gamers were upset that they might have missed out on grabbing what is sure to become a collector’s item. After a few failed attempts at solving the problem, Club Nintendo has finally met fans at a middle ground: anyone who registers the game right now will receive a copy of the CD. But there is one catch: the CD is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Club Nintendo is free for all users, so get to registering right now!
