Two little arthouse titles called Monster Hunter and Zelda are making their debuts this week.
This week it’s all about 3DS. Wii U has a couple of releases, including the role-playing classic Breath of Fire, but the primary focus is on the release of New Nintendo 3DS this Friday.
With new hardware comes new games, and we have two big ones this week. First off, the Monster Hunter series returns with its (Ultimate) fourth incarnation. Hunting monsters has never been more bright and pleasant on the New 3DS XL’s big screen. The other? The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, a title people have been clamoring for a good while now. You don’t need to MASK your feelings on this one, people! Ok, I’ll shut up now.
