“A huge thank you to Nintendo”.
Voice overs are still relatively new in the Zelda series, and now the latest trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has revealed Ganondorf’s return.
If you are wondering who is behind the voice, it’s Matthew Mercer – known as Cole Cassidy (McCree) in the Overwatch series, Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 6 and more recently as Chrom in Fire Emblem Engage. He’s also worked on a lot of anime from Attack on Titan, One Piece to Hunter x Hunter.

The True Runes await.
It’s been a minute since we’ve heard anything about Konami’s collection of classic RPGs, Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars. But, if a recent rating in Taiwan is anything to go by, we might not have much longer to wait before the duology hits Switch.
Gematsu spotted the rating and shared it over on Twitter (thanks to our sibling site Push Square for spotting this), and it reveals that the collection — which contains the PS1 RPGs Suikoden and Suikoden II — was just rated in Taiwan the other day.

Ganondilf.
In something we didn’t think we’d be writing today, everyone thinks Ganondorf in the new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom trailer is pretty smoking hot. VG247 brought this to our attention, and now it’s our job to share this revelation with you.
If you haven’t watched the final pre-launch trailer yet, then you might be a little bit confused. Before today, we’ve only seen the Demon King as a rather “unhydrated”, bone-y looking being. But as of today, we’ve seen him in the flesh — literally.

Get unpacking, folks.
Well, that was a heck of a trailer, wasn’t it, folks? The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is out in just under a month, and series producer Eiji Aonuma joined us to share the very last trailer we’ll be getting before the game launches on 12th May.
Featuring tons of shots of Hyrule, characters, and some story hints, Tears of the Kingdom’s seamless sky and land open-world looks to be an utter delight to explore, packed full of references from previous games. We’re gawking a little bit.

Sprouts this June.
Success Corporation, the developer most well-known for the Cotton series of cute ’em ups, is bringing its take on the farm sim to the west on Switch in June 2023. Shepherd’s Crossing originally launched on PS2 in 2008, before receiving a PSP port in 2010 (thanks, @gosokkyu!).

It’s crunch time.
The clock bell has tolled. Only one month remains before the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. One. Month.
Suddenly, this game that we have been anticipating for the last six years is almost here and out of nowhere a realisation struck us, one powerful enough to send a cold chill down anyone’s spine: we still have things left to do in Breath of the Wild.

Let’s-a go to the National Recording Registry!
The US Library of Congress has today announced the 25 tracks that will be added to its National Recording Registry as “defining sounds of the nation’s history and culture”. For the first time ever, one of these tracks comes from a video game, and it is none other than Koji Kondo’s iconic theme from 1985’s Super Mario Bros. that is leading the way (thanks, Gizmodo).
Joining the likes of Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’ and Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ in the class of 2023, the Super Mario Bros. theme’s inclusion is a huge stepping stone for video game music. In its announcement tweet (below) the Library of Congress stated that the track was “probably the most recognisable in history”, and we struggle to disagree.
