Rumor: Ocarina of Time 3D to see limited initial release

Japanese retail news blog Sinobi (translated by Andriasang ) reports Nintendo has a somewhat surprising supply strategy for its upcoming, three-dimensional remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time .

Readers pick best webcomic: Tool of Destruction

We hate to break it to Wile E. Coyote, but we’re not sure that a Portal Gun is going to be the best weapon of choice against the Road Runner. It’s a nice sentiment from last week’s Webcomic Wrapup winner, Extra Life’s ” Tool of Destruction ,” but if Wile’s experience with the Aperture Science tech is anything like ours, he’s probably just going to end up flinging himself off of a cliff, or into a pit of death-goo, or into an infinite feedback loop
