Nintendo and series producer Eiji Aonuma will showcase 10 minutes of Tears gameplay in a live premiere on the company’s YouTube channel. It’s not clear just what you’ll see, but it’s safe to presume the demo will feature new mechanics and steer clear of major plot spoilers.

The Nintendo eShop for the Wii U and 3DS game consoles officially closed for business on March 27th, 2023, permanently disabling all new purchases on the platforms. We knew this was coming. Nintendo quietly announced the eShop’s closure over a year ago, asserting that it was the “natural life cycle for any product line as it becomes less used by consumers over time.” That’s true.
