WWE wrestler Cody Rhodes pays tribute to Zelda via his ring attire
Think that emblem on rassler Cody Rhodes‘ boot above is just a coincidence? Nope. Rhodes not only pays tribute to the Triforce in every bout, not only lives his professional life by its creed, he also replays The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past every year on his Super Nintendo.
GoNintendo was dubious at first that Rhodes deliberately put the Triforce on his boots. But the grappler makes it pretty damn clear in the latest issue of WWE Magazine:
“It’s the Tri-Force from The Legend of Zelda,” Rhodes confirmed. “You know how some people have a book they re-read every year? Well I re-play The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Super Nintendo every year. In the game, the Tri-Force symbolized power, wisdom and courage. I thought I could apply those qualities to my life.”

Vader vs. Yoda in Soul Calibur IV
A Soul Calibur IV gameplay video showing Darth Vader taking on Yoda has hit the web. Namco Bandai decided that PS3 gamers will get Darth Vader and Xbox 360 users will get Yoda. However, it was rumored back in January that PS3 owners will be able to get Yoda and 360 owners would be able to get Darth Vader via DLC.
Anti-piracy Measures Implemented for Nintendo DS Game
Anti-piracy measures implemented in Nintendo DS game Dragon Quest 5: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
Drgaon Quest 5: Hand of the Heavenly Bride for the Nintendo DS released on July 17th has been proven to have anti-piracy measures that prevent bootleg copies of the game from working properly. As reported by Yahoo Japan, game characters in the opening scene will be caught in a never ending boat ride instead of progressing forward in the game.
Japanese message boards began to light up on July 16th as gamers began to wonder why their characters were still on the same boat one hour after getting on it. Rumours Square-Enix had implemented a “Copy Guard” began to circulate along with the logical theories such as a programming bug. The Anti-piracy theory was confirmed by Square-Enix public relations, “If gamers are playing a pirated copy the ship from the opening scene will never reach port. This is an Anti-piracy measure we decided to implement.”. A quick scan of the Japanese message boards reveal firmware and cheat code based solutions have apparently already been developed that allow gamers to get past the anti-piracy measures.
The form of piracy these measures are designed to combat are the Nintendo DS ROM Cartridges such as the R4 that allow gamers to load ROM files of their favorite games downloaded from the internet. The ROM cartridge fools the Nintendo DS into believing a real cartridge has been plugged in to the DS and are only limited by memory capacity in terms of how many games can be loaded. These ROM cartridges are being discreetly sold in Akihabara to this day despite Nintendo’s best efforts to crack down on these products.
