If you want to know how the systems in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild really work, then you'll want to watch this full presentation from GDC.

No Man's Sky may not have been the ultimate in procedural space sims, but for some, it was good enough.

He even presented at this year's GDC, revealing a few fascinating tidbits about the game's launch and the company's future.

During a talk at the Game Developers Conference, Nintendo gave everyone a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Breath of the Wild. What you're looking at above is technically an early playable version of a game releasing in 2017.

This week on Kotaku Splitscreen, we're doing a series of episodes form the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
