2016 could be a big year for...
Zelda (30th Anniversary)
Nintendo has three Zelda-related projects on the books. Hyrule
Warriors Legends, Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Zelda Wii U
First two new details dropped yesterday (max rupees count is
higher and less tears to collect) based on Famitsu’s four pages of
coverage.
Amazon France claims Zelda; Twilight Princess HD will have the
following features:
Hero Mode (duh)
Wii U GamePad will be used to manage the player’s inventory in
real-time
Link, Toon Link, Zelda, and Sheik amiibo, when activated,
replenish hearts or arrows
Wolf Link amiibo is set to unlock a new dungeon, which loosely
translates as “The Cave of Twilight.” **This could be big**
Reminder: This amiibo is tied to new Zelda.
Metroid (30th Anniversary)
This week, Metroid Zero Mission is finally released on VC.
Question from Erik Osborne: "Even though I’ve been a big
Nintendo fan for a long time, I've oddly never played a Metroid
game outside of a few minutes here and there. I've been thinking of
playing through the series due to there not being a lot of games.
Would you recommend playing it in order of release, or
chronological order story-wise? Thanks, love the podcast."
Will Metroid Prime: Federation Force return?
Will Samus return in 2016?
Pokemon (20th Anniversary)
Japan is getting Four Poke-themed 2DS bundles
US and EUR are getting special New 3DS and 2DS bundles
respectively
