A scan from the latest Famitsu has revealed that the Goddess  Sword herself, Fi, will be a playable character in Hyrule Warriors. There are a few details that have come out with the scan:

• Link and Zelda will both be able to wear their Skyward Sword costumes
• The Ball and Chain from Twilight Princess will be in-game
• Ghirahim and the Imprisoned will also make an appearance in Hyrule Warriors

Little else is known outside of what’s available from the scan, but no doubt more information will be surface in the coming days.

Palutena gets the spotlight twice today as Sakurai shows off her huge up-smash attack:

I talked about an attack with a far reach in yesterday’s post, but it didn’t compare to Palutena’s up smash attack! No joke, it reaches really far. It reached so far in this shot that even the rocketbarrels got blown up.

However, it appears it’s not without drawbacks:

That said, if we’re talking just about range, even that can’t beat Palutena’s power, Heavenly Light. It has quite a damage field. However, this is a no-flinch attack, which means the opponents won’t react to the damage!

A day 1 patch for Youkai Watch 2 is apparently available for players who already have a copy of the game in Japan. Along with the purchase of the game, a QR code is included with the box that takes 3DS systems straight to the eShop to download. Currently it’s unknown what the day 1 patch adds,  it could possibly be related to some of the announcements of last week’s Nintendo Direct. We’ll update the post as new information surfaces

Currently there is no discount on the physical releases, so this could be a good opportunity for those looking to pick up either game to take the plunge

Today’s screenshot features the Mii Gunner once again, as Sakurai explains one of the possible attacks available to Mii fighters:

The Mii Gunner’s side smash attack may have the farthest reach of all the side smashes…as should be expected from a firearms expert!! Looks like the attack missed this time, though.
