Is it too early to start hyping up Zelda Wii U? Probably. Skyward Sword literally just shipped to stores a little more than a week ago.

Even so, Zelda fans are probably wondering about what Nintendo has in store for the next entry in the franchise. Eiji Aonuma wouldn’t divulge much to Nintendo Power (he mainly discussed the need to “challenge the conventions of Zelda”) but he also took a moment to tease “big things to come” for Zelda in general.

He told the magazine:

“Skyward Sword is a title where we took aim at all the conventions of the Zelda series. While that may have been difficult, I think that confronting those challenges resulted in something that has a great deal of value. When it comes to Wii U, we’ll obviously want to add new elements that take advantage of the capabilities of the platform. I think using that as a lens through which we once again challenge the conventions of Zelda is more important than just making another Zelda game. With that in mind, please expect big things from the Zelda series to come!”

I don’t know if I handle teases this soon – especially if it takes another five years to make a console Zelda!

Thanks to Jake for the tip!

The comparisons above are making the rounds on some Japanese sites today. This is really our first look at how the 3DS/Vita versions of Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die compare. The 3DS images are on the left while the Vita screenshots are on the right.

Nintendo told fans that they would deliver 10 free NES games and 10 free Game Boy Advance titles to 3DS “Ambassadors” who purchased the system before August 12. So far, they’ve followed through on one half of their promise.

We heard that the GBA titles would make it out this year (the NES games were made available a few months ago), but now people are beginning to wonder if that will actually happen. There’s only a few weeks left in 2011, and a hint from Nintendo of Spain seems to say that Ambassadors will be asked to wait until next year for their rewards.

Nintendo of Spain’s Ambassador site contains the following blurb about the GBA titles:

Available from next year.
Game Boy Advance titles for the Virtual Console service

Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Metroid Fusion
WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
and five titles

Nintendo has been delaying 3DS-related items lately, so this wouldn’t be entirely surprising. Until we hear something official though, take this rumor with a grain of salt.
