THQ Nordic is slowly but surely becoming an important name in the gaming industry. Originally known as Nordic Games, the company rebranded earlier this year. It holds to the rights to notable IPs such as Darksiders, de Blob, Deadly Creatures, and much more.

We recently spoke with THQ Nordic’s Reinhard Pollice in a wide-ranging interview. He commented on the publisher’s continued support of Wii U (whereas most third-parties have moved on), and different IPs such as de Blob and Deadly Creatures. We also asked about why Darksiders Warmastered Edition is taking a bit longer to release on Wii U.

Nintendo sent out the new Zelda 30th anniversary amiibo at the end of last week. We knew that they’d work in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but now we know which villagers are summoned when the different figures are scanned.

8-bit Link will allow Ganon to appear, while Ocarina of Time Link brings in Epona. Toon Link and Toon Zelda both unlock Medli.

Thanks to Cameron for the tip.

Inside Whomp’s Fortress, you can smash a breakable wall in the tower midway through the level. Doing so reveals a secret 1-Up Mushroom to collect.
