Information leaking out of this week’s Famitsu confirms new playable characters for Hyrule Warriors. Princess Zelda will be included on the roster, as will Midna from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Zelda appears to come equipped with a sword made with magic, and a bow can come into play as well. Meanwhile, Midna fights by using her hair and summoning the wolf of a shadow produced by magic.

Famitsu also touches on other things such as how King Dodongo and Lizalfos are in Hyrule Warriors. There’s also multiplayer with one person playing on the GamePad while the other plays on the TV.

Just to follow up on our last post, we have a tiny bit of additional information about the title Ubisoft is holding back on for Wii U. CEO Yves Guillemot, speaking with Geoff Keighly for Spike’s E3 All Access Show, said it’s mainly targeted more towards “families and friends.”

He stated:

“What we have this year is two games. We have as you said Watch Dogs but we also have Just Dance. And we have another one we didn’t speak about yet. It will come. Just for Wii U… but it’s more for families, families and friends.”

Shiness ended up including Wii U as a stretch goal for its Kickstarter campaign, but sadly, the target wasn’t met. So what does this mean for a potential eShop release?

Fortunately, developer Ynnis Interactive says a Wii U version will still be considered. For those curious, had the extra $30,000 been raised, the team would have had “extra people and extra time” available to ensure that the game worked well on Nintendo’s console.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has spoken about the company’s declining support for Wii U as part of an interview with Polygon. You’ll find his comments below.

“We did adapt the number of products to the level of quantities that the machine did. So we will have Just Dance again which is well suited for the machine. We’ll have Watch Dogs. We have another couple of products that we are waiting to launch, specifically we have one game that we wait for the machine to be more mass market to launch.”

“We don’t have a number. We need the sales to increase so it becomes more and more mass market then we will have the volume that will justify massive marketing and TV marketing.”

“I hope so. We have a game that has been done for six months. It’s on the shelf, waiting for more families to have the console.”

“I think it (ZombiU) was so adapted to the Wii U so (bringing it to another platform) would be difficult to do. Maybe it will come to other platforms, but not as a full game. It was really developed for that type of machine.”

“Nintendo is really coming up with fantastic games,” he said. “They could, with the right price and very good games, help the machine start selling.”

“It could never come out. It could come out on another format… ”

“I think we have to wait for Smash Bros. to come. Smash Bros has always been a big, big property for Nintendo and for gamers. And we all know that there are lots of Nintendo fans that are waiting for big games to come. We know they are coming. We don’t know if they will still be there. I think when I speak with the fans that come to E3 90 percent of them are crazy Nintendo fans. They really love Nintendo and the games they do.”

On another note, Guillemot officially confirmed that Watch Dogs is coming to Wii U in November.
