Asa Butterfield, the star of Ender’s Game, has quite a bit of experience with Nintendo gaming.

Butterfield told EDGE this month that he played Zelda: Wind Waker and Mario Kart: Double Dash on the GameCube. Wind Waker HD is what’s motivating him to pick up a Wii U, he said.

Butterfield’s comments in full:

My brother and I would play Driver and Metal Gear Solid on PS1, but the first console I had myself was a GameCube. I’d play The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Mario Kart: Double Dash for hours. The HD version of Wind Waker is what makes me want to get a Wii U.
