Will Turnbow, a dedicated Zelda fan, and his wife made an absolutely amazing animated Skyward Sword cake for their daughter’s tenth birthday. The cake features Skyloft, the Sealed Grounds, the Faron Woods, as well as other elements from the Wii title.

“The Temple entrance is 6 batches of Rice Krispies and the backside of the temple is 9 cakes stacked as high as we could make it. The small tower on either side are styrofoam wrapped with fondant. My wife made and painted all of the characters out of clay except for Link (I was able to use my Figma Link).”

I’m conflicted. I love me some Toki Tori, but I can’t stand the Harlem Shake. I feel like that meme ran its course weeks ago!

An official tweet from the SimCity Twitter account states:

The last SimCity game for consoles was SimCity Creator. EA published the game for Wii back in 2008.

David Byers, the sole creator of Another Castle, is currently hard at work on completing the platformer. But what lies ahead for the future?

While he can’t officially confirm anything at present, Byers is thinking about “making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U.” It wouldn’t be a platformer like Another Castle, and it would “look completely different”.

“I’m considering making a tiny, quirky project from the ground up just for the Wii U. Mainly just for fun. I don’t have any specific plans yet, all I know is it won’t be a platformer, and it will look completely different from Another Castle.”

Mojang’s Jens Bergensten was quoted as saying earlier this week that a Wii U version of Minecraft is “very unlikely.” But his words weren’t intended to be looked upon as a big negative for Nintendo’s console.

Bergensten has since clarified that when it comes to bringing Minecraft to new platforms, “Wii U is no more likely than any other platforms, but no less either.”

“The reason I said that is that the Wii U hasn’t even been mentioned when we’re talking about Minecraft platforms. However, I’m only responsible for the PC and Pocket editions, so the question wasn’t mine to answer. The Wii U is no more likely than any other platforms, but no less either.”

Would Minecraft on Wii U be something that you guys would like to see?
