Aonuma suggests he wanted to announce something relating to Zelda Wii U at Comic Con, preparing to show “something new” soon
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 11 Comments
Eiji Aonuma recently stated he would “say more” about Zelda Wii U at next year’s E3. But apparently, he originally intended to make an announcement earlier this month.
The news comes from a recent interview Aonuma conducted with German publication Gameswelt TV. Translations of his comments suggest that he had hoped to share news at the New York Comic Con, but was too preoccupied preparing for his presentation. Aonuma ended up telling Gameswelt, “As soon as I am back at my office I will start preparing something new that I can show.”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 Comments
Amazon has already put up listings
for Activision’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game. Apparently, it’ll be priced lower on Nintendo platforms.
Amazon currently has the Wii U version priced at $49.99 while other console versions are set at $59.99. Also worth mentioning, the 3DS version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will only cost $29.99
. Most 3DS titles tend to cost $39.99.
These could be generous or tentative listings by Amazon, so you may as well as pre-order now if you have any interest. Then again, perhaps Activision has actually decided to set the price of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 $10 lower on Nintendo platforms.

Spike just recently put up an interview with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma. It’s filled with lots of questions about A Link Between Worlds, such as stealth elements, Ravio’s role, comparisons to New Super Mario Bros. U’s Nabbit, and whether it was ever considered for Wii U (nope). Aside from that, there are also some off-beat topics like localizing Marvelous: Another Treasure (directed by Aonuma many years ago).
You can find some excerpts from the interview below. Spike’s full piece is located here.
