What better way is there to start a Nintendo conference than with a live Zelda performance? That’s exactly what attendees were treated to in 2011. A full-blown orchestra performed a medley of tunes from the Zelda series, capped off with new footage from Skyward Sword.
A series of Zelda announcements followed: Link’s Awakening 3DS VC release that very day, Four Swords for DSiWare, Skyward Sword’s gold Wiimote, symphony concerts, and music CDs.
The 3DS received the spotlight next. Nintendo unveiled new trailers for Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. Time was also taken to highlight Star Fox 64 3D.
What followed was all Wii U – the system’s name, GamePad reveal, overview trailer, and games. The very mention of Smash Bros. earned a huge reaction.
And who can forget how Nintendo closed its conference? With now-former EA CEO John Riccitiello coming on stage to announce the publisher’s “unprecedented partnership” with Nintendo. Oh how quickly things can change…

WayForward will consider Mighty Switch Force! 2 for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Mighty Switch Force! 2 could make its way to the Wii U much like its predecessor.
Speaking with Nintendo Force this month, WayForward’s Matt Bozon said that the studio will “certainly look into it.” But don’t expect a Wii U version immediately – “it would have to be at a later date”, according to Bozon.
“For now, Shantae is taking the front seat. If we did MSF2 in HD, it would have to be at a later date. However many fans have been asking us to consider deploying the pixel-based 3DS game to Wii U. That’s possible, so we’ll certainly look into it.”
Mighty Switch Force! originally started out as a 3DS eShop game. Nearly a year later, WayForward ended up bringing an HD version to Wii U in time for the console’s launch.

Rumor has it that Nintendo Network ID functionality will be expanded to the 3DS. News about the account system, as well as Hulu support for the platform, is allegedly due later this year.
The speculation comes from Emily Rogers, who has maintained a fairly decent track record when it comes to Nintendo rumors.
Rogers tweeted a short while ago:
Should hear about 3DS NNID account system before end of this year.Hulu coming to 3DS this year.

The Wii U currently incorporates a Nintendo Network ID, which connects to the Nintendo Network. It is used for Miiverse and friend mechanics.

A Hat in Time’s dev trying to get Unreal license for Wii U version
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
A Hat in Time’s developer has been pushing to get its game on the Wii U. As far as the specifics go, creator Jonas Kaerlev and his studio Gears for Breakfast needs to obtain a license to port the game over, as it’s made in Unreal.
Gears for Breakfast is currently in talks with Epic Games to work out a deal. Additionally, Kaerlev confirmed to Polygon that the team is talking with a separate publisher about using their license in exchange for a “cut of the cake.” Gears for Breakfast has also been in touch with Nintendo so that it can become a licensed publisher on Wii U.
