A now-pulled trailer for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD confirms rumors of a Wii U bundle. The package will come with a 32GB console and a copy of the game.

Perhaps best of all is the special design included on the GamePad. There’s a small chance that it’s a decal, but given how Nintendo approaches its limited edition 3DS releases, it’s likely embedded right in. You can get a look at the controller through the image above.

The Wonderful 101 has a “really hard mode”, Kamiya couldn’t beat it

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments

The Wonderful 101 includes a number of difficulty modes, one of which was so tough that director Hideki Kamiya couldn’t complete it.

Nintendo’s Hitoshi Yamagami, producer Atsushi Inaba, and Nintendo director Shingo Matsushita shared the news in a new Iwata Asks. The three said:

Yamagami: That’s right. We’ve also prepared a really hard mode that should probably be called ‘A challenge from Kamiya.’ How hard is it? Probably only Kamiya-san and the super debuggers from Mario Club are able to beat it.
Inaba: No, Kamiya can’t do it.
Matsushita: It was so challenging, I asked Kamiya-san to help us out with the debugging process, but he said he couldn’t do it.

Wilson stated:

“We’re not building for Nintendo right now, but we have a tremendous relationship with them and have had a long relationship with them, and should it make sense for us to do so in the future we’ll absolutely roll that into the plan.”
