Natsume has been fielding questions from fans as part of a new winter Q&A. The first three responses were published today, two of which were about the Virtual Console.

First, Natsume shared the following about the possibility of having DS games on the Wii U Virtual Console:

We are always interested in making Natsume’s library of unique and engaging titles avaible for Virtual Console. Currently, we are looking into what we can do… No news yet, but keep watching our social media for any announcements!

Could we see more Harvest Moon games on the Virtual Console? Here’s what Natsume said on that front:

Currently there are a great many Harvest Moon titles available for a variety of Virtual Consoles. Some real classics! When the opportunity allows us to release more games from the Harvest Moon series comes up, we’re sure look into it.

Vincent, who reviewed Hyrule Warriors Legends for us, tipped me off about a neat little inclusion in Hyrule Warriors Legends.

On the game’s loading screen, you can play the ocarina, interestingly enough. There are five buttons that can be used as notes. The X, Y, B, L, and R each play their own respective note. By tilting the d-pad either up or down, you can change the note’s sound.

We have a look at this in the video below. It’s a bit low quality, but it was the best Vincent could do!
