As it turns out, the DK Bongos are also supported! You know, those controllers that were made for Donkey Konga and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat for the GameCube. Players can use the DK Bongos by plugging them in via the new GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U.

Nintendo’s updated amiibo website gives a complete overview about the compatibility of the different figures in Hyrule Warriors.

Here’s a look as to what’s posted on the site:

Tap the Link amiibo figure to receive a new weapon to use in battle: the Spinner from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game.
Tap the Zelda amiibo figure once per day to get a weapon rated 3 stars or higher.
Tap any other amiibo figure once per day to get a weapon rated 3 starts or lower, Rupee bonus or crafting material bonus.

Hyrule Warriors will receive an update later this month for added amiibo functionality.

3DS homebrew exploit to be released on November 22

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments

As some of you know, hacker “smealum” has been tinkering away on homebrew for 3DS. It’s all being done through the exploit known as “SSSPwn”, which will be available very soon. We’re hearing reports that the exploit will be released this Saturday – November 22.

3DS owners will be able to install homebrew on their system by using a cheap, old game available in all regions (though it’s not out digitally everywhere). Note that piracy will not be enabled. It will instead allow custom applications to be added such as “3DScraft”, and there is a possibility that region locking could be disabled in the future.

Thanks to Edgarska for the tip.
