Hyrule Warriors won’t feature any major voice acting, according to the game’s official Twitter account. Players will instead by presented with the standard types of voices that the Zelda series has been known for.

“Each character’s voice is modeled after the Zelda universe,” a message posted on the game’s Japanese Twitter account states. “It will have that ‘Hey! Listen!’ kind of feeling.”

I imagine that most won’t be surprised by this news. Still, I’m curious: how do you guys feel about the lack of expanded voice acting?

Select Club Nintendo members who have reached Platinum Status were recently provided with a Tomodachi Life demo code. Some fans were disappointed to have not received access, though you’ll be pleased to hear that a trial will be made available to all once the game is available.

Here’s what’s planned, as described by a Nintendo customer service representative:

– If you buy Tomodachi Life in North America digitally, you’ll apparently receive the download code for the “Move-In” demo (given to Club Nintendo members) and two codes for the physical version
– Transfer save data from the Move-In demo (and the Panda Suit bonus items) to the full version
– Standard demo will be available for everyone after Tomodachi Life launches

So there you have it! You should have no problem getting your hands on a demo for Tomodachi Life.

Thanks to Jordan W for the tip.
