It’s a double-dose of Zelda updates in this week’s Famitsu. Along with new details about Hyrule Warriors Legends, the magazine has presented more information about The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes.

In terms of the plot, there was a beautiful, fashionable Princess in a beloved, fashionable Kingdom. However, a witch curses the princess to wear tights that cover her completely and cannot be removed. The king then sought the “Legendary Hero” to defeat the witch in order to undo this spell.

Famitsu shares the following about some of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes’ characters:

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Back in July, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon was featured in a live stream. The same thing will once again be happening on September 16.

Other Pokemon games like Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire will also be shown during the stream. But since we really only care about Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon – the new game here – this is when it will be highlighted on the broadcast:

– 5 AM PT
– 8 AM ET
– 10 AM in the UK
– 11 AM in Europe

The stream will be hosted on Niconico here.

I also wanted to mention that Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda put up a tweet recently about a tease for the Pokemon anime. News will be announced in the upcoming issue of CoroCoro, though it will also be on TV Tokyo next Tuesday. We should be hearing about the silhouetted Pokemon from the movie trailer. We’ll let you know if anything else comes in!
