The Villager’s bug catching net that was shown in the movie is actually a grapple move. It is sort of like Link’s Clawshot and Samus’s Grapple Beam.

Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida had a few words to share about the Wii U and Nintendo and general while speaking with IGN during a recent interview.

Regarding Wii U, Yoshida admitted that he has two consoles and actively plays the system with his daughters. He also said Nintendo’s messaging was initially “a bit confusing”, though they now seem to be heading back on track.

Yoshida later went on to discuss the importance of Nintendo doing well in the industry. He believes the Big N and Sony fall under the same group, and with tablet/mobile games on the rise, Yoshida wants “Nintendo to be very successful to help induct as many consumers who like to play games with controllers”.

You can find Yoshida’s full comments below (or in the video above at the 15-minute mark).
