Nintendo has opened the full website for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. You can find it here. The site contains a rundown of the game’s features, story, and more. There’s also a few wallpapers and Facebook profile photos to download.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.


WayForward came out with Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition for the Wii U’s launch. However, it sounds like we could have received an alternative HD title from the studio: Shantae.

WayForward’s Matt Bozon, in an interview with Nintendo Life, revealed that the initial plan was to bring out an HD Shantae title when the Wii U hit store shelves. The idea was eventually swapped though, with Mighty Switch Force! 2 taking its place.

Bozon said:

I’m looking back at concept art and creative documents — the initial germ of the project…

It looks like we started in October of 2011. We wanted to have a new HD Shantae for the launch of the Wii U, but as we drew closer it became clear that we should shift gears. We put Half-Genie Hero on low burn, and focused instead on Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition. During that time, I kept tweaking the Shantae design and adding concept artwork here and there. We didn’t get a full team on the proof-of-concept demo (the Kickstarter video) until around E3 of this year.
