Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
There’s a new Twilight Princess HD tweet up on the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. With today’s message, we get to hear a brief update from “Malo” about Poe Souls.
Here’s the full message:
“..It’s Malo. If you beat Poes who only appear at night, you can obtain the Poe Souls. Speaking of which, I heard someone in Castle Town has been wanting these… The number of spirits you’ve collected is recorded in the map on Wii U GamePad, so guys who tend to forget should be relieved too.”

Rumor: Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice now slated for Fall 2016, Mario & Sonic Wii U in June
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 24 Comments
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice was originally slated for Fall 2015. Last September though, SEGA ended up pushing the game back to sometime this year. We’ve yet to receive any news updates since then.
A photo taken at Tomy’s booth from the New York Toy Fair may have revealed an updated release window. If what’s mentioned by the toy manufacturer is accurate, we won’t be seeing Fire & Ice until sometime this fall.
That’s not all though. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Wii U is rumored for June. And for those interested in the Sonic Boom cartoon, that’s apparently set to return this fall as well.
