Nintendo is finally ready to talk about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD again in an official capacity. The series’ Japanese Twitter account was updated today with a brief introduction from Eiji Aonuma… as well as Malo, a character in the game.

Nintendo didn’t touch on new features just yet. However, some art was posted (pictured above). We also have this translation of the various tweets:

“Hello, this is Aonuma. This year the world of Twilight returns in HD after 10 years. From today we’d like to introduce information on Twilight Princess for a while.

Twilight Princess is a story about the 2 worlds of ‘Light’ and ‘Darkness’. The game’s scale was getting bigger, and at the early stages of the original [GameCube version], we drew a lot of setting scenes. We also plan to publish [things like] discussions and [hidden] treasured images at times, so please look forward to them!

The introductions from now on will be brought by Malo who appears in this game. Malo, I’m leaving it to you!

…I’m Malo. I may look like this, but I’m the owner of ‘Malo Mart’, the hero of prices. …I won’t forgive you if you think I’m a child and ridicule me [because of that]…”

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is going for $60 at retail. At the moment, the only way to pick up the game physically is by snagging the amiibo bundle. If you opt for the digital release though, you can save a little bit of cash.

Amazon just recently opened up pre-orders for the digital version of Twilight Princess HD. If you choose this option, it’ll only cost $50. You’ll miss out on the Wolf Link amiibo of course, but I do know that some of you aren’t interested in the figure. It’s almost certain that purchasing the game directly from the eShop will also cost $50.

A few days ago, Twitter user Random Talking Bush posted a whole bunch of images showing unused content from Yoshi’s Woolly World. He’s also now posted a video of a level that didn’t make it into the final game. It seems to be the same level used at one point in development back when it was known as Yarn Yoshi, but there are a few changes.

Here’s the video:

Just like the game itself, Nintendo has updated the Super Mario Maker Bookmark site. It’s now possible to filter levels by difficulty. The options include “Easy”, “Normal”, “Expert”, and “Super Expert”.

If you play Super Mario Maker and have yet to give the Bookmark site a look, you can do so here. It’s extremely useful since you can search for courses, save them for later, and then easily access them on Wii U.

Splatoon’s latest North American Splatfest has drawn to a close. After a day of battling, we now know the winning side of the past vs. future theme.

Team Future was much more popular than Team Past having received 61 percent of the vote. However, since the past side had more wins (55 percent), that led them to victory. The final score was 369 points for Team Past and 331 points for Team Future.
