First look at the Zelda: Twilight Princess HD pre-order CD (GameStop)

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Images, Wii U | 17 Comments

By pre-ordering The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, consumers will receive a special bonus. Nintendo is including a sound selecting CD with reservations. GameStop posted a photo of the pre-order bonus, which we have above.

Nintendo and GameStop are actually calling this an “exclusive”. But as far as I’m aware, this should be available at multiple stores. Nintendo said in its original announcement: “The game’s iconic soundtrack will be offered as a bonus for fans who pre-order the game from select retailers.” So… I’m not quite sure why GameStop has this labeled as an exclusive. Maybe something has changed. If you really want the CD and live in North America, you should maybe go ahead and reserve the title at GameStop just to be safe.

Super Mario Maker levels still being deleted, sometimes with no explanation

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 65 Comments

Nintendo removing courses from Super Mario Maker isn’t anything new, as this has been taking place since launch. However, while it’d make sense for something like a level that uses glitches to be taken down, users are being frustrated by their uploads leaving the online servers simply due to unpopularity. Making matters worse, some are told that their courses are banned – even after applying extensive changes – and cannot be re-submitted.

Perhaps the biggest issue here is the lack of communication. In some cases, players simply have no idea why their course was removed. That can definitely lead to some understandable disappointment!
