A new video uploaded by Nintendo’s Japanese YouTube page reveals that a Daisy costume is on the way to Super Mario Maker. Here’s the trailer in question:
I’m not seeing any new Event Courses (aside from today’s “Cooooo!” level), so Daisy doesn’t appear to be available just yet. We’ll let you know when that changes!

Yoshi’s Woolly World images show unused elements

Twitter user Random Talking Bush has been poking around the files of Yoshi’s Woolly World, and in doing so, has managed to come across some interesting content. Quite a bit of what was found seems to be from the early days of development – back when it was going by the tentative Yarn Yoshi name. We see the original Yoshi design, unused texture, and plenty more.
Here’s a look at the various images Random Talking Bush posted on Twitter:
Zelda: Twilight Princess HD lets you hold more Rupees
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 33 Comments
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD will feature some changes from the original game. For instance, thanks to a screenshot provided in this week’s Famitsu, we know that you won’t have to collect as many Tears of Light in Lanayru Province. Another change has been spotted as well.
In the image above, we see that Link is holding 2,000 Rupees. That’s actually double the maximum in the original game (1,000). Might the Giant Wallet hold a greater capacity, or will there be a new one introduced in the remake?

Zelda: Twilight Princess HD has fewer Tears of Light to collect in Lanayru Province
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 50 Comments
As many of you know, this week’s issue of Famitsu has a feature on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. While there are new screenshots, the magazine itself doesn’t share any new details. But there is one interesting and noteworthy change that can be found in one of the images featured in the article.
Above is a photo from the new HD version. Can you spot anything different? Well, it seems there are fewer Tears of Light needed to be collected in Lanayru Province. The original Wii and GameCube versions had 16, but this version only appears to ask for 12. It wouldn’t be surprising to see this change extended to Faron Province and Eldin Province as well – we’ll just have to wait and see!

Scans roundup – Monster Hunter Stories, new Story of Seasons, Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Wii U | 28 Comments
Update 2: Not mentioned in the article specifically, but a Tears of Light change has been spotted in one of the images. See this post.
Update: Having gone through the Twilight Princess HD pages, it seems that it doesn’t talk about new features. Instead it re-introduces the whole game – story, Link’s abilities, etc. Famitsu only mentions that everything is redrawn in full HD… so pretty much nothing new. Enjoy the screenshots though!
This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlighted games include Hyrule Warriors Legends, Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (3DS), Monster Hunter Stories, Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages, and Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Scans of each title can be found in the gallery below.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Super Mario Maker’s latest Event Course and costume unlock have gone live. After completing the “Cooooo!” level, players will receive Yamamura as the latest outfit.
Here’s an overview of the course:
“This course was created by Yamamura of ‘Super Mario Maker: Crash Course’ fame! He might look like a humble pigeon, but don’t let that fool you – he’s a master course creator! Here’s what he had to say: ‘Coo! (To please my fans across the world, I had a special Yamamura costume made. I hope you all clear my course and get it!)'”
And here’s a video for the costume:
