Next week, Hyrule Warriors will be receiving a new update. The game will be brought up to version 1.4.0.

Koei Tecmo updated the Japanese Hyrule Warriors website today with details about what the update will include. First, as previously mentioned, the title will be gaining amiibo support. Koei Tecmo is also increasing the level cap and the number of materials raised, and there will be new potions as well as new medals.

Hyrule Warriors’ next update will be available on November 27.

Some interesting Smash Wii U facts are starting to pop up all over the place and while they’re not all big headliners, some of them are definitely worth sharing! Here’s a round-up of what we’ve found so far (we’ll update the post if any other interesting ones pop up):

  • Japanese New 3DS’s have been confirmed to work on the NA version of Smash Wii U, so we can assume there’s no region locking on 3DS’s as controllers
  • After playing someone online in For Fun / For Glory, you can send them a friend request
  • The random name generator in the game has a few cool entries, “FILS-A-MEK” and “PLAYITLOUD” are entries that may pop up when shuffling for a name

Not huge news by any means, but definitely neat little additions!

Not a whole lot to say today, it’s launch day… Well, if you’re in the Americas at least (as Sakurai points out):


He continues with some information on control schemes:

Here’s a look at the controls screen for the Wii U Pro Controller. We needed to match the default settings for all controllers for buttons such as L and R, but there must be players out there that want to use the ZL and ZR Buttons for shielding. You can set the controls closer to the GameCube controller if you set the B Button for standard attacks and Y for special moves. Set up your controls however you like in Controls.

Since we’re being careful with spoilers here, head past the break for the video!

A new message on the official Zelda Facebook page provides another look at the Hyrule Warriors Twilight Princess Pack, which launches next week.

We found out a few days ago that Twili Midna will be added as a playable character. It’s now been confirmed that Zelda will be getting a new weapon, and Link will be able to wear a Postman costume.
