Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s new Tingle outfit strikes fear into villagers
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Switch, Wii U | 16 Comments
The first round of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s DLC released today. Among the various features and items introduced is a new Tingle costume. If you approach the villagers in one of the game’s towns, they’ll almost be sent into a panic, and they’ll watch your every move.
You can see Link interacting with villagers in his new Tingle outfit below. Have to admit that it gave me a good chuckle.
Pokken Tournament DX – Switch vs. Wii U graphics comparison, early analysis
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos, Wii U | 52 Comments
Digital Foundry is sharing another technical analysis of a Switch game showcased at E3. This time, Pokken Tournament DX gets the focus.
The first thing Pokken Tournament DX has over its Wii U original is a bump in resolution. Whereas the fighter is running at 960×720 on Wii U, the Switch version is a native 1280x720p – at least when docked. There is a lack of anti-aliasing still, but Switch features improved texture filtering. Pokken Tournament DX also appears to run more consistently at 60 frames per second.
Here’s the full analysis from Digital Foundry:

Aonuma talks about the inclusion of Majora’s Mask in Breath of the Wild’s DLC Pack 1
Posted on 7 years ago by Andrew in News, Switch, Wii U | 4 Comments
The penultimate blog post from Nintendo counting down to the release of DLC Pack 1 for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now live. This post talks about how Majora’s Mask was added to DLC Pack 1 and what the mask does in game when Link has it equipped.
Hello, I’m Aonuma, producer of The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild.
DLC pack 1, The Master Trials will finally be released tomorrow, and today, I’m going to introduce you the final piece of equipment, Majora’s Mask. (This DLC is available only through the purchase of the Expansion Pass. Full version of the game is required to use this DLC.)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was originally released for Nintendo 64™, and the remake was released for Nintendo 3DS™. Majora’s Mask is the scary, cursed mask mentioned in the game’s title.
When the development team started discussing including armor items associated with previous The Legend of Zelda games, I was the first one to speak up: “Please add Majora’s Mask!”
