[Review] Hyrule Warriors (Wii U)
Posted on 10 years ago by Vincent Ward in Features, Reviews, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
System: Wii U
Release Date: September 26, 2014
Developer: Koei Tecmo
Publisher: Nintendo
Author: Vincent
Calling me a Legend of Zelda fan would be a bit of an understatement. If you were to step into my room, you’d be blinded by the posters and merchandise scattered from one wall to another, all finished off with my saddening number of physical Zelda titles. So with the announcement of Hyrule Warriors during last December’s Nintendo Direct, I was nothing short of excited; providing an excuse for having our beloved Zelda worlds and characters collide in one epic horde fighting action game sounds like a dream come true, and every day I spent waiting for the game felt like an eternity. Now that I’ve sped my way through this long journey over the past week, I can safely say my excitement was placed in good hands.

Wii U version of Bayonetta 1 makes a small change to Jeanne’s model
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Wii U | 44 Comments
There are a few differences in the Wii U version of Bayonetta 1 compared to the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games. There’s off-TV play and touchscreen support on the GamePad. A few Nintendo costumes are also included. As it turns out, PlatinumGames also made a change to Jeanne’s model.
As explained by the studio’s JP Kellams:
So much for Digital Foundry: they missed the biggest difference between the 360 and Wii U versions of Bayo. We fixed Jeanne’s chest size.

Kamiya wasn’t happy with the original model (chest was too big), so we made it smaller, like the concept art. 🙂

Cyber Gadget will soon be releasing a special adapter in Japan. This will allow PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC USB, and joystick controllers to work with a Wii U or Wii console.
Here’s a listing of controllers guaranteed to be compatible with the adapter:

The adapter connects through the port in the Wii Remote. It weighs 20 grams, and the cable is 15 centimeters long.
There are some important disclaimers to keep in mind. Depending on the system software your Wii U/Wii uses, the adapter may not work properly. It’s also possible that a future update will cause the product to malfunction. For some games, the adapter may not work at all or work in an unstable way. And of course, controllers that are not specifically listed above may not work.
Cyber Gadget will be releasing the adapter on November 30 in Japan. Amazon Japan lists a 2,894 yen price point.

Demand surpasses supply at Nintendo World for Hyrule Warriors Limited Edition
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 21 Comments
The North American Hyrule Warriors Limited Edition was truly limited. Prior to the store’s opening, 600 fans showed up at Nintendo World in New York earlier today in hopes of grabbing a copy, but many left empty handed.
Reports indicate that there were between 300 and 500 units available. It seems that if you weren’t on line by 4 AM or so, you wouldn’t have an opportunity to obtain a wristband entitling yourself to a copy. All stock was distributed within Nintendo World’s first opening hour today.
The situation was much different in Europe and Japan. Both territories received limited edition releases of Hyrule Warriors that were distributed in larger quantities and at several retailers.
Some fans who were able to grab a copy of the Hyrule Warriors Limited Edition from Nintendo World are now turning to eBay in hopes of turning a profit. There are already a few listings seeking over $250.
