[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. 🙂
