Earlier this week, fans launched a petition in hopes of convincing Nintendo to include Robin Williams in the upcoming Zelda game for Wii U as a tribute. The idea is to have an NPC in title named after the legendary actor and comedian. Nearly 100,000 fans have signed the petition thus far.
Nintendo has since weighed in on Williams’ passing as well as the petition as a whole. A representative told Polygon in a statement:

Night Trap ReVamped team decides to leave the past behind, applying to become Wii U dev/publisher

Some Hyrule Warriors players experiencing a few technical issues
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 36 Comments
Hyrule Warriors appears to be suffering from freezing issues – at least for some players. A few users have taken to Twitter and made note of the game locking up at different occasions such as in co-op mode, on the results screen, and even the title screen.
Some Hyrule Warriors players have also encountered “processing drop” issues (seemingly a dip in frame rate). This may occur while slaying multiple enemies at once, resulting in the FPS being cut in half.
On the bright side, Koei Tecmo is aware of some of the problems affecting Hyrule Warriors. The game’s Twitter account recently said that a few bug reports had been received and the team planned on working through the Japanese holiday this past week.
