Wii U

Players have created a custom cheat code mod for the Wii U version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, leading to some amazing and downright hilarious results. Almost any object, item, character, or boss can be summoned right out of thin air.

Chadderz and MrBean35000vr created the “Accio Master Code”, which is currently in beta. It’s shown off in the video below. Despite being early on, it’s clear that some great things can already be done.

Warner Bros. has released the final LEGO Dimensions video based on the latest new packs. Along with trailers for Sloth and Chase McCain, we now have one for Hermione as well. View it below.

Sonic and Mario have already been together in a few games. Thanks to Mario & Sonic in the Olympic Games and Smash Bros., it’s not weird anymore to see both of them sharing a scene. However, Mario Kart is still a forbidden area for non-Nintendo characters.

Maybe that’s why modder CorBond87 chose to add Sonic to the Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) roster. By simply changing Metal Mario’s model to that of Sonic’s (probably the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed 3D model), we can see Mario and Sonic sharing a kart race, and it would be completely normal nowadays.

There are still a few things to be polished, since Sonic sounds like Metal Mario and its animations aren’t changed, but it’s really cool to finally see the blue hedgehog in a racing game along with other Nintendo characters.

Here’s the video, so check it out by yourselves.

Takfloyd, a Reddit user, posted that they found a incredible small detail put into the soundtrack for Breath of the Wild. They found out you can hear the morse code for the SOS distress signal when you land on the Divine Beasts for the first time.

Takfloyd wrote:

“I was listening to the soundtrack and spotted this in the first phase of Vah Medoh’s theme, then went back and paid closer attention to the other three Divine Beast background themes and indeed – one of the audio channels beeps out S.O.S. in all of them, until you activate the first terminal and the music changes. In the case of the other three beasts it’s harder to spot because the opposite channel plays a different set of beeps, but it’s unmistakably there. I thought that was interesting.”

You can hear the SOS distress signal for yourself in the first video below, coming in at around 15 seconds. We’ve also included the music for the other Divine Beasts.

One of the new packs for LEGO Dimensions launching this week is based on The Goonies. For a look at the content, watch the attached video below.
