Midna isn’t always a friendly character in Hyrule Warriors. Specifically, at the start of the game, she leads demons who appear to be Salfos. Midna steals a butterfly as well, which seems to lead to Agitha’s involvement in the game.

Some more teasing from Mr Sakurai today, this time pertaining to Little Mac:

The pink sweatshirt looks really cool on Little Mac, so you can use that outfit in this game… How can a pink sweatshirt look so cool?

He doesn’t stop there:

Looks like some of you noticed that this version of Little Mac wasn’t shown at E3. There are many things, like Link’s Skyward Sword tunic design I posted earlier, that haven’t been revealed yet.

Magic Pockets, the developer of today’s newly-announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for 3DS, is working on an unannounced Wii U title. That’s according to a listing on the studio’s website.

No word on what Magic Pockets is working on for Wii U at this time. There is a strong possibility that the project in question is for Activision, and it could always be a licensed game.
