This could be one of the craziest Easter eggs in Skyward Sword… if it really is an Easter egg, that is. But there are some interesting similarities in what I’m about to describe.

So, Skyward Sword has a pub called the Lumpy Pumpkin. Twilight Princes has a similar location in Castle Town called Telma’s Bar. Pumm, Kina, Rusta, and Keet can all be found at the Lumpy Pumpkin on a regular basis. The same goes with “The Group”/”The Resistance”, who spend their time at Telma’s Bar. This group consists of Telma, Auru, Ashei, and Shad.

What’s most intriguing is how these characters’ looks are quite comparable. Pumm has his hair up and is a bit on the chubby side like Telma, and Rusta’s hair is very similar to Auru’s (they’re both old men, too!). Kina and Ashei look somewhat similar, as do Keet and Shad.

If this is at all confusing, I suggest you take a look at the comparisons in the gallery above. Comparison images from left to right: Ashei/Kina, Auru/Rusta, Shad/Keet, and Telma/Pumm.

I feel like this has to be more than a coincidence since Skyward Sword contains tons of references to past Zelda titles. What do you guys think?

Thanks to PointSkyward for the tip!

Best Buy has attached the photo above to its Mario Party 9 page. Apparently it’ll be the game’s final boxart. It’s too small to make anything out at the moment, so consider it a preview of sorts.

If you want to play the second installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 series, you’ll have to download it on a platform other than Wii. SEGA has confirmed that Episode 2 will not be released for WiiWare.

Brand Manager Ken Balough wrote on the company’s official forums:

“…Episode II unfortunately will not be coming to the Wii – for reasons most people have probably guessed, but that doesn’t mean the SEGA isn’t supporting Nintendo platforms, we have a very strong partnership and will continue to do so.”

The situation is most likely related to WiiWare’s file size limitation. The developers are using a new graphics engine (and a new physics engine), which may make it difficult to cram the game into 40 MB.
