Ever since the reveal of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, it’s been known that the remake came about while Nintendo was experimenting with different art styles for the series’ next original entry on Wii U. As it turns out, Wind Waker wasn’t the only title the company tinkered around with. Eiji Aonuma confirmed to Polygon that Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were also tested in HD.

So what does this mean for the possibility of these two games also receiving Wii U remakes? Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma isn’t ruling anything out, but having just wrapped up Wind Waker HD and now fully turning his attention to Zelda Wii U, there likely won’t be any additional HD releases in the near future. Aonuma wouldn’t necessarily rule anything out for the future though, telling Polygon:

“I can’t say that the possibility is zero that those will be made into HD, but right now I need to work on the next installation in the series so I don’t have the bandwidth to do that right now. But maybe it will happen if someone else does it.”

Here’s a question: would you like to see Twilight Princess and/or Skyward Sword in HD? If you had to choose one or the other, which would you pick?

The Wonderful 101 went through a series of drastic changes between the creation of the original concept and release of the final product. Originally, Platinum thought about making it as a all-star title with Nintendo characters.

In an interview with USGamer, director Hideki Kamiya revealed that the initial plan was to make the project for Wii. However, the idea wasn’t meant to be, and the project was shelved – until it eventually resurfaced once again as an original superhero game.

He said:

“Initially, it was based on the idea of using these Nintendo characters. At the time Wii U hadn’t been announced yet and there was no knowledge of it. I can’t say with certainty, but I believe this was something that we think of potentially for Wii. And so it was put on hold. Then, one year later, when we came back with the idea of creating this as a superhero game… At that time it wasn’t necessarily based on any specific platform. But when we took it to Nintendo, the discussions went from there, and we decided to put it on Wii.”

Xenoblade Chronicles is currently $80 on GameStop. If you use the coupon “SEPT15” at checkout, you can get the game for $65. Considering GameStop’s recent restock of Xenoblade for $90, buying it for $65 isn’t as terrible.
