Update: Deal is dead on Amazon, but you may be able to find the game in-store at Target for the same price.

Amazon has Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition for one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for the game thus far. You can purchase the fighter for just $10 – it’s certainly worth that much.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is somewhat special on Wii U. It features costumes from Nintendo’s franchises along with a unique mode which incorporates power-ups from the Mario series.

Killing not your sort of thing? No worries. Watch_Dogs allows players to tackle almost all missions through stealth rather than weapons.

Senior director Dominic Guay, in an interview with Polygon, noted that roughly “95 percent of missions you can completely stealth through, or flee or chase without having to shoot”. Very few missions require players to kill others, Guay confirmed.

He said:

“About 95 percent of missions you can completely stealth through, or flee or chase without having to shoot. So it’s really player choice-driven. There are a very few, very limited amount of missions that will force you to kill people.”

It didn’t take Nintendo very long at all to develop The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Series producer Eiji Aonuma revealed in a 4Gamer interview that it took just six months to create, give or take.

Aonuma also pointed out that he “thought it would be a waste to for this to simply be a test of the hardware,” which is one explanation as to how the Wii U release came to be. Wind Waker’s look, as well as other Zelda art styles, had been tested in HD.

Aonuma’s comments in full:

Nintendo’s North American Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze teaser site is now open. Access it here. The full site is apparently coming soon, though the wait could be awhile given how Tropical Freeze was recently pushed back to February 2014.

The site houses Donkey Kong’s debut trailer as well as a first screenshot. There’s also a very brief overview with a confirmation that six islands are included, featuring Mangrove swamps, Savannah storms, ocean depths, and the frozen landscape of DK Island.

Thanks to Tytygh for the tip.
