Zelda: Twilight Princess HD tweet (2/16/16)
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Today’s Zelda: Twilight Princess HD tweet once again focuses on the Zora tribe. But while yesterday’s message was more about the race in general, this latest one is about the Zora Armor.
Here’s our translation:
“..It’s Malo. These clothes were specially made by the king of the Zora tribe, if you wear it you’ll be able to breathe underwater as well… You’ll understand it when you try to wear it, but you must have also known that you can now swim easier than before…”

Zelda: Twilight Princess HD tweet (2/15/16)
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Another new Twilight Princess HD tweet has been posted on the series’ Japanese Twitter page. Today, “Malo” talks about the Zora tribe and shows off some art.
Here’s our translation:
“…It’s Malo. This is the battle mask worn by the Zora tribe… but there are more variations than I thought. Were they in bad terms against the Goron tribe in the past…? Many of them were used specifically for raids, but on the contrary I think they look more conspicuous…”
No current plans for Pokken Tournament DLC
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 31 Comments
Pokken Tournament’s main lineup of content won’t be expanded – at least right out of the gate. It’s been said that there are currently no plans to release more Pokemon or stages via downloadable content. Will that change at any point in the future? That remains to be seen.

January 2016 NPD: Estimated Wii U sales, Mario & Luigi and Final Fantasy Explorers sales
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 8 Comments
More information is in from this month’s NPD report. We have sales data from the United States for one of Nintendo’s systems as well as two games.
First, in terms of hardware, Wii U sold roughly 40,000 units. Debut sales for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and Final Fantasy Explorers also came in at 71,000 and 53,000 copies respectively.
With the games, it’s important to remember that digital sales are not included. They also launched pretty late in January, so they only have about a week of data.
