Last year, GameXplain tested the NES Classic Edition with some Wii U games and the the Virtual Console. With the SNES Classic Edition’s launch, it’s time for another test.

Like we heard earlier in the week, the SNES Classic controller works absolutely fine with the NES Classic. You can also use it with Mario Kart 8 on Wii U as well as the Wii U Virtual Console. Since the SNES Classic controller layout is similar to the Wii Classic Controller, you shouldn’t have too many issues with the VC for the most part.

Nintendo has once again carried out an item distribution for Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch. If you subscribed to the game’s news channel, you should be receiving a message from director Hidemaro Fujibayashi.

Hyrule Bass, Hylian Shrooms, and a Raw Bird Drumstick are this week’s distributions. Once you receive the message, you should see a link to boot up Zelda: Breath of the Wild. All of these items will appear in your game immediately.

Nintendo has posted a video with the producer for Breath of the Wild, Eiji Aonuma talking about that Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Korean languages will be coming to Breath of the Wild in early 2018 next year.
