Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and the rest of his team attempted to change up the series’ classic standards with Skyward Sword. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to get the results they desired.
Aonuma seems more dead set on mixing things up with the first original Zelda for Wii U. He personally is pushing for change, as he’s “getting tired” of the formula.
The brand new Zelda title appears to be in the testing stages currently. Aonuma told the Los Angeles Times that the team is “exploring our options” and “still seeing what we can do.”
It’s not that anyone is telling me we have to change the formula. I want to change it. I’m kind of getting tired of it. If I’m getting tired of it, then I’m sure other people are getting tired of it. There is an essential ‘Zelda’ I feel we need to stay true to. We are still testing things, exploring our options. We haven’t landed anywhere at this point. We’re still seeing what we can do.
What I want to do, not specifically with Link but with the ‘Zelda’ franchise, I’m always striving to make something no one else can, something that is so distinctly ‘Zelda’ that it can only be done in a ‘Zelda’ game. There are times when I hit walls and I can’t come up with new ideas and I think maybe I should just give up and quit, but eventually a new idea comes along and I’m proud of myself. It breeds new life into the creative process. I go through these phases, over and over again. I hope those high points keep on coming.
One element that will probably remain unchanged is the lack of voice acting. Aonuma feels that adding voices is unlikely to happen.
Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios announced Martian Manhunter as the fifth DLC character for Injustice: Gods Among Us at Evo 2013 today. Additionally, the John Stewart Green Lantern skin will be added to the fighter.
Nintendo’s decision to allow for Super Smash Bros. Melee streaming at Evo 2013 was a good thing – especially for the event itself.
Tournament founder Tom Cannon announced on Twitter has become the most-watched fighting game in history. Over 100,000 people tuned in to see the game in action, and that count continues to rise.
For now, Smash Bros Melee is the most watched fighting game in history, with 100k concurrent #evo2013 viewers!

Thanks to lmalafaia for the tip.
This is definitely one of the more stranger things I’ve seen…
Thanks to Mo for the tip.
Those who pre-order Pikmin 3 from GAME will receive a Pink Flying Pikmin key ring. If you’ve already reserved it from the retailer, you’ll still receive the bonus. An image of the key ring is attached above.
Prior to the airing of the Extremespeed Genesect: Mewtwo’s Awakening movie in Japan, a new Pokemon X/Y commercial was shown. It gave a look at a couple of new things: the player riding a bike and another brand new Pokemon tentatively known as “Aurotto”.
We don’t have a clear image of it yet (two rough sketches are above), but Pokebeach does say that Aurotto “was brown and green like a tree’s typical coloring but looked extremely menacing and spider-like.” The commercial depicted the Pokemon in a hoard battle.
