Earlier today, Kotaku published a massive article covering The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Shigeru Miyamoto was brought in to discuss the game’s development, and touched on subjects such as initially wanting to make it first-person, the turning points of introducing Epona and young/adult Link, and more.
We’ve picked out a few select quotes below. You can find Kotaku’s full feature here.
Remember how it was initially thought that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies wouldn’t be available on the 3DS eShop in Japan? As it turns out, this isn’t so. Capcom announced today that Dual Destinies will launch digitally on July 25 for 5,990 yen – the same day and price as the retail version.
Nicalis confirmed on Twitter just a short while ago that 1001 Spikes will include multiplayer. The company hasn’t dished out any specifics, but it sounds like up to four players will be able to participate together.

During the January Nintendo Direct, it was announced that two major updates were planned for Wii U. The first arrived on schedule, having launched in April. The second – scheduled for summer – may see a slight delay.
A note on Nintendo’s Wii U update page confirms that the next major update will be available between the end of September and beginning of October. It will bring about “further additions to system functionality”. Among the changes should be even faster load times.
There you have it. We can definitely rule out an imminent arrival for the big firmware update. With summer ending on September 21, it’s also possible that Nintendo could miss its originally intended release window.
Update 2: Official notes from Nintendo confirm the following:
The standby functions will now regularly connect to the Internet when the Wii U is powered down to check for available SpotPass data or software and system updates
Further improvements to overall system stability and software compatibility
Update: The update is actually out now! Keep in mind that you will be unable to access the eShop until you update your console.
Nintendo is gearing up to release a small system update for Wii U. The news comes from the ever-reliable Emily Rogers, who writes on Twitter that the new firmware “fixes some small bugs here and there.”
The tweet reads:
Told ya a Wii U system update was coming. 😉 It fixes some small bugs here and there.

You may remember that Nintendo is also working on a second major update for Wii U. According to Rogers, it won’t be out this month.
