Link has played multiple instruments throughout his journeys such as the Ocarina of Time, Flute, and Wind Waker. But the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks introduces a new one. Players will be required to use the Spirit Pipes in order to bring back the Spirit Tracks. The microphone are touch screen are used together, and as you would expect, you choose notes with the stylus and then blow into the microphone to actually play them. We’ll have more information on the Spirit Pipes in the coming weeks.

Thanks to Kay for the news tip!

Late last week, voice actor Rikiya Koyama indicated on his blog that a Wii version of Tales of Vesperia would be happening. Hopes of seeing that happen will have to be put aside for now, however. Koyama confirmed today that he made a mistake. He mixed up Vesperia with Tales of Graces, which is coming out for Wii next month in Japan. It’s still possible that we’ll see Tales of Vesperia Wii down the road, but don’t expect it for the foreseeable future.
