Last week, Mega Maze ended up on the North American Wii U eShop. For a look at the game, watch the video below.
Turtle Cream brought 6180 the moon to Wii U last year. The action game hit the eShop in February 2016.
Now the game is seeing life on another Nintendo platform. Recently, Turtle Cream sent out the word via Twitter that 6180 the moon is heading to New 3DS. It’s also making an appearance at Taipei Game Show 2017.

A couple of days ago, a listing for Piggyback’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide appeared on Amazon UK – not really a remarkable occurrence by itself, if not for the fact that the description of the guide revealed quite a bit about the game, including the total number of shrines. It seems like Nintendo caught wind of this, as the listing for the guide has now disappeared from Amazon UK, resulting in a 404 error. A search turns up nothing either.
Strategy guides accidentally revealing details from a game is nothing new, though most of the time the revealing text is just edited or deleted. It’s definitely unusual for the entire listing to be (temporarily) deleted. It remains to be seen how Amazon UK will handle pre-orders for the guide while it was still available.
In addition to the eShop maintenance today and the 3DS online play maintenance taking place tomorrow / on Wednesday, Nintendo announced that some additional Wii U & 3DS online play maintenance will also take place about 13 hours from now, shortly after the eShop maintenance is scheduled to finish.

– 1:30 AM in Europe (January 24) – 3 AM in Europe (January 24)
For your convenience, here are again the times for the eShop maintenance:
– 12 PM PT (January 23) – 4 PM PT (January 23)

– 8 PM in the UK (January 23) – 12 AM in the UK (January 24)
– 9 PM in Europe (January 23) – 1 AM in Europe (January 24)
And here are the times for the 3DS-only maintenance:

Epona, Link’s trusty horse who has appeared in various Zelda games, will be returning in Breath of the Wild. Producer Eiji Aonuma shared the news with IGN Portugal. However, he wasn’t willing to reveal specific details about Epona’s appearance, including where to find her.
Aside from Epona, various horses can be found throughout the world in Breath of the Wild. Horses you encounter will need to be tamed. Each one also has unique stats, including strength, speed, stamina, temperament, and bond. Horses can be named as well.
