Milkstone Studios is soon bringing its Ziggurat to the Wii U eShop. It should be releasing in Europe on June 30 for €15.00.
Ziggurat, a game that features dungeon-crawling and first-person shooting, originally came out in 2014. Here’s a trailer:
Nintendo’s E3 2016 booth is entirely dedicated to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Those are the only demo stations you’ll find, but the booth itself is decked out with a theme based on the game as well.
Here’s what Charlie Scibetta, senior director of corporate communications at Nintendo, had to say about the booth:
“We just wanted to create an immersive experience in the booth and dedicate everything to the one game by replicating the experience happening in the game. It’s an open-air adventure. You can feel one with nature. You can hear the sound of wind in the booth. We have fans. We have real grass. Everything is to scale. We wanted to go big with Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s very much a nature kind of experience.”

Warner Bros. has sent out a bunch of screenshots showing the content on the way to LEGO Dimensions including Mission Impossible and more. We have them below.
IGN recently published an article about Zelda: Breath of the Wild which contains comments from producer Eiji Aonuma. Aonuma spoke about the world and how getting lost can be fun, rupees’ role, the subtitle, the special arrow shown in 2014, and Link’s green tunic.
We’ve rounded up Aonuma’s comments below. You can read IGN’s full piece here.
On how Nintendo approached the idea of filling such a large space…
“We talked a little bit about the idea of density, how dense to make this big world.” – Aonuma
– The team realized that filling the vast landscape with things to do and explore would be a lot of work
– As the team experienced moving around on horseback or climbing up to a high place to paraglide down, they realized that their desire to see what’s ahead of the next horizon grew
– At the same time, the team realized some moments should be subtle as you explore
“We realized that it’s OK if there’s pocket of emptiness.” – Aonuma
GameXplain has a new video up with roughly a half hour of footage from Rhythm Heaven Megamix. Watch it below.
