Update: Bumped to the top. The Hyrule Warriors Legends and Hyrule Warriors content is out worldwide. That includes Medli and updates for both versions, plus the Master Wind Waker Pack in Legends.
The update notes for version 1.3.0 in Hyrule Warriors Legends:
– Added playable warrior Medli. Control the power of wind to bring the fight to enemies both on the ground and in the air!
– New medals are awaiting to be won!
– Adjustments have been made to improve the overall game experience.
And 1.9.0 in Hyrule Warriors:
– Added playable warrior Medli. Control the power of wind to bring the fight to enemies both on the ground and in the air!
The download is 590 blocks (73.75MB) in North America in Legends. In Europe, it’s 620 blocks (77.5MB). The Wii U version is 106MB.
The previously announced update for both Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends is out now in Japan and should release in other territories later today. The update contains the Wind Waker Master Pack DLC for Legends, as well as the free addition of Medli to both versions.
Although it was pretty much assumed at this point, Pokemon Sun/Moon will indeed feature more than one island. That tidbit of information comes from the description of a listing on Amazon.
The retailer mentions:
“Embark on a new adventure as a Pokemon Trainer and catch, battle, and trade all-new Pokemon on the tropical islands of a new Region and become a Pokemon Champion!”
Again, hardly surprising, but it’s nice to have a “confirmation”. Since the location is based on Hawaii, it wouldn’t make much sense to have Sun/Moon only be based around a single island.
Bandai Namco held a live stream for the Taiko Drum Master series earlier today. Of course, Taiko Drum Master: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure was featured pretty heavily.
First, watch the debut trailer below:
Several new collaborations are now confirmed for the game. To recap, these ones were previously announced:
– Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)
– Palyco Felynes (Monster Hunter)
– Hakurei Reimu, Kirisame Marisa, and Izayoi Sakuya (Touhou Project)
– Jibanyan (Yo-kai Watch)
The new collaborations include:
– Kirby and King Dedede (Kirby)
– Rakitama (Kami-sama Minarai: Himitsu no Kokotama)
– Korosensei (Assassination Classroom)
Footage of Medli in Hyrule Warriors is starting to come in. Here’s a look at the character specifically from the Wii U version:
Capcom has pulled back the curtain on another collaboration for Monster Hunter Generations. In the game, players will be able to equip their Felynes with Arthur’s Lance and Knight Armor from Ghosts ‘n Goblins.
Here’s a trailer for the collaboration:
The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 was first expected on Wii U in March… then this month… and now, it looks to be dated for June 7. That’s what Nintendo has listed on its North American website as well as the European Wii U eShop (9GB by the way). Various retailers also have this date locked in as well, so hopefully there won’t be any further delays!
Last night, news pertaining to the 1.1.6 Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS began to emerge. We learned that the only character affected by the patch is none other than Bayonetta.
thatsmash4moddr and Smashboards have since compiled the lineup of changes associated with Bayonetta. Find the full breakdown below.
