The Hyrule Warriors Legends WonderCon panel has now come to an end. Aside from revealing a new DLC character, Koei Tecmo’s Yosuke Hayashi and Hiroya Usuda also shared some other goodies.
Head past the break for a roundup of the panel from Nintendo’s Twitter account. We’re able to get a look at a piece of Linkle’s story involving Tingle that was scrapped from the game and more.

We kicked off our new comic series last week, and we now have a new one to share with you today. If all goes well, you’ll hopefully see a new entry at around this time every Saturday. You can also get a look at our new banner above that we’ll be using from here on out!
While last week was a one-shot based on Zelda, today we’re introducing our two new characters who will be featured in many of our comics. The strip below pokes a bit of fun at some of the backlash Metroid Prime: Federation Force has been receiving, and some of the petitions that have stemmed from that.
Here’s the new comic (click for full size):

Let us know what you think! Just like last week, we’ll be taking a look at all comments. As we keep this feature going, we’re hoping that the writing will continue to become easier, and hopefully we can incorporate feedback in different ways.
Mini Mario & Friends amiibo Challenge is being distributed early for those who purchase an amiibo at Amazon, Best Buy, or GameStop. Check out some gameplay below.
More footage of Kirby: Planet Robobot is in showing the Robobot and a bunch of its transformations. Watch the new video below.
CoroCoro has published a few minutes of gameplay from Yo-Kai Sangokushi. Check out the video below.
Natsume has been fielding questions from fans as part of a new winter Q&A. The first three responses were published today, two of which were about the Virtual Console.
First, Natsume shared the following about the possibility of having DS games on the Wii U Virtual Console:
We are always interested in making Natsume’s library of unique and engaging titles avaible for Virtual Console. Currently, we are looking into what we can do… No news yet, but keep watching our social media for any announcements!
Could we see more Harvest Moon games on the Virtual Console? Here’s what Natsume said on that front:
Currently there are a great many Harvest Moon titles available for a variety of Virtual Consoles. Some real classics! When the opportunity allows us to release more games from the Harvest Moon series comes up, we’re sure look into it.
Another round of footage is now in for Shantae: Risky’s Revenge Director’s Cut. Take a look at two more videos below.
GameXplain has some new footage up of Kirby: Planet Robobot showing a specific level and a boss battle. Check it out below.
