Hyrule Warriors Legends made its way to Japan a couple of days ago. Naturally, Famitsu published its review of the game in one of its recent issues. Four editors dished out scores of “9”, “9”, “8”, and “10” for a total score of 36 out of 40.
We now have a complete translation of Famitsu’s review. To read it in full, head past the break.
Yacht Club Games just pushed out a new Shovel Knight update on Steam: version 2.2.1. The patch is intended to implement various fixes.
According to Yacht Club, other systems “will be updating in the near future”. We’ll let you know when it goes live on Wii U and 3DS. For now, read up on the full patch notes below.
Hyrule Warriors Legends won’t be out in the west until March. However, it looks like the game’s translations are essentially complete.
It appears that those who have picked up Hyrule Warriors Legends in Japan can play through the game in English. This includes story scenes with the narrator as well as subtitles and other text. Check out some English footage below.
This week’s Nintendo Minute went up earlier tonight. It was somewhat as a surprise, as the episode featured entirely new footage from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Two more tidbits about the game were shared in the video.
First, Kit and Krysta stated explicitly that you can now transform into Wolf Link by simply tapping the GamePad. You won’t need to talk to Midna to make this happen, making things more convenient compared to the original release on Wii and GameCube. It was also shown that you can touch the GamePad again to easily switch back into Link’s normal form.
Later in the video, you can clearly see Krysta moving the GamePad to aim the Clawshot. Gyroscope aiming was sort of a given based on the amiibo trailer (not to mention that it was in Wind Waker HD), but it’s nice to see it in action!
Thanks to Jeffery F for the tip.
Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.
Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden is half off on Amazon. The game originally went for $30, but can now be purchased for $14.62. Orders can be placed here.
Two new pieces of character art from Zero Time Dilemma are available. You can get a look at both above.
Thanks to Aksys Games, we also have some photos of the new watch for the game:

Earlier today, Emily Rogers posted several tweets about a rumor she heard pertaining to an unannounced Wii U game from Nintendo. This is based on information that she, along with two other people, gathered from numerous sources. We originally thought that we’d have to wait until Monday for the actual rumor, but the speculation was just now posted instead.
Rumor has it that Intelligent Systems has been developing a new Paper Mario entry for Wii U. It’s now being localized and tested, which suggests that the game could be coming sooner rather than later. At the very least, an announcement in the future would be likely assuming the rumor is true.
Rumor: 5 sources told us a new Paper Mario will be announced this year for Wii U. Developed by Intelligent Systems.
