The hits just keep on coming! After finding out that Zelda Wii U has been delayed and is now expected in 2016 instead, we have confirmation that the title will be skipping E3.
Series producer Eiji Aonuma wrote on Miiverse:
As I said in the video, we would like to take this time so we can bring you a very special experience, by making the ultimate Zelda game. Since we’d like to focus on developing the game we’ve decided to not show the game at this year’s E3.
Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you’ll look forward to the game!
Darn you, Aonuma! You know how to break my heart, don’t you?!
A new video message from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma reveals that the title is no longer expected in 2015, as was originally announced.
“As I have watched our development progress, I have come to think that rather than work with meeting a specific schedule as our main objective, and releasing a game that reflects only what we can create within that scheduled time, I feel strongly that our focus should be to bring all of these ideas to life in a way that will make Zelda on Wii U the best game it can possibly be,” Aonuma explained. “So I must apologize to all of you who were expecting the game by year’s end, but we are no longer making a 2015 release our number one priority. Instead, our priority is to make it the ultimate and most complete Zelda game.”

We have a bit of good news for those who are awaiting Xeodrifter from outside of North America. According to Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham, the team is currently submitting its game to the different ratings boards across Europe. A release date hasn’t been determined, but Xeodrifter should be on the European eShop sooner rather than later.

Towards the end of 2013, Two Tribes asked if fans would be interested in seeing Toki Tori 1 on 3DS. The studio has posted several hints on its Twitter account about the possibility since then, and it looks like we now have a confirmation that it’s happening.
Based on a Twitter message earlier month, we seem to have solid confirmation that Toki Tori 1 is coming to the 3DS. Two Tribes and Engine Software are teaming up for the release. As it turns out, it’s the first collaboration between the two companies in over twenty years.
In other news, we made some good progress on Toki Tori 1 3DS today, together with Ivo from @EngineSoftware!

After more than 20 years we are working together with our friends at @TwoTribesGames again. Feels like programming on #MSX again!

Affordable Space Adventures will take up just over 1GB of space. Note that this is specific to Europe, but the North American download should clock in at a very similar amount.
Affordable Space Adventures launches for the Wii U eShop on April 9.
