Polygon has published a few new quotes from Yosuke Hayashi, development producer of Hyrule Warriors. Hayashi discussed the mixture of the Zelda franchise and Dynasty Warriors series, and Zelda herself being playable in the game. Head past the break for his remarks.
“We look[ed] for actions, Zelda-like actions or actions that players would know from Zelda games and figure out ways to put them into what they’re doing within Hyrule Warriors. So they’re not puzzles, but you still want to open up a treasure chest. You don’t pick things up to take them to another place to solve a puzzle, but you can pick up a bomb and throw bombs. And we have the sounds that players are familiar with, little elements here and there that make it feel like a natural Zelda game, but gameplay-wise it still fits within the Dynasty Warriors franchise style.”
GamesBeat caught up with Nintendo of America communications boss Charlie Scibetta at E3 2014 last week. Among other topics, Scibetta was asked to share a message for those unsure if they want to pick up a Wii U.
Check out Scibetta’s comments about that very subject (and more) below:

Virtual Console news was noticeably absent from E3 last week. Aside from new title confirmations from Capcom and Natsume, there just wasn’t much there.
As part of an E3 interview with Kotaku, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime reaffirmed that Nintendo’s commitment to the service “is exceptionally strong.” He also explained, “there is significant work to take a game that was launched on a previous platform and make it compatible on the current platform”.
You can find all of Reggie’s comments about the Virtual Console below.
