This video is from last year’s Gamescom, but is still worth checking out. It’s Charles Martinet after all!

Extra content is something that we pretty much figured would be a part of Hyrule Warriors after hearing about the game’s premium box edition for Japan. Now it’s official though: DLC is indeed a part of Hyrule Warriors. The title’s official website possesses a DLC section, though it’s not open just yet.
Hyrule Warriors’ DLC – at least in part – will involve costumers. For the Japanese premium box edition version, Tecmo Koei is including codes for six special costumes.
Yanim Studio managed to reach its Kickstarter goal for Red Goddess: Inner World. Yesterday, the campaign crossed the $30,000 mark.
Red Goddess: Inner World is targeted for Wii U and other platforms. No stretch goal involved, meaning this one has now been guaranteed for Wii U.
You can check out the Red Goddess Kickstarter here.
StreetsAhead has provided translations of Hyrule Warriors characters (Link, Impa, enemies) from the game’s new Japanese website. You can find them rounded up below.
Late last month, Nintendo filed a US patent for something called “Storage Medium Having Stored Therein Information Processing Program, Information Processing Apparatus, Information Processing System, and Information Processing Method”. Take that in for a second.
Takehiko Hosokawa (director, Metroid: Other M) and Goro Abe (director, Game & Wario) are both listed on the patent’s filing, which was just published today.
If you move past the incredibly long name and delve into what the patent actually is, it seems like Nintendo could be cooking up something new with Wii Music.
Here’s the abstract:
This is the launch trailer for Watch Dogs, though as we know, the Wii U version will launch later this year.
