At Nintendo’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders meeting last week, one investor asked when we will next see The Legend of Zelda for Wii U. Unfortunately, Shigeru Miyamoto wasn’t able to say, but he did speak more about the game in general terms. Miyamoto specifically discussed Zelda Wii U’s “open world” – a term that he personally doesn’t like to use when making software, “but we used this term in order to make it easier for consumers to understand.”

Miyamoto went on to discuss The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and how Nintendo started to change up the series’ formula with that game. And very interestingly, Miyamoto teased unannounced “ideas” for 3DS that he hopes fans will look forward to.

Pac-Man is joining the Super Smash Bros. series for the first time through the upcoming Wii U and 3DS games. However, it turns out that the classic character could have been included in the previous entry, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Masahiro Sakurai wrote in the latest issue of Famitsu that Pac-Man was a possibility for Brawl courtesy of a suggestion from Shigeru Miyamoto:

“During development of Smash Bros. Brawl, Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo approached me and asked, ‘Can’t we have Pac-Man as a guest character?’ At the time, imagining the image of Pac-Man and his incomplete pizza shape, I thought to myself, ‘Hmmm… That’s a little too farfetched.'”

Sakurai also mentioned in his column that coming up with character ideas for a Smash Bros. game may seem easy, but it takes a great deal of work to implement on the development side.

I think Sakurai’s a little bit proud of today’s screenshots. The first is of Mega Man’s final smash:

Mega Man.EXE and Mega Man Volnutt!! They only appear for a split second, but the modeling is so detailed. And if that’s the case…!

And of course no Mega Man news would be complete without a dose of Mega Man X:

…How can we not use it for trophy creation?! Today’s update is a rare mix of Wii U and 3DS images in the same post.
