Zelda (30th Anniversary)

Nintendo has three Zelda-related projects on the books. Hyrule Warriors Legends, Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Zelda Wii U

First two new details dropped yesterday (max rupees count is higher and less tears to collect) based on Famitsu’s four pages of coverage.

Amazon France claims Zelda; Twilight Princess HD will have the following features:

Hero Mode (duh)

Wii U GamePad will be used to manage the player’s inventory in real-time

Link, Toon Link, Zelda, and Sheik amiibo, when activated, replenish hearts or arrows

Wolf Link amiibo is set to unlock a new dungeon, which loosely translates as “The Cave of Twilight.” **This could be big** Reminder: This amiibo is tied to new Zelda.

Metroid (30th Anniversary)

This week, Metroid Zero Mission is finally released on VC.

Question from Erik Osborne: "Even though I’ve been a big Nintendo fan for a long time, I've oddly never played a Metroid game outside of a few minutes here and there. I've been thinking of playing through the series due to there not being a lot of games. Would you recommend playing it in order of release, or chronological order story-wise? Thanks, love the podcast."

Will Metroid Prime: Federation Force return?

Will Samus return in 2016?

Pokemon (20th Anniversary)

Japan is getting Four Poke-themed 2DS bundles

US and EUR are getting special New 3DS and 2DS bundles respectively
