After years and years of publishers packing the September through November “Holiday” season with an unmanageable number of new AAA titles, we might get a much more balanced release calendar in 2016. But can you believe it all happened by accident?

Video game fans have always had to deal with delays, but publishers got even more use out of their erasers than normal in 2015. Aside from the one-two punch of Fallout 4‘s E3 2015 announcement, and its eventual release on November 10th, no game felt safe… and more than a few big titles got pushed into 2016. So now we get to ring in 2016 with a release calendar that just might offer up something exciting all year long.

Are you ready? Because here… we… go… (more…)

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD will be released on March 4, 2016; And we got a quick glimpse at The Legend of Zelda Wii U too

Posted on November 16, 2015 by John Scalzo

Just in case you missed it, did you hear that Nintendo has announced plans to bring The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD to the Wii U on March 4, 2016?

Celebrating the tenth anniversary of the game’s launch on the GameCube and Wii, Twilight Princess HD will include improved graphics and come packed with an Amiibo figure featuring Wolf Link and Midna. Players who pre-order the bundle will also receive a soundtrack CD.

Twilight Princess HD will be compatible with five other Amiibo figures from the Super Smash Bros. series that feature characters from the Zelda franchise (Link, Toon Link, Princess Zelda, Sheik, and Ganon), though it’s currently unknown exactly how Amiibo support will work in the game. The many eras of Hyrule will connect together even tighter as Nintendo also said the Wolf Link/Midna Amiibo will be cross-compatible with the upcoming The Legend of Zelda Wii U.

What we do know is that Nintendo also released a few seconds of new footage from The Legend of Zelda Wii U as part of the Twilight Princess HD reveal. It’s been tacked on to the end of the trailer embedded above, so be sure to check it out.

Wii drops to $150; budget Nintendo Selects lineup revealed

Posted on May 4, 2011 by John Scalzo

As expected, Nintendo officially dropped the price of the Wii to $149.99 today. With the new price comes a new bundle. The $149.99 package will include the console (available in black or white), a matching Wii Remote Plus/Nunchuk, a copy of Mario Kart Wii and a Wii Wheel. The bundle will go on sale in two weeks, on May 15th.

With Wii Sports pulled out of the Wii system box for the first time since the console’s launch, the groundbreaking game will lead the new Nintendo Selects line. Retailing for $19.99, the first wave of Nintendo Selects will also include Animal Crossing: City Folk, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Mario Super Sluggers.

“From the day it launched, Wii has let players of all ages and experience levels have fun with one another,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “The new suggested retail pricing for both the hardware and select games will help create more of these magical moments for even greater numbers of people.”

In other words, the Wii still prints money.
