[Review] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
Posted on 10 years ago by Vincent Ward in Reviews, Wii U | 31 Comments
System: Wii U
Release date: March 4, 2016
Developer: Nintendo / Tantalus Media
Publisher Nintendo
Dark clouds rolled over Hyrule Field, and as I trekked down the path into my sights came a large beast with a young child tied upon his staff. Hordes of Moblins riding on boars came crashing down toward me as their leader led them my way. I quickly began shooting arrows and slashing the enemies down as they came near and tried my best to keep myself alive, and as I about to deliver what appeared to be the final blow, the beast moves us onto a bridge where our sight met at opposite ends. We charged at each other endlessly and clashed our blades together every moment we could, until after a long battle, I came out on top.
It’s moments like these that has kept The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess in the hearts of gamers for so many years. Iconic characters like Midna and Zant offered unique faces of the like fans have never seen before this iteration in the series, so it only seemed fair that after Wind Waker, it was Twilight Princesses’ time to receive an HD makeover. With added visual flair, quick fixes to old problems, and the removal of motion controls, is The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess an adventure worth taking once more?

7th Dragon III Code: VFD’s Agent class takes inspiration from Jet Set Radio Future
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Did you know that one of the characters in 7th Dragon III Code: VFD is inspired by Jet Set Radio Future? After a Siliconera reader noticed that the male agent had a Graffiti Soul and “JSRF” t-shirt on, the site confirmed with SEGA that this is a nod to that very game.
Character designer Miwa Shirow is actually a fan of Jet Set Radio Future. With the Agent class, she wanted to create a character that looked like a “street-wise youth,” in particular due to the fact that the class relies on various “conditions aligning in combat.” The male agent’s internal name also goes by the name “Jet.”
It’s also worth mentioning that for one of the buttons on the Agent’s chest, it’s a symbol from Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratori Tangram. This 3D fighting robot title came out for the Dreamcast.

Jotun: Valhalla Edition heading to Wii U this summer
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Jotun, previously released on PC last September, is now making its way to consoles. A Wii U version is scheduled for this summer for $15.
Jotun is a hand-drawn exploration game set in a world of Norse mythology. Players take on the role of Thora, “a Viking warrior who died an inglorious death.” Thora will need to “prove herself to the Gods” if she hopes to enter Valhalla, the great hall of the afterlife in Norse mythology.
The console version will carry the full name “Jotun: Valhalla Edition” and features a “boss rush mode with even fiercer versions of the already challenging jotun,” or “Norse elementals.” The new Valhalla Mode has a higher difficulty thanks to fiercer jotun.
Here’s a trailer for Jotun: Valhalla Edition:
