Yesterday, Nintendo held another livestream conference based around new upcoming Wii U titles, and good ones at that. I'll just mention the few that caught my attention.
•Yarn Yoshi: Think Kirby's Epic Yarn, but replace Kirby with Yoshi. Suddenly, the whole Yarn art style is becoming its own series.
•Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem: Didn't see that one coming. The original series that branched off into the critically-acclaimed Persona series, Shin Megami Tensei, will be crossing over with Nintendo's Fire Emblem series sometime soon. Sounds like it'll make an interesting crossover.
•The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD: Holy crap, all the wants. Screenshots and concept art were shown for an HD remake of Zelda: Wind Waker that put all other HD ports to shame (I'm looking at you, Sonic Adventure 2 HD). Hopefully this'll pave the way for more HD remakes of older titles.
•Super Smash Bros. 4: Okay, so nothing was shown, but it was mentioned. Apparently an official unveiling is coming at E3, so get hyped.
•Virtual Console: With a system update coming sometime in Spring, the Virtual Console feature will launch in the Wii U eShop. Classic games will be put up in a similar fashion to the original Wii Shop Channel's Virtual Console, but will include a wider variety of represented systems.
More Miiverse functions and a few more system updates were mentioned, and brand-new Mario and Zelda titles are apparently coming soon.
What game got you the most excited? Let me know in the comments below.
