(News)
Nintendo shoved out a pile of news today, so let's just jump right in. First off, the Wii U bundle for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD was officially announced, and will launch on September 20th (nearly two weeks before the official release of the standalone game, which launches on October 4th) for $300. The system included will be the black Deluxe model and will have gold Zelda decals on the GamePad, similar to the Ocarina of Time 3DS bundle. The copy of WWHD that is included, however, will be digital and not physical, unlike the regular Deluxe bundle with a physical copy of Nintendoland. Also included in the bundle is a digital download code for the Hyrule Historia.
Even bigger news is that the Wii U Deluxe model will be receiving a small price cut on September 20th; it will retail for $300 instead of the previous $350, explaining why the Basic models were removed from stores.
Nintendo also announced today on their website a remodel of the 3DS: the Nintendo 2DS. Essentially, it's a 3D-less 3DS for kids. It launches on October 12th for $130 and can play 3DS games in 2D, as well as every original DS game. Besides lacking a 3D function, the 2DS can do everything a 3DS can, such as access the eShop, use StreetPass, and play with other 3DS models. The 2DS will launch in black and blue and black and red, similar to the 3DS XL. Europe, on the other hand, will be getting white and red as well as black and blue. A carrying case for the 2DS will sell for $13, and is a recommended accessory as the 2DS does not fold.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD launches to everyone digitally on September 20th and physically on October 4th, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds releases on November 22nd.
More box art for upcoming games were shown off, as well. All of those are in the image gallery below.
