zelda wii u Here’s the announcement everyone was looking for. In today’s Nintendo Direct, Eiji Aonuma confirmed development of a new Zelda game for Wii U. The theme behind the development of the game is to “rethink the conventions of Zelda,” namely the idea that dungeons must be completed in a certain order, and that players must go it alone. In more concrete news, they’ve also announced an HD remake of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker for Wii U. No release date has been confirmed, but I’m sure we’ll see more by E3.

I've been gaming since my dad made the bad decision of buying me a Nintendo when I was four years old. Every day I'd find myself with my face glued to a TV screen, punching away at buttons, getting furious with Bowser, Dr. Wily, and those freakin' birds in Ninja Gaiden. Since then I have failed to get my parents to play any board game with me, I sold my full copy of Earthbound with box and guide for $300 to some dude in Austria for rent money, and I still believe in Nintendo even after all these years.
