Nintendo Direct 17.4.13 Recap – New Zelda, Earthbound And More!
There were three Nintendo Direct broadcasts last night and a lot of new information about games we already knew about, but also the wraps were taking off a lot of new games as well.
The biggest undoubtedly is the announcement of a sequel to A Link To The Past, it even got a 3D trailer on the eShop to check out.
There was much more than just Zelda though, there was a new Yoshi’s Island, new Mario Party on the 3DS, several games got dated and Bravely Default is headed to Australia, even before America.
The Wii U also got a run with the system update being detailed, that’s out next week as is the Wii U Virtual Console. That’s gaining a big title too, Earthbound will finally be headed to the PAL world, at least officially. It only took 18 years.
