Pic of the day. The leg and arm positions of some characters will automatically be mirrored when facing left or right. Mario, for example, will have his chest shown in the foreground regardless of whether he's facing right or left. This was quite a tedious task, but thanks to it we can show the best features of each character even better. Here's another example: in the previous games, you saw the back of Kirby's head when facing left. Now Kirby looks great from any angle.

One of us. One of us. :p

Increase the difficulty and that doesn't happen

Well, the DS Virtual Console is out later this year, so we won't have to wait long to find out

I like hack and slash to an extent. One of my favourite Skyward Sword moments is towards the end, when you're running down the mountain with hordes of bokoblins coming at you, just swiping them away as I run down. It was glorious

I imagine that, if you connected beforehand, you're not going to be kicked off.

My good friend StreetsAhead covered translation of part of the story: Link sets off to rescue Princess Zelda, who has been kidnapped by the evil witch Shia. The magazine introduces Link, Impa, Shia, and some of her minions. Location includes Hyrule Field

ω-Force & Team NINJA are the specific developers of Hyrule Warriors. Download copy will be cheaper than the retail copy, but at around 10,000 yen, there's apparently a premium box to be for sale. (Prices aren't clear. Retail starts with a 7, Download with a 6 and Premium with a 10. I doubt it's a round number) The magazine has an interview with producers Koinuma Hisashi & Hayashi Yosuke and the supervisor, Eiji Aonuma. Link sets off to rescue Princess Zelda, who has been kidnapped by the evil witch Shia. The magazine introduces Link, Impa, Shia, and some of her minions. Location includes Hyrule Field Says there's some unexpected playable characters.

Japan is getting Wii Sports Boxing and Baseball on June 26th. I imagine we will, too

Probably the lipstick

I dunno, I like the look of this. Should be good.

Because you have a lack of faith?

I dunno. When companies have a review embargo of the launch day, it shows that they aren't confident in their product and it makes consumers question things too much. Wondering what they're hiding, if the game is actually good etc. Embargo should have ended this week

Nintendo just trademarked this in Japan, too

Even then, we knew all the new characters except Wolf before Japanese launch and all but 3 returning characters

For me, it's this Sure, there's the money thing, but also my severe asthma stops me

Mario looks so weird and different in this image. Like he's chibi-fied.

It does make me sad that we know everything about the game. It's one of the things that irked me about Brawl, we just knew everything before launch. Though, I'm sure it'll be fun and amazing

Well Nintendo specifically gave a time for this: 23:00 JST.

Pic of the day. This is the capsule for the Assist Trophies. It may emit rainbow-colored lights, or even blink. Even if there's something like a Color TV-Game 15 inside….

Well yes, it says in the bottom right at the start of the commercial that in the commercial that they are playing over the Internet using 7 Wii Us.

One and a half

No? What is it?

For Pokémon players, I made this:
