Japan’s first wave of amiibo figures, consisting of both the first and second Western waves, is now officially out in stores. YouTuber NihongoGamer has taken the liberty to show us an up close look of Princess Zelda, along with some gameplay footage of the amiibo in action. It actually looks surprisingly better than what I had originally thought. 

First thing we see is that, just like the others, her pose is based on her official art from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. The detail…

Amazon has recently updated their listing for PDP’s upcoming Wired Fight Pads for Wii U with several new photos, including their Link controller. These pictures offer a fantastic view of the Fight Pad from almost every angle, giving us a good idea of what to expect when it comes out. The controller’s top and bottom faceplate come in green and beige respectively, along with brown sticks and triggers meant to mimic Link’s outfit in Twilight Princess. The + and – buttons come in blue while the Home button is in yellow. Right above them we get a nice Royal Crest

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has been released for over a week or so, and already it’s proving to be one of the best Wii U titles. The all-out free-for-all has made it big, on both Wii U and 3DS. However, some were able to get their hands on a copy of the game early (before release) for review. Zelda Informer, specifically, made a playlist of videos about the event matches in the title; basing it off of all…

With Super Smash Bros. Wii U only a day away from release in North America, and only a little longer than a week in most other areas, reviews have started to come in from far and wide, and the general consensus seems to be that this game is absolutely amazing. With reviews more favorable than nearly any other game this year, and tons of perfect reviews from a variety of gaming publications, it’s likely that Smash will be one of the best games we see in a long time.

Metacritic—a website that counts the aggregate professional review scores of all kinds of video games—has given the game a…

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is only two days away, and the hype is strong with this one. Perhaps the most beloved multiplayer game for Nintendo fans, Super Smash Bros. asks players to break fighting game conventions and instead of whittling away at HP, to knock their opponents off of a given stage. Here at ZI, we’ve had a good amount of time to play through the game’s plethora of modes and challenges, and let me tell you, Zelda fans will not be disappointed.

We have uploaded videos depicting complete gameplay of all the Zelda stages in Smash Bros. Wii U,  both in their original forms and the omega versions. We’ve also tried to create our own stage using the Stage Builder, loosely based off of the Dark World from A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds.

Check our YouTube channel for more footage from our review copy of the game, and be sure to check in here tomorrow to see our review; with only three days left until the North American release of the game, and about a week longer for the European release…

Just like in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there will be a masterpiece mode in which you can play the classic games from which the fighters in Smash originate. In the newest iteration of Smash, there are two Legend of Zelda games included, those games being…

We’ve just uploaded footage to our YouTube channel showing exactly how all the Zelda items in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U work, and it’s certainly amazing; they look and feel way better than they did on the 3DS, and it’s great to finally see exactly how they’ll shape up on the Wii U version of the game.

The list of items includes old classics like the Heart Container and the Bunny Hood, as well as tons of new ones, like the Beetle, Fairy Bottle, and the famous Cuccoo…

With the release of the fantastic The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart DLC last week for Mario Kart 8, it’s clear that Nintendo has come to terms with a feature of modern gaming that many of us love to hate. While those who have played the aforementioned pack are unlikely to say this was a mistake, this Friday will see the release of a new Nintendo experiment in North America; and it’s name is amiibo…

BitBlock, a website that constantly uploads HD footage of 3DS and Wii U games for our enjoyment, just gave us tons of great new footage from the Stage Builder and the All Star Mode in Smash Bros. Wii U, and it looks absolutely stunning.

As we know, the All Star Mode in this game is very similar to the one in the 3DS version, with the simple change that the order of characters has been reversed; rather than fight the older characters, like Pacman and Mario, first, and progressing to the newer fighters, you start with the newest fighters and slowly go down.

The Stage Builder, on the other hand, has gone through a complete overhaul…
