Hyrule Warriors Set for Summer 2014 Release in Japan, Tecmo Koei Teases Another Major Collaboration

Quite a few major gaming companies are revealing their financial results today, one of which is Tecmo Koei. It had some positive news all around, and in an update likely to bring sighs of relief from Japanese Wii U owners confirmed that Hyrule Warriors — a name that may yet change — is set for a Summer release in the country. It's unclear whether it'll land on Western shores in a similar time-frame.
That's certainly a close release considering the fact that we've seen nothing of the title since its surprise reveal in December last year; with the development evidently nearing its end, we'd hope that it will have a notable presence at E3 next month. In the same investor briefing, meanwhile, it was teased that a major new collaboration will follow this Zelda release, with details expected in the latter half of the year. No details were given, though the company has expressed an eagerness to move onto PS4 and Xbox One with some future projects, so it's up in the air whether this is a project for Nintendo fans to anticipate. Nevertheless, both companies are no doubt hoping for big things from the upcoming Zelda-meets-Dynasty-Warriors experience.

NINTENDO HAS APPARENTLY SPENT OVER $100 MILLION ON MYSTERY TECH ACQUISITION
MAY 7, 2014

Senior Research Analyst David Gibson has revealed on Twitter that Nintendo has apparently spent over $100 million on a mystery tech acquisition. Gibson says there’s no word as to what the acquisition was for, but it could be related to the forthcoming Quality of Life product which Nintendo has confirmed they’re developing.

Thanks, David

look for the remake heart gold/soul silver on ebay
or amazon
its expensive though

 

[Ricky D]

Yeah my local GS sells it for $44.99

 I would just prefer it to have updated graphics like this upcoming Ruby/Sapphire...oh well. I already have a big backlog, not really hurting for anything new to play

Found my SNES while going through and cleaning up the storage in the garage.

I don't have regular tube TV anymore, only an LED HDTV. Are there any good HDMI converters that are compatible with the SNES? I want to play my SNES on my HD TV.
