Nintendo Voice Chat: 2016 Cometh - a podcast by IGN Staff

IGN's Nintendo show returns! Join host Jose Otero, Peer Schnieder, and Brian Altano for a fun episode, as the crew discusses:

• Zelda (30th Anniversary)
  
  
  
  • Nintendo has three Zelda-related projects on the books. Hyrule Warriors Legends, Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Zelda Wii U
  
  
  • First two new details dropped yesterday (max rupees count is higher and less tears to collect) based on Famitsu’s four pages of coverage. 
  
  
  • Amazon France claims Zelda; Twilight Princess HD will have the following features:
    
    
    
    • Hero Mode (duh)
    
    
    • Wii U GamePad will be used to manage the player’s inventory in real-time
    
    
    • Link, Toon Link, Zelda, and Sheik amiibo, when activated, replenish hearts or arrows
    
    
    • Wolf Link amiibo is set to unlock a new dungeon, which loosely translates as “The Cave of Twilight.” **This could be big** Reminder: This amiibo is tied to new Zelda. 
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  


• Metroid (30th Anniversary)
  
  
  
  • This week, Metroid Zero Mission is finally released on VC.
  
  
  • Question from Erik Osborne: "Even though I’ve been a big Nintendo fan for a long time, I've oddly never played a Metroid game outside of a few minutes here and there. I've been thinking of playing through the series due to there not being a lot of games. Would you recommend playing it in order of release, or chronological order story-wise? Thanks, love the podcast."
  
  
  • Will Metroid Prime: Federation Force return?
  
  
  • Will Samus return in 2016?
  
  
  
  


• Pokemon (20th Anniversary)
  
  
  
  • Japan is getting Four Poke-themed 2DS bundles
  
  
  • US and EUR are getting special New 3DS and 2DS bundles respectively
