Nintendo At The Game Awards 2014

Nintendo revealed a number of things at The Game Awards 2014. Code Name S.T.E.A.M Release Date The first item was Code Name S.T.E.A.M.’s release date, which is set to release for the 2DS and 3DS on March 13, 2015 Intelligent Systems - the developers of the Fire Emblem and Advance Wars series - will be behind Nintendo’s next handheld title, which is a tactical strategy game that features historical figures like Abraham Lincoln. Star Fox Wii U Coming Before Zelda Wii U Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed Star Fox Wii U will be released before The Legend of Zelda Wii U. Legend of Zelda director Eiji Aonuma jokingly asked Miyamoto when Star Fox Wii U would release, to which Miyamoto responded, “What?! Star Fox? You’re asking me that now? No worries about Star Fox. Star Fox will arrive before the Legend of Zelda, next year.”
New Zelda Wii U Gameplay New gameplay footage for The Legend of Zelda Wii U was shown at The Game Awards 2014. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma showed small pieces of the game’s world. The footage opened with a sunset and Link running across Hyrule. The two spoke about how the game is intended to have many highly elevated areas, and how players can travel to any area they see in the horizon. Aonuma used the map on the Gamepad to mark a location in the distance that he intended to reach. Standing on a large cliff, Link used the Sailcloth from Skyward Sword to parachute to the ground. Soon afterwards, Link is riding the horse Epona through forests, and Aonuma mentions that horses don’t run into trees and that he is barely touching the Gamepad when Link is riding Epona. The showcase ended with combat while on horseback, and Link vaulting off Epona, firing an arrow in slow motion. The Legend of Zelda Wii U is still expected to release in 2015.
