5th August, 2015 – Nintendo has announced details on a range of key upcoming titles for its Wii U and Nintendo 3DS family of systems, with a string of launch dates and newly revealed special editions.
Unveiled at E3, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes allows three players take on the role of individual Link characters and team up to solve unique Zelda-style puzzles and boss fights. With one life meter to share, working together will be key to overcome the game’s many dungeons… This new title in The Legend of Zelda series will launch 24th October in Australia and New Zealand.
Following the recent announcement of a range of hardware and software bundles for Super Mario Maker when it launches 12th September, you can check out the Nintendo World Championships and ‘Think You Know Mario?’ trailers to get a taste for how you can create brand new courses as well as play the seemingly endless supply of inventive Mario levels from players around the world.
Coming to Wii U in December, Xenoblade Chronicles X is set amidst an intergalactic war between aliens and human survivors, where players fight for survival while exploring the massive expanses of an unknown planet. Today, two limited edition bundles have been revealed to be launching alongside the game:

Fans of limited edition offerings should keep an eye out for Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water, coming to Wii U on 31st October. From that day, Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water – trial version creeps onto Nintendo eShop, giving players the opportunity to sample action from the game’s prologue and first two chapters at no cost before choosing whether to purchase all remaining chapters.
