Nintendo Direct: Rosalina in more games, Zelda Musou

[A Black Falcon]

Also they announced a name and date for the Yoshi platformer (2014), and more. Go watch it on Nintendo's site... though the Japanese version has more stuff than the others, for instance. For example, it mentioned Zelda Musou, or rather Zelda: Hyrule Warriors, a game by the Dynasty Warriors people using the Zelda license. We'll see if it's any good; I just hope it has a lot more playable characters, the only one seen so far is Link. Musou games always have a lot more than one! Also mentioned only in the Japanese one is a Puyo Puyo Tetris crossover game, apparently by Sega and Nintendo. We haven't seen a Puyo Puyo game release in the West in nine years now, so I'm not holding out much hope for this one, but let's hope it breaks that trend.

Also, Rosalina is going to be in Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. U/3DS, and also the new version of the Namco Mario Kart Arcade GP game. Pretty awesome, particularly her being in SSB! She's also playable in Super Mario 3D World, of course. It's great to see Nintendo finally deciding to put her in more games; yes, she's in Mario Kart Wii and MK 7, but not much of anything else since, until now.
