The Fireside

The new Warriors game starring Legend of Zelda characters (this is not, and I repeat not a Zelda game) is coming later this month, and there quite a few pre-order DLC bonuses. Here is a listing of what some of them are, that give you bonus in-game content.  This info is courtesy of Nintendo: Here’s a nice offer involving a (usually) not-so-nice guy: if you buy Hyrule Warriors for Wii U and register the game with Club Nintendo between 9/26/14 and 10/23/14, you can receive a free download code for the Demon King Costume Set DLC: two costumes for Ganondorf that you can use in-game. You must be a Club Nintendo member to participate, and the offer is available only in the US and Canada. A little unfortunate for those hoping to get the game for Christmas but worth mentioning!  If you pre-order through EB Games (or Gamestop), you get the Ocarina of Time costume set.  If you pre-order through Amaz...

Now that E3 is over, the waiting for some of those games can begin...  Since I own a wii u, this post will focus on that platform's games (Xbox and Playstation fans, be sure to check out the games you're interested in for pre-orders.) Various retailers are now offering pre-orders for some of the upcoming wii u games..even if there is no release date yet, nor are the games finished.  Ones on the wii u of note: Smash Bros (I will either get this one as a digital download via the e shop or physical copy) The Legend of Zelda (pre-ordered already!) Hyrule Warriors  Captain Toad  Star Fox  Mario Maker (I will either get this one as a digital download from the e shop or physical copy) Yoshi's Wooly World  There may be others, but as far as I could tell from the E3 coverage, these ones are going to be big.
