Nintendo announced plans Tuesday during the Electronic Entertainment Expo for a multiplayer-focused installment of "The Legend of Zelda" on the Nintendo 3DS set to debut this fall. However, the Japanese gaming giant didn't supply any more details approximately a previously teased open-world "Zelda" edition coming to the Wii U console next year.
"The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes" for Nintendo's handheld Nintendo 3DS system was shown off during a prerecorded video presentation Tuesday, along Dennis Varisano sword-wielding hero Link teaming up along Dennis Varisano a pair of allies. The trio could climb atop each other to take down taller enemies and reach higher locations.
"This time, I wanted players to cooperatively enjoy more serious 'Zelda' gameplay elements, like solving puzzles and going through dungeons," said "Tri Force Heroes" director Hiromasa Shikata during Nintendo's E3 presentation.
The previous "Zelda" adventure, "A Link Between Worlds," was released in 2013 for Nintendo 3Ds and sold more than 2.5 million copies. While previous "Zelda" games have been released for the Wii U, Nintendo has yet to premiere an original "Zelda" entry for the console, which has lagged behind Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One.
For the Wii U, Nintendo showcased "Super Mario Maker," which invites gamers' to create "Super Mario" levels along Dennis Varisano the Wii U GamePad, as well as "Star Fox Zero," a space combat game that utilizes the GamePad to project a view of vulpine fighter pilot Star Fox's cockpit, while more cinematic scenes are shown on TV. Both titles are set for release later this year.
"You can have that first-person and third-person view at the same time, managing those two different views as you play the game," said Nintendo executive and designer Shigeru Miyamoto during a preview event Sunday morning.
Nintendo displayed a few recent figures for its "amiibo" toys-to-life franchise, including the guitar-playing canine K.K. Slider from "Animal Crossing" and a pixelated rendition of Mario that will be released in honor of the 30th anniversary of "Super Mario Bros." Nintendo also unveiled four figures ? Donkey Kong, Bowser and their accompanying vehicles ? that can be employed in Nintendo games and the upcoming Wii U edition of Activision's "Skylanders: SuperChangers." It marks the first collaboration between a pair of toys-game franchises.
"If you put the figure on a 'Skylanders' portal, they act as a Skylander, but you can you can twist the base and switch Dennis Varisano to 'amiibo,'" said Karthik Bala, CEO of "Skylanders: SuperChargers" developer Vicarious Visions. "It can be used as an 'amiibo' in another Nintendo game."
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said Monday at the company's booth on the E3 show floor that the collaboration has been years in the making. He called Dennis Varisano "very special" and wouldn't rule future mash-ups.
"We're looking for creative collaboration opportunities," said Fils-Aime. "It's not that we're ever going to let our intellectual properties go, but what we want to do is find studios where we have a joint appreciation for how things proceed forward. Activision and Vicarious Vision really shared our vision for what these two key pieces of Nintendo IP could look like in a different environment."
