Nice, thanks for the info Gryphon. I was pretty excited when that teaser was first released. I hope it succeeds and there are more Nintendo spinoffs of sorts. I wonder if North America will be able to get the premium and treasure box versions? or if its just in Japan.. also the 6 costumes. DLC?

I saw the trailer for this a while back, but I can't say I'm very interested in it. It seems a bizarre direction for Zelda.

And what the heck is that boob monster of a character? Nintendo, I expect better from you.

Another character is due to revealed this week. Anyone want to take a guess?

Well so far we have quite of few females revealed. Personally, I'd like to play as a Goron, so I'm hoping someone like Darunia will be playable.

The game's twitter account said something along the lines of 98% chance of the new character being revelaed.

98...Ocarina Of Time? So it's probably Sheik or one of the sages.

That oddly specific percentage makes it sound like "Fi" from Skyward Sword.

I nominate Biggoron. The entire battle takes place on his belly and the Battle System will shift over to something reminiscent of Donkey Konga.

I'll guess Skull Kid.
