Nintendo Direct 11/13/2013

It's been a while since the last Nintendo Direct. Here's the latest news.

Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds- The anticipated sequel to A Link to the Past launches soon on November 22. It will be a great adventure for fans of the series and newcomers alike. Link has a new ability to turn into a drawing that allows him to move along the walls. There are all new dungeons to explore. Link must save two worlds: Hyrule and Lorule. There are all new characters such as Irene, the witch. She'll periodically fly overhead and the citizens will tell her to aid someone wearing green for good fortune. Touch the bell on the Touch Screen and she'll take Link to places of Hyrule where he's found a weather vane, making travel easier. Her broom can take Link between Hyrule and Lorule. Seres is the daughter of the sancturary's priest, and a target of Yuga, the villain. TA fourth new character is reached by using Zora's Flippers and a bottle of premium milk from the Milk Bar. Streetpass with other players to battle Shadow Link. To battle Shadow Link and create your own Shadow Link, talk to Gramps. You have nothing to lose in fighting Shadow Link and victory gains you rupees. Follow Nintendo on Instagram to view 4 mini trailers for the game from now until launch. Limited edition 3DS XLs with the game bundled with them will be available on launch day. -November 22

Mario Party: Island Tour- Play all 7 game boards with up to 3 friends using Download Play. There are 80 new minigames and new puzzles and extras. Bowser's Tower is a single player minigame challenge. Every fifth floor is a boss battle. Enable Streetpass to tag up to 10 players and challenge their Streetpass data. -November 22

Bravely Default- This is an RPG where each character selects either "Brave" for their action or "Default". "Default" means a character defends for their entire turn, building up "Brave Points". "Brave Points" can be borrowed from future turns. When a character has enough "Brave Points", choose "Brave" to spend "Brave Points", which allows a character to unleash multiple attacks that turn. Some features allow you to speed up battle or freeze time. Leave the software running while the #DS is in sleep mode to gain Sleep Points, which allow you to unleash powerful attacks. You can also customize your characters. Streetpass other players, who can aid you in battle or help rebuild your hometown. A Collector's Edition will be available, which includes the game, AR cards, an art book and the soundtrack. -February 7
