Nintendo: Zelda Wii U is ‘like going from Japanese food to Western-style food’

The Wii U is getting a totally new entry in the revered Zelda series this year, and the game’s producer is suggesting that it’s going to surprise fans.

Nintendo’s Eiji Aonuma, who is currently directing The Legend of Zelda for Wii U, says that the new game is using a slightly different formula, according to an interview in Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu (first reported and translated by Kotaku). The producer explained to the magazine that he is busy working on a lot of the game’s text and dialogue, but he also noted that production on the oft-delayed project “has really taken shape.”
