This week in the Nintendo eShop: Blue haired falchion wielding warriors join the fight for mobile supremacy, Yoshi adopts a pupper pal, and Konami reminds us it once made video games.

I recently sat down with my six-year-old daughter and loaded up The Legend of Zelda on Wii U’s Virtual Console. As a lifelong Nintendo fan and a child of the ’80s and ’90s, I’ve played through the game far too many times to count, and I can barely remember my…
