Twilight Princess HD leak reveals new amiibo dungeon


We don’t know all that much about what Nintendo’s doing for the The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess HD on the Wii U. We know that it’s getting HD graphics, of course, and that it ships with  a Wolf Link and Midna amiibo.
Thanks to an information leak by Amazon France, we might know a little bit more. It looks like the amiibo that ships with the game will unlock a brand new dungeon.
NeoGAF user GhostTrick spotted and translated the Amazon.fr listing for Twilight Princess HD. Here’s their translation.
Unlock bonuses with “The Legend of Zelda” amiibos: Tap all the amiibos for the Zelda series to unlock bonuses in the game, such as regenerating your life, or getting arrows for your bow. The new Wolf Link amiibo even allows you to get into a new dungeon: “The Twilight Cave”. The data recorded on this Amiibo can even be transfered to the next episode on Wii U.
The Twilight Cave hopefully features the same dungeon quality that Twilight Princess was known for. Not to get on a soapbox here, but I felt that Skyward Sword‘s dungeons relied a bit too much on backtracking for difficulty padding.

Sony is sending out PlayStation Plus extension to make up for outage


Wait a minute! Was there a PlayStation Network outage this month?… Oh, there it is we wrote about it . I didn’t even notice.
Anyway, if you were affected and had your dreams ruined by not having access to PlayStation Network, or you just want a free extension at the expense of Sony, the company will be accommodating for the lost time. VG247 reports that Sony is sending out extensions via emails this month to those who were affected.
The extensions cover PlayStation Plus, PlayStation Now, and video rentals. There is no mention of how to claim your extension, but VG247 guesses it will just happen automatically because that’s what happened the last time.
Seriously, when did this happen? What was I doing?
