Gamestop Sells Out Of Limited Edition WindWaker HD

Somewhere, Harrison Milfeld is shedding a tear as he hears news that the Special Edition Wind Waker HD collection with Ganondorf figurine is sold out in the USA.  Although it still seems to be available in Europe, I have a feeling it won’t last long.  If this is any indication of how the Special Edition Wii U bundle might sell, get yours early! What are your thoughts about such a quick sell ...

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero hits Kickstarter

  WayForward has announced Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, a new HD game in development seeking funding as a Kickstarter project. If successful the game will release on Wii U eShop, Steam as well as other consoles. If you are wondering why WayForward has decided to crowd fund the game their welcome section will shed some light:   “Over the last 23 years WayForward has developed more than 200 l...

Kanto starters available to choose from in Pokemon X and Y, mega evolutions revealed

Players who pick up Pokemon X or Pokemon Y will, of course, have to choose between three new starter Pokemon: Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie. Today’s Nintendo Direct revealed that, in addition to one of these, players will get to choose one of the original starters: Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle (I’m wiping a tear of nostalgia away as I type). Going even further, the broadcast rev...

Pokemon “cloud” storage of sorts, the Pokemon Bank, announced

It’s 5:22am my time, and I’ve just finished watching the promised Pokemon-themed Nintendo Direct. Arguably the largest announcement of the Direct video was that of the Pokemon Bank, a secure online storage bank that’ll hold up to 3,000 of your Pokemon. The Pokemon Bank is downloadable for the Nintendo 3DS, with an annual fee attached. Thus, it appears to be an optional service. I...

If you have been following the Mighty No. 9, you will be excited to hear the following message from Keiji Inafune:   [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEYGZ7SFvbM[/youtube]   “One of the things we’re most proud of is the overwhelmingly positive vibe we all share in this mission. There are no losers in our success here, and no bad guys to rail against. We all know that none of the a...

Review: My Western Horse 3D

My Western Horse 3D is not the sort of game I would normally search out to purchase.  However, when given the opportunity to give it a test drive, I thought why not.  This game is definitely for the younger crowd, mostly geared towards girls.  Since I have two daughter’s (One in high school) I knew that both would thoroughly enjoy the game.  Before I passed it off to them for approval, I too...

Weekend Discussion: Nintendo’s Making Their Move…

There has been a lot of movement over in the Nintendo camp this week, some of the news has received overwhelming praise (Wii U price cut and Zelda themed Wii U) and others have received mixed reviews (2DS).  What are your overall thoughts about the movement over in Nintendo’s camp?  Is this just a taste of what is to come, or a minor appeasement to us fans?  Should this news be enough to mak...

First Impressions: Pokemon Rumble U

Pokemon Rumble U is available to download from the Wii U eShop right now for the price of $17.99. The game’s premise is quite simple: you take control of any toy Pokemon which you’ve collected (you’ll have four to get started with: Pikachu, Tepig, Snivy, and Oshawott) and battle in various arenas to befriend more toy Pokemon and progress in the game. In addition to your own Pokem...

Nintendo Still Working On Unified Accounts

I have heard good and bad surrounding the upcoming 2DS, and I am on the side that has good to say.  For one, it is inexpensive (as far as handhelds go) and I know many people that cannot use the 3D functionality due to it causing headaches (I am one of them at times).  A 2D option, without the 3D fluff that they will never use, and is less expensive, is a great idea.  The only issue I have about t...
