For those that might have missed the Wonderful 101 Direct, I have posted the video below. If you pay close attention to the video, you might hear that the release date is September 15th, although it is easy to miss (sarcasm intended).

Evolution Of Gaming Consoles
The editors at Online Game Design Degrees and Schools sent over the below infographic, which shows the evolution of gaming consoles. Sure, we have seen this before, but to take it a step further, they have included some information regarding price and sales, as well as some history of a few of the units.

What are your thoug...
Weekend Discussion: What If Nintendo Bought All The Old Stuff?
I was going to piggy back off an article on Forbes.com titled “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Nintendo” (thanks Lou) where the writer, Paul Tassi, tells us what he thinks Nintendo should do to bring themselves back to the top. He had a lot of really great ideas, most of which I agree with, but after a little thought, I think we have beat that topic enough. So instead, I thought it ...
