Reggie Speaks: “Games Drive The Install Base”
In an interview with Forbes, Reggie was ready when the tough question about the Wii U’s lack of power, compared to the PS4 and Xbox One, was discussed. In fact, he pointed out two very successful, yet underpowered, consoles from the past that dominated the marker…the PS2 and the Wii. Why were they successful? Simply put, it was the games. “The processing power of the hardware really...
Review: Urban Trial Freestyle
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to demo Urban Trial Freestyle, from Tate Multimedia. Urban Trial Freestyle is available now via the 3DS eShop for $5.99. For me, there was an immediate flashback to Excite Bike, and that alone made my heart pitter patter for more. Starting out, you have your bike, your character, and a city course to explore. However, as you progress and earn money, you ...
Microsoft Thought They Owned Donkey Kong?
I know that Microsoft is a very large company, and I am sure that things get lost in the shuffle all the time, but could they really have thought they owned the rights to Donkey Kong? According to Chris Seavor, formerly of Rare, they did. On twitter, Seavor was asked about whether the Xbox One would receive a version of Knack. He went into a story about Microsoft’s acquirement of Rare. ...
Weekend Discussion: Handheld Gaming
Yesterday, I posted an article that shared the thoughts of Mark Cerny about Nintendo. In the comments, the 3DS was mentioned and a strange point was brought up, that I found interesting. The first commentor said, “My son hasn’t touched his 3DS since getting an iPad.” I found that very interesting, especially since the iPad is not a dedicated gaming device, and (although there is a ...
Mark Cerny Hopes Sony Can Match Nintendo’s Legacy
Whether you are a PlayStation or Xbox fanboy, you cannot deny that Nintendo’s longevity deserves not only respect, but also praise. Through the years, we have seen the likes of Sega, TurboGrafix, and Atari disappear form the console business. Only Neo Geo has somehow stayed around as long as Nintendo, although they have hid in the shadows mostly. Mark Cerny, Lead Architect for Sony and the...

Third Party Developers Talk Wii U
The Wii U currently has a decent number of third party games. However, many gamers are unsatisfied with the not only the current selection but also the projected selection. Nintendo has stated that they plan on concentrating on their own first party titles before they worry too much about the third parties, but some of the third parties have come out to show their stance. Electronic Arts, who ha...
Iwata’s Thoughts On Social Media Connectivity
Social media is part of our daily lives in one form or another. When Nintendo hyped up the MiiVerse, I expected that there would be some sort of connectivity to Facebook, Twitter, etc. However, when that connectivity was not there, I was not really surprised either. Nintendo has always done “their thing” when it comes to gaming, so it is only natural that they created their own soci...

Capcom Teases More Mega Man
Mega Man has held a special place in gaming for me since I first played Mega Man 1 back in the day. At first, I thought the game was easy…until I fought the level boss. It was then that I realized there was going to be some strategy involved in this seemingly normal side scroller. I was hooked. Mega Man 6 has just released on the 3DS virtual console, and there are are more planned for the...
