Want to see 7 minutes of Nintendo Land gameplay?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRMwYL3sYy0[/youtube] Nintendo has released a lengthy walkthrough video of Wii U’s Nintendo Land, showcasing many of the mini games and how they’re played.

Still want to preorder a Wii U? Might want to look to Amazon.
As the highly anticipated November 18, 2012 Nintendo Wii U release date approaches, the laws of supply and demand appear to be showing up both in-store and online retailers. Most online and in-store pre-order options are closed up and not in-stock, leaving one with dwindling options to secure the latest offering from the Big N. Folks can camp out at release day stores in hopes of g...
Molyneux: ” I struggle to see anything amazing coming out of Nintendo”
Whenever a new console is launched, there is bound to be a certain amount of negativity surrounding the release. Usually, we see the insults coming from the other console manufacturers as they try to steal the curiosity their way. It is a rare occasion that we see a developer bashing a console, the obvious reason is that they do not want to burn any bridges. Peter Molyneux, Former Bullfrog and L...
Sneak Peek: Nintendo eShop for the Wii U
Nintendo of Japan recently posted photos of what the Wii U version of the eShop will look and operate. For now, not much to report as the page’s descriptions are in Japanese, and I’m not the go-to translator at Infendo.com sadly. However, the one screengrab does show off a clean and (maybe?) streamlined interface. Again, just a preview of what will hopefully lead to a North America spe...
One To Watch: Chasing Aurora
A new trailer just surfaced for the indie Wii U launch title, Chasing Aurora. It’s by Austrian developer Broken Rules, and is the result of a bigger team and a lot more time than the university project that was, ‘And Yet It Moves’, a WiiWare title which lacked in substance, despite having a solid riff on a good idea. It’s a game about “the dynamics of flight&#...
Mega Man Coming To 3DS Virtual Console
A Mega Man sequel has been missing for far too long. In fact, the last time we saw him, he seemed to have let himself go quite a bit. Unfortunately, there has not been an announcement of a new Mega Man game but there is Mega Man news! Christian Svensson, Capcom Senior VP, and Brett Elston, Capcom Community Manager, told Nintendo Power that they plan on bringing all six of the NES Mega Man titles...
Japan Nintendo Direct Unboxes Wii U
If you missed today’s Nintendo direct (Japan Edition) you missed three segments on the Wii U. In the first segment, we saw a Wii U un-boxing by Iwata.

Miyamoto Questions The Need For A New F-Zero
In a recent interview with Game Kult, Miyamoto questioned the need for a new F-Zero game. When asked why there hasn’t been an update since 2004 for the GBA, Miyamoto seemed surprised that fans were clamouring for a new game. He made the opinion that the series hadn’t evolved much since it’s debut in Japan on the SNES since 1990. After a quick survey on Twitter, one of the game Fr...
Miyamoto Talks Metroid, Zelda, And Wii U
In a recent interview with French website, Gamekult.com, Miyamoto was asked a series of questions about his role in the Wii U development, the future of Metroid, and how link was named. Of course, there is not a lot of new news in the interview, but there is hint at a new Metroid (beyond Nintendoland’s Metroid Blast). I have translated the interview from French to English, below. Please exc...
Nintendo of Greece Deploys Mario Flash Mob to Market Wii U
