Breaking: Black Ops 2 confirmed for Wii U
Joystiq has managed to uncover a Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 booth set up at Nintendo’s Wii U event taking place in NYC. A bit of a shock, considering critics and analysts predictions that the Wii U would not garner as much third-party support. Still, this is a great sign of things to come for the soon-to-be-released console. We’ll have more regarding Black Ops II as soon as we get mor i...

Pre-Nintendo Direct News?
As I surfed the web today, in search of Nintendo news, I was immediately reminded that APPLE owns today. Almost every web search resulted in at least three of the top five articles referencing APPLE and the iPhone 5, although I did find one article on leaked Wii U specs (we have been there before, so I figured I would wait until the real deal tomorrow). So, I took my search to Twitter…
World Wide Nintendo Direct 09/13/2012
I think it is safe to assume that all of us are fairly excited about Thursday’s Nintendo Direct. It is even more exciting to hear that Nintendo Europe will be holding their Nintendo Direct at exactly the same time as North America. It looks like the news that they are releasing will definitely be important enough to tell the world at the same time (3PM UK time, 10AM EST). It is anticipated...

A Little Of This, A Little of That
While we anxiously await the announcement of the Wii U release date and pricing, Nintendo news has been somewhat low key. So rather than focus on one topic, I thought I would share a few “happenings” in the Nintendo Universe. First off, it has been announced that The Legend of Zelda II: The Adventures of Link will be released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Of course, this was the second ...

We are all excited about the impeding release of the Wii U, maybe even more so the anticipation of the release date and pricing. But what about the future games? The Official Nintendo Magazine posted a list of the Top Ten games that they think could work wonders on the Wii U. After looking over the list, I will say that I agree with most of the choices:
The Legend Of Zelda: Symphony Of Goddesses Tour Dates
Yesterday’s news/rumor of a new Zelda game for the Wii U was not only exciting, but also brought back memories of my first time playing The Legend of Zelda. Honestly, I was expecting a Mario clone but was pleasantly surprised with the overhead view and the captivating music. I was hooked immediately. I think that one of my favorite things about the Zelda games is the music. The music is i...
