Final Fantasy has been an integral part of the Nintendo catalog for many years. As the sequels were released, we were introduced to vast worlds, heart touching story lines, believable characters, and soul tickling compositions. If you browse a Final Fantasy Fan’s collection, you are sure to find the OST’s from the games. Even I have a station on Pandora dedicated to Final Fantasy, a...
In an interview with Stephen Totilo of Kotaku, Reggie Fils-Aime discussed several burning questions regarding the Wii U and the Wii U GamePad. Some of theses questions included what the battery life of the controller is, how developers will utilize “Off-TV” play on the Wii U GamePad screen, and why multi-touch would have skyrocketed the price of said controller. However, one question t...
Zelda fans better clear an eight foot swath on their wall!
Now that the excitement of E3 has come and gone, I feel it is time to spread the love to some of the unsung heroes of E3…The Cosplayers! The scantily clad women, the elaborately outfitted fan boys, and even those that…well, we are not sure what they are, We salute you and your bravery!
Not all the games in Nintendo Land can be stupendous, and unfortunately, stupendous is not a word I would use to describe Takamuru’s Ninja Castle. The game isn’t bad per se, but it certainly didn’t have me wanting to go back again and again like some of the other games in the collection. Think of Takamuru’s Ninja Castle as a Time Crisis style rail shooter. The objective of ...

It was by sheer serendipity that I stumbled upon the Project P-100 game demo station this week, and had I not done so, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to play one of the most unique Wii U titles on display at this year’s E3. Developed by Platinum Games, Project P-100 on th...
Another of the games being shown from the Nintendo Land collection this week Animal Crossing: Sweet Day. While Sweet Day is clearly designed to play with a collection of friends, something a trade show filled with complete strangers doesn’t exactly facilitate, the mini-game does have the makings of a fun time. I can see spending many an hour with Sweet Day on Wii U, especially when playing w...
With all the great game news pouring in from E3 this week, one game-related item has gotten a bit overshadowed in the shuffle: Disney has finally released some real film images and an official trailer for the upcoming CGI videogame fantasy extravaganza, Wreck-it Ralph. All I can say is, if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, follow this link. I agree with what others have voiced: if this turns...
Remember the New Play Control! version of Pikmin that released way back in 2009? Yup, so do I. You know how Nintendo plans on finally releasing the New Play Control! version of Pikmin 2 here in the states next week? Yeah, I plan on picking that one up too. If you have played both of these, then you pretty much know what to expect for Pikmin 3, because aside from the added Wii U GamePad map, the ga...
… and was most definitely ZombiU, hands down. It wasn’t even close. Granted, most of my time thus far has been entirely with Nintendo products, but even still, the game has the makings of greatness. Not only did the game scare the pants off of me at some points, but the game was so polished that you would think it was ready for release tomorrow. The game takes place in a 2012 zombie in...
One of the games on display in the Nintendo Land collection this week was The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest. Like most of the games in Nintendo Land, Battle Quest seems as if it was specifically developed to train players how to use the Wii U GamePad, and as an added bonus the Wii MotionPlus controller.
