Nintendo Direct alert: November 5th, 2PM PT
Another Nintendo Direct livestream is just around the corner. Set to begin Wednesday, November 5th at 2:00 PM Pacific, it will apparently contain “updates about upcoming games for 3DS and Wii U.” Nintendo’s wording here may indicate a lack of any substantial announcements, but when it comes to Nintendo Direct broadcasts, the company surprises us more often than not. I’m loo...
Welcome to the witching hour- Bayonetta 2 review
If there was a game I never imagined would come to the Wii U, it would be a sequel to Bayonetta. I mean, the game’s hyper-sexualized protagonist really goes against Nintendo’s more family friendly approach to game design philosophy, but after saving Bayonetta 2 from the depths of the video game graveyard, Nintendo turned some heads. Bayonetta 2 makes no attempts to hide what it is and ...

Link’s amiibo figure will be compatible with Hyrule Warriors
Nintendo of America tweeted today that Link’s amiibo figure will be compatible with Hyrule Warriors. This is a game that wasn’t listed as amiibo-compatible until now, but we’ll have to wait to find out exactly how the NFC figure will work with Hyrule Warriors. Since Link’s is the only figure currently announced to work with the game, does this change your previous amiibo pu...
Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty! has been delayed for Wii U…
…and the blame seems to be on the Basic model’s rather limited 8GB memory. Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty! is a remake of Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, a puzzle/platformer released for the original PlayStation way back in 1997, and is being redone completely from the ground up. The original creator of the series, Lorne Lanning, is working alongside Just Add Water on the remake an...

Sakurai teases two new game modes for Smash Bros. Wii U
In his daily Miiverse updates, Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai posted an image of two new game modes for the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. Upon further inspection, the two modes are single-player options, but the titles are blurred out only showing Master and Crazy with Master Hand in each section. Sakurai only stated in his Miiverse post, “Now, what mode is this…?!” T...
