Nintendo Direct 2.13.14 Announcement: Steel Diver: Sub Wars

The game is an FPS of sorts that allows players to take part in 4-on-4 underwater submarine fights, with other players either locally or o...

Check them out below: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSxDAyit9ak[/youtube] Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is going to arrive for Wii U in about a w...

The sequels that never happened
It’s a shame when a new game is trying something original and exciting, but then doesn’t sell well and never gets a second chance. Here are a few examples of games with unique ideas, but never got the chance to refine them. At E3 1999 Silicon Knights took to the stage and revealed a brand new N64 game, this was Eternal Darkness. Despite being heavily delayed until after the Gamecube la...

Which Nintendo IP should try changing genres?
Nintendo is working with Tecmo-Koei to have The Legend of Zelda made into a Hack and slash game and Retro reinvented Metroid as a First person shooter. What other Franchises could jump game styles and still retain their core ideas? Maybe Fire Emblem could become a standard JRPG in the vein of Suikoden with its multitude of characters and would still have some strategic elements of the previous gam...
