Iwata’s Thoughts On Social Media Connectivity
Social media is part of our daily lives in one form or another.

Nintendo has always done “their thing” when it comes to gaming, so it is only natural that they created their own soci...

Nintendo has announced that Mario Kart 8 will include a feature known as Mario Kart TV. This feature allows players to share replays of their races on Miiverse. I’m sure there are more details to follow, but for now it seems like a move in the right direction.

Miiverse Code of Conduct: Understanding The Ban

What about the time you posted your best doodle on the Miiverse, and found out you were banned for a couple days due to inappropriate content? Many have had those exact scenarios play out, only to be left wondering what they could have done to prevent such bans and deleti...
Wii U: First Impressions
So the Wii U has been out for a good three days now and I’d thought I’d write a bit of what impressed me and what hasn’t so far.
Iwata Talks The Demise of Friend Codes, Miiverse. More To Come.
In a post-financial briefing analyst discussion last week, Iwata discussed a few things of interest concerning the (fast approaching!) Wii U.

From their facebook profile I can find information...
