Where Is Duckhunt For Nintendo Land?
As I scrolled through my Twitter feed I noticed a tweet from @EMP_TriForce_GM telling Nintendo of America that Duck Hunt for Nintendo Land would be cool. I have to agree, it would be pretty fantastic. It also got me to wondering, what other classic games have we just forgotten that would make great mini games for a console such as the Wii U? I have to agree with TriForce and say that an updated D...
Katsuya Eguchi Explains Why Nintendo Land Does Not Feature Online Play
In my opinion, Nintendo Land is the perfect pack in game. It gives us familiar characters, fun and quick mini games, as well as a great family experience. What more could we ask for? Some have asked for online multi-player capabilities. It turns out, Nintendo Land was built for in “in home” play by design. Producer Katsuya Eguchi says that the game was better suited to play in a roo...

Not my favorite demo of E3, but Takamurus Ninja Castle will fit in nicely among the Nintendo Land attractions
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 ...
How do you expect me to believe that Animal Crossing would make a good mini-game? Wait,this is actually fun.
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...
Miss Any of The Trailers From E3?

If a video is missing, don’...
The Legend of Zelda: Battle Chest will be a great addition to Nintendo Land, not as deep as I would have hoped
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.
Donkey Kong: Crash Course is a crash course in how to use the Wii U GamePad
After all was said and done today, Nintendo really made me a believer. Well, a believer in Nintendo Land anyways. There were certainly a few duds, but Donkey Kong: Crash Course certainly wasn’t one of them. The game is almost as hard to describe as a beautiful looking Italian lady is to talk to, but despite that fact it was most certainly fun to play. Like the rest of the games in Nintendo L...
Luigis Mansion Haunted Hijinks, almost the only reason you need to be excited for Nintendo Land
Jaded, cynical, a big fat loser. Those are all words that come to mind when I think about my knee jerk reaction to Nintendo’s press conference earlier today. Simply put, the Wii U, and more specifically, Nintendo Land needs to be played before it is understood. Although the game is indeed a mini-game collection, there was just a magic about using the Wii U GamePad for the first time in new a...
E3 adventures! Straight from the show floor
So far so good in the land of Nintendo. After a little wait, I have finally gotten hands on with the entire Nintendo Land lineup here at E3 2012. I must say, I judged too soon. the game will most certainly be a killer app, and will get people used to the Wii U GamePad. I am on my way to try out all the third party offerings, so keep up with me on Twitter (@infendo_eugene) for up to the second upda...
