Gaze at Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
[youtube]http://youtu.be/4gOhbzFLg0U[/youtube] Nintendo demoed gameplay of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds at New York Comic Con. The company showed off some of the game’s features including the new item renting system. It all looks absolutely delightful. But to be honest: I never liked handheld Zeldas. In fact, Oracle of Ages for Gameboy Color was the last — and onl...
Call of Duty: Ghosts Clans Trailer
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ENaKZjStM0[/youtube] Activision released a trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts. The latest video details the game’s Clans, a major part of Ghosts‘ multiplayer experience. Joining Clans — besides playing death matches with your friends — grants additional experience points and rewards. Also, another tidbit: Clans will not be cross...
Iwata: “Nintendo is not good at competing so we always have to challenge”
Much like Hiroshi Yamauchi, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata isn’t afraid to admit about failure. While speaking to the B Dash Camp held at Osaka, Japan, Iwata delved into several topics ranging from the recent death of former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi to pushing the Pokemon in the Americas. Iwata later mentioned in the interview about Nintendo’s longevity and how the company ...
No Online Play for Mario Party: Island Tour
Mario Party: Island Tour will not feature online multiplayer, according to a Nintendo representative at a recent demo event. The game, however, can be played using one card in Download Play. Island Tour is Mario Party’s début on 3DS. The title marks the series’ third portable entry, preceded by Mario Party Advance and Mario Party DS. Mushroom Kingdom’s beach part...
Pokemon: Remembering the Good Times
I recall fondly my first foray into Pokémon. It began over 14 years ago with a Pokémon Blue purchase at a local Toys R Us. I still recall the game’s packaging new smell, inserting the Game Boy cartridge, booting the game, and hearing Red/Blue’s theme song. On that day, I met Professor Oak and had to choose between three Pokémon: Bulbasaur (grass/poison-type) Charmander (fire-t...
Bayonetta 2 Playable at New York Comic Con

NYCC runs from October 10-13 and will be held again in Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

Wii U System Update
So with all of the attention that surrounded the Nintendo Direct on Tuesday, a system update for the Wii U stealthily downloaded to many consoles on Monday to surprise many gamers. I should add, it will only update automatically (or stealthily if you prefer) if the user gives the system permission to do so. After the installation is complete, there are a few new features that are easily visible....
Single-Player Only Batman Arkham Origins on Wii U Discounted $10
When Batman Arkham Origins releases on Wii U on October 25, it will cost $50. The $10 discount, however, comes at a cost: this tablet-enhanced version of Origins will not feature multiplayer. It’s a weird call. A decision made more bizarre when you hear the logic from publisher Warner Bros. in summer: “The team is focusing development efforts on platforms with the largest MP aud...
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Meets Kickstarter Target
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero met its Kickstarter funding goal. The title crossed the $400,000 mark and now makes its way to every major console platform, including Wii U. Do you want to show your support? Don’t worry; it isn’t too late to contribute. The project has several stretch goals that yield additional chapters and modes. You can expect Half Genie Hero to release around October 2014. ...
Opinion: Nintendo Counterbalances Industry Excess
Nintendo Entertainment System was the first video game system I played. Back then, my playtime was mostly a save-the-princess affair. Playing Nintendo games granted me a way to do something larger than myself. It allowed me to do good deeds. As I’ve grown older and technology has advanced, mainstays like The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Brothers, and Pokémon counterbala...
