Despite reports that Nintendo plans to sell the Wii U at a loss, they intend to ensure adequate stock levels are available throughout the holiday season. To ensure the adequate stock levels, Nintendo will replenish stock levels on a consistent basis. “Wii U stock levels will be tight on day one.

A Bit Of Hands On Time With The Wii U
With the Wii U touring across Canada for the next month, I decided to drop in to the trailer this past weekend to check it out when it was in Toronto.
Isaiah Triforce Johnson Already Waiting In Line For The Wii U!
We are 27 days from the Wii U launch, but that isn’t stopping Isaiah “Triforce” Johnson from camping out for his. Isaiah has made a name for himself as being the first person to buy almost every newly launched piece of Nintendo hardware. Mr. Johnson was the first to purchase the Wii and the 3DS in North America. It seems only natural that he would be the first to purchase the W...

Wii U Voice Chat: Great Feature, Bad Set Up
All of us are anxious to find out more about the Wii U online gaming community. Some feel that Nintendo’s lack of information points to a less than stellar experience, others feel that Nintendo won’t let us down. Regardless, we all have to wait and see. A small clue to the online gaming experience comes in the form of voice chat. The Wii U will allow players to speak with one anothe...
Nintendo lists Pikmin 3 for March 2013 release
It has been mentioned before on Infendo Radio about the possibility of Pikmin 3 missing the Wii U’s launch date. During a recent edition of Iwata Asks interview, the company confirmed that Pikmin 3 is listed for release during March 2013, which fits in line with the Wii U “launch window.” Again, the news isn’t all surprising, considering Nintendo may want to spread out more...
IGN Reports a Triple-A Square Enix Port Coming to Wii U
IGN has reported that the studio that is porting Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U, will also be porting a “Triple-A” Square Enix title to the Wii U. Although there is no official word on the title, I am hoping for either a Final Fantasy X HD, Final Fantasy 7 remake (just wishful thinking there, i would put money on this NOT happening), Kingdom Hearts 1.5, or maybe TWEWY, or TWEWY 2. Watch t...
Rayman Legends delayed into 2013
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKGXtm02zBE[/youtube] Disappointing news to report, but the wait for Rayman Legends just got a bit longer, as the title has been delayed into the Q1 of 2013. The game was originally slated to release shortly after the Wii U launch in late November/early December, whereas in the UK it was a launch title. But, the development team at Ubisoft Montpellier felt t...

Beyond the obvious inclusions of New Super Mario Bros.

Rumor: Wii U Region Locked
Eurogamer has reported that they received confirmation, from Nintendo UK, that the Wii U will be region locked. Now, this comes as no surprise since the Wii and the 3DS were also region locked, but it is a bit frustrating. There is nothing worse than finding a rare, or obscure title at a flea market, or online, and finding that your system cannot play it because of the region lock. I know that r...
What five third party franchises do you want on Wii U?
Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were found exclusively on Nintendo consoles. Nowadays any console manufacturer would be lucking to see any Triple A title come solely for their console. Even though this is true, that doesn’t mean that it’s not important for each system to have a few games to call their own. Here is a list of five games franchises that would make sense to bring over to Wi...
