Wii U
What do you think? Will the Wii U change the gaming landscape?
With the Wii U on the horizon, it’s obvious that Nintendo is ready for a change of pace. While the console may not offer the highest specs available, they definitely are on track to change the way we think about games. We can already see that this is true with Microsoft and their Smart Glass initiative. Perhaps this has been in development for awhile, but from the outside looking in it looks...
Is Nintendo Wii U poised to have the best launch in Nintendos history?
Nintendo has been taking a lot of flack as of late, what with their recent drop in share prices in the Japanese stock market, and the lackluster and quite frankly rushed 3DS launch. Fast forward a few months and Nintendo seems to be on the right track once again. Both Wii U bundles are already selling out online, not even a week after their big pricing announcement and aside from a few naysayers o...

Over the weekend we received great feedback about the Wii U and your thoughts on the device. We have some very passionate fans out there! It was great to see the views from those of you that are on both sides of the fence. I, for one, am very excited about the launch and cannot wait to get the deluxe bundle. For those of you that decided to think about the purchase, there is still time but you ...

Breaking: Black Ops 2 confirmed for Wii U
Joystiq has managed to uncover a Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 booth set up at Nintendo’s Wii U event taking place in NYC. A bit of a shock, considering critics and analysts predictions that the Wii U would not garner as much third-party support. Still, this is a great sign of things to come for the soon-to-be-released console. We’ll have more regarding Black Ops II as soon as we get mor i...

It looks like the news that they are releasing will definitely be important enough to tell the world at the same time (3PM UK time, 10AM EST). It is anticipated...

According to the source, the new Zelda will not feature the darker style that was highlighted in Twilight Princess, however it will feature a look more in the art...
New Big Budget RPG For Wii U?
After a hectic ending to the work week, I took full advantage of the three day weekend. I had hopes of finishing TWEWY for the iOS (I strongly recommend it, especially if you have not played the original. Also, I don’t want to spoil but it appears as though the sequel we wanted might be on its way!) although I had almost zero gaming time. In fact, my Saturday was spent watching Notre Dame...
