Rayman Legends is the cream of the platforming crop
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKGXtm02zBE&hd=1One [/youtube]If there was one thing to take away from E3 this year, it would definitely be that Ubisoft will have a very strong presence on Wii U when the console launches later this year. One of the more inspiring platformers to come out in years was Rayman Origins which hit Wii consoles late last year. The art style was simply fantasti...
Here you go, have a ZombiU trailer
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAz48VvPAmM&hd=1 [/youtube] I was very impressed with ZombiU when I got my hands on time at this year’s E3, so say what you will about the Wii U, but I know at least one killer app for the console when it launches later this year. Ubisoft seems to be placing a lot of stock in Nintendo’s latest console with two console exclusives right off the...
Tank! Tank! Tank!
Back in the Atari days, there was a little game called combat, in which two players battled each other with the use of tanks. Basically, it was a glorified pong type game, but it was awesome! I can remember playing with my little green army men and G.I. Joes (Yeah, I mixed the two together, don’t judge) and when it got to a point where they would battle, a friend and I would turn on Combat...
Nintendos roadmap for Wii U success
Nintendo has been making a killing, especially in their home country, with the 3DS. Not only has the launch of the 3DS XL (or LL as it is known in Japan) sold like gang busters in its first week, the original 3DS saw a huge surge with the launch of New Super Mario Bros. 2. While there are still a couple of solid titles ahead for the Nintendo Wii, the same sales trend cannot be said for the console...
Could We See Turok: Dinosaur Hunter On the Wii U Virtual Console?
Back in the Day I would casually pick up a copy of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter at my local comic book hangout. It was never a favorite of mine, but it was a decent read. When the game was released for the N64 I didn’t rush out to buy it. In fact, It wasn’t until a couple years later that I actually played it. Once I pressed start I was hooked! I have never been a fan of FPS games, but...
Update: Did Target, Amazon, and Best Buy just reveal the Wii U box art?
According to retail websites, Target, Amazon, andBest Buy, have updated their catalog with the final Wii U software box art. At this time, the final box art designs have not been confirmed by Nintendo, so it’s quite possible these are just placeholders. The supposed final designs do resemble that of the Gamecube software box art with the curved Wii U logo portion at the top. In addition, the...
Crysis 3 Possible for Wii U
Have you pre-ordered your copy of Crysis 3 yet? If so, you might want to reconsider which console you purchased it for. Mike Read, Producer at Crytek, has confirmed that their development studio is now working with Nintendo. He did not confirm that Crysis 3 would release for the Wii U, however said it should not be ruled out. “I wouldn’t say there’s no chance. I wouldn’t say no chance. I mean t...
Nintendo Not Concerned With Being First to Market With Next Gen Console
Satoru Iwata has stated that Being first to the market with the Wii U is not that important. Sure the advantage of launching before the other two players does put them ahead of the game, but what is more important is price. “One of the reasons we believe this is the time for Nintendo to launch the Wii U is it’s going to be important for the world.” Said Iwata. Although I am not sure why the Wii U...
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 not coming to the Wii U?
Nintendo has insisted that they will work with 3rd party developers to release key multi-platform games. Unfortunately, it seems as though not all of the third party developers have jumped on board just yet. Dave Cox, Head of product planning and development at Konami, has stated that Castlevania: Lord of Shadow 2 will not be coming to the Wii U…or will it. In an upcoming interview, Dave h...
New Smash Bros. focusing less on new characters, more on new features
Funny thing about the upcoming Smash Bros. title for Wii U and 3DS is that the game most likely hasn’t evolved much past the design stages seeing as how it was just recently announced that the game would be a collaboration between Nintendo and Bandai Namco, but early details about the game are starting to slowly trickle in. According to a recent interview with Nintendo Power, director Masahi...
