Wii U
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...
Pikmin 3 stays the course for the franchise. Will be a familiar, enjoyable experience.
Remember the New Play Control! version of Pikmin that released way back in 2009? Yup, so do I. You know how Nintendo plans on finally releasing the New Play Control! version of Pikmin 2 here in the states next week? Yeah, I plan on picking that one up too. If you have played both of these, then you pretty much know what to expect for Pikmin 3, because aside from the added Wii U GamePad map, the ga...
The most impressive game at E3 was on Wii U
… and was most definitely ZombiU, hands down. It wasn’t even close. Granted, most of my time thus far has been entirely with Nintendo products, but even still, the game has the makings of greatness. Not only did the game scare the pants off of me at some points, but the game was so polished that you would think it was ready for release tomorrow. The game takes place in a 2012 zombie in...
Nintendos Lackluster Presentation Wards Off Stockholders
It seems that Nintendo Stockholders, in Japan at least, are a bit weary of the success of the Wii U and the announced launch titles. Following the Wii U Presentation, share prices dropped 2.68% since trading opened. Today, the Nintendo stock dropped an additional 0.99% in Japan. Sony’s stocks rose by 2.14% after their presentation. Does this mean that the Wii U is destined to fail? I don...
Infendo Radio E3 edition
So here’s the thing. The Wifi is terrible at E3. For that matter the Wifi is terrible in Canada as well (sorry Marcus!). For those reasons and a few others, our podcast was truncated this week, and we actually lost 10-15 minutes of the show. Sorry! Doesn’t mean that is still there isn’t excellent however! Think of it as cutting off the fat on an excellent piece of steak maybe. In...
Full Specs for Wii U purportedly leaked
This is a follow-up to my previous article on the slim pickings on the official specs that were released by Nintendo yesterday.
3DS Majoras Mask?
Leading up to the Nintendo 3DS presentation, rumors are still buzzing about a possible release of Majora’s Mask for the 3DS. The rumors were buzzing that the Wii U would host the game, however it was AWOL from the presentation. Now the internets are abuzz that Majora’s Mask might actually be a Nintendo 3DS title.
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...
Wii U Specs
Nintendo has finally put out its specs sheet for the Wii U. It’s far from a definitive list, but I can’t complain about having extra oomph compared to the Wii.
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...
New Super Mario Bros. U trailer
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4pJnV5OxPI[/youtube] In addition to the several first-party titles (which was slightly lacking in my opinion) at Nintendo’s E3 press conference, the company unveiled a trailer for New Super Mario Bros. U. Nintendo has the game slated as a Wii U launch title. More to come as E3 show floor opens today.
