Assassin’s Creed Wii U won’t be a port
Remember that sizzle reel that Nintendo showed off at E3 will all of that 3rd party support? Well the thing about those games is that many of them will have been out on other consoles for almost a year by the time the Wii U hits the market. Not Assassin’s Creed on Wii U, however. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot says that the Wii U title will not be Revelations, but instead be a title for “the fu...
El Shaddai spin-off may be Wii U bound
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVykc7cmjyU [/youtube] El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron was most definitely one of the strangest, most beautiful games on display at last month’s E3 in Los Angeles. El Shaddai is a third-person action title developed by character designer Takeyasu Sawaki for the Xbox 360 and PS3 and is scheduled to release in a few weeks. Destructoid recently att...
Reggie on Wii U: Online experience will be robust, takes jab at Sony and Microsoft
While there have been no concrete details on the online infrastructure of Wii U, Nintendo has flat out stated they need to do better. While the launch of the eshop for 3DS was a nice start, if Nintendo is serious about offering a service comperable to Microsoft’s Xbox Live or Sony’s Playstation Network, they have a long way to go.
Nintendo: Zelda HD won’t “necessarily” look like this
Speaking to Wired last week about the conceptual Wii U demo of Zelda HD (pictured), here’s what producer Eiji Aonuma had to say: “You probably remember that when we introduced the GameCube, we showed a somewhat realistic Zelda demo,” he said. “And what we actually created was the cel-shaded Wind Waker. So when we show a graphic demo, people think, ”˜Oh, this is what the next Zelda will look...
Don’t hold your breath for Smash Bros. Wii U/ 3DS…Masahiro Sakurai says he hasn’t even started yet
Even though Satoru Iwata only mentioned Smash Bros. in passing during his E3 keynote, naturally the news of two Smash Bros. titles coming to Wii U and 3DS was the biggest news to come out from Nintendo this year. Before we get too excited, I have some bad news. As it turns out, development has yet to begin for either game. Don’t sell your copy of Brawl just yet.
Nintendo, get Gabe Newell a Wii U dev kit, STAT!
Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve spoke to Joystiq today at New York’s Games for Change Festival and had good things to say about Wii U. Seeing as how Valve has never released a game on a Nintendo console, this should be welcome news to Nintendo fans. “Wii U seems to be a lot more powerful than the previous generation. It sort of fits better into the scalability in terms of graphics pe...
Wii U has been in development since 2007
In an interview with Gamasutra, Satoru  Iwata discusses how development for the Nintendo Wii U started mere months after Wii released. By 2007 there where already working prototypes of a dual screened console experience, but not exactly the way we know Wii U today. “Considering how expensive screens were then, it did not make sense to have this big-sized LCD. We would not have been able to ...
Poll: Will you buy Nintendo Wii U at launch?
Based on everything we know… {democracy:151}
For some reason Wii U not having Blu-ray/DVD playback is a big deal
The interwebs are abuzz today as word spreads that Nintendo does not plan on including DVD or Blu-ray playback on Wii U. Lots of negativity directed towards Nintendo about this decision has popped up on forums message boards, and even here on Infendo. Quite frankly, I fail to see why this is a big deal when I can head over to Amazon and find a Blu-ray player on the cheap. Sub $80 cheap. Mark my ...

Impressions: HD Experience (Zelda HD)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTkCIJGTe_U[/youtube] Although Zelda wasn’t playable at E3, the interactive HD experience was just what I needed to know that Wii U could cut the mustard graphically. It was basically just a looping video, but by pushing the touch screen buttons you could change the camera angle, change the lighting from dark to light, and change the from the televisio...
