When Darksiders 2 launches for the Wii U on November 18 alongside the shiny new console, players will have a couple of control options at their disposal. First and foremost, you’ll be able to play the game directly on the Wii U GamePad, which is one of the features Nintendo was really promoting when it first revealed the platform. Of […]

Nintendo previously released a video teasing the video game lineup for its upcoming Wii U. Several games including Game & Wario, ZombiU, and New Super Mario Bros.

Nintendo recently held a Wii U Experience event in Los Angeles where it was showcasing a number of titles. Games such as Rayman Legends, Nintendo Land, ZombiU, and others were all on display and had their very own playable demos. I checked out a few of these titles including New Super Mario Bros. U, and I left the demo session […]

Did you pre-order your Wii U at GameStop already? If not, then you may be interested in knowing that, well, you can’t anymore. This counts for both the basic and deluxe Wii U bundles. That’s right, pre-orders are all sold out at the games retailer. Luckily, there’s a solution. Well, kind of. While you can’t exactly put down a pre-order […]

This whole Professor Layton and Ace Attorney crossover business is pretty strange. It’s one of those things you wouldn’t expect to happen, but at the same time, the Nintendo handheld roots of both franchises kind of make it fit. Like, it actually makes sense that this is happening, even if it doesn’t make all that much sense. A trailer was […]

It appears that Nintendo and Unity have partnered up and have plans of working together as far as the Wii U is concerned. As reported on Engadget, the Big N’s upcoming platform will support the Unity Engine, which means a slew of developers will be able to create games using its tools. Already we’ve seen a number of devs both […]

When the 3DS XL launched last month in North America, it came in two very appealing color combinations. One was blue-and-black, and the other was red-and-black. Nothing extravagant, but still very nice to look at and hold. I know I certainly don’t mind carrying around my red-and-black 3DS XL. Two 3DS XL colors that weren’t released in North America were […]

Capcom has released a trailer for the upcoming Ace Attorney 5. The game was recently announced, causing fans of the graphic novel series to become filled with sheer joy.

How exactly will the online component for the Wii U function when that console launches this November? Heck if I know! But I would assume that some developers know at this point since the console is so close to its release date. That would make sense, right? Well, it seems that even devs may not be sure about how the […]

When Nintendo revealed that it wouldn’t be selling standalone GamePads for the Wii U when the console launches on November 18, it raised a lot of questions. The main query was, “How the heck are we going to play games if the controller breaks?” Now, like many other gamers out there, I’m very careful with my expensive video game hardware […]

Some game listings have popped up on Nintendo’s official site. According to a report on

While Nintendo previously mentioned that the Wii U can support dual GamePad play, it doesn’t look like that’s a feature we’ll be seeing at launch. Hell, you won’t even be able to purchase a standalone GamePad when the Wii U first hits the scene. “None of the launch window titles support dual GamePad play,” said Nintendo Product Marketing Manager Bill […]

During its Wii U presentation, Nintendo revealed that Platinum Games was developing Bayonetta 2 exclusively for the Wii U. As one might expect following an announcement of this magnitude, the internet imploded into itself after the news spread. Fans of the first Bayonetta weren’t too happy about the Wii U getting an exclusive sequel, and they voiced their opinions immediately. […]

This morning, a lot of people figured we’d be getting the skinny on the Wii U as far as pricing and launch details are concerned. Well, that’s exactly what we got. Of course, you can’t sell a platform without mentioning some games. We’ve already seen some of the content that the Big N is planning to bring to its upcoming […]

I’m not going to lie. I was expecting subsequent Wii U models with higher amounts of internal storage after the 8GB and 32GB units were announced earlier this morning. I mean, if Microsoft and Sony are doing it, why not Nintendo? After all, the Big N is no stranger to hardware revisions, so I figured the company would eventually release […]

This is a bit of a doozy. Platinum Games is readying a sequel to 2010’s fast-paced action hit Bayonetta, which is fantastic news, considering how universally well-received it was. On the flip side, Sega has passed over publishing rights to Nintendo, which means Bayonetta 2 will be a Wii U exclusive. Granted, we don’t know the exact details behind Nintendo’s publishing arrangement, but once […]

What could the Big N have in store for gamers who tune in to the stream? Hmm … Let’s think about this. It’s very likely that we’ll finally learn how much the Wii U will cost at launch. I really hope Nintendo […]
