Metro: Last Light delayed to Q1 2013
THQ announced at a recent investor relations meeting that Metro: Last Light has been delayed to the fourth quarter of their 2012 fiscal year – this translates to the first quarter of 2013, so we won’t be getting the game for at least another year from now. But despite this, Amazon are offering pre-orders for every […]
The Wii U won’t play DVD’s or Blu-ray discs
I don’t think anyone expected the Wii U to be compatible with DVD’s and Blu-ray discs, seeing as the Wii and GameCube both skipped out on DVD support, but we now have official confirmation from Nintendo that the console doesn’t support them. The reason for this is that the Wii U uses a proprietary disc […]

Graphics will be important for Zelda Wii U
At Nintendo’s last investor relations meeting, Miyamoto pointed out that the Wii U isn’t “just about better graphics,” which should hopefully be quite clear considering the console’s true strength lies in its versatile controller. But that doesn’t mean graphics don’t carry any weight for him – in fact, Miyamoto expressed that visuals will be very […]

These just keep coming! Tecmo Koei released yet another beautiful set of Ninja Gaiden 3 screenshots, all of which I’ve uploaded after the break. This particular set comes from the game’s multiplayer mode, which we’ve heard some neat details about before.
The Chinese ripoff of the Wii U
The Wii U is still a long ways off from release, but that didn’t stop Chinese manufacturer JXD from “borrowing” a few elements of its controller. The JXD S7100 (pictured above) is an Android device billed as a “game console” on JXD’s website. The S7100 features a 7-inch 800×480-pixel capacitive touchscreen, motion sensors (described as […]

The Wii U will be “at its best” at launch
We’ve heard this a few times before, but at yesterday’s investor relations meeting, Iwata took the time to reassure us that his company “learned a bitter lesson from the launch of the Nintendo 3DS” and will do everything they can to make the Wii U fantastic right at launch. For the launch of new hardware, […]
