Ruthie and I recently had the chance to ask Elder Prince of Blossomsoft a few questions about the Wii U. Though he currently has nothing in the works for the system, he is a well-respected indie developer whom you should all have on your radar – his upcoming remake of Eternal Eden for the 3DS is […]

A fresh rumour has just broken loose from 01net, the same site that accurately leaked a motherload of information about the Wii U several months ago – or as we knew it at the time, Project Café. According to their sources, Nintendo’s strategy of using slightly obsolete technology to minimize costs is on the verge of […]

Michael Schade, the CEO of German developer Fishlabs, described the Wii U as a “Fisher Price iPad,” following a comment that the dedicated console market is dying – this shortly after an analyst predicted the exact opposite, no less. Nintendo… if you read about what Iwata said about iPhone, how he didn’t take it seriously, […]

Lewis Ward, an analyst of the International Data Corporation (IDC), believes that the console market still has lots of life left, countering many investors’ theories that mobile devices are out to eat Nintendo’s lunch. Total console hardware and disc-based software revenues are on track to slide a few percent in 2011 compared to 2010. But […]

Nintendo have acquired a new patent for a “massively single-player online game” experience. The patent document’s description is rather vague, but the basic premise of the concept is that it allows many people to play online and affect each other’s experiences without directly interacting with each other, as is the case in a massively multiplayer […]

Asura’s Wrath, an action game coming to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year, has a chance of making it to the Wii U as well, if Capcom’s latest comments are to be believed. They said they’d consider bringing it to the Wii U if enough demand is seen for it on their forums as […]

According to Danny Bilson, THQ’s executive VP, the company is looking to make a true commitment to the Wii U beyond just simple ports. He teased a touchscreen-powered inventory system for Darksiders II, and overall seems to be quite excited about actually making games for the platform. We’re committed to that platform, so long as […]

Nicalis, best known for their indie hit Cave Story, are now a licensed Wii U developer, if their homepage is anything to go by. We have no idea what they’ve got in mind for the system, but they most likely wouldn’t go to the trouble of acquiring a Wii U license if they didn’t have […]

This isn’t exactly the most recent piece of news – in fact, it’s all the way back from E3 – but as it was on Nintendo’s Japanese E3 site, there’s a good chance that many of you missed it (I know I did). What we’ve got is a brief interview with Katsuhiro Harada about Tekken […]

Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Mario Strikers Charged, and Punch-Out!! are being inducted into the Nintendo Selects collection on August 28th.
