Wii U not meant to outpower PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
While our image of the Wii U’s exact tech specs is still rather vague, Miyamoto dropped the bomb in an interview with GameSpot that Nintendo is not aiming to crush the competition with vastly superior graphics, citing price as the reason they’re once again going to sell the Wii U on its unique controller instead. […]
Wii U Go has a new Facebook Page!
Since the site was renamed from Wii 2 Blog to Wii U Go, our old Facebook page became somewhat irrelevant. Sadly, Facebook doesn’t allow anything with over 100 likes to change its name, so I’m counting on your cooperation to re-like our new page for Wii U Go! I’ll see you there!
Reggie: Wii U is not an iPad imitator
This interview is a few days old, but I thought it was worth sharing, seeing how many people are thinking of the Wii U controller as an “iPad with buttons.” Speaking to VentureBeat, Reggie Fils-Aime claimed that the Wii U’s controller wasn’t influenced by the iPad, explaining that they began development on the Wii U before […]
Reggie: ‘We’ve only shown 10% of the Wii U’s potential’
In a video interview with the publication EFE at E3, Reggie Fils-Aime said that they’ve only shown 10% of the Wii U’s potential off at this point. There’s a lot more to be shown in terms of the games and the experiences, but what we are communicating is this idea of two screens – the […]
Wii U developers’ kits are underclocked units
The arguably scandalous news that much of the footage of Wii U games that was shown at E3 was actually lifted from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the same games caused a minor outburst among fans of all three gaming giants. Now, though, we’ve got a report that just might give us […]
A closer look at the Wii U console and tablet controller
The Japanese website Inside Games was fortunate enough to get close to a Wii U console that wasn’t locked into a bulletproof capsule, and took a few nice close-up shots of it for us. Hit the break to see all seven of their pictures!
BioShock Infinite won’t be coming to the Wii U
I think Irrational Games are being a bit…you know, irrational. In an interview with the German site GamesweltTV, they confirmed that they’re not planning to bring BioShock Infinite to Nintendo’s latest and greatest. Not only that, but they don’t have anything else in the cards for the Wii U, either. I find this a bit […]
Katsuya Eguchi talks Metroid Wii U
In an interview with Kotaku, Katsuya Eguchi more or less confirmed that a Metroid game was in the cards for the Wii U. He didn’t say anytthing about whether it was in development or not at this time, but did talk a bit about how a Metroid title could take advantage of the Wii U’s […]
Iwata confirms that the Wii U doesn’t play DVD’s or Blu-ray discs
Iwata found the time to meet up with his investors even through the E3 craze, and Nintendo have posted a transcript of the meeting online. In it, Iwata confirmed that the Wii U will feature neither DVD nor Blu-ray playback because you probably already have something that plays them. Wii U does not have DVD […]
Nintendo buys up a ton of Wii U domain names
It looks like Nintendo’s getting ready for the Wii U’s release by grabbing a ton of domains related to it. Many of them suggest the possibility of games like Wii Fit U, Wii Sports U, or New Super Mario Bros. Mii (which there was ample reason to believe would turn into a full game, anyway). […]
