I’ve got an exciting announcement to make. As of today, I’m entering into a partnership with David Turnbull, a good friend of mine and the owner of Wii U Blog and Nintendo 3DS Blog. He’s joining me as the co-admin of our forums, which have now moved to their final domain name, TheWiiU.com. TheWiiU.com (formerly […]

At E3, Nintendo showed off a stunning tech demo of Link battling a giant spider in addition to the well-known Japanese Garden demo. The fine folks at GameTrailers managed to capture the entire thing and upload it to the web for all of us to see. Here it is:   It’s absolutely fantastic.

We already know that Epic Games’s Unreal Engine 3 is running at least two of the Wii U’s games, Batman: Arkham City and Aliens: Colonial Marines. However, it seems that the studio’s support for the system may extend beyond simply porting their famous engine over to it… You may remember when Mark Rein stated he […]

You’re probably familiar with the gorgeous Japanese Garden tech demo Nintendo showed us at E3 by now. But what you may not know is that there is a second half to it that was not shown during the press conference. Thanks to a camera-happy journalist at E3, we’ve now got a video of the entire […]

Sega’s Alan Pritchard said in an interview with GameSpot about Sonic Generations (which he also deconfirmed for the Wii U) that Nintendo’s new console is coming to store shelves in either the spring or summer of 2012. If anything, this fits with everything we’ve heard about the system’s release date so far, including Iwata’s statement […]

Seeing the sheer amount of awesome tech the Wii U packs, I wouldn’t blame you for being worried about what it’s gonna cost – even I’m concerned about it. Nintendo is refusing to provide even a ballpark figure for how much it’s gonna go for, but Satoru Iwata just went on record saying that it’s […]

I’m happy to see that Nintendo won’t be getting the shaft anymore with major multiplatform releases; and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, one of the first Wii U games to be announced, is certainly no exception. The Wii U version of the game will be unique in that it incorporates touchscreen controls in the style […]

There’s been some confusion lately because much of the footage we’ve seen of Wii U projects has actually been lifted from their PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 versions. This naturally raised the question of whether Nintendo has something to hide from us, power-wise. Well, leave it to THQ to lighten up your concerns, as they’ve […]

Activision’s CEO, Eric Hirshberg, spoke his thoughts on the Wii U, pledging his company’s support for the new console. We will be supporting the Wii U. You bet against Nintendo at your peril. As a long-time Nintendo fan myself, this confidence in the Wii U and Nintendo’s future makes me happy. However, Activision hasn’t revealed anything […]

Speaking to IGN in an interview, Masahiro Sakurai had a couple of interesting things to say about Super Smash Bros. When asked about the possibility of a Capcom character or two making it into the game’s Wii U and 3DS installment, he replied: I can’t say that it’s entirely out of the realm of possibility […]
