Operation Rainfall is a stark reminder that software droughts on the Wii are a problem. At a a recent investor’s call, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata was asked what steps the company was taking to ensure that the Wii U did not suffer from the same software problems as the Nintendo Wii. In response, Iwata reflected […]

Much of the Wii U already seems unusually daring for Nintendo, but a recent statement from Katsuya Eguchi reveals that they’re planning to do something which many would be quick to call downright impossible. With the Wii, we wanted to bring in as many new users as possible and have them experience the games, but […]

I know I’m probably not the only person in the world who’s looking forward to Dragon Quest X. It’s one of my highly anticipated Wii games along with Skyward Sword, Kirby Wii and a few others. Unfortunately, not much is known about the next in the Dragon Quest series. In fact we’ve had barely any news since […]

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). […]

Little to nothing is known about the Wii U’s online system except for the fact that we can expect some details in a few days time. The little we do know is that while speaking to Game Trailers, Reggie promised that the Wii U’s online systems would have all the capability of PSN and Xbox […]

They speculate that it may be a new Super Mario Galaxy title, but that’s just their own guess. But we’ve also heard another little whisper […]

For the last month or so the Wii 2 blog has been reporting on Emily Rogers’ rumours that she has received from her sources. Some of them have been believable and some of them haven’t. She has now made a list of Wii 2 rumours which she guarantees to be true or, apparently, she will never […]

In the latest issue of Nintendo Power, Takashi Iizuka apparently explained why the Wii wouldn’t be getting Sonic Generations – the game SEGA is making to commemorate Sonic’s 20th anniversary. The reason was one we’ve all probably become familiar with by now – it’s simply not powerful enough for them to realize their ideas on […]

A few days ago, Fox News ran a controversial article suggesting that the next generation of home consoles could be the last of their kind. Mobile gaming has seen a rise in popularity over the years. The cheap cost of the games compared to the price of home console games has helped to up their […]
