Is A Wii U Price Drop Expected In The Near Future?

I, and many others, believe that the Wii U is a fantastic console with a lot to offer, in fact it might just be the best around.  From the outside it is sleek and sexy. On the inside it is down to earth, yet has a wild side that is irresistible.  For me, the Wii U is the perfect console.  It is new, innovative, bold, and ready for anything.  However, it has some steep competition out there.  I com...

Sonic Lost Worlds debut trailer

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-sIkDWfccU[/youtube] Today, Sega has released the first footage of the Wii U and 3DS exclusive title, Sonic Lost Worlds. The trailer depicts Sonic in a brand new environment that looks to echo back to the character’s early days of rampant speed and tight control. Sega has not mentioned other details regarding the title, but one thing does to come to m...

Completely Accurate Gaming History: Wii U Edition

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzTKKZ5lCAQ#![/youtube] To be fair, using the Wii U Game Pad as a hat, while incredibly silly, would make for a possibly great gameplay mechanic. Thanks to Ebolaworld64 for the hilarious video. NSFW language ahead.

Wii U Sales Increase 875% In UK after Xbox One Reveal

I don’t normally post two articles so close together, however when I saw this news I was intrigued and thought it would make for a great weekend discussion. It seems that since the Xbox One reveal, Wii U sales in the UK have blown up!  Before the reveal, the Wii U was ranked at about #390 on Amazon’s PC & Gaming Best sellers list.  After the launch, it quickly rose to #48 and incre...

Wii U, Xbox One, and PS4

Yesterday’s Xbox one reveal (Click here to see my report on the reveal) was pretty fantastic, compared to the PS4’s lackluster announcement.  We were able to see actual game play for Call of Duty Ghosts, quite a few additional features, and an actual console (although it sort of reminds me of an updated CDI in appearance).  But how do the three compare to each other from a tech standpo...

So, apparently EA says it is still developing games for the Wii U

After last week’s surprising comments from Electronic Arts spokesperson Jeff Brown about the company not having any titles in development for the Wii U, many current owners of Nintendo’s latest console were none too pleased about their sentiments. Some analysts and critics labeled this as the Wii U’s “Dreamcast” moment, in which it would be the first domino to fall in...

The Gaming World Against The Wii U

It seems that everywhere you turn, there is nothing but negative news surrounding the Wii U.  Honestly, other than Infendo.com and a few other Nintendo centric websites, I cannot find anyone that has reported on the good aspects of the console.  Instead they tell us about how horrible it is compared to two unreleased consoles (that incidentally we know very little about.).  Could this stem from Je...

Nintendo and EA: A Love/Hate History

In recent weeks, there has been a lot of tension between our beloved Nintendo and the Gaming giant Electronic Arts.  With the announcement that the Wii U would not receive the new Madden, and the disappointing news about the Frostbite Engine’s incompatibility with the console.  Many have wondered where this recent animosity has stemmed from, unaware that neither gaming juggernaut has ever re...

EA hits a wall with the Wii U

  Frostbite is the name of the engine that powers allot of EA’s games, such as Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360 and PS3 using the Frostbite 2 engine. EA’s next generation engine Frostbite 3 is already underway and EA has confirmed the next instalments of Battlefield, Need for Speed and Mass Effect will all be using this engine. So how is everything shaping up with the Wii U? EA DICE technical direct...

Warren Spector Not Happy About New Wolfenstein Announcement

I will admit, a new Wolfenstein does not appeal to me at all, but I don’t really have anything negative to say about it.  However, Mr. Spector is a little more vocal about the idea. “Did the world really need another Wolfenstein game? Did we need a generically dark, monochromatic, FPS, kill-the-Nazi-giant-robot game? Uh. No. The world did not. I am so tired of stuff like this. “You’re welcom...
