Not something many other games would want to risk, but then, as a hardcore brawler from Capcom that’s basically an Asian God of War, it’s right up this game’s alley.
This morning, Nintendo showed off a highlight reel of third-party games supposedly running on its new Wii U console. They looked great. Turns out that footage wasn’t running on anything of the sort. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has told GameTrailers that the footage—of games like Ghost Recon and Darksiders II—was instead culled from…
A Pikmin game has long been in development for the Wii. Well, it’s not anymore, as Nintendo has announced that the game is instead going to be released on the Wii U. The original plan was to release the Wii game this year, for the series’ tenth anniversary, but once Miyamoto saw the new system’s…
Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario and Zelda, is winding up development on Wii games, the Nintendo legend revealed today. Speaking at a Q&A attended by Kotaku, Miyamoto said that he always “focuses on newest upcoming platforms”, and that would mean that the upcoming Skyward Sword would be “one of the last if not the…
At Nintendo’s Q&A session earlier today, Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that prior to development of the upcoming Skyward Sword, he’d given the franchise team a warning: either it was the best Zelda ever made or there would be no more Zeldas He also said the same thing to the Star Fox developers. Either Star…
I haven’t done a faster turnaround on a game than I did with Prey 2 the other day. Granted, that was for a cinematic trailer, so let’s see how well my excitement holds up looking at something a little more practical. Hrm. Well, I am a sucker for aliens in sharp suits.
More from the Nintendo Q&A: it seems Mario Kart 3DS is being developed not solely by Nintendo, but as a collaboration between Nintendo and Retro, the team behind the Metroid Prime series. It’ll also run at 60fps.
Fresh from the Nintendo Q&A, we’ve learned that Super Mario 3DS has at least one neat level: one that’s a Zelda tribute, from the top-down NES-style camera view to going room-to-room in a dungeon solving puzzles.
Disney Universe is essentially LEGO: Disney Movies without the LEGO. If that doesn’t make sense, watch the video.
This morning, Nintendo unveiled the video game industry’s first new major home console since 2006. Yes, it’s been that long! That console is called the Wii U, and here’s everything we know about the machine so far. We’ve seen the Wii U in the flesh, played its games, seen its trailers and poked at its…
You know what’s so appealing about this new Tomb Raider? The vulnerability. So many games turn you into a superhero that it’s refreshing to see one where breaking bones and bleeding look as dangerous as it should be. Brian’s had a play of the game, and walked away very, very impressed
First shown during yesterday’s Sony press conference, this is the cinematic E3 trailer for upcoming multiplayer shooter Starhawk. And no, I don’t know why the bad guys stand in a circle and shoot one at a time either.
Professor Layton and the Last Specter, a DS game out in Japan since 2009, is finally coming to the West, Nintendo revealed during its E3 press conference earlier this morning. It’s coming to the US this Fall.
You may be done with Dead Rising 2, but Frank West isn’t. And in this trailer, Frank West sticks things up a zombie’s ass. Gameplay footage follows.
A lot of screenshots you see in this business, especially around this time of year, have been, let’s say, “touched up”. Made to look a little prettier than they will be when the game actually ships. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim doesn’t do pretty. And these new screens for the sprawling RPG show why that’s…
Paper Mario, you have been a delight on every Nintendo system you have ever appeared on. Don’t go changing that with the 3DS version! Not that there’s any reason to doubt the series, given what’s on show in the above E3 trailer.
If this looks familiar, that’s because Super Mario Bros. Mii is basically Super Mario Bros. Wii. Only for the Wii U, and instead of controlling lesser Mushroom Kingdom stars, your Mii can pull on some overalls and get to work. Remember, although Nintendo is releasing media for this and has playable demos, it remains just…
I swore I was done with Animal Crossing. That too many same-same games and too many wasted days meant I was finished with the franchise. But this just looks so…charming
Don’t like the new Dante’s look? You may want to watch this. You know, this still looks nothing like a Devil May Cry game. And as someone who was never really interested in Devil May Cry games before, but likes where this is going, that’s a good thing.
While Nintendo normally doesn’t like to talk numbers when touting a new system’s capabilities, the companies providing those capabilities have no such qualms. Like IBM, who today issued a press release boasting some of the Wii U’s hardware specifications, including the fact the microprocessor serving as “the heart” of the console is a custom 45nm…
