2013 is the year of Luigi

Man, Mario gets all the attention; the best mushrooms and even all the girls. That all changes this year, because it’s the year of Luigi. That’s the overall message from the perpetually delightful Nintendo president Satoru Iwata from yesterday’s Nintendo Direct.

New Mario, Zelda and Yoshi headline the first party games of the Wii U

I love the Wii U, but dammit, the console is on some shaky ground right now. Despite having a great launch with some top level games thrown in from DarkSiders 2 to the latest addition to the Super Mario Bros franchise, the console is having a hard time remaining relevant. And quite simply, that’s because it needs more games. And fortunately, that’s exactly what's going to happen according to the latest Nintendo Direct conference, because some heavy-hitting first party titles are on the way.

Nintendo won’t repeat its 3DS mistakes with Wii U

June 26, 2012 at 3:45 pm | 3 Comments

When the 3Ds launched, it did so at a price that many felt was just a tad too high. As a result, sales of the device slumped until the company decided to slash its price in a drastic attempt to further the device’s momentum. Nintendo doesn’t want to repeat that costly cost mistake - so expect the system to be…affordable.

Nintendo is like, really sorry you guys

Still feeling a little stung over the recent announcement that Nintendo is going to drastically slash the price of the 3DS? Are those free games, which you need online access and a quick region change workaround for, not appealing to you in any way? Well then, Nintendo has something more substantial for you then. An apology. From the heart.
