EA doing the Wii U afterall

Remember how EA said the Wii U is crap and they won't be building games for it?  Well, time to backpedal!

Ubisoft has faith in the Wii U

May 20, 2013 at 12:30 pm | 21 Comments

With just about every publisher  - most notably, EA - giving up on Nintendo’s Wii U, it’s refreshing to see one of the large-tier ones committing to the platform. Ubisoft seems to understand that it takes time to establish a user base, and the only thing that’ll help that happen quicker is great games.

EA: "The Wii U is crap”

May 20, 2013 at 9:45 am | 49 Comments

You may have heard that EA is not exactly supporting Nintendo’s Wii U much – and likely won;t support it in the future. That in itself is bad enough – but now we have one of EA’s software engineers taking the gloves off completely, saying that the Wii U is “crap.”

Has EA given up on the Wii-U already?

May 17, 2013 at 7:45 am | 16 Comments

I like the Wii-U, Geoff and Zoe are also solid fans of the new Nintendo device but by the look of things that’s about all the fans the poor console has at the moment and the latest news that EA is currently not making any games for the Wii-U isn’t helping.

Has the Wii U’s latest system update increase its clock speeds?

May 13, 2013 at 12:30 pm | 11 Comments

I read the most ridiculous rumour this weekend regarding the Wii U, but I thought I’d share it with you anyway, and see what you think. It’s well known by know that the Wii U runs on a 1.24GHz IBM PowerPC 7xx-based tri-core processor dubbed “Espresso, and that its GPU is a 550MHz AMD Radeon codenamed “Latte.” An unsourced rumour on TV Tropes of all places suggests that the most recent firmware update has significantly bumped up the system’s clock rates.

Can the Wii U claw back?

May 10, 2013 at 3:30 pm | 16 Comments

It’s starting to look pretty grim for Nintendo’s Wii U. While the company’s systems thrived on third-party support in the past (The NES and SNES are home to some of the best games ever made), Nintendo consoles have increasingly become reliant on first-party software. The problem is that without third party support, only die-hards end up buying your hardware – and third party support for the Wii U is dwindling at a rate of knots.

No EA games for the Wii U?

EA's Frostbite 3 engine, which is used for most of their next-gen titles, won't be supported by the Wii U.

Review: Kung Fu Rabbit

May 2, 2013 at 3:30 pm | 9 Comments

Sometimes, mobile games make it huge. The fact that you can get Angry Birds beanies is proof of that if nothing else is.  Apparently, Kung Fu Rabbit was so successful on the mobile platform, they decided to make it suitable for HD TVs and bring it to your Wii U.

Has the Wii U been hacked?

May 2, 2013 at 12:00 pm | 11 Comments

Nintendo’s Wii U is struggling a little at the moment, and the primary reason for that is the lack of games. Without much consumer support for the system, 3rd party support is dwindling – and it could be set to decrease even more – because the system has reportedly been hacked.

LEGO City Undercover review

April 23, 2013 at 3:30 pm | 11 Comments

Meet Chase McCain. This small, yellow cop lives to fight crime. Sadly he has more charm than brains, which forced him to leave Lego City after his last big case. Now he is back, looking for forgiveness and to work out how the villainous Rex Fury got out of prison. Now, with Lego City suffering its worst crime wave ever, it is up to Chase to get to the bottom of the case, with the help of his one-liners and his useless sidekick, Honey.

Splinter Cell Blacklist Wii-U Trailer

Ubisoft have released a new Splinter Cell Blacklist trailer that specifically showcases the advantages and features of the Nintendo Wii-U version over the others. It’s nice to see a developer specifically targeting the strengths of the new Nintendo console.

The Wii-U titles that Nintendo needs

April 10, 2013 at 1:00 pm | 13 Comments

The Wii-U isn’t selling as well as Nintendo hoped and that is partly because a lot of people are waiting on the next Xbox and PlayStation 4 and partly on the current slate of games available for the platform. The guys and girls over at Neogaf have been putting their Photoshop skills to the test and have put together a bunch of gaming covers that they think will make the platform soar.

Pachter doesn’t hate Nintendo!

But he still feels that they’re a poor investment, and will likely never return to the money-printing days of the Wii and the DS.

I kind of asked for this – Deus Ex:Human Revolution heads to Wii U

March 22, 2013 at 2:00 pm | 12 Comments

The very definition of a flawed masterpiece, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a game that sits proudly on a shelf of games that will never ever be traded by me. I still love the game, and the soundtrack is a regular on my playlists during the day. And now, that cyberpunk Renaissance is headed to the Wii U.

FFD: What exclusives would you like to jump ship?

March 15, 2013 at 10:30 am | 100 Comments

No matter your gaming platform of choice, you’re sure to have access to some pretty incredible games. PC Gamers get cool stuff like DayZ, ARMA, Stalker and RTS games, while each console has its share of 1st party exclusives. The PlayStation’s got a wealth of exclusives, like God of War, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted and The Last of Us; The Xbox has Gears of War, Forza and Halo – while Nintendo platforms arguably have the richest library of Nostalgia-driven franchises like Mario, Zelda, Metroid and more.
