Originally I thought about making this comic end with the Wii U controller. The premise being that none of their controllers, portable or not, had ever featured two analog sticks. Since they pretty much invented (popularized) the analog stick it is strange to think about why they would wait so long to introduce it with the Wii U. That idea really flew out the window when I remembered the “classic controller” for the Wii. So that is a look behind the curtain, like...
With Nintendo’s next home console, Wii U, the gaming giant is taking major steps to ensure that the Wii U is a device people interact with daily and a device that keeps up with today’s hot trends. While the Wii introduced video games to millions of people who never considered playing video games before, the Wii failed in making video games a regular part of life for most of these people. The Wii U’s new controller combined with the ability to play...
Without a doubt, one of the most highly anticipated Wii U games has to be Rayman Legends, the sequel to one of the best platformers of this generation, Rayman Origins. The medieval theme, improved graphics and physics engine, and the all new co-op mode using the Wii U GamePad makes the game very different from its predecessor. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one level of Rayman Legends during my time at the Wii U Experience event in New York City. The level of Rayman...
In this episode of Torchlight, we play around with enchantments, speak musically about mortality, and face The Overseer! Also, Normal difficulty is apparently Easy Mode for this game. To the mines!
Probably the least popular game at the Wii U Experience event in New York was a new karaoke game called SiNG, developed by Freestyle Games, the makers of DJ Hero. It makes sense why nobody wanted to play SiNG. Put a bunch of introverted nerds in a room and everyone is gonna stay away from the singing game. Luckily, I am not an introverted nerd, I’m an extroverted professional. I had no problem getting up and trying SiNG on Wii U. Here is what I thought. What makes SiNG...
In this episode we come for Korarg The Downcast’s blood, search for more Ember, and suffer innumerable loading screens. To the mines!
When it has come to systems like Nintendo DS and Wii, WarioWare was always there to help demonstrate what makes these systems unique. Although Wario and pals missed the opportunity on Nintendo 3DS, they are back on Wii U in a new game tentatively called Game & Wario. From the looks of it, there will be no microgames to found in this new game starring the WarioWare characters. From what I was told, Game & Wario will feature ten minigames, four of which were...
This spawned out of someone telling Brad that he did not like Nintendo games because he had “forgotten how to have fun.” Maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong. It is interesting to think back to your wee ages as a gamer and the crap games you endured. Back then though you never endured games that were bad, you enjoyed them. Was it nativity, innocence, or have we all really just forgotten to have fun? Nintendo games do not usually resonate with me...
Upon its release this Fall, the Wii U will have plenty of games to satisfy the urges of any gamer. Ubisoft has plenty of ground covered, including a first person shooter called ZombiU. I got my hands on ZombiU’s single player mode while at the Wii U Experience event in New York City. Here are my thoughts on the ten or so minutes I survived. The premise behind ZombiU is that you play as a survivor of a terrible plague that has hit the city of London. Your goal...
Note: The LittleBigPlanet Vita beta is NOT representative of the final product. Do not take my thoughts too seriously. Some of my current issues with LittleBigPlanet Vita could be changed for the final version of the game. Media Molecule has grown the beloved Sackboy in a PlayStation icon. Many players have enjoyed building millions of levels for millions of LittleBigPlanet players on PlayStation 3 to download, play, and rate. Tarsier Studios has now taken all of the...
