Capcom announced that not only will Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate be available at this year’s New York Comic Con, there will also be a separate room for players to get their hands on the game in a more relaxing environment. The game will also be available to be played on the show floor as well. A competition is also scheduled with some prizes up for grabs to the winners. No word on what the competition entails, but the Capcom-Unity blog pointed to the competition that...
Controllers… they are the one device that we gamers can simply not live without, we cannot even function as we used to without one. Since I was a kid I could be found with one of many gaming controllers in my hand, I have been lucky enough to own many consoles and have had the opportunity to judge for myself just how far the controller has come. This is not simply just an article discussing how far this piece of tech has come, but also an ode to the gateway into our...
Nintendo has finally revealed when they will release the Wii U and how you will have to pay to play. To start off, the Wii U releases in the US on November 18. There will be two different configurations as seen in the picture above. The first one is called the Basic Set. In the Basic Set, you will receive the Wii U system and GamePad in white, 8 GB of internal storage, HDMI cable, and AC plugs for the rather expensive price of $299. The Deluxe Set seems to be more...
The highly popular Monster Hunter franchise has been confirmed to be coming to the Wii U and 3DS March of 2013. Players that own both a 3DS and a Wii U will be able to transfer saves between both platforms. 4 player local play will also be enabled. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate utilizes the functionalities of Wii U and Nintendo 3DS to provide players with a truly intuitive hunting experience. The touch screen feature of both platforms allows players to quickly access in-game...
You guys don’t understand my excitement about this game coming to 3DS, I was just telling Taryn, from our Playstation team, at PAX about Rollercoaster Tycoon. I spent a dumb amount of hours on that game creating the greatest theme park ever. I would also let the theme park goers get onto an unfinished rollercoaster, just to see them launched into the air at 80 mph. Back to the point, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3D is now coming to the Nintendo 3DS October 16th for an...
Nintendo has decided the time is right for a follow up to the Art Academy 3DS game that got us all scribbling away on our handheld gaming devices back in 2009 – but what are the new features we can expect from the title? Well of course, you can anticipate the expert tutelage of Vince –the game’s in-house schoolmaster and artistic tipster – to be back, guiding you through a selection of classes and tests of your ability that aim to sharpen your creativity as well as...
If you are old enough to remember rummaging through issue after issue of classic gaming magazines such as Electronic Gaming Monthly and GamePro, then you remember what an invaluable source of information Nintendo Power was. Its pages offered ream upon ream of tips, secrets, maps, guides, and lots of advertising for the readership to salivate over. Long past are the glory days of these magazines. I haven’t personally bought a Nintendo Power in at least a decade, though...
While Nintendo had a great start with the original Nintendo 3DS, it had its problems. These problems included a very low battery life, the fact that those with big hands would experience cramping while playing their 3DS, and once people saw other portable screens on devices like the PlayStation Vita or even the Nintendo DSi XL, many people wanted larger screens. Out of nowhere this past June, Nintendo announced the Nintendo 3DS XL. This is more of a luxury product, not...
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...
