In a Nintendo Direct earlier this morning Satoru Iwata announced a new Legend of Zelda/ Dynasty Warriors hybrid to be exclusively released on Wii U titled Hyrule Warriors. Being developed by Tecmo Koei, Hyrule Warriors (Working Title) is expected by the end of 2014. Basically a Dynasty Warriors game but with Link leading the charge, it will feature the standard gameplay of the Warriors series with the added twist of classic Zelda characters, power ups and weapons.

On August 9th a Nintendo Direct for Platinum Games’ upcoming “Pikmin with Superheroes” game, The Wonderful 101, was shown. As an added surprise, Nintendo decided to release an action packed demo for the game via their eShop service, and what a surprise it was. In The Wonderful 101, you control a group of superheroes who combine themselves into giant weapons such as a fist, sword or gun in order to wreck house on evil robots intent on destroying earth. The demo gives a...
It’s been eight years since players were invited to visit the world of the Pikmin, an eternity in the world of gaming. Now with the long-promised Pikmin 3 on shelves, fans of those little fighting plant people can rejoice because this game is everything you could want and more from a AAA Nintendo game. Following the adventures of Charlie, Alph, and Brittany, a crash-landed crew from the planet Koppai, you’re tasked with finding enough fruit to save your starving home...
Like many of my gaming counterparts Nintendo was the first console that I could truly call my own and is largely responsible for starting my love for video games. It is this very reason that it pains me to say that Wii U Is Dead and there might not be a way to resurrect it. For years the name Nintendo has been synonymous with gaming, it was the name that those outside of the gaming world seemed to use when referring to consoles as a whole and that kind of brand recognition...
The day that many a Nintendo fan has been waiting for is finally here, with the SNES classic Earthbound being made available as a digital download for the Virtual Console service. Available now on the Wii U eShop for $9.99, the release will end years of pleading from the games’ ravenous fans. As an added bonus, the game guide that was included with the original cartridge will be made available on Nintendo’s website. The guide has been optimized for use with the...
With the E3 dust settling, people are starting to take their stands on which console to buy, PS4 or Xbox One. Some love Xbox One, others PS4, and both sides have their reasons. Unfortunately most people just can not afford both at launch and so are forced to chose a side, even if they have no horse in this race. So what are we buying? Well I asked the team to tell me which system appealed to them the most and why. And, even though LevelSave is a family, families have...
At E3 this year, one of the most eagerly awaited games among Nintendo fans was Mario Kart 8, the next big Mario Kart game set for release in Spring 2014. The new game keeps what everyone loves about Mario Kart with the addition of HD graphics and anti-gravity. I got my chance to race on three courses from the upcoming game. The first thing I will say is that this clearly is a Mario Kart game. It plays exactly like past games. Everything from the boost...
One of the most anticipated Nintendo games this year leading up to E3 was the 3D Mario action game Nintendo promised they would reveal at the show. When Nintendo President Satoru Iwata revealed Super Mario 3D World, fans were quite shocked. It’s a little different than we all expected, but my short hands-on time with the game proved that it is a Mario game with a lot of promise. Super Mario 3D World looks and plays exactly like Super Mario 3D Land on Nintendo 3DS...
It’s truly amazing what Nintendo has just pulled off. In 35 minutes, they have finally convinced the world that they have a game plan for Wii U and announced eight new games as well as gave updates on previously announced titles. Although I will have all the announcements today in bullet point form below, there’s no better way to get the news than to watch the Nintendo Direct broadcast yourself. After watching the video or reading the bullet points, be sure...
Need For Speed has always been one of the top arcade racers on the market and it is no surprise to see their latest title, Most Wanted making it way onto the new Wii-U. As with any game that makes the jump over to the new console Most Wanted is making use of the Gamepad in new and interesting ways. The 1st is a new way to look at local co-op as one player will be able to do the racing using the Wii remote or the Pro controller while their buddy makes use of the Gamepad by...
