The 3DS Franken-Stick is Killing Mobile Games

The recently announced 3DS XL hit the community with some controversy. The expected model revision was going to be something smaller that included a built in analog stick. We got quite the opposite with a bigger system that has no built in analog stick. It will have another franken-stick attachment though, because you wanted to carry that around. Not long after the announcement people were up in arms about the missing stick. The option to buy a second stick for the original...

Wii U Hands On: SiNG

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.

Wii U Hands On: NintendoLand

Just like its predecessor, the Wii U is pretty complicated to fully understand.  For the Wii, Wii Sports did the best job of introducing players to the Wii Remote and all that it can do.  NintendoLand hopes to do the same for the Wii U GamePad.  In NintendoLand, Nintendo’s biggest franchises come together in an amusement park with twelve attractions, each one showing off something unique about the Wii U GamePad.  At the Wii U Experience in New York City, five of...
