Producing a game to run on as many platforms as possible is the ideal way to boost sales and while we wait for the arrival of next-gen consoles there are some top titles coming to the existing systems, so we can understand concerns about Battlefield 4 on Wii U. According to DICE the Battlefield 4 engine will not run on the Nintendo Wii U and tests carried out with the Frostbite 2 engine haven’t sh... »
Plenty of focus is currently on Microsoft and Sony’s next-gen consoles, although the only system on the market at present showing signs of next-gen technology is Nintendo’s Wii U console. This has caused us to question whether we already have a worthy system that has had some time to establish itself. We understand that both the Xbox 720 and the PS4 may not be an instant success, but once the user... »

With reports suggesting the relatively new Wii U console is underselling, we are intrigued about next month’s UK release of the Nintendo Wii Mini. It seems this new cheaper model of the Wii will be available from March 22nd, after being introduced to Canada, but is this just a step backwards for Nintendo? It didn’t take long for those at Digital Foundry to open up the Wii Mini and check out what i... »
As you know the Nintendo Wii U will not be getting Halo 4, as that game is exclusive to the Xbox 360, so you would have thought that retailers would have wanted to offer aggressive pricing on new Wii U games in order to help build sales during the Holiday Season. The reason we say this is because there seems to be an inconsistency with the UK price for Wii U games, and it’s clear to see that Black... »
Having already announced what is considered one of the best list of launch titles for a new console, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime has said that there are still more unannounced titles coming before March, and we have a feeling that one of the new Wii U games could be a doozy because the last time Reggie said such a thing he announced that Black Ops 2 was coming to their upcoming console. Know... »
We have to question how Nintendo do things as they seem to release the smaller product first and then the large version later down the line, a total opposite of what the likes of Sony does. We’re talking about the 3DS XL, which is a larger version of the current eye-popping 3DS. While Nintendo will have you believe that it’s a much better upgrade there are a few flaws in the new model,... »
The decision for Nintendo not to charge Wii U owners a subscription fee for online services is unsurprising to us, because any other decision would have been a mistake. Things are still not clear and Nintendo could go the route of Sony and offer a Plus like service for added benefits. While this is a plausible idea, we’re not sure if Nintendo has what it takes to offer such a service. Xbox L... »
