Original advertisement for the NES found on eBay
Posted on 7 years ago by Zack in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
After a reported five years of searching, the first advertisement for what would become the Nintendo Entertainment System has been located.
Hidden a few pages into a 1984 issue of Consumer Electionics is the first advertisement for the NES, in the form of a prototype known as the Advanced Video System, or AVS. Found by archivist Frank Cifaldi on eBay, he parted with a measly $6.99 for what he considered an “extremely lucky” find.

Evidence pointing to April launch for Yooka-Laylee
Posted on 7 years ago by Zack in Rumors, Wii U | 15 Comments
If the Xbox store webpage is anything to go by, it seems that Yooka-Laylee will be released in April.
The page has Yooka-Laylee listed for release on April 11. A Brazilian retailer also posted its own release date of April 7 for physical versions. While this is by no means an official confirmation, one could assume that we’re likely close to an actual official announcement from Playtonic in the near future.
The only slightly concerning thing here is that a physical version of Yooka-Laylee is nowhere to be seen. Missing out on a retail release wouldn’t be entirely surprising given the state of the console, but we’ll have to see what Playtonic and Team17 are planning.

Super Mario Run will require an online connection to work

According to an interview by Mashable.com, Super Mario Run will require an online connection for all three game modes due mainly to “security elements”.
It seems Super Mario Run will be one of the only Nintendo games to require a constant online connection to function, according to Shigeru Miyamoto. While Miyamoto said that Nintendo attempted to have the World Tour mode be playable offline, but it proved unfeasible due to how World Tour affects the other modes, and how these modes rely on network saves.
When asked about the online requirement and if there were any plans for an offline mode, Miyamoto had this to say:
