Engadget has taken notice of the Wii U disc, which appears to feature rounded edges on the in and outside. Why is this a big deal? The site says that it “feels different than any other disc we’ve handled before”.

Apparently rounded discs aren’t too common. There are other rounded discs out there, but you may not come across them too often.

Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi believes the Wii U’s power is “right up there with PS3 and Xbox 360”. It also has the capability of running content on a second screen.

Ultimately, though, Hayashi thinks that creatively making games will be more important than anything else:

“In terms of power, it’s right up there with PS3 and Xbox 360 plus the power to run the extra screen on the controller. There is plenty of power there to use. For all of Nintendo’s hardware, it’s not about power; it’s about how you creatively use the hardware. When we make games for Nintendo, they are going to come and challenge us to use that hardware to make a creative game. That’s the key point from Nintendo that we always feel.”

Regarding Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge – one of Team Ninja’s first Wii U titles – Hayashi said the team wanted to make things more convenient:

“Ninja Gaiden is a console game, so we’re focused on playing it as a console game. We haven’t done a whole lot to change that because we know our fans who love that experience, and we don’t want to betray them. We don’t want to leave them out in the cold. It’s been focused on making that experience even more convenient for them.”

Paper Mario: Sticker Star Takes Collecting Stickers to a Whole New Level of Fun

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The newest installment of the Paper Mario franchise flattens the mustached hero into a two dimensional, paper-thin character and nothing could be more fun. Paper Mario: Sticker Star for the portable Nintendo 3DS introduces a new way for players to solve puzzles and execute attacks using stickers, which are found throughout the game. The colorful game world looks like a shoebox diorama, and takes on a sense of depth in full 3D, without the need for special glasses.

“The Paper Mario series is known for its inventive battles and quirky humor,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The 3D graphics and the introduction of stickers add a fresh new element that will have players glued to their games.”
