Sonic the Hedeghog is celebrating a birthday today. The Blue Blur made his debut on the SEGA Genesis 22 years ago. He’s had ups and downs since then, but at the end of the day, Sonic is one of the most recognized characters in video games. Happy birthday!
EA: Nintendo fans may miss out a little on Madden NFL 14 for Wii U, not turning off Madden NFL 13’s off switch
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
EA won’t be releasing Madden NFL 25 on Wii U. What’s a Nintendo fan to do if they’re looking for a football experience? Play last year’s release, Madden NFL 13.
EA Sports producer Thomas Singleton acknowledged that “Nintendo fans will probably miss out a little bit”, but said those seeking a Madden game can look towards Madden NFL 13, “a great product and you can continue playing that product because it’s not going anywhere”.
“I think the Nintendo fans will probably miss out a little bit, but the Wii U version that we created last year was a great product and you can continue playing that product because it’s not going anywhere – it’s still there. Whether or not we’re shipping a new version? We’re not.”
According to Singleton, when it comes to Madden NFL 13 on Wii U, “We don’t have any plans on turning off the off switch.”
EA not writing off Wii U, “not not developing” for the console
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
During E3 2013, EA was continually asked about its stance towards Wii U. The publisher originally committed to the console at E3 2011, where it announced an “unprecedented partnership” with Nintendo.
That ended rather quickly. EA put out a couple of so-so sports games, the outdated Mass Effect 3, and the admittedly high-quality Need for Speed: Most Wanted U before calling it a day.
But EA Labels president Frank Gibeau has once again given assurance that it hasn’t abandoned Wii U. Gibeau told IGN that EA is “not writing it off” and is “not not developing for Wii U.” EA will be watching the console as it focuses on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
“it’s been 60 days since we launched Need for Speed Most Wanted on the Wii U. We’ve launched four games. We’re proud of them. They’re in the marketplace and they’re selling. The guys inside the studio are looking at the Wii U tech and they’re looking at the platform. They understand it. As it develops, if there’s an opportunity to publish more games on the Wii U, we’ll do that. We’re not writing it off. We’re not not developing for the Wii U. We’re just watching it, and we’re really focused right now on PS4 and Xbox One, to really nail that transition.”

Excellent Super Smash Bros. Wii U/Brawl comparisons

These are probably some of the best comparisons we have of the new Smash Bros. and Brawl. Kirby is actually completely round on Wii U!
Disconnecting the main site and forum
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Site updates | 0 comments
Well, it looks like the time has come… and sooner than I originally anticipated. I think it’s time to disconnect the forum and main site. Some important aspects can’t be fixed until that connection is broken, so now’s as good a time as any!
The forum’s news sub-board will still exist. When everything is finished, I’m considering opening it fully so that anyone can post a topic. If it becomes superfluous or you guys think it’s silly, I’ll remove it.
No exact timetable for the disconnect since I have a lot of items to take care of beforehand, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up as to what our plans are. What we’ll likely end up doing is implementing Disqus for comments going forward. It works well enough on GE, and a lot of people already have accounts since it’s a widely-used comments system.
Thoughts, complaints, or anything else? Post in the comments, forum, or send us an email!
Stupid video: Watch Iwata make some “announcements”

Time for another stupid video! Nintendo president Satoru Iwata makes a few “announcements” in this Nintendo Direct Mini.
