PDP had a bunch of new products on display at E3 2012, a number of which happen to be Nintendo-related. The company was showing off accessories for the Wii U, 3DS, and more. As you’ll see in the gallery above, there are add-ons involving Epic Mickey 2, Scribblenauts Unlimited, and even some Nintendo-themed iPhone cases.

Are you a member of Club Nintendo? Then perhaps you’ve received an email containing an invitation to play Wii U.

Select members are being contacted by Nintendo to play the new console in New York City. Those who are invited can sample the system between June 26 and June 30.

This is a great reward for Club Nintendo members, as those who are given the opportunity to participate can be among the first fans in the world to play Wii U.

Thanks to Mia for the tip.

It seems like the longer I watch this industry progress, the further from me it moves. It is slowly severing its connections with innovation, artistic expression, or even just plain fun. We see fewer games like ‘Flower’ and more games like ‘Call of Duty’. Fewer games like ‘Zelda’ and more games like ‘Darksiders’. Fewer games like ‘Mario Kart’ and more games like ‘Forza’. The longer I look at it, the worse it seems to get. Profits go up, but my enjoyment goes down.

I never really understood why I felt this way- at least not in any tangible, communicable sense- but finally I figured it out. It’s all because of testosterone. It’s all because of that weird, obscure concept of “manliness” as though it is something that even exists, much less is important.

Above are two rumored pictures of the Wii U’s first dev kits, codenamed under the CAT-DEV (Cafe Tool for Development) banner.

The hardware lacks DRC (Display Remote Controller) support and is without any optical media. Developers were only able to make use of the Wii Classic Controller at this stage. The back of the hardware features the same outputs as the Wii along with the HDMI output/the classic controller port.

Of course, future iterations introduced new functionality and upgrades. Without DRC, I don’t believe developers would have been able to make use of the Wii U GamePad.

Some of this art looks truly incredible. Here’s hoping it translates well into the game!
